Forty Candles by A.M. Willard

Release Date: October 3, 2018

Cover Design: Annelle Willard

Synopsis

I’ve always done what was expected of me. I married the man that my family thought I was supposed to. I turned a blind eye when his after work activities weren't really for work. What I couldn’t look past anymore was how lonely I’d become.

All it took was one night to change my life. I filed for a separation. I moved my teenage daughter and me in with my parents. Did I mention that my room should be placed in an 80’s museum? Yes, it’s not changed in decades. Then my life changed again right before my 40th birthday. Just when I thought things were going to get back to normal, in walks Lenny Ward. He’s the man your parents warn you about. You know the type… A body like a God, smart, oh and the sex… It’s like a 10.0 earthquake off the charts type of connection. Even though we have chemistry, I have to protect not only my heart but my daughters.

Goodreads

Review

Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆

I read this with a heavy heart, knowing that this would be the last book ever by A.M. Willard following her sudden passing. It was a book tinged with sadness as we lost a talent much too soon.

I get bored of reading about twenty of thirty somethings as they seem less relevant as I get older. So as I approach forty, it is refreshing to read about characters I can relate to and have a second chance of love.

Jules is in the process of divorcing her pompous ass of a husband, who has forced her and their daughter out of the family home and back in with her parents. Not ideal - especially as Jules' bedroom is stuck in the 1980's. Jules has worked hard on building her design business and potentially could take it to the next level if she wins the contract to work with Lenny's property development company.

Lenny had no intention of working with her before they met but is intrigued by her. She is determined to keep it professional but he is determined to experience her.

Secrets are revealed along the way that connect Lenny and Jules even more. When Jules can't resist anymore the heat and the intensity between them is off the charts. This was a feel good read that made me feel hopeful.
