About this ebook

Dawn Botstein is doing just fine after her divorce, thank you very much.

She’s got her yarn store to run, her house to herself for the first time in her life, and no use for men anymore. That is until the hottie silver fox who walks into her store turns out to be her old high school crush—the guy who rejected her 30 years ago.

No way is she going to lose her head over him this time, no matter how well he wears that salt-and-pepper lumberjack beard. Okay, so he’s the opposite of her ex in every way, and his attention gives her a thrill she thought she’d never feel again. She’s not risking her heart again.

Mike Pilota is having a mid-life crisis.

Only instead of buying a red sports car he can’t afford and dressing like a 25-year-old who’s time-traveled from the 1990s, he quit his job after his second divorce to move closer to his recently widowed mother.

He didn’t expect to run into Dawn again, but as soon as he lays eyes on her he’s utterly smitten. So he sets out to make up for past mistakes and prove he can be the kind of man she deserves.

But is it too late for second chances? Or will these two lonely hearts find a way back to each other?

'Mad About Ewe' is a full-length contemporary romance and can be read as a standalone. Book #1 in the Common Threads series, Seduction in the City World, Penny Reid Book Universe.

Ratings and reviews

I want to start off by saying I'm a big fan of Susannah Nix. I've read a lot of her books. That being said, I was a little unsure of this particular story. I'm 34 so I wasn't sure if I was going to understand or be able to put myself in Dawn's shoes. I usually stay away from the 40+ age but this book was fantastic. The second chance between Dawn and Mike was great. I'm no longer iffy about reading books like this. I highly recommend it!

This was a crisp, enjoyable, and breezy read, I was having so much fun the day just flew by. The storylines were entertaining and engaging and packed with amusing smirk-worthy levity as well as insightful observations and inner musings. I adored this couple together, it only took them thirty years to get it right but they sizzled like rabid teenagers despite the passing of time. I certainly picked a winner to introduce myself to the clever craft of one Ms. Susannah Nix, but I knew I couldn’t go wrong with a Smartypants Romance.

I loved Dawn and Mike’s story!!! It flowed effortlessly and I enjoyed the dual POV. I love Nix’s writing style and her characters are realistic and relatable. It was nice to read about a heroine a little older and a whole lot wiser. I completely related to Dawn from her awkward years in high school to becoming a woman confident in her own skin with very little thought given to what others think even though she remains a people pleaser. It’s a journey hard earned. Remember that one crush that we were obsessed with? Our Jake Ryan if you will? You remember! Mike Pilota is just that. The mythical unicorn of men. Now imagine stumbling into that unicorn in the wild years later! The two reconnect on a chance encounter and a missed opportunity presents itself. Mad About Ewe is such a great read and I’m looking forward to more!
