Charlie Harrington has always been the good one.Loyal to his town as the mayor. Loyal to his family as the youngest son.So there comes a time when every good man needs to be a little bad.
You know those sexy, slow burning lusty love stories? The anticipation builds with all those long lingering looks and you just can’t wait for them to get it on like donkey kong? Well this is not one of those stories. I am pleased to announce that there is no hesitation to get down and dirty when it comes to this couple, spontaneous uncontrollable desire is the dominant force in this sexy tale.
Now that I have your attention, let’s talk about everything else going on in this addictive read.
If you have read other stories in the Silver Foxes of Blue Ridge series you may remember meeting Charlie, the town Mayor. The very good looking, charming single father of Lucy and all round good guy. He is completely lost for words when he walks into his bedroom and finds a woman standing there with his grandmother’s ring on her ring finger. Definitely a WTF moment that ends in them parting ways with no police involved.
Janessa and her daughter have moved in with her parents while she figures out what to do next after her marriage imploded. Her husband is a well known sport celebrity that brings unwanted publicity into their life so laying low for a while is just what she needs. Her parents live on the Mayor’s compound and both work for him. This is how she ended up in his bedroom but doesn’t explain why she had the desire to try on that ring… oops!
Charlie is shocked to see Janessa at work the next day when she applies for a job for the local council, why is she suddenly appearing everywhere? Just when he thought they’d had enough close encounters for now, he sees her again on his property watching him work out. He doesn’t know what is going on but he feels completely drawn to this gorgeous girl and the night ends in a way neither of them could have expected.
‘We’re total strangers. I know nothing about him, yet this… this feels like I’ve been missing him my entire life.’
Before too long Janessa’s daughter, Vega, and young Lucy are thick as thieves which means Charlie and Nessa don’t just see each other at work every day but also during their down time at home. The impulsive desire between them is only growing and it seems they are both powerless at resisting something that feels so good. It feels exciting and illicit – it makes them feel alive after years of feeling so alone.
‘But I like being with you. You… you make me feel alive.’ Her breath catches, and then she bites the corner of her lip. ‘Please don’t do that,’ I groan, closing my eyes.’
The chemistry between Charlie and Nessa is ridiculously smoking hot and I ate up every last morsel. This was such a fun and schmexy read. There are a few cameos from characters who may be familiar to you if you’ve read other books in the series and the anticipation for James’ story is at an all time high.

I have enjoyed this series very much, romance for my age group, what’s not to love. Silver Mayor was by far my favourite.
Charlie is a single dad and the town mayor. Janessa is the new single mother in town who happen to get a job in his office. Things are about to get complicated
I have loved everything about this story. The chemistry is so hot. Their attraction was like fire works on a Fourth of July. On the surface, Charlie sounds like an uptight business man but Janessa brings out he bad boy out of him. An amazing storyline that sucked me in so deep that even after I was done reading, I wanted more. Beautifully executed to make love all these characters that were perfectly created. Bottomline this is a must read.
Rest assured, it can be safely read as a standalone. Told in a dual POV with an HEA. I strongly recommend this story.

I can’t get enough of all the sexy silver foxes from L.B. Dunbar! I can’t wait for the next one!

Charlie and Janessa start off hot and steamy. There a was no slow burn for them, the attraction was instant. Charle meets Janessa in an unconventional way but soon they are thrown together many times and each time they are alone the sexiness doesn’t stop. They are both single parents and the love they have for their daughters shines bright. As they learn about each others past they will learn to lean on each other. Both of them have had terrible relationships in the past and have been burned. As they learn to trust and love it is a great romance.
I love that LB Dunbar writes Sexy Silver Foxes. These stories are in my age bracket and it is great to see two mature adults find happiness again.

I received an Advance copy of this from Wildfire Marketing on behalf of the author.
This author has officially cemented herself as my Queen of older person romance. Her stories are so relatable as someone who’s nearly in that over 40 age range and they are as sweet as they are steamy.
This is the first book I’ve read in this series but I need more. And I still want James’ story really bad.
So if you’re looking for a romance with more mature characters, life and family drama but somewhat light on the overall angst, but heavy on the steam? Then get acquainted with the Silver Foxes of Blue Ridge.

Ohhhh Charlie, what have you got hiding there behind those suits (oh and take your mind out of the gutter, I’m not really talking about THAT…exactly lol). Mr. Goody Two Shoes is more than meets the eye, and every last bit of it was some wonderful surprises indeed. We finally hear more about who he is, what his past was like, what he wants to achieve in life. We certainly learn more about our missing brother. Janessa is an absolute breath of fresh air in the story. She is different than most in the town in more ways than one and she only wants to protect her daughter. Much happens to put these two at odds with each other, some brought tears, some brought anger, some brought “what the heck were you thinking” but in the end, you have a story of two single parents who are not in their twenties or thirties, trying to move on and forward with their lives despite the many roadblocks. Another great Silver Fox story!

