Primary school teacher Gwen Smith was happily married - until her husband got himself a 20-something mistress and filed for divorce. Only a few months away from turning 41, Gwen is now back in her tiny hometown in California, caring for her ailing mother and convinced that her life is over. Until she meets Ransom Blake, a 26-year-old hunk who pushes every one of her buttons. Gwen has no intention of getting involved with a younger man, but Ransom just won't take no for an answer.
This book was the bomb! I found myself reading it a second time. I just love the way Zuri wrote Ransom as a determined, very expressive and aggressive, but passionate younger man. The way he brought the hidden passion and daring feelings out of this woman. Great story! Zuri Day has become another favorite author to me.

This is the story of 26yo Ransom who literally bumps into 40yo Gwen who has returned to her small town city in CA to care for her ailing mother while teaching a passle of 6 year olds at the local elementary school. Immediate sparks fly between the two but Gwen is still going through a divorce from her cheating spouse while dodging Ransom's older brother who has set his eyes on what he says "the ugly duckling". This is a very well written story that starts with friendship and leads to love that will leave you breathless with Ransom's "Lessons" on helping a butterfly find her wings.

Loved it. Gwen Smith is a 40 year old woman who's husband had left her for a twenty-something year old woman and she moves back home after her Mom has been diagnosed with dementia. She applies for a job as a teacher and a old classmate Adam is the principal. He comes on to her but she tells him she is not interested but that only makes him try harder. She runs into his younger half brother Ransom and is surprised by the sparks she feels. He is a lot younger than her plus she is his daughter's teacher so she tried to ignore the sparks. Adam and other's decide that they want to keep the couple apart for their own selfish reasons and a lot of drama occurs including a attempted rape.

I truly liked this story. Gwen is a 40 yrs old woman whose husband recently divorced her to be with a younger woman. Gwen moves back home to help her mother is suffering from dementia. In the process of settling in, she literally runs into Ransom. Ransom is a 26 yrs old single father, who also happens to be the younger half brother of old classmate Adam Johnson (who also happens be the principal at the school she teaches at). It's instant attraction, between Gwen and Ransom, but Gwen wants no parts of a relationship with anyone. Adam has an unhealthy rivalry with is younger brother and is determined to have his way with Gwen. When she continue to turn him down, he decides to go to drastic measures to make her submissive to his demands. At time it seems the whole town is against Ransom and Gwen's relationship and they have to battle predictable adversaries at every turn. Through it all Ransom proves you can't judge a man by his age but by his maturity. I really enjoyed this book and would love to read Chantay's story.
