Flirting with 40

De: K. Bromberg

Narrado por: Emma Wilder, Zachary Webber

An all new flirty, lighthearted, standalone romance by New York Times bestselling author K. Bromberg guaranteed to make you swoon.

Blakely Foxx is having one of those years.

Her divorce may have been finalized a few months ago, but her ex is already engaged to someone half her age. Her younger boss is determined to sabotage her chance at getting the promotion she rightly deserves. And to make matters worse, she’s closing in on the big 4-0. There isn’t enough wine or ice cream in the world to convince her things will turn around.

When Blakely meets Slade Henderson, she’s left wondering why an early-thirties, hotter than hell, cardiothoracic surgeon would take an interest in her.

She’s been warned that he’ll break her heart, but she’s willing to take the chance. Not only is he helping her get that promotion, but in the process, he’s encouraging her to find the parts of herself she’s lost over the past few years.

Slade shows her that good guys really do exist, but who knew the hardest part about turning forty would be realizing the man you thought was a rebound, is actually your happily ever after?

This Is What Divorce Feels Like

There are a couple of other reviews stating they didn’t like the female character because she was always complaining and self-deprecating.

I found this book refreshing. When you go through a divorce, women often don’t feel attractive or “good enough.” Been there, done that and I could really empathize with Blakely. I also loved that Slade understood that and really helped her find herself again.

It doesn’t hurt that they had an immediate connection with each other. I really enjoyed this book and would definitely recommend to anyone. There are plenty of laugh out loud moments mixed in with steamy attraction.

A Hallmark Channel story

I was on the fence about this one in the beginning, but once I got into the story- I couldn't get enough! Slade Henderson.. SWOON! Wonderful story and a lesson to never give up on finding the love you deserve ❤

Sweet love story

This is one of the sweetest love stories that I have heard. Best of all both the man and woman are smart, funny and relatable people! I thoroughly enjoyed this book!!

Great characters!

I absolutely loved Blakely! Her doubts and insecurities were so relatable, and her strength was inspiring. Slade was all the things you hope for in a leading man and I could not get enough of these two.

Amazing

Blakely is one amazing strong woman. Slade is one strong sure of himself man. When he sees what he wants he goes after it. Could not wait to see where they were going.

Great listen

I started this book just before turning 40. It’s a great listen for someone around this age

Real Romance

This book was so awesome. It felt real & that you were apart of their romance

Give me all the Slades

So, I like the older woman trope, but I’m pretty particular with it. This one danced around what I don’t like about the trope. It basically revolves around the woman feeling inadequate and sounding like an old hag. I do get as a plot device. Sometimes it’s a little much and admittedly for myself it can be a turn off.

For the most part I got over it. K. Bromberg wrote Blakely really well as a divorcee still reeling from the after effects of her marriage. How she shaped this character into improving her own self image was really good. Slade was great as her cheerleader. He’s a doctor at a crossroads with his job. So with his unexpected free time, he helps Blakely with her job with a list.

How K. weaves this list into the story was probably one of my favorite parts of this book. It was sentimental and good to see Blakely challenged. I liked that she gave into the chemistry her and Slade shared and I loved how she evolved.

While not a fan of the black moment, I did adore the sweetness of this love story. Blakely and Slade were just *that* couple you cheer for.

Emma Wilder and Zachary Webber came through hard. Just a great performance from both. Emma stealing the show just a little bit more with multiple character voices in some scenes. Just wow.

Great narration and Sweet story!

Sweet story with lovable characters and I was sad when it came to an end!

Great story ..very hot!

Zachary and Emma have such great voices. Easy on the ear and conjures up such hot images! I can listen to Zachary 's voice for hours!!
