This time, though, I plan to do things differently. But when my husband of twenty years packs up and heads for greener pastures and my son leaves for college, that's exactly what my life becomes. 'Happily Ever After' wasn't supposed to come with a do-over option. A cape wearing butler acting as the world's worst life coach. Which makes Jessie even more relatable.A woman starting over. When she explains a woman’s point of view to Austin Steele, she does it in a sincere and heartfelt way that belies her maturity and her life experiences in a way that you wouldn’t find in a younger character, and would not expect to find, either. Jessie is flawed, assumes her flaws (for the most part), has learnt from her past mistakes, and came to Ivy House at just the perfect time in her life.

The other two series had extremely likeable main characters (else I would not have read them), but both Sasha and Alexis are incredibly immature, which would’ve been a major turn-off for me in the hands of a less skilled writer. Not only because it is hilarious, but because, contrary to either of the two series I mentioned, the main character is a woman who knows what she wants and goes for it, flaws and all. However, her first PWF book became my favourite after mere pages, not even a chapter. In the wake, I started reading the Demigods of San Francisco. During the Holiday break, I read the whole of the Darkness series and really fell for her humour and her brand of dark paranormal. Magical Midlife Madness is not my first foray into the K.F. However, as she will soon find out, things at O’Briens are not always as they seem… A new fvourite There, she meets with extremely weird elderly people, and with a sexy bar owner. to temporarily move back to her parents’ house, where her parents drove her so crazy that she accepted a job as the caretaker of an old house that she had visited as a child and to which she felt a special pull. What is the book about? Magical Midlife Madness follows Jacinta, or Jessie, a 40-year-old recently (happily) divorced, who left L.A. Breene fashion, tense moments were often smoothed out with a very well-placed snarky remark (like a guy so well equipped that it “has its own time zone”) that had me roaring with laughter, sometimes to the point where I had to put the book down until I stopped laughing and could continue. Yes, I laughed that much, and that hard, for most of the book.

And madness it was! I laughed so hard that, at times, I feared that I would disturb the neighbours.

My latest Paranormal Women’s Fiction read, the eighth of the 13 books released in February, was K.F.