5 Gold stars for this Silver Mayor.
Silver Mayor is the third book in the wonderfully sexy ‘Silver Foxes of Blue Ridge’ and features Charlie Harrington as the mayor of the small town. He’s a single father to boot and struggles to find time for his ten-year-old daughter due to his mayoral duties. He’s not looking for love or even a relationship when he finds Jan Cruz in his bedroom, but after that first encounter, he can’t get the fiery spirited woman out of his head.
Jan has enough on her plate trying to restart her life and find a job, she doesn’t need complications like Charlie burning down her inhibition and chasing her feelings out into the open. But, when their daughters become friends it’s hard to ignore the one you dream about at night.
Their chemistry and attraction were instantaneous, although they both try to deny it.
But, with their kids and others working together, they find themselves becoming attached. It’s not an easy road to their HEA but even the bumpiest of rides have to end sometime.
This was another fabulous over 40’s story filled with emotion, from heartbreak to happiness, complete with love and laughter along the way.
Only one more brother to go after this. Bring on the bad boy biker!!!

Returning to Blue Ridge was therapeutic. I’ve loved all the Harrington brother books, and Mati’s too. They are a very special family who always make me treasure small towns and everything they have to offer. Silver Mayor was sweet and seeing Charlie finally get the love and the life he deserves warmed my heart. He is also a bad boy and very inventive when it comes to claiming what he wants. His creativity should warm you up, too.
Charlie Harrington has had it rough. He’s the baby of the family with 3 older brothers and a sister to give him all the grief. When Janessa Cruz comes into his life, sparks ignite, chemistry is alive, and resistance is impossible. When two souls who are meant to be together finally meet, nothing can stand in the way.
Silver Mayor is a second-chance romance for both Charlie and Janessa. They are both passionate and driven to be spontaneous and reckless in love. There are so many reasons for them to stay apart, yet neither one is able to keep their hands to themselves. With two impressionable young girls in the mix, secrecy and creativity is of the utmost importance. And, getting caught with your hand in the proverbial fire makes things that much more exciting.
I loved this couple together. They are both responsible adults, raising their own daughters, who seem to have found their match, but their public personas are under scrutiny. Discretion and secrecy lead to sexy shenanigans and not so discrete secrets. After all, it is hard to hide your feelings when your eyes sparkle and your pants tent from proximity alone.
Silver Mayor is a great read. I smiled, I laughed, I swooned, and I definitely agreed with Janessa that men can be dumb. We have to give them a full at-bat to get it right.

Charlie is finally getting his story. We have seen him throughout the series and know that he is a dotting father to Lucy. Doing everything in his power to make sure the has love and family presence in her life. He is good at this job as a lawyer and the Mayor of the town but there has been very little personal about him thus far. That is because there isn’t much to tell. After the scandal that was his ex-wife, he has kept himself low profile. Can you blame him. But when someone new arrives in town, he has some trouble keep his focus.
Janessa is here with her daughter Vega looking for a fresh start. One that is not media focused. She has been there done that. She knows that this change is not only hard for her but her little girl, so she is fighting with all that she has to make a new life. Finding a great job in with the town. Spending quality time with her parents that she has missed so much. And….lusting after the Mayor.
Will their past and ex’s keep them apart or help to draw them closer? Could this new start mean finding the right man?
The chemistry these characters share is sizzling and incontrollable. I did miss a little of the intimate nature of the other books with this one. But the inclusion of these two awesome 10 yr olds with a plan of their own, sure did keep it interesting. Very much looking forward to James’ book.

A sweet single parent romance. I fell in love with this book. It was beautiful and honest. Being a single parent must have it’s struggles and bringing someone new into a childs life can make anyone cautious. I love how these two come together. The secondary characters also play a great part in this book. I definitely recommend adding this to your TBR.

Charlie is the mayor of his small town and is a single dad. Janessa is a single mom in hiding and is new in town, and the chemistry between her and Charlie is explosive, despite them not exactly getting off on the right foot when they first meet. This is a beautifully written humorous story which is entertaining and riveting throughout. I highly recommend this gifted authors’ work for all readers, and I cannot wait to read more from her.

