Praise and Reviews

"I finished your book in three sittings. It's fabulous and totally mesmerizing." Freda

"I thoroughly enjoyed it (couldn't put it down); the book is thought provoking, humorous,caring, challenging and a "must read". Thanks so much for writing it" Luanne

"Whether you are familiar with online dating or not, you will be surprised and amused at the length a determined lady will go through to find romance. It seems that age is no impediment and may in truth add to the mystique as Kayla embarks on her "quest" for the right partner. Who knew that ladies in their seventies could be so sexy?" Jules
