I have a chance to start again, and this time, I make the rules. A very dangerous adventure that will change my life forever.

Thankfully forty isn't too old to start an adventure, because that's exactly what I do. That is, until I learn what the house really is, something I never could've imagined. I'll be taking care of a centuries old house that called to me when I was a kid. Age is just a number, after all, and at forty I'm ready to carve my own path.Įager for a fresh start, I make a somewhat unorthodox decision and move to a tiny town in the Sierra foothills. This time, though, I plan to do things differently. But when my husband of twenty years packs up and heads for greener pastures and my son leaves for college, that's exactly what my life becomes. 'Happily Ever After' wasn't supposed to come with a do-over option. A cape wearing butler acting as the world's worst life coach. But the best part of this book was the love triangle, which is fair with a title of Magical Midlife Dating.A woman starting over. We learn more about Ivy House and the magic that awaits the one who claims it. And of course our new supernaturals have their own awkward and hilarious personalities, including Ivy House, which we learn has quite a morbid sense of humor.

We see more mage magic when her life is threatened, and are introduced to new forms of magical creatures. Jessie also gets a whole slew of male gargoyles that come to her aid and hang around her as they try to help her harness her power. We finally get to see Jessie tap into her magical potential (despite a lot of failed training). We get to see her come into her own as the master of Ivy House and access more of her magical powers as she is stalked by bounty hunter mages. (Hilarity ensues.) We get to see a head honcho gargoyle try to woo Jessie, even though he’s coming on so strong she can’t take him seriously, plus all the little tells that this courtship is driving Austin Steele mad, which lets be honest, is fun to watch. Another delightful read as we get to see Jessie navigate online dating and blind dates, while still needing to hide her real relationship to the magical acquaintances that keep showing up.
