Love in Due Time, an all-new second chance romantic comedy from L.B. Dunbar is available now!
Naomi Winters will be forty—soon-ish—and she’s only been with one man. One night. One time. Long ago. She believes everything happens for a reason, and the universe spoke about Nathan Ryder.
Nathan Ryder isn’t the same man who hightailed his bike out of Green Valley eighteen years ago. As a rule breaker, women are one area he acts a fool. Case in point…the local librarian. He can’t get a read on her, but she’s one risk he’s willing to take. Again.
What do an eccentric librarian and a sexy silver biker have in common? More than you think.
The due date on their love might not be expired after all.
'Love in Due Time' is a full-length, contemporary romantic comedy, can be read as a standalone, and is book#1 in the Green Valley Library series.

About L.B. Dunbar
L.B. Dunbar loves the sweeter things in life: cookies, Coca-Cola, and romance. Her reading journey began with a deep love of fairy tales, medieval knights, Regency debauchery, and alpha males. She loves a deep belly laugh and a strong hug. Occasionally, she has the energy of a Jack Russell terrier. Accused—yes, that’s the correct word—of having an overactive imagination, to her benefit, such an imagination works well. Author of over two dozen novels, she’s created sweet, small town worlds; rock star mayhem; MMA chaos; sexy rom-coms for the over 40; and intrigue on an island of redemption. In addition, she is earning a title as the “myth and legend lady” for her modernizations of mythology as elda lore. Her other duties in life include mother to four children and wife to the one and only.

Let me start by saying LB Dunbar has outdone herself, I've NEVER read a contemporary romance like this before. It's mature, understated, resigned love or lack thereof..second chance comes driving on a motorcycle and parks straight into my soul & that of Naomi
I loved loved loved this unusual story. I say unusual because the character sketch was novel. A free spirit, whose religion is Nature & Universe is waiting for 18 years for a bad boy who locked her heart and took away the only key!! She doesn't love anybody after and nobody loves her. Her persona becomes an object of ridicule and humiliation. Her misunderstood ways brick batted and sabotaged.
“Broom, broom, broom, look who’s under the moon?
Itchy Bitchy Gotcha, Witchy”
Naomi Winters is not your typical heroine, she's a WICCAN and has shrouded her soul and body in layers of clothes and dust. Inside she's waiting for a phone call, for a closure maybe. I felt as if her heart was still lying in the motel when she was 21, eyes on the road where Nathan Ryder left her.
The Tail Of The Dragon between The biker bar - The Fugitive and Cedar Gap,an armpit of Green Valley, Tennessee.
"The road holds ghosts for me, and I don’t take traveling down it lightly. In fact, I love the thrill of racing down it, as if I can outrun my demons which lived and died on this road. The memories haunt me each time I hit a certain curl and I hold my breath."
This Dragon has devoured lives, futures & hopes. One of them is Nathan, the other Jebediah, third their love story...all lay massacred in this treacherous, twisty, winding The Tail Of The Dragon.
Dunbar has sprinkled all kinds of love in this heart touching story of devastating love frozen still.
"Coming home to Green Valley, I knew I’d have to face my sins, my fear of retribution, and this godforsaken road."
Humour is abundant but poignant, that's very unusual combination.
Racetrack humour
Vagina humour
Library humour
Old man humour
Sex humor
When passion ignites, hearts begins to thaw, smiles begin to form, hope begins to come to life, emotions dust away the cobwebs re-entering the heart,hands itch to touch each other, lips tremble to taste.
“I’m all tangled up inside over you. I’m … I’m stuck on you,”
“Witch or not, Naomi Winters, you’ve put a spell on me, and I don’t want it broken.
I'm stuck, and I don't wanna be unstuck”
It's a very nuanced story and you can actually feel every thread of sentiment that plays a soulful music.
I was always a fan of LB's mature romances but this book made me cry. Her heroines are at the trickiest years of age, not young enough to go find love again, bogged down with self depreciating moralities, and not old enough to retire their wants and needs. LB brilliantly portrays mid life crisis as a theme song
"Like the season, I’m in the autumn of my life, desperate for a change, but not knowing what such a change should be."
There was a scene where Nathan calls her after he just leaves her house, right from the driveway and I had a giant lump in my throat reading it. My ears are misty right now, as I'm writing the review...
It's beauty lies in the uniqueness of the plot, narration is at a steady and controlled pace.
It's a small town romance with Slow burning heat of dormant desires awakening to life.
Grab it with both hands and don't let go, literally and figuratively...
5 stars for Kiss and Catastrophe