This is the Harrington I have been waiting for! Charlie is the Mayor and the one who is straight laced in the family. He has his daughter to worry about and the town. In this one, Janessa knocks him on his butt. Both characters have a lot to deal with in this book, mostly with their crazy exes and all their issues. The biggest issue is how they truly feel about each other. Yes there’s hot crazy sex between them but it comes down more then that. Janessa has to realize if image is more important then losing her true love. Oh and whether or not to live in Blue Ridge. Charlie has some decisions to make as well. These two have a strong connection in and out of the bedroom. I love the banter between them and how they challenge each other. Janessa loves to push his buttons and it makes for some fun times in this book. I will say the girls make the book so much better. I love Charlie and Janessa but seeing them interact with each other kids made it so much better. There’s a whole lot of love in this book and in the town of Blue Ridge. Very good book with characters you will love!!!

Both Charlie and Janessa had had some bad luck with picking with whom they want to spent their life together. Both were hurt by their exes, which is exactly why they didn’t see each other coming.
This story was funny, easy to read and despite having to overcome some obstacles it was still low drama. It was about seeking partnership and trust. Both had to learn to trust again and at the end trust and love was all that mattered.
This was a great story about second chance at love. Perfect for a summer read while drinking a glass of wine.

5 Star Review Silver Mayor (The Silver Foxes of Blue Ridge #3) by L.B. Dunbar
I have been looking forward to Charlie Harrington’s book and I loved it. In fact this may well be my favourite to date. I have only read a few books by L.B. Dunbar and I have fallen in love with her style of writing. The fact that she writes “Silver Fox” stories for the over 40’s is most definitely a win for me, since I am well over that age bracket.
I love single parent romances and this one made my week as both the hero and heroine are single parents. Janessa (Nessa) Cruz was the perfect partner for Charlie; they made a fabulous couple, I loved them both individually and particularly together.
With Charlie’s daughter, Lucy and Nessa’s daughter Vega becoming fast friends and joining forces, not only will they have to see each other at work but out of hours too. Both Charlie and Nessa have baggage and at times I was brought to tears, however the chemistry that sizzles between them was impossible to ignore.
This story grabs you from the first chapter and will not let you go until the end. Silver Mayor is a well written, strong, second chance at love story with characters that are easy to relate to and whose story you will quickly become invested in.
Silver Mayor is a totally heart warming, smoking hot story that had me smiling throughout. It is a great addition to The Silver Foxes of Blue Ridge. One click this little gem, I don’t think you will be disappointed.

L.B. Dunbar is a master when it comes to her Silver Foxes!! We have been introduced to Giant and Billy Harrington. Charlie is their younger brother, is a single father and the Mayor of Blue Ridge. He has a reputation to uphold and is totally thrown off guard when he meets Janessa. Janessa is also a single mother who is just getting out of a very public marriage and wants to hide out in a town where no one knows of her past or the connection that brought her here. Sparks fly between these two but they are both hesitant to commit to a relationship. Vega, Janessa’s daughter, and Lucy, Charlie’s daughter, become best friends and are there to support and push their parents in the right direction. This book is written from the heart. It is full of love and heartache, family and friends, and a great cast of supporting characters. There are so many heartfelt moments that had me tearing up. I highly recommend the Silver Foxes of Blue Ridge. You will not be disappointed. I am so looking forward to James’ story where I hope we will see more of Cora and Justice!!
You know those sexy, slow burning lusty love stories? The anticipation builds with all those long lingering looks and you just can’t wait for them to get it on like donkey kong? Well this is not one of those stories. I am pleased to announce that there is no hesitation to get down and dirty when it comes to this couple, spontaneous uncontrollable desire is the dominant force in this sexy tale.
Now that I have your attention, let’s talk about everything else going on in this addictive read.
If you have read other stories in the Silver Foxes of Blue Ridge series you may remember meeting Charlie, the town Mayor. The very good looking, charming single father of Lucy and all round good guy. He is completely lost for words when he walks into his bedroom and finds a woman standing there with his grandmother’s ring on her ring finger. Definitely a WTF moment that ends in them parting ways with no police involved.
Janessa and her daughter have moved in with her parents while she figures out what to do next after her marriage imploded. Her husband is a well known sport celebrity that brings unwanted publicity into their life so laying low for a while is just what she needs. Her parents live on the Mayor’s compound and both work for him. This is how she ended up in his bedroom but doesn’t explain why she had the desire to try on that ring… oops!
Charlie is shocked to see Janessa at work the next day when she applies for a job for the local council, why is she suddenly appearing everywhere? Just when he thought they’d had enough close encounters for now, he sees her again on his property watching him work out. He doesn’t know what is going on but he feels completely drawn to this gorgeous girl and the night ends in a way neither of them could have expected.
‘We’re total strangers. I know nothing about him, yet this… this feels like I’ve been missing him my entire life.’
Before too long Janessa’s daughter, Vega, and young Lucy are thick as thieves which means Charlie and Nessa don’t just see each other at work every day but also during their down time at home. The impulsive desire between them is only growing and it seems they are both powerless at resisting something that feels so good.

