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.

“We don’t need pre-marital counseling, Claire.” Jonathan
looked over at me as the elevator doors closed. “This is a waste of time.”
“I didn’t say we needed it. I said we should try it—to make
sure we both have honest expectations about being married.”
“And what expectations are those?”
“You’ll find out when we get there.” I smiled at him and he
rolled his eyes.
I’d told him I wanted to attend a few sessions before we got
married—something Ryan and I didn’t do, just to make sure we were on the same
page about a few things. Of course, he was one hundred percent against the
idea, but after I told him it would make me “happy,” he slowly gave in.
We were scheduled for a two hour session with the top
counseling firm in San Francisco—Waldo and Emerson Associates. The doctors had
assured me that it would be a light and easy process and that Jonathan and I
would come out of it feeling closer than before.
As our elevator came to a stop and the doors glided open, I
realized that there was nothing ahead of us. There was no secretary’s desk, no
simple sign that read “Waldo & Emerson,” nor was there anything that
resembled any sort of professional counseling business. Instead, the entire
floor was covered in white sand, the few clear columns that stood ten feet
apart were filled with colorful fish, and there were three beige beanbags that
surrounded a small makeshift fire-pit.
Before I could accuse Jonathan of tampering with our
session, a man dressed in an all-white tunic stepped in front of us.
“Ahhhh,” he said, smiling. “The future Mr. and Mrs. Statham.
Welcome to Waldo pre-marital counseling. I’m Dr. Choate and I’ll be assisting
you through the first stage of unity today.”
“Wait a minute. I’m sorry.” I shook my head. “We’re supposed
to be meeting a Dr. Fleming. Is this the wrong floor?”
“No. You’re in the right place. This is it.”
“Then where is Dr. Fleming?”
“He retired last week. He didn’t send you an email?”
I shook my head.
“Oh, well sorry about that. The company decided to hire me
in his place the same day that he left. After all my success with the Zen
rituals at Statham Industries, they thought I was the best choice.” He reached
out to shake Jonathan’s hand. “That’s why it’s an absolute honor to bestow my
new and exclusive Zen practices with the man who made me a household name.”
Oh god…
I really enjoyed this book and the piece of resistance was Mr. Jonathan Stratham. I just loved him! His humor, his sarcasm (gets me every time), he devotion to Claire and undying love. His love for Claire's girls too. I loved the interaction between Jonathan and the girls. I giggled, laughed out loud, crying and screamed sometimes at Claire - Bridezilla anyone? Overall this was a great series and I highly recommend it. Can't wait for book 3 - Haley!!
This is book 2 in the Mid Life Love Series. Claire and Jonathan are getting married and just when everything seems to be going in the right direction for Claire, Ryan, her ex-husband, shows back up and is relentless in her pursuit to talk to her. Claire is in the middle of driving Jonathan insane with all the wedding plans too. There is a lot of drama but humor and hotness interspersed enough not to make the read too angsty or too over the edge. Great book! Great Series!
