Susan never expected to feel this way, but as the years stretch ahead of her, she can't help but wonder...
Should she stay in a stale marriage with a man she no longer trusts? Or should she leave and face life on her own terms?

Susan McNeil has a list of unfinished dreams-some small, some larger - and she has decisions to make. Should she stay with her husband Richard - the man she built her life with, but no longer trusts - or should she step out on her own and do all the things she's always wanted to do?

And what should she do about the attractive, newly divorced Sid Jones, who wants to rekindle their former love? The same Sid Jones who makes her heart beat a little faster whenever he's around.

Richard regrets the secrets he’s been keeping from Susan, and now he’s stuck in Mexico with his brother. When he learns Susan is spending time with Sid, he knows he has to get home and make things right or lose her forever. But how? And is he too late?

Will Susan choose life without him? Or will Richard come home to love?

4.0 out of 5 stars Second Chances
Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2020
Susan is fed up with her husband Richard’s sitting around the house all day doing nothing. He told her he retired. Richard’s half brother calls him and says he needs his help. So Richard tells Susan that Rupert needs his help with a job. But instead of a job, Rupert wants Richard to fly to Cancun.
While Richard is gone, Susan learns he was laid off and he has taken a second mortgage on their house. She finds out Richard is in Cancun when Rupert’s son goes to visit him and he is gone.

This book is full of lies and misunderstandings. You have to keep reading to find out how the author will bring it all together. Relationships can be holding on by a thread, but have the resilience to spring back if two people are committed to each other. The author showed this with Susan and Richard and Lucy and Rupert. In the end, I did enjoy this book.

I was given this book as an ARC for an honest review.

I enjoyed this book. It was an easy read and you rooted for all of the characters. It was a good book for when you just didn't want to think and you needed something easy because the author was good at having you escape into the book. Great job!

5.0 out of 5 stars A lovely seasoned romance (an audio review)
Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2021
Part of me rebels at the notion of ‘seasoned romance’. What does that even mean? But it’s a thing and I’ve discovered I really like them, so I guess having a category for them helps. I like romances with more mature heroes and heroines. Much of the angsty drama is past them. They’ve settled into their lives but some kind of disruption happens.

I read the first book in this series and the disruption was death on one side and divorce on the other. But two older people met, fell in love, and started a new life together. Jack and Sylvia were by no means past their prime – just ready to start again with a new partner.

This second book in the Sunshine Bay series is about a married couple. Susan and Richard have been together for many years. They raised a son who has since moved out and they’re getting close to retirement. They have some choices they have to make. All that being said, Susan is getting tired of her job and looking forward to the day she can start really living. Meanwhile, Richard appears to have taken early retirement, but things aren’t going well.

When he takes off to visit his step-brother in Mexico, Susan begins to discover things aren’t as they seem. She is forced to face some hard truths about the man she’s been with for so many years. She has to re-evaluate everything she thought to be true. And she needs to make some tough decisions about whether she’s willing to stick with Richard after everything he’s done.

One interesting structure in this book is the alternating chapters – one from Susan’s point of view and one from Richard’s. Every time I agreed with Susan’s righteous anger, I’d see how Richard was just struggling to hold everything together. I felt like my heart was ping-ponging and a few times I wasn’t sure which way this was going to go. But it’s a romance, so I got my happy ending.

I enjoy Susan Fouche’s narration. I’ve heard her do a number of Canadian novels and I think she does a really good job. I’m so glad I picked this up and I can’t wait for more books to come. There was one character in this book who intrigued me and I’m wondering if he’ll get a story…

So he tells Susan that his brother needs his help, and since his break up with lucy, He has moved to palm springs with a new lover. So anyways he has lied to his wife Susan of 35 years about just where he is meeting his brother at. He has promised his brother Rupert that he would not tell his wife Susan the truth where they are meeting in Mexico. So Richard finds out from his brother that he has cancer and he wanted Richard with him while he sees a oconologist doctor in Mexico because he thinks his insurance will not pay for his treatment in his home town. Also he does not want Lucy to find out. Due to Lucy and Susan are bff forever and always tell each other everything. But she does not find out from richard or Rupert that he is sick and no mistress. Rupert just did not want his 35 year old marriage to go threw the same thing his mother did when their father had cancer, so instead Rupert let her think he was running away to california with a new life. well the truth comes out and Lucy runs to Mexico to confront her wayward husband and convince him that she will stay and help him threw his treatments and stay with him to be there as his wife.

Richard decides to just go home and when he gets home sees she was home and he opens the door accusing her of being with another man. But then Susan decides ok buddy my turn. Well anyways they finally work everything out all the misunderstandings, And 3 months later Rupert and Lucy and their 2 sons Joel and Brian are all eating dinner. Rupert and Lucy returned from Mexico get back together and it seems everything is fine in the family great book 5 stars. looking forward to read book 2 from this author, middle age love great stories.
