Not What I Expected by Jewel E. Ann is now live!

Are humans meant to mate for life?

After four kids and an unfortunate but fateful end to her twenty-two-year marriage, Elsie Smith meets the new guy in town. Kael Hendricks is … a little younger, a lot sexy, and too confident for his own good. He also doesn’t believe in marriage and all that goes with it. And … He’s just opened a new business that threatens the livelihood of Elsie’s family’s store–just in time for the holidays. The problem? There’s an undeniable attraction that leads to out of control situations, a loss of inhibitions, and a lot of small-town gossip. As Elsie tries to redefine herself and convince her family she isn’t having a midlife crisis, she’s forced to answer the biggest question of all … Can she love an enemy who will never surrender?

Favorite Quotes:

 

“Of course, we miss our beloved husbands, but if we were to be honest like you, not every day was a walk in the park.” She looked right then left and lowered her voice. “Not every night ended in an orgasm. And no matter what anyone says … size matters.” Bethanne nodded.

 

I’m expanding my acceptable age range. Since I’m forty-two, I think I can go fifteen years in either direction… As a matter of fact, I would absolutely prefer a guy in his twenties to a guy in his late fifties. Why go gray-balling before you absolutely have to?

 

Such a small town. Zero room for secrets. Gossip was the only form of entertainment that didn’t involve a screen and a Hulu subscription in Epperly.

 

Kael left a trail of scorched panties in his wake just from his smile.

 

My Review:

 

This delightfully amusing tale kept me giggle-snorting with glee between squeezing my heart. The flawlessly engaging Jewel E. Ann hit all the feels and more than once. She mercilessly bruised my poor coronary muscle on one page and had me smirking and spewing my Diet Dew on the next. Every book of hers that I have ever read has produced the same phenomenon. Her deft skills are simply stellar. I adored these endearing and relatable characters and would love to know them in real life, although after falling completely into this cleverly crafted and thoughtfully written missive, I already feel like I do.
