"***Charming Chapter was a cute story with a happy ending. I love that it wasn't the typical young characters, but multi generational. Laura, the main character, has just turned 60 and has decided to travel to England to investigate her ancestors roots. She meets Hugh and they hit it off right away. The book is full of all kinds of important messages- Follow your dreams, listen to your heart, don't be afraid to start over or fall in love again. The advice Laura gives her daughter is perfect and so spot on!
***Charming Chapter is the first book in the Boomer Babes Book Club series, and debut novel by Lori Haas. It is a sweet women’s fiction story about finding love again later in life. As this is my first read by Lori Haas, I really didn’t know what to expect from one of her stories- but the cover caught my attention, and the story promised something a little different to what I have been reading of late, so I took a chance, snapped up a copy, and set off to see what happens. What I discovered is exactly what the title promised, a charming tale capturing a later-in-life romance (clean), friendship, finding love after loss, interesting older characters, sweet + heartwarming details, fun, challenges, and just enough drama to keep things interesting. The characters were really well-developed individuals with their own unique personalities, quirks, and flaws- making the story quite realistic and entirely believable. It was great seeing that it’s never too late for love. And the friendships were a fun addition, adding extra interest to the overall storyline. If you love women’s fiction, clean romances, and stories with charming mature characters finding love unexpectedly -- then this is definitely the book for you.
***Charming Chapter is a wonderfully written romance, with big bonus points because it is a second chance later in life romance. As a 50-year-old woman it is very refreshing to read books in my own age range. The characters are all likable and easy to relate to and nicely developed. This book will take you on a journey with self-discovery, you may think about your own relationships, a bit of drama and love and even some laughs. It is a fun quick read, and I can't wait for the next book. I highly recommend this book."
