I wasn’t looking for a relationship, I only wanted one afternoon of good sex. Who knew that my silly flirting with the roofer would lead to this?I hadn’t even wanted to look at another man since the divorce, and now I’m sharing a bed with one who’s so beautiful it almost hurts.I’m nearly forty and have a mom bod, curvy and soft. I lift cupcakes instead of weights. And he’s seven years younger, … seven years younger, and a god, chiseled from marble. How did this even happen?
I study Zane’s face in the dim dawn light and wonder if he’ll ever love me, and if so, how long it’ll take. Because I’m already there, with my heart stirring at the mere thought of a future with him.
His eyes crack open a sliver. “Go to sleep, baby,” he whispers.
Yes, Zane, I’m your baby. I’m the woman who will now wait for you to love me.
But please, hurry the fuck up.
Zane is a steamy, love-filled second chance romance from acclaimed erotic romance author Alexis Adaire.

Wow. I had this pegged as a quick instant love story but boy was I wrong. Dawn went through a rough divorce a couple of years ago and decides to come out of her shell by flirting with the roofer next door. She definitely succeeds in coming out of her shell in a major way. The character development in this book is exceptional. The story line and underlying stories are phenomenal. The writing is easy and flows. Everything is logical and realistic. Zane is one hunky man who is full of sweet sexy surprises and handles his disappointing past with grace. Pete and Heather are jerks. I want to be Dawn when I grow up. 5 major shiny stars.

Love, love, loved this story. Dawn is slightly older than Zane (37 to his 30). Dawn is divorced and self conscious about her older, curvy figure. Zane is installing a new roof at the neighbors. Mutual attraction can’t be denied. Fireworks ensue. The relationship that followed had me up and down and praying for the HEA. This story just wouldn’t let me go. I read it at least three times before I could move on. Now on my list of ‘go to’ reads.
Getting her groove back with the sexy roofer next door!!!
The books I have read by Alexis Adaire I have really enjoyed. Zane is not different as it is a wonderful love story with a large amount of very hot and sexy passionate sizzling chemistry. I loved Dawn, the h, as she is a woman who has lost herself but decides to finally try and get her passion and fun back. The best way to do that is to start flirting with the super handsome and sexy man working next door. It does not hurt that he is also younger but is more mature than a lot of men older than him. He is also full of surprises and what was supposed to be just a bit of “getting her groove back” turns out to be finding a whole new future.
This book is well written with a captivating story-line and wonderful characters. Zane is an enjoyable book that I would RECOMMEND to other readers.
Dawn is a broken woman who meets the roofer who is doing work next door for her neighbors. He takes one look at her and he’s smitten. When these two get together it’s magic, but she has been hurt by her cheating ex, she is gun shy to take him seriously. I enjoyed this relatable story line and interesting characters.

What started out as just an afternoon of fun turns into something more. Dawn is thirty seven and Zane is thirty but they are perfect for each other. This is an older woman/younger man love story and I rooted for this couple to get their HEA.
Dawn’s ex-husband did a number on her when he cheated on her. So she’s gun shy about getting involved with another man. However when she sees the sexy stranger working on her neighbors roof she can’t take het eyes off of him. Zane is drawn to the gorgeous woman next door to where he’s working. When he sees her out by the pool its all he can do not to go to her. When he finally goes to her door he uses an excuse of offering his services which they both know why he came over. Soon things heat up between them and they can’t keep their hands off of each other. Her neighbor isn’t too happy when she learns that Zane chose Dawn over her and makes it known to Dawn. Will Dawn’s insecurities cost her Zane? Can they get rid of her ex and the nosey neighbor?
This is an amazing story once I started it I couldn’t put it down. The chemistry between them is blazing hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

What a fun and enjoyable book! I really enjoyed this well written read from Alexis Adaire. It was both fun and entertaining. Definitely hot and steamy too. Older women gets a slightly younger man in this second chance at love story.
Insta-love certified with an alpha male, a healing yet getting-stronger-by-the-day heroine, and a love affair that will leave everyone begging for more.
Great storyline with a few plot twists to keep it from being like all the others.
This book comes with a HEA thats sugary sweet, and enough steamy scenes to melt your E-reader. Dive right in, but please leave your panties at the door.

Zane is a roofer. He’s very attractive. Full beard. And is at her neighbors house fixing the roof for the garage. Dawn can see him. She’s been thinking of him since her neighbor made very aware that there was a sexy roofer on her property. There are villains in this story. Those who are definitely jealous of Don’s new awakening and those who have always been pessimistic even after the divorce. Even though Don is roughly 7 or eight years older than Zane is hard to believe that her “friends “think that he is out to swindle her instead of just want to fling. It’s her choice it’s her life. That is what is bothering everyone. Dawn is becoming this new person. She’s not being manipulated anymore. Zane has unbeknownst shown her how to reinvent herself with multiple techniques steamy episodes included. Light how they developed a friendship. No cliffhanger. Just a slightly different twist to finding a second chance love.

Since her divorce from her cheating ex two years ago Dawn has questioned her ability to attract a man and keep him interested especially the younger sexy roofer that her neighbors have hired.
Zane has seen her watching him and he has been watching her in return. He is attracted to her womanly curves that aren’t manufactured and age is just a number.
Will Zane be able to convince her that she is sexy or will her doubts that she is enough destroy their relationship before it even begins?
I enjoyed this so much. I love that it’s a divorced woman who happens to be older and then she meets Zane. It’s nerve wracking being older and seeing this younger, good-looking man. He is interested though and he helps her see herself in a different light. This is hot and heavy and love Zane!
