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.

We read more stories of an older man, younger woman but this fine story flips things up. Meet Dawn, she is divorced, on the curvy side but she can bake. Her neighbor is getting their roof done and they tease her that they hired a hot, young man for the job. She laughs it off, she has not been interested in a man since her divorce. She sees Zane and everything changes. Turns out Zane is interested. These two have great chemistry but with a few differences and personal hangups, is a HEA possible? What a great story, I loved the connection between the Dawn and Zane and how they compliment each other. Enjoy!

Dawn is a divorcee of two years who was pushed around by her ex and everyone else. She was emotionally beat down that she could not find her inner voice. One day her therapist challenges her to step outside her cozy isolated island and start taking what she wants. Dawn follows through with her assignment and flirts with the younger carpenter next door. Zane is attracted to Dawn and with his help her inner soul is rejuvenated and she begins to live herself again and emerge. I loved this book. The author portrays Dawn’s retransformation wonderfully and Zane is wonderful for Dawn. Great story with HEA.

This is the kinda of relationship I think we would all like to have! Zane was 30 and was working for himself as a roofer. Dawn was the next door neighbor of one of his clients. Dawn was rebuilding her life after a divorce, older, insecure about herself. She is attracted to Zane. She invites him over for a beer. After the beer there seems to be a mutual attraction. Zane and Dawn were perfect characters in this story. They are likable/lovable. You enjoy their story and you want it to work out. This is a well written story with lots of drama (neighbor, and ex-husband) passion, lust, smoking hot, sizzling chemistry, explosive sexual encounters, wonderful storyline. It was nice to read about the ups and downs of this relationship as it evolved. First time reading this author and I was very impressed. I put this in my library and will read again. I know you will enjoy it!

Heart-warming and steamy
This book is about the quick, hot and heavy romance between Dawn and Zane. She is a strong woman, but has gone through a nasty divorce, leaving her doubting herself. He is spotted on her neighbour’s roof, and she is drawn to his good looks immediately!
She wasn’t particularly looking for a relationship. So, despite the age difference, she’s just hoping for a good time with the hot, younger man. They flirt together, and they’re really quite sweet together. But can they make it work?
I love a good second-chance romance story! They could make a really great couple, and they certainly both deserve a happily ever after! I give this book four and a half stars.

This is a hot romance with a older woman Dawn (37) and younger man Zane (30) who meet when he is roofing her next door neighbors house. They both have a instant attraction for each other but with the past she has suffered through she may not be able to trust another man (her ex husband cheated on her for years). I loved the way they both worked for the relationship they both wanted when others were trying to tear them apart.
This was such a good story that had me sighing through most of it! Dawn is older than Zane and is insecure about the age gap as well as her soft curvy “mom” figure. (I loved the blurb comment that she lifted cupcakes, not weights!) Dawn has been divorced for over 2 years now and is not really interested in a relationship after her self-confidence took a hit from her ex. She still doesn’t trust men after that stellar experience! It doesn’t help the healing that he moors his boat behind her house and brings his bimbos by for a boat ride!
When her neighbors, Heather and Daniel, have a new roof installed, Zane is the sexy roofer. She enjoys watching him, even when she almost drives over her recycle bin in the driveway. When she offers him a beer on a hot day, they find it easy to talk with each other. There is definitely some sort of attraction. When she asked him what type of woman he preferred, he gave her a full answer, but as he walked away, he turned, grinned, and said, “Kind of like you, Dawn” — just in case she had missed all the attributes he listed that fit her so perfectly. Would she give a relationship a try if he asked her? Or was she too insecure to risk her heart?
Battered down by her uncaring exhusband Dawn needs to break free in more ways than one and Zane provides that. Loved the ending especially after the rocky middle they had.

We meet Dawn, our heroine, as she’s trying to get over her mundane life. Her sexy neighbor, Heather, seems to have everything going for her. Her ex-husband drops by to use his yacht for his bimbos. Nothing seems to be wrong, but nothing seems to be right. Heather and her husband are getting a new roof laid and Zane happens to be the sexy roofer. At the beginning, Heather encourages Dawn to get out there and have a “fling”—even with the roofer. However, things aren’t always what they seem with Heather, Zane, and even Dawn. This second chance romance was a lot more than I expected, but in a good way. To be honest, I went in expecting one thing and ended up with something completely different. That’s a really nice change.
It wasn’t a difficult story to read and it was fun and steamy. Communication is always important, but interfering people are still the worst.
Loved this book!! I can’t wait to read more from this author.

I loved this book so much it was very hard to put this down. This was a fantastic OW/YM romance. Dawn and Zane were great together. Dawn had been hurt in her previous marriage and now, after 2 years, she was ready to get back out there. Enter Zane! Zane helps Dawn find her new self even if she does not need a man to prove herself-worth. Lots and lots of steam in this book as well as drama and comedy! I highly recommend this book!

Dawn and Zane’s story was an easy light read with an age-gap and some minor separation period. It had sexy times, the discovery of herself after her divorce and new love.

A divorcee with a teenage son is after some excitement in her life and wants to be her again after her divorce. A hot roofer working next door may give her the excitement she needs although she still has to deal with the ex because his boat is moored at the bottom of the garden. A lovely read from start to finish and I would really love to strangle the ex and her neighbour. Can she find her HEA or will a misunderstanding derail the whole relationship.
