ABOUT THE BOOK
Life can change in a flash.
Marriage and a baby wasn’t Amy Forsythe’s college plan. After a shotgun marriage glued together by her son, she’s convinced that love isn’t meant for her. Now nearing forty and single for the first time since her senior prom, her friends are pushing her to date. Her teenager isn’t thrilled by the idea and neither is Amy.
Silver fox Thomas Popov isn’t looking for The One. He found her decades ago. And fell apart when she died. At fifty-three with a new job, a new city, and an empty nest, he’s focused on climbing the corporate ladder.
When a softball accident lands Thomas in Amy’s dental chair, sparks fly.
Lightning doesn’t strike twice. But love might.
This time is different.

MY THOUGHTS
There is plenty to love about THIS TIME IS DIFFERENT but
upfront, I have to admit that I have a huge crush on Thomas Popov. He is
everything I love in a romance book hero. He is a romantic soul and is not
ashamed to show the women in his life how he feels. He does not play games. He
is sexy. He is thoughtful and kind. He is a good father and provider. He is not
perfect; he’s just flawed enough to make him seem like an actual person, and
one that I would love to
meet in real life. He has more appeal than any 53-year-old man should!
With my gushing out of the way, let’s focus on the story.
The plot and prose flow effortlessly as we follow the lives of Amy and Thomas. They
both have grown children, Amy is divorced and Thomas is a widower. When they
meet, their attraction is obvious and like any new relationship, there’s the
excitement and giddiness of finding a person you click with. I love reading
about the times they spend together because they take immense joy in being with
one another. Their relationship also compels them to consider and make peace
with the past. Their thoughts are honest and often bittersweet.
There are no big dramatic moments or manufactured angst
here. Mae Wood has delivered a story about appealing characters with real life
issues who meet, fall in love, and give us readers a delightful romance to
indulge in.
