About this ebook

Everything went wrong. And then she went gray.

At 47, newly divorced makeup artist Lela Bennett is dreading her next steps. Dating. Meeting people. Not letting herself go. But then she runs into Donovan James and tries something different—sleeping with her sexy crush from college. Unfortunately, in a post-orgasm stupor, Lela confesses she was in love with Donovan all those years ago. He responds by leaving while she sleeps. The next morning, her gray hairs are practically taunting her. She knows she has to get it together. Forget men. Embrace her age. Own her gray.

Donovan James is a marketing genius, but his ex-wives will tell you—nothing freaks him out like feelings. Three years after his one-night stand with Lela, he’s focused on his daughter’s lifestyle company, but unprepared to meet the face of their new beauty brand. It’s Lela. With stunning silver locks and new confidence, she’s no longer swayed by his charms. When business starts booming, the universe seems intent on throwing them together time and again. And suddenly, two people convinced that romance was behind them are wondering if love could be what’s next.

If you went to college during the late 70´s or 80´s you will relate to this story as it describes well the relationships quite a few grad students developed at that time (maybe it is the same way nowadays and I´m not aware of it!), there was a lot of talking, music, partying, walking, traveling and being happy together without necessarily there was a need of being a couple through and through. Sometimes friendship was all there was, quite often there was something more that never really got addressed. Maturity brings other life values and easier judgments and decisions (hopefully, to all of us) as it also enables us to see things in a different light. A love and life story that could be of any couple, anywhere in the globe. Entertaining and an easy journey to take through a book! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

With a gorgeously refreshing voice, Karen Booth blows the unrealistic definition of "prime" being perky bits and youthful bodies into the wind when she brings a middle-aged romance to life with natural depictions of aging, failed relationships and reimagined dreams. GRAY HAIR DON'T CARE is the modern woman's anthem to deserving love at any and all ages, colors, sizes! Lela is enviable. She's strong and self-assured and she takes advantage of the time following the end of the life she thought she'd be leading for the rest of her life to reassess and start new dreams. Donovan is delightfully smart enough to be learning life from a fresh perspective now that he's seeing the world through his grown daughter's eyes ... and it's changing him for the better. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves romance, loves humor and loves a cast of really relatable people who you feel like you could truly enjoy hanging out with in life.

One of the things that make this book stand out amongst the crowd is it’s focus on a more mature leading couple. I am so grateful to the author for giving us this, as it’s something that’s not easy to find. I adored Lela. She’s strong and feisty and independent, but we see all the vulnerabilities and insecurities she battles every day, too. I liked Donovan, for most of the book. There were definitely times where I wanted to take him and shake him or else smack some sense into his thick head. What I really enjoyed is that we got to see these two grow together, to learn from their past mistakes, and be stronger individuals and partners. There is so much emotion lacing through this book, it’s easy to get all the feels. I’ve gone and fallen in love with these characters and I hate having to let go of them now. I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book through Booksprout
