They say life gets more interesting after 40. Chloe hopes it’s true.
Freshly divorced at 40, Chloe has few illusions left about her ability to make any of her dreams come true. She is never going to be thin, never going to be a famous singer, and obviously never going to be sexy enough to keep a man like her handsome ex-football player husband from cheating. Thank heavens she at least has great … at least has great friends.
Celebrating her return to Cali with a long weekend at the 5-star Blue Skies Hotel and Spa with them seems like just the thing she needs to jump start her “do over” post-divorce life. How much Chloe ends up liking sexy owner, 45 yr old Jasper Wade, is a surprise though. So is the way Jasper’s unrestrained kisses send lust and renewed hope singing through her.

Loved it!
You can always count on Ms. McDonald for a wonderful read, and this is a perfect example. Chloe returns to California after her divorce. She meets her two best friends from college at the Blue Skies Hotel and Spa for a celebration of her freedom from the serial cheater. You could say that Jasper Wade, the owner, is her “destiny” as his ex cheated on him. This is their story as they find not only themselves but also love.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book and purchased a copy for my collection.
This is Next Song I Sing, book 1 of the Next Time Around series written by Donna McDonald. I really love this book! We meet 3 lifelong friends all in different stages of their lives as they each try to pick up the pieces and start down the next path. First up is Chloe. A beautiful busty woman with the voice of an angel. It’s very entertaining to see how she starts her new life and just whom she allows to be involved in it! Can’t wait to read the next one!
Talk about revitalizing your life! Amazing what you can do when you put your mind to it.
Chloe has had her divorce finalized and she’s heading out to see her girlfriends. Going to have a bit of fun, relax and recharge.
A wee bit of liquid courage and Chloe’s life takes a turn!
So much fun in this read. I had so many belly laughs!
WOW. I really enjoyed this book from Donna McDonald, her vibrant characters are just what was required for this story of moving on. The banter between the characters is just another plus. I can not wait for the next in the series. This story is well written and makes you want to find out what happens next to the many characters that are introduced in the story. I was taken into the story as only a good authors can.
I was gifted an ARC for an honest review.
When life gives Chloe a second chance…
A story of three friends who at the age of forty find themselves having to start over could really be a drag, but these women choose to lift each other up and focus on the future not the past. Their journey starts with Chloe, and Jasper, and what a crazy ride they have. Jasper is a bit of a stick in the mud, but when Chloe comes to his hotel he can’t resist all of her charms. Chloe has just divorced her husband of five years and is grieving that stability but also trying to revive her old nature that has been suppressed. This tale is heartwarming, hilarious, angsty to the max, and a joyful read for women of all ages.
Loved these two – they both have hurts from bad relationships but this new one, between them? Big! Bold! And sweet and funny and touching… Great evening read for me that I enjoyed. And I hope I find a hotel owner or piano player for myself…
