Unexpected Gift

A Midlife Holiday Romance

By: Rose Bak

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

She moved to a fifty-five and older community intending to enjoy an early retirement – instead she found love!

Julie
My kids think I’m crazy moving to the Silver Falls Active Living Community after my job offers me a buyout to retire early. They don’t understand my need to downsize and enjoy a simple, uncomplicated life. After a lifetime of working fulltime and taking care of my kids as a single mom, I’m ready for some “me time”.

I soon learn that Silver Falls is nicknamed “Silver Fox Falls” due to the abundance of handsome older bachelors. But I’m not interested in romance, especially with the charming and annoying guy I keep bumping into everywhere I go.

Dante
I’ve gone sixty years without being hit by Cupid’s bow, but the minute I spill my drink on Julie I know she’s the woman I’ve been waiting for my entire life. She doesn’t seem to like me, but I’m determined to change her mind. After all, I’m good looking, rich, and I’m a great cook. Most people would consider me a good catch.

When I finally convince her to go out with me, I pull out of the stops to make her fall in love with me. Christmas is coming, and I only want one thing from Santa: Julie to be my holiday bride.

Welcome to Silver Fox Falls, where residents soon learn that midlife is the best time to find true love. Expect spunky and independent women, charming and sexy older men, and nosy neighbors who are intent on matchmaking to help get their friends to a sweet happily ever after.

hate AI virtual narrative

great story, ruined by a computer virtual voice. pauses in the wrong places and at times you couldn't even tell which character was supposed to be talking.

THE NARRATION SUCKS!

This book would have been much better if it was read by real narrators! Sometimes I couldn't figure out what character was talking because "they " had the same voice. You can't AI emotion into a story. 😒