Another sexy silver fox to swoon over! Charlie Harrington is the latest sexy Harrington brother and Janessa Cruz is new to town trying to make a new start.

We find that out when he meets Janessa Cruz a single mum to her 10 year old daughter Vega newly divorced and has come to blue ridge to be with her family, little does she know that Charlie is her parents boss.

The chemistry between Charlie and Janessa is something they can’t ignore and they don’t they are perfect for each other.
But will the two people they left behind let them have that, there are some heartbreaking moments along the way that has you rooting for them both.
Plus Charlies family stand by him every step of the way even James can’t wait for his story to be told.
Especially Lucy & Vega who think they belong together and will they live HEA.

Another great Silver Fox story!
5 Gold stars for this Silver Mayor.
Silver Mayor is the third book in the wonderfully sexy ‘Silver Foxes of Blue Ridge’ and features Charlie Harrington as the mayor of the small town. He’s a single father to boot and struggles to find time for his ten-year-old daughter due to his mayoral duties. He’s not looking for love or even a relationship when he finds Jan Cruz in his bedroom, but after that first encounter, he can’t get the fiery spirited woman out of his head.
Jan has enough on her plate trying to restart her life and find a job, she doesn’t need complications like Charlie burning down her inhibition and chasing her feelings out into the open. But, when their daughters become friends it’s hard to ignore the one you dream about at night.
Their chemistry and attraction were instantaneous, although they both try to deny it.
But, with their kids and others working together, they find themselves becoming attached. It’s not an easy road to their HEA but even the bumpiest of rides have to end sometime.
This was another fabulous over 40’s story filled with emotion, from heartbreak to happiness, complete with love and laughter along the way.
Only one more brother to go after this. Bring on the bad boy biker!!!
Returning to Blue Ridge was therapeutic. I’ve loved all the Harrington brother books, and Mati’s too. They are a very special family who always make me treasure small towns and everything they have to offer. Silver Mayor was sweet and seeing Charlie finally get the love and the life he deserves warmed my heart. He is also a bad boy and very inventive when it comes to claiming what he wants. His creativity should warm you up, too.
Charlie Harrington has had it rough. He’s the baby of the family with 3 older brothers and a sister to give him all the grief. When Janessa Cruz comes into his life, sparks ignite, chemistry is alive, and resistance is impossible. When two souls who are meant to be together finally meet, nothing can stand in the way.
Silver Mayor is a second-chance romance for both Charlie and Janessa. They are both passionate and driven to be spontaneous and reckless in love. There are so many reasons for them to stay apart, yet neither one is able to keep their hands to themselves. With two impressionable young girls in the mix, secrecy and creativity is of the utmost importance. And, getting caught with your hand in the proverbial fire makes things that much more exciting.
I loved this couple together. They are both responsible adults, raising their own daughters, who seem to have found their match, but their public personas are under scrutiny. Discretion and secrecy lead to sexy shenanigans and not so discrete secrets. After all, it is hard to hide your feelings when your eyes sparkle and your pants tent from proximity alone.
Silver Mayor is a great read. I smiled, I laughed, I swooned, and I definitely agreed with Janessa that men can be dumb. We have to give them a full at-bat to get it right.
Charlie is finally getting his story. We have seen him throughout the series and know that he is a dotting father to Lucy. Doing everything in his power to make sure the has love and family presence in her life. He is good at this job as a lawyer and the Mayor of the town but there has been very little personal about him thus far. That is because there isn’t much to tell. After the scandal that was his ex-wife, he has kept himself low profile. Can you blame him. But when someone new arrives in town, he has some trouble keep his focus.
Janessa is here with her daughter Vega looking for a fresh start. One that is not media focused. She has been there done that. She knows that this change is not only hard for her but her little girl, so she is fighting with all that she has to make a new life. Finding a great job in with the town. Spending quality time with her parents that she has missed so much. And….lusting after the Mayor.
Will their past and ex’s keep them apart or help to draw them closer? Could this new start mean finding the right man?
The chemistry these characters share is sizzling and incontrollable. I did miss a little of the intimate nature of the other books with this one. But the inclusion of these two awesome 10 yr olds with a plan of their own, sure did keep it interesting. Very much looking forward to James’ book.

