USA Today Bestselling Author, Terri E. Laine, brings a new
standalone, Thirty-five and Single.
What can go wrong when you’re getting divorced from your high school
sweetheart, it's your thirty-fifth birthday and you have too much to
drink?
Throw in the gorgeous neighbor who comes to the rescue when you can't seem to
open your apartment door after all the alcohol and end up taking a drunken slip
and slid across the floor.
Then you look up into his gorgeous face and forget all the reasons why it’s a
bad idea to hook-up with said twenty-something neighbor. In fact, it’s a
fan-freaking-tastic idea.
Now let the games begin because this is Olivia's life: - interfering sisters,
the ex, co-workers… and Joel, her way too sexy, too young, but oh so hot
neighbor.
Wanting to explore single life, Olivia fights her growing connection with Joel.
Only he’s is determined to prove to her that age is just a number and she’s is
his number one.

EXCERPT
When I meet Joel Matthews, I’m in an unexpected place in life.
Divorceville.
I mean who expects that after fourteen years of marriage to your high school sweetheart.
Not me.
It hits me while celebrating my birthday with my sisters that I’m thirty-five
and single. Shouldn’t I finally date someone other than my ex?
I totally deserve that, right?
After way too many lemon drop shots, I’m tricked into trying on my younger
sister considerate gift as she put it. Did I mention it’s a gag gift? A “my
milkshakes bring all the boys to my yard” t-shirt and velour sweatpants with
“Sin-a-Buns” written across my bottom which she finds all too hilarious.
That’s how Joel finds me, too smashed to open my apartment door and when I do,
I take a drunken slip and slid across the floor with my Sin-A -Buns on
full display.
Joel doesn’t seem to notice. Then again, I swear I heard a chuckle. But no
matter, he’s right there to make sure I’m okay as any knight in shiny
armor should do.
Okay, where did that come from? Clearly, I’m not in my right frame of mine.
When I look up into his gorgeous face, I forget all the reasons why it’s a bad
idea to hook-up with my twenty-something neighbor. In fact, it’s a
fan-freaking-tastic idea.
(Ride that pony, girl? Did I really just think that?)
Until I wake in the morning with a delicious ache between my legs and a
pounding headache. I’m mature enough not to regret it, but adult enough to
realize it can’t happen again.
First—I’m too old for him. He’s in his twenties for goodness sakes.
Second— I’m single for the first time in years. Like I’ve only ever dated one
guy.
Third—Shouldn’t I date multiple men before I find the one? Wasn’t that my first
mistake?
Only Joel isn’t giving up.
He’s determined to prove age is just a number—
And I’m his number one.

Louise's Review
Love knows no age limits; Olivia is now legally single, her sisters are determined to get her back in the game, when she comes face to face with her hot as sin neighbour that is way to young for her and wants nothing more than 1 night with him making him her number 2.
Joel has been biding his time for the past year, he knew that she needed time and now that he has a chance he is going to make the most of it but when she pushes him away he is taken back. Joel has other responsibilities ones that he can’t walk away from even if he knows that he being manipulated he can’t help but jump straight in and help.
Olivia has a choice to make while Joel has to stand up and take charge. Can they sort all their issues out and be the couple they both want to be?
Joel and Olivia have amazing chemistry, from the moment they were together they were meant to be regardless of what was going on in each other’s lives or age.
Laine is a new to me author and I enjoyed reading this story, I hope read more from this author in the future.
