Flirting with Fifty by Jane Porter
This story starts when Paige is just gearing up for the fall session of the college math classes she teaches.
A proposal of a new venture comes forth where she will be working with Jack King-she knew a man by that name back when she went to France in her older teen years.
She wanted others to pitch in as she has enough work on her plate but she's the one that will be collaborating with Jack. It turns out she met him again at the Dean's party for Jack.
It is the same Jack and she can't get over she'll be working with him. They coordinate their schedules and classes and the class runs smoothly with them.
Story also follows Jacks son and Paige's girls and their life events. As an older person Paige has no ties keeping her in one place so when asked she accepts to go with Jack to a seminar he's giving.
She is jealous of the ex-girlfriend at the seminar who's all lover Jack.
She's in her own cabin and I love the scene where she spends the night with him, but no sex. This is precious to me, not having to be assumed sex is that important. It will come naturally.
He can't understand why she won't or can't acknowledge their prior night together in France....
Nature scenes are so real. She gets time to herself and then time with Jack for meals and to hear him at the seminar.
Their next assignment together is to travel to a community in South Africa with the students where they will teach and help others. They are so eager to learn math and she's the perfect teacher.
He can help the location also with his knowledge of endemic atmosphere. One of Paige's daughters moves back to CA and moves in with her and she is introduced to Jack's son who can advance her career and they stay in touch as she pursues her career goals.
Love how the kids don't really interfere with their parents and they know they are around and ready to help if needed.
Love travel, relationships, slow pace of lovemaking, scenery and good work they do for others.
Received this review copy from the Berkley Publishing via NetGalley and this is my honest opinion.
