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.

First grade teacher Gwen Smith has just been dealt a blow she didn't see coming. Her husband of ten years has just announced he's leaving her for his mistress and wants a divorce. When her shock clears, she's faced with another life altering decision and returns to her small California hometown to care for her ailing mother. Her life is getting back on track and Gwen is relieved until she literally bumps into a handsome and sexy stranger who will teach her sensual lessons she never knew existed.

Ransom Blake is young, handsome and wise beyond his years. He's a successful business owner of a construction company and a devoted father to his beloved daughter. He's content with his life but wishes for a special lady to share it with. When he bumps into an alluring and attractive stranger he wants nothing more than to make his wish a reality and give her a lesson she will not forget.

A passionate tale of love, LESSONS FROM A YOUNGER LOVER, kept me turning page after page to see what would happen next. Day told Gwen and Ransom's love story with sexiness and sensuality.

I got this story back in September 2010 for free and am just getting around to reading it. I was pleasantly surprised and truly enjoyed the story. I really enjoyed how Ransom respected Gwen's wishes to remain faithful until her divorce was final. The lessons he taught her were HOT!

The scheming by Adam, Carol, Joanne, and Brea was ok to read because I knew they would not get away with it. I'm happy with the HEA.

I'm going to have to try what Ranson and Gwen did with that champagne glass. I'd drink my fill as well LOL!

Gwen is moving back home at forty. Her husband has found a younger woman and Gwen's mother is showing signs of dementia, so she moves from her job as a teacher in Chicago back to a small hamlet in Northern California. What Gwen finds there is her best friend, an old crush, and the finest man she's ever laid eyes on. Ransom Blake is a long-haired, caramel skinned warrior of a man who is instantly intrigued by Gwen but she's afraid of her attraction for him. Pretty soon she finds that she can't resist Ransom but there are some people who don't like their budding relationship. This is a classic May/December romance but Ms. Day slips some surprises in that throw everything for a serious loop.

I purchased this title in March 2010 when it first released and loved it; I downloaded it to my Kindle app for Android. This book is definitely worth reading a second time.

Ah, l'amour. Anytime I sigh after reading a romance novel, I know I really liked it. I not only sighed after reading this one, but during it as well. I really enjoyed the story of Gwen and Ransom. I thought the characters were fully developed, and the storyline evenly paced. The hero and heroine were likeable (Ransom was a young, hot yummy!), and the villans got what they deserved. I even felt sorry for a couple of them. This book grabbed me from the very beginning and kept me flipping Kindle pages. Excellent read. Definitely worth 5 stars.

I really liked this one. The story of Gwen and Ransom, with so many people against their relationship, they came out on top. Truly a beautiful story.

Loved this story. This is one of the best love stories of the older woman and younger man that I have read.When Gwen came home to take care of her mother she didn't expect to fine love, but she did and it was with someone who truly loved her. She also got pregnant with the child that she always wanted. I ordered some more of Zuri's books and they were awesome.I think that I need to read lesson....again

This book had all the right ingredients, but something just didn't click with me.

Gwen was likeable and I really wanted her to succeed in returning to her hometown, especially since her husband of 10 years left her for a younger woman. Getting a makeover from her girlfriend left her looking and feeling years younger.

Adam, Gwen's high school classmate from 20+ years ago, was her new boss immediately noticed that the years had been kind to Gwen and she had blossomed from `homely' to `heavenly' in the looks department. Unfortunately, the years had robbed him of his good looks and athletic build, leaving only his womanizing ways in tact.

Ransom Blake is Adam's younger step brother. Ransom is a single father with an adorable little first grade daughter. Ransom is young, gorgeous, and virile.

Gwen and Ransom are instantly attracted to one another, but she feels he's too young for her, besides, his daughter is in her new classroom. Despite her objections, Ransom convinces Gwen to date him and along the way, Ransom teaches Gwen many lessons in sensuality, trust, and taking chances.

But remember that love lessons are never easy -- especially when others will do ANYTHING to destroy your love bcz they want you for themselves
