If you ask me if Jonathan Statham makes me happy, I’ll say ‘Absolutely. He’s the man of my dreams and I can’t wait to marry him.’ If you ask me why my ex-husband Ryan is currently one inch away from me—staring into my eyes and pressing his hand against my cheek, I’ll say, ‘I have no fucking idea…’
Claire Gracen finally has the life she’s always wanted: A career she loves, a man who’s willing to do any and everything for her, and friends that show her the true meaning of the word ‘friendship.’
As she and Jonathan prepare to make the ultimate commitment to one another and plan the wedding of her dreams, she quickly realizes that the hurtful past she left behind in Pittsburgh is a lot closer than she thought.
Sexy, unpredictable, and as charmingly clever as ‘Mid Life Love,’ ‘At Last’ will captivate you from the first page and never let you go.
PEPPER & MICHELLE’S JOINT REVIEW
Mid Life Love – At Last is the sequel to Mid Life Love. Do not read if you have not read book 1. And if you have not read book 1, why not?? It’s amazing. Read our review of MID LIFE LOVE - HERE and then buy it and buy this one.
PEPPER: Ok, so Mid Life Love - At Last
SO
GOOD
I have to say I was worried a little about this book. And not because I didn’t have a total boner over the 1st one, but because I wasn’t sure how it was going to be as good without the angst of them getting together.
You know?
But holy shit!
I couldn’t put it down.
MICHELLE: I. KNOW. In a sea of mediocre books that I had to read over the last few days, Mid Life Love At Last or MLLAL, was a beacon of hope and light. Seriously, I had a lady boner the entire time.
PEPPER: It’s like how MCarey is in this gif
MICHELLE: Yes. It was that fabulous.
I mean honestly- as much as I loved Jonathan and always want more of him, I was sort of worried about this book. Things were good for them at the end of book 1. Why rock the boat? I wasn’t sure I wanted to deal with more angst.
But Whitney G. Williams proved she is a goddess and made it totally amazing and wonderful and perfect. (P.S. We need to get her a nickname STAT.)
PEPPER: She was previously given WGW as a nickname, but I like WhitG…
MICHELLE: WhitG!!
PEPPER: Perf.
So back to the book…
I can’t say enough good things. I want to go back and read it again.
and OH
MY.
GOD.
the next book???
WhitG - can you get on that tomorrow or yesterday please??
MICHELLE: OMG THE NEXT BOOK. GIVE IT TO ME RIGHT NOW.
PEPPER: NOW!
MICHELLE: Seriously WhitG. You turn us into insane people. Like we aren’t even focused. Pepper- focus.
MLLAL.
PEPPER: Sorry.
Focused.
MICHELLE: So let’s talk about the one thing we knew we could really count on.
Amazing sex.
PEPPER: Yes
MICHELLE: Like. I can’t even. The sex is just so good in this book.
PEPPER:
Beyond.
MICHELLE: Jonathan makes public sex seem like the most normal thing to do ever. And I want to do it with him.
PEPPER: I was wondering how she was going to top the sex in MLL - but um the catering table??
MICHELLE: I know.
PEPPER: I know, he’s just like, you have given me no choice Claire. And bam. Sex. Very public sex.
HOT!
MICHELLE: I feel like I don’t ask for much. But can I just have a man who demands to have sex with me a million times a day, pretty much anywhere. Like. Anywhere.
PEPPER: It’s so crazy though, cause you are like, OMG, like this would never happen in real life. But you don’t even care. I can’t believe how good WhitG is at making us think this happens all the time.
MICHELLE: I know. WhitG- you either have the best sex life ever and I hate you so so much but want to be you or you are just really creative. Like why would Claire ever wear underwear? Ever?
PEPPER: She likes to get it ripped off…
OK, so the sex is hot.
And it made me wasn’t to do this.
Or this:
But anyways…
I also want to talk about how I want Claire and Jonathan as best friends in my real life.
They make everything so easy.
I love them.
MICHELLE: I mean I do love them as a couple. They are seriously one of my favorite couples ever. But I wouldn’t say they make everything easy. These two know drama. In book 1 it was all Claire’s fault and she made me mad. But in book 2 when everything gets all cray because of her douche ex-husband (who we will talk about in a sec.) it was like Jonathan lost his ever loving mind.
PEPPER: Ok, yes you are right about the easy comment. I guess I just meant, when they are together, they like silence and I think that is easy.
MICHELLE: Yes! As a couple- when they are working as a couple- they are the best. And I love them.
PEPPER: But they are definitely fireballs as well. They argue and flirt and communicate like best friends and I just love their relationship.
P.S. I loved it when Jonathan lost his mind. Like could he get more amazing? I mean he was being a dick, but he was heartbroken and that was sweet in a way.
MICHELLE: Exactly. I was mad that he was a dick but it showed how much he loves Claire.
And don’t worry readers, we aren’t giving away major details here- you knew there had to be angst or else this book would have no point. So speaking of angst- we knew that Claire’s ex and bitch ass ex-best friend were going to reappear. And WhitG warned me after our review of MLL that I would HATE him so damn much. And she was so right.
