About this ebook

Her business is wildly successful, but the rest of her life is just wild. 

Sixty may be the new forty, but not for the Honorable Eleanor J. Skyler. She's retiring from the law firm she spent her entire career building. What's wrong with wanting to wear yoga clothes every day and go zip-lining whenever the adventurous mood strikes? Nothing, that's what.

She's got no time for dating and drama. She certainly has no time to deal with her senior law partner, Andrew Carson, who has for reasons she can't fathom, decided she's his perfect woman. To say she's confused in an understatement.

They've known each other for over twenty years. They knew each other's spouses before they died. Why is Andrew suddenly looking at her legs and telling her she's beautiful? He's barely over fifty. He has the tiny sports car. Why can't Andrew chase a twenty-year-old like every other man having a mid-life crisis?

Ratings and reviews

I love these books about more mature couples. Yes, life does exist after 40, YAY!!! Andrew and Elle were so much fun. I loved the witty banter, and there were many laugh out loud moments. All of the couples are fun, and this book let's you revisit some of them. I could understand Elle's hesitation, because situations like that work more in a man's favor then a woman's. I really think it's great that both Elle and Georgia are involved with younger men. I only wish this book was a little longer and we got to spend more time with Andrew and Elle. It seemed like things or I should say, the story, ended somewhat abruptly after Elle made her decision. I also wish there had been more details about the outcome of the case regarding Elle's attacker. A fast paced, romantic, lighthearted, funny story that can be read in one sitting. It started out really good, but it seemed very short to me. I would give this 3.5 stars. I would have gone for 5 if we had gotten to see more of Andrew and Elle reach that 6 month period. I voluntarily read and reviewed the Advanced Reader Copy.

Loved reading another sensational and entertaining story by the phenomenal author, Donna McDonald. Eleanor, a widow in her sixties, is getting ready to retire again from her law firm and her partner in his fifties, a widower, a man she's known for years, handsome and in good shape, Andrew, is going through a mid life crisis and telling her how good her legs look and wanting to taking her out to dinner. Eleanor's family want her to start dating and sign her up for The Perfect Date. Read the highly recommended, wonderfully written, full of romance and humor, and a must read love story.

Being a single woman over the age of 50 myself, there was quite a bit that I could relate to in regards to Eleanor and her return to the dating scene. I found this book to be quite enjoyable and some of the characters are hysterical. This book can be a stand alone, but I found that I would like to go and find some of the other background characters stories so that I can learn more about them. Eleanor feels that she is too old and not attractive enough to be dating anyone let alone the senior partner at her law firm. She just cannot figure out what Andrew sees in her and she finds their difference in ages a set-back. I enjoyed reading about their journey. It is nice to read a book about more mature couples. I received an ARC of this book and I am freely and voluntarily leaving this review. All thoughts and opinions expressed here are strictly my own.
