Dolores Chance.
When I was falling apart, I fell in love.
It wasn’t supposed to happen like this.
I ran away from life and ended up running into…his dog.
Actually, his dog ran into me. I don’t care for dogs.
Then I met the owner.
Garrett Fox.
When my neighbor’s sister came to visit,
I promised to show her around town.
I’m an investor in things, not people, not emotions.
I’m not a fan of love. I’ve been burned before.
Then I met Dolores.
When a sexy mature, man-of-means encounters a silver vixen,
healing her broken heart might be worth more than gold.
Romance has no age limit.
L.B. Dunbar has been
accused of having an over-active imagination. To her benefit, this imagination
has created over twenty novels, including a small-town world (Sensations
Collection), rock star mayhem (Legendary Rock Star series), MMA chaos (Paradise
Stories), rom-com for the over forty (The Sex Education of M.E. and After
Care), and a suspenseful island for redemption (The Island Duet). Her alter
ego, elda lore, creates magical romance through mythological retellings (Modern
Descendants). Her life revolves around a deep love of reading about fairy
tales, medieval knights, regency debauchery, and strong alpha males. She loves
a deep belly laugh, a strong hug, and an occasional margarita. Her other loves
include being mother to four grown children and wife to the one and only.

What does Dorothy do when she's older and stuck in kansas?
does she still have the spunk to go on an adventure?
What if hope has dulled in her eyes and she needs a tin man or scarecrow or cowardly lion to show her that she always had the choice to change her destiny, she just didn't know it yet?
It's a sensitive Coming To realisation story of a woman lost in the ennui before she has even lived fully. To see a flower blooming, even a bit late, is a beautiful thing to watch and a story to read about
“Still searching for the ruby slippers, Dorothy,”he mocks, and it takes me a moment to register the reference.
“I get it."
“But the yellow brick road doesn’t always lead to the Emerald City. And Dorothy had the power to make decisions all along.”
So did Dolores!
She's aged before her years, too burdened with onus of her inheretance. And frankly speaking, she never had a choice. Left to take care of the Diner & Magnolia, stuck in a rut in Blue Ridge in Georgia while Denton made his life.....what could she do except drag her feet along her dismal life.
She has Smarts, Heart & Courage, just needs to click her slippers and get going on the yellow brick road!!
Fate brings her to California and life starts to change.....
She bumps into Hollow Heart Tin-man and he changes along with her.
He’s no longer the Tin Man to my lost Dorothy, but a true Wizard, making dreams a reality.
LB has a perfectly captured the mature romance market with her innate knowledge of pitfalls and insecurities of advanced age sentiments.
I especially like how her characters have REAL problems of REAL life. Beats reading unrelatable HS romances any day!! Stunner Dolores and Confused Scarecrow Garrett Fox are so relatable and true to life, I could identify with both of them at all times.
This story in particular story starts on a sad and depressed note and then the clouds clear and hope shines through. Very subtle in moods and yet very steamy, it's like they both were making up for the lost times !!
I loved the sensibility and worldly attitude present throughout
Thank you LB for continuously churning out one smart book after the other.
3 cheers for Life After Forty !!!
4.5 stars for Smelly Wally Toto
