Nice Read!

I really enjoyed reading this book! The chemistry between Noah and Maxine was off the charts! They couldn't keep their hands off of each other! I loved when Joanna found out some news about Maxine and told her that Noah could never bind himself with someone like Maxine! And this is after being put out of Noah's house after doing something raunchy. I do believe that everyone who reads this book will enjoy it. I definitely recommend it to others!

Family….

Noah hasn’t really known the feeling of being in love. Maxine laid eyes upon Noah and was overwhelmed with butterflies. The feelings she was having had her all beside herself. She wanted Noah and was willing to go to the extreme to have him. Her focus was on her child as well. She was a package deal. Low in behold, Noah loved Maxine’s daughter Chelsea. With that being said, true love prevails

Noah and Maxine

I really enjoyed this book, it wasn’t so heavy on the “Darlings”. I also liked that the story didn’t end in the usual fashion that her stories end: baby born...The End. There was actually more after.
Side note - I don’t know any woman able to have sex 2 weeks or sooner after giving birth, but the women in these books do to please their husbands.🤦🏾‍♀️

Maxine is a single mother and business owner. Noah is a burned-out billionaire looking for some downtime in a small town. Noah and Maxine happen to meet not by coincidence but do hit it off. A relationship starts and all the good stuff happens, I enjoyed the story and progression.

Captivating

WOW this is a enjoyable story. It's a wonderful experience with characters that are full of charisma and romance. There is drama and plenty of sizzling passion. You'll laugh and talk to the characters because it's so emotional with unforgettable personalities.

Best love over 40

This book was too hot and Noah stood is group but he was no match for Maxine's love and fell in love with her and Chelsea anyway and also added baby Christian too.

Noah and Maxine

Maxine was anxious about starting a relationship even though they were not calling it a relationship. Lot of angst and misdirection in this story, but they manage to find love.

Finally Finding The One!

Forever love is what we all want in our lives. There are times when you might have to kiss some frogs along the way. Which makes the forever love that much more special.

Good read

I enjoyed Noah and Maxine's story. It was good to read a romance between an older couple (40ish). They were mature but were not so set in their ways that they were open to change. I would recommend this book.

Great Read

I really loved this story. The highs and lows were all worth it. I wish there was more to read about their lives 5 or 10 years later.
