About L.B. Dunbar
I’ve been accused of having an over-active imagination. To my benefit, this imagination has created over twenty novels, including the creation of 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 a suspenseful island for redemption (The Island Duet). My alter ego, elda lore, creates magical romance through mythological retellings (Modern Descendants). My life revolves around a deep love of reading about fairy tales, medieval knights, regency debauchery, and strong alpha males. I love a deep belly laugh, a strong hug, and an occasional margarita. My other loves include being mother to four grown children and wife to the one and only.

I absolutely LOVE the Sexy Silver Foxes! L.B. Dunbar has sure mastered the writing of romance books for the over 40. I enjoy reading about characters who have real life expectations, real life problems and how these issues are resolved with experiences that come naturally to me.

Growing up, Mati, Chris and Denton were inseparable. Best Friends always having each other’s back. When graduation comes, and Denton leaves town, Mati and Chris grow closer. Eventually marrying and starting a family. 

While Denton took off and became a successful musician, he has never been back to town. 

Now 27 years later…is it time to reveal the secrets…
Or
Are secrets meant to be kept silent forever?






A standing ovation for LB to continuously break the romantic couple preset mold and write meaningful, real love stories about people over 40. 
It's a courageous achievement which in itself deserves acknowledgement and accolades.  Fantastic job LB and keep going, we need more authentic stories like this, with real day problems in real situations. It's so refreshing to see mature characters behaving in a sensible way. If this story had a relationship status, it'd be - IT'S COMPLICATED!!! 

 “Seems complicated has come a-knocking, Mati. Time to jump at the net,”  
This entire series has been fantastic but This One is outstanding amongst it all.  
It's a Double second chance romance, in the sense that its a second chance for BOTH Mati Harrington-Rathstone as much as it is for Denton Chance. 
The trio of Chris, Mati's husband, Denton & Mati were thick as thieves since childhood. They grew up together, experienced teenage pangs together and fell in love together. 

 Fate separates their ways abruptly and as it happens when hearts aren't cleanly cut apart, but pulled away. strings get stretched, jagged edges take shape and lingering hostilities occupy empty space. 
Chris marries Mati and they live happily ever after and Denton.....well he becomes a rockstar and a photog model.  
Three souls separated, strive to live but emptiness comes claiming them back God, I’m tired, I think as I consider the journey my life has taken. Rockstar. Photographer. Model. 
"It isn’t that I don’t have a good life, but I’m tired all the same." 

The Prodigal Son returns home. 

 "I’ll be barreling backward in time—a ride in reverse—and I’m curious how much of the past remains. " 

Things have changed a lot, people have moved on, houses have become dilapidated, land has been overrun by weeds and friends are struggling to survive. But as is in small towns, gossip is still alive and flourishing. 

"He followed his heart from the start, but my journey has been twists and turns on a different path leading to this point. The road well-traveled." 

    It's a beautiful story, THE BEST of the entire series in my opinion. The yearning and pining adds to the thrill of pulsating passions. Denton is at the center of the maelstrom that hits Blue Ridge in Georgia. And he brings his buddies back too who we met in earlier books. 

 I loved the sensitivity of the sentiments, the authority of Mati's character. She's no shrinking violet and carries herself beautifully, putting her sons in place and the entire town for that matter. 
The ending just blew me away. It's a subtle power shift and the understated turn of events strengthen the placing of women in the story. LB has made the heroine strong TILL THE VERY END and for that alone this book deserves an extra mark. 
My whole life, I’ve given up things. My volleyball scholarship,My college education when I got pregnant. Then my body to my boys. Motherhood. Working for the pub. I’m not begrudging any of those decisions or circumstances. I wouldn’t trade most of them, but it’s also my time.” 

 Strong characters, precise storyline, right amount of intrigue, passion and sensuality. One thing I want to mention, after a long time I've read some great kissing scenes. Generally it's sex that the focus of romance but LB uses kisses to convey sentiments at different points of the story. I loved it. 
I’m-afraid-I’ll-never-feel-again-how-I-feel-with-you  
Great enjoyable read 5 stars for Mati & the Minivan
