Julia spots Heath daily at the gym. They start chatting and are drawn to one another. However, as they get to know one another, they discover a secret &#8211; a secret that could destroy their happiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both of them are linked in a very unusual way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I liked this story because it&#8217;s about two senior citizens falling in love. You don&#8217;t find many romances with elderly characters. Both of them have been hurt by their ex-spouses, and dating is the last thing that either of them wants to do. You also have the family dynamic with the reactions of the kids and their ex&#8217;s. I thought the kids reactions were realistic. I understood why they&#8217;d want to protect their parents from heartbreak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also enjoyed seeing Heath and Julia work through their problems. It was refreshing to see them spend time together, getting to know one another, trying to build a relationship amidst turmoil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap\"><strong>So, do you enjoy senior-citizen love stories? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you do, in addition to <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3if6hrv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">It&#8217;s Better This Way<\/a>, you should also try my novel, <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3pkuwG6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Caramel Kisses<\/a>!
