Lessons From A Younger Lover [Paperback]

Zuri Day (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 1, 2010

Zuri Day cranks up the heat with an explosively sexy tale about a woman who's about to get a crash course in lust. . .

First grade teacher Gwen Smith was happily married--until her husband got himself a twenty-something mistress and filed for divorce. Now just months away from turning forty-one, Gwen is back in her tiny California hometown, caring for her ailing mother, convinced her life is over. Then she meets Ransom Blake.

Ransom is a twenty-six-year-old hunk who pushes every one of Gwen's buttons. Gwen has no intention of getting involved with a younger man, but he won't take no for an answer. So when he shows up at her classroom unannounced, Gwen can't help but tell him off--and then she realizes he's come for his daughter. But Ransom isn't shy about letting Gwen know how she can make it up to him. And if he gets his way, Gwen will lose all her inhibitions--and her heart...

More About the Author

Zuri Day is a hopeful romantic. She believes in happy endings, half-full glasses and dreams coming true. That's why she's thrilled to now contribute to the genre she's read since the age of thirteen, after sneaking into her older sister's Harlequin collection and getting hooked on "happily ever after." When not writing, Zuri still loves to snuggle up next to a good storyline, whip up delicious vegetarian cuisine, travel to exotic locations or entertain friends and family between her native Jamaica and southern CA, where she now lives. She also loves to hear from readers, and can be reached via her website, Zuriday.com.

I truly liked this story. Gwen is a 40 yrs old woman whose husband recently divorced her to be with a younger woman. Gwen moves back home to help her mother is suffering from dementia. In the process of settling in, she literally runs into Ransom.
Ransom is a 26 yrs old single father, who also happens to be the younger half brother of old classmate Adam Johnson (who also happens be the principal at the school she teaches at). It's instant attraction, between Gwen and Ransom, but Gwen wants no parts of a relationship with anyone.
Adam has an unhealthy rivalry with is younger brother and is determined to have his way with Gwen. When she continue to turn him down, he decides to go to drastic measures to make her submissive to his demands.
At time it seems the whole town is against Ransom and Gwen's relationship and they have to battle predictable adversaries at every turn. Through it all Ransom proves you can't judge a man by his age but by his maturity.
I really enjoyed this book and would love to read Chantay's story.

Ms. Day delivers a nice story on an old topic - the older woman dating the younger man... Gwen is a successful professional who is dumped by her ex-husband - time to go back home and regroup! Back at home - Gwen helps her ailing mother while starting over - encountering those who cannot let go of the past and something new - Ransome Blake a ohhh so sexy single dad who has it together.

The villans in this story - including Ransome's older brother remind us that some people never grow up! Ms. Day brings spice, humor and real issues making this story a great read. Oh yeah - its hot and sexy too!

This was one of the best romance novels that I have read. Zuri Day knows how to write a story. The book flowed from beginning to end. I could barely put it down. It was warm, romantic, and sexy. All the characters were great(the good - Ransom & Gwen and the bad - Adam, Carol, Joanna, & Brea). Ransom & Gwen's relationship development was great. I cannot say enough about this book. I will be reading it again and the other books from Zuri Day.
