Mid-Life Love by Whitney Gracia Williams

 

Blurb:

If you'd asked me what love was two years ago, I probably would've said, 'It's this amazing feeling that obsesses and possesses you; it's what me and my husband currently have.' If you ask me that same question today, I'll say, 'Please get the hell out of my face.’

Claire Gracen's life is picture perfect. Her career as a marketing director is on the brink of being legendary, and her marriage to her high school sweetheart has never been stronger. No, wait. It has. It used to be amazing and fulfilling, but one day Claire realizes that she's been living a lie and her best friend and husband have committed the ultimate betrayal.

Broken and depressed, Claire is in need of something new—new city, new job, new friends.

When she happens to attract the interest of the sexiest man she's ever met, a man significantly younger than her, she immediately turns him down—only to later discover that this man is Jonathan Statham, self-made billionaire and CEO of Statham Industries. Her boss.

Jonathan Statham is unlike any man she's met before. He's used to getting whatever he wants—whenever he wants, and he isn't about to take no for an answer.

Sexy, unpredictable, and charmingly clever, Mid Life Love is a story that will captivate you, entertain you, and force you to fall deeply in love with the characters.

Angie J's review:

I received this   book from the author for an honest review.

So this book is about 40 year old Claire being chased and seduced by Playboy, mega rich hottie Jonathan.  He sees her and is captivated by her.  He tries to find her but ends runs into a dead end.  Then he strolls in to a company meeting to find her!!  He will do anything to go out with her. She agrees but stands him up.  He will not take no for an answer.  He "agrees" to a friends with benefits type of relationship for a while.  Claire will not take this relationship public because of their age gap.  She keeps saying that one day he will wake up and figure out that she is wrong for him.  Jonathan laughs her off and continues to say she is the one for him.    Claire time and time again through this book ANNOYED me.  She was so rude and only cared about herself but never really thinks about Jonathan's feelings.  He is always putting her first and always lets her take the lead on their relationship.  I know that Jonathan wants to be with Claire, that is very obvious but Claire and her flipping back and forth made me mental. 

So right about the time I am screaming at Claire we find out what has been going on behind the scenes and I will say I was like "OH SHIT!!!!"  Then I felt bad for not liking her.  I felt really bad seeing her so sad and Jonathan so sad as well.  When he figures out what happens I was sad he didn't run to her BUT I understood to an extent.  I did get a bit upset with Claire AGAIN in the book when Jonathan asks her to choose and she doesn't....but when she redeems herself at the end I was much happier about the novel.
