Description from the publisher:
More romance for the over forty.

Brut Paige needs a life break.
As caretaker to his brother, his business, and his son, he's used to being the man to get things done.
Yet, along the way, he's forgotten how to have fun.

Lily Warren deserves a vacation.
She's worked hard to establish her bakery, a lifelong dream.  She's proud of her accomplishments.
But, she knows there's something missing.

A broken heart tore them apart.
A little matchmaking forces them together...
Twenty-two years later.

Funny thing about being over forty—forgiveness and frosting can lead to all kinds of trouble…or restored dreams.

If you loved Hank Paige in Midlife Crisis, you'll want to learn more about his brother, Brut, a sexy silver fox mechanic, and the lost woman of his dreams.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

RESTORED DREAMS is the third book in the Silver Foxes series.  Each would stand on its own, but I highly recommend reading them all and in the order of release.

Being older means understanding the impetuousness of youth and forgiving the man of your dreams… if he’ll only forgive himself.  (The Page Princess’s summary of Lily’s view of Brut.)

Brut is drowning in life’s responsibilities.  – I know the feeling!!  – His life break comes with a second chance to get it right!  Starting with a vision of his Lily Pad, naked and showing her sweet tattoo, in the shower of the beach cottage he has rented for his first vacation to rest and remember what fun is. 

Though he broke his heart and hers twenty-two years ago, fate (with the conspiracy of his brother and sister-in-law) is in their corner.  They can be “everything and beyond” to each other, when they face their past and then bury it (no pun intended).

There is sweetness, romance, dancing in the rain, burnt cupcakes, surfing, smiles, Scrabble, and family.  Nope, that is not a random list.  It is just some of what makes me smile as I think back to reading this story and all that I want to share with you.  Hurry up!  Read it, too, so that we can fan girl all over the words!

As someone who has faced love after 40 (in fact, after 50!), I can tell you that age is just a number and the fires can be hotter than ever.  There is a lot to be said for experience!  I love this series and hope there will be more to come.

Note:  While I received this book as a gifted ARC, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