PEPPER: ASSHOLES!
MICHELLE: Now this we cannot spoil for you but here is what I will say.
1) He is the biggest douchebag to ever douche in the history of douches. 2) She is a moron and I have nothing good to say about her. 3) Claire handled them both like a motherhuggin boss.
PEPPER: YES!! All of it. I have to say, I was worried the entire book about how Claire was going to react. But she did not disappoint. She was awesome.
MICHELLE: I know. I felt the same way. She was so unsure of herself sometimes in book 1 but in MLLAL she is confident and she knows she has a good man and she doesn’t give a shit about anything.
PEPPER: I want to make out with her. She kicked ass in this book. Such a positive turn for her.
And Jonathan.
Could he get more perfect?
This is me in regard to all things Jonathan Carter Statham:
Like, I just can’t - I’m done…
MICHELLE: I know. He is top book boyfriend material. My 1 and 2 spots are reserved but I think he is #3 for me.
Seriously- we cannot say enough good stuff about this book. Everything about it is perfect- the characters, secondary characters, plot, sex, angst. All of it. WhitG- you rock.
Ok- so before we officially leave you so you can start reading here is a little tip for you. When you are done with this book and have fallen in love with it as we did, head to WhitG’s blog for some awesome extras including a scene from after MLLAL ends!
AUTHOR INTERVIEW
1) Jonathan is one of the hottest book boyfriends ever. Like seriously top 5. Who or what inspired you to write this character?
Well, I LOVE alpha heroes-The Christian Grey, Gideon Cross, Jesse Ward, & Damien Stark types BUT I have a really soft spot for the beta heroes (the nice guys who just want to shower you with affection and are naturally romantic) so i wanted to make him a good mix of the two. Don’t get me wrong, I love the “cray cray” that the alpha heroes bring, but I wanted to make Jonathan different.
2) Let’s talk about sex. Claire and Jonathan have some of the hottest sex. Ever. And so much of it is in public. Please share with us how you created some of those scenes and PLEASE tell us they came from real life inspiration.
Honestly? I told myself that this time, for this book, there are no rules or formulas I have to follow so “whenever” sex was possible….It was going to happen: Room full of coworkers? Sure! Why not? In the restaurant at the bathroom? Eff it, let’s do it! LOL Unfortunately, none of these came from real life experience…my mind is just that dirty sometimes *hangs head in shame*
3) One thing we loved were the ridiculous marketing ideas and the whole new age, touchy feeling office vibe. It was all hilarious and details like that really made this book stand out. How did you come up with that stuff and will we see more of it n At Last?
Thank you! 
Well, this actually did come from real-life experience-I’m one of the muses for Claire’s rants about clueless employees with crazy ideas-Yeah, I’m admitting that…LOL. Ummm, At Last is a bit different since it’s a continuation story-We’re going to have asides from Jonathan as opposed to Claire.
4) So we see in the synopsis that her douche of an ex is back. Without giving anything away- can you give us a hint as to why the hell he’s anywhere near Claire?
You know, Ryan really is a nice guy and he’s always loved Claire, and I think readers will sympathize-Okay scratch that-he’s terrible. I don’t think I can hint at anything without giving it away! I can email you spoilers though!
5) Do you have any actors in mind for casting of the two main characters?
Originally I casted Angelina Jolie as Claire and Matt Bomer as Jonathan, but I’m starting to lean towards Sandra Bullock and Josh Kloss…
6) Was there any music that inspired you while writing?
Justin Timberlake’s 20/20 Experience. On repeat.
7) And finally, what can we look forward to seeing from you in the future?
Two sexy and angst filled books:Twisted Love & Wasted Love, and the last romantic comedy book in the Jilted Bride Series: Final Take! Oh and a sci-fi book about-No, I’m kidding….LOL

BOOK #1 - MID LIFE LOVE
If you’d asked me what love was two years ago, I probably would’ve said, ‘It’s this amazing feeling that obsesses and possesses you; it’s what me and my husband currently have.’ If you ask me that same question today, I’ll say, ‘Please get the hell out of my face.’
Claire Gracen’s life is picture perfect. Her career as a marketing director is on the brink of being legendary, and her marriage to her high school sweetheart has never been stronger. No, wait. It has. It used to be amazing and fulfilling, but one day Claire realizes that she’s been living a lie and her best friend and husband have committed the ultimate betrayal.
Broken and depressed, Claire is in need of something new—new city, new job, new friends.
When she happens to attract the interest of the sexiest man she’s ever met, a man significantly younger than her, she immediately turns him down—only to later discover that this man is Jonathan Statham, self-made billionaire and CEO of Statham Industries. Her boss.
Jonathan Statham is unlike any man she’s met before. He’s used to getting whatever he wants—whenever he wants, and he isn’t about to take no for an answer.
Sexy, unpredictable, and charmingly clever, Mid Life Love is a story that will captivate you, entertain you, and force you to fall deeply in love with the characters.
