Description from the publisher:
Hop off the fast track. Buy a boat. Write the Great American Novel.
Forty-four-year-old Susanna Walker knows the importance of taking risks and dreaming big.
Mother of two grown kids. Former CEO of a Silicon Valley PR firm. Ex-wife of a still-present, former compulsive
gambler. Susanna ignores their
objections to her new life and refuses to accept she may be
perimenopausal.
As with all well-laid plans, hers
quickly derail when the hunk from the boat next door drops by and invites her
to supper on his vessel Camelot. The
boat's name, his boyish appearance, and the medieval armor leave her a bit
dazed
Yet, against all reason, Susanna
agrees to inspect the armor more closely while he puts the finishing touches on
fresh pasta, shrimp, and a cheeky Chardonnay.
When she wakes hung over the next morning, her clothes neatly folded on the chair next to her bed, she's naked.
And mad. He suckered her in with his knight-in-shining armor disguise. But does he think he can steal her underwear without consequences?
Unfortunately, the Bold Knight
rejects the consequences and issues his own challenges …
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CRAZY DAZE AND A KNIGHT is a
stand-alone contemporary romance with an older woman/younger man trope.
Because of Susanna’s hang-ups with
her age, her reference to her superego as a separate entity named Zenoba, and
boundary issues with her daughter and ex-husband, there was a lot to keep me
frustrated in this story.
On the other hand, the story is
humorous and sweet with beautiful descriptions throughout. The characters are each unique and the two
main characters are multi-layered. The
spark between them was instantaneous. I
loved how Rex, aka The Bold Knight, had fallen head-over-heels for Susanna and
was in it for the long haul from day one; He just had to convince the fair
maiden that age was just a number. That
took time, patience, and gentlemanly pursuit.
This was fun and funny, and I recommend
it as a nice, light-hearted story to while away an afternoon.
Note: While I received this book as a gifted ARC,
my opinions are my own and are given freely.