A sweet single parent romance. I fell in love with this book. It was beautiful and honest. Being a single parent must have it’s struggles and bringing someone new into a childs life can make anyone cautious. I love how these two come together. The secondary characters also play a great part in this book. I definitely recommend adding this to your TBR.
The Silver Foxes of Blue Ridge are back with Charlie Harrington’s story. He is a single dad and the mayor of Blue Ridge so trying to date anyone always puts him in the spotlight. Janessa Cruz is new to Blue Ridge and also a single parent looking for a new job. These two are instantly attracted to each other and have this insane chemistry that keeps them coming back to each other. And the best thing about these two are that they are over 40, my favorite type of story to read. But there are several outside forces that are trying their best to keep Charlie and Janessa from being together. This is just a feel good love story between two people that deserve to have their happily ever after! Plus we get to see the rest of the Harringtons that we have come to love from their previous books.
Charlie is the mayor of his small town and is a single dad. Janessa is a single mom in hiding and is new in town, and the chemistry between her and Charlie is explosive, despite them not exactly getting off on the right foot when they first meet. This is a beautifully written humorous story which is entertaining and riveting throughout. I highly recommend this gifted authors’ work for all readers, and I cannot wait to read more from her.
This is the Harrington I have been waiting for! Charlie is the Mayor and the one who is straight laced in the family. He has his daughter to worry about and the town. In this one, Janessa knocks him on his butt. Both characters have a lot to deal with in this book, mostly with their crazy exes and all their issues. The biggest issue is how they truly feel about each other. Yes there’s hot crazy sex between them but it comes down more then that. Janessa has to realize if image is more important then losing her true love. Oh and whether or not to live in Blue Ridge. Charlie has some decisions to make as well. These two have a strong connection in and out of the bedroom. I love the banter between them and how they challenge each other. Janessa loves to push his buttons and it makes for some fun times in this book. I will say the girls make the book so much better. I love Charlie and Janessa but seeing them interact with each other kids made it so much better. There’s a whole lot of love in this book and in the town of Blue Ridge. Very good book with characters you will love!!!
Both Charlie and Janessa had had some bad luck with picking with whom they want to spent their life together. Both were hurt by their exes, which is exactly why they didn’t see each other coming.
This story was funny, easy to read and despite having to overcome some obstacles it was still low drama. It was about seeking partnership and trust. Both had to learn to trust again and at the end trust and love was all that mattered.
This was a great story about second chance at love. Perfect for a summer read while drinking a glass of wine.

5 Star Review Silver Mayor (The Silver Foxes of Blue Ridge #3) by L.B. Dunbar
I have been looking forward to Charlie Harrington’s book and I loved it. In fact this may well be my favourite to date. I have only read a few books by L.B. Dunbar and I have fallen in love with her style of writing. The fact that she writes “Silver Fox” stories for the over 40’s is most definitely a win for me, since I am well over that age bracket.
I love single parent romances and this one made my week as both the hero and heroine are single parents. Janessa (Nessa) Cruz was the perfect partner for Charlie; they made a fabulous couple, I loved them both individually and particularly together.
With Charlie’s daughter, Lucy and Nessa’s daughter Vega becoming fast friends and joining forces, not only will they have to see each other at work but out of hours too. Both Charlie and Nessa have baggage and at times I was brought to tears, however the chemistry that sizzles between them was impossible to ignore.
This story grabs you from the first chapter and will not let you go until the end. Silver Mayor is a well written, strong, second chance at love story with characters that are easy to relate to and whose story you will quickly become invested in.
Silver Mayor is a totally heart warming, smoking hot story that had me smiling throughout. It is a great addition to The Silver Foxes of Blue Ridge. One click this little gem, I don’t think you will be disappointed.
L.B. Dunbar is a master when it comes to her Silver Foxes!! We have been introduced to Giant and Billy Harrington. Charlie is their younger brother, is a single father and the Mayor of Blue Ridge. He has a reputation to uphold and is totally thrown off guard when he meets Janessa. Janessa is also a single mother who is just getting out of a very public marriage and wants to hide out in a town where no one knows of her past or the connection that brought her here. Sparks fly between these two but they are both hesitant to commit to a relationship. Vega, Janessa’s daughter, and Lucy, Charlie’s daughter, become best friends and are there to support and push their parents in the right direction. This book is written from the heart. It is full of love and heartache, family and friends, and a great cast of supporting characters. There are so many heartfelt moments that had me tearing up. I highly recommend the Silver Foxes of Blue Ridge. You will not be disappointed. I am so looking forward to James’ story where I hope we will see more of Cora and Justice!!
