About this eBook

 You know those stories – where guy meets girl, they fall for each other, life does its best to tear them apart, but in the end, love conquers all and they embark on their life together?

Yeah? Well, this isn’t one of those stories. This is more like some old country song. A song about a man and a woman who’ve already lived through great highs and lows. A man and a woman who’ve reached their fifties and who, despite humble beginnings have achieved great things in different ways.

He’s had an amazing career as one of country music’s biggest names. She’s raised a daughter and given her everything she needed to go out and succeed in the world.

They’ve both given their all to their chosen path in life, and when those paths cross, two lonely hearts finally see their chance at true happiness.

It’s hardly a spoiler to say that an old country song might end with the sun setting over two rocking chairs on a front porch. You’ll have to pick up your copy of this heart-warming romance today to find out if Marianne and Clay’s story ends that way.


This book is intended for readers aged 18+

Love SJ McCoy's books. Very disappointed in this one. The passion and chemistry missed the mark. Although several of her other books have a wonderful plot line and great character development, this one fell short. Seeing other characters from previous books was a wonderful addition. The fact that this couple was a little older with kids married, didn't mean the author needed to keep referring to them as "old" and several references to when Clay would die. Many other authors have approached the subject of older couples dating after divorce or kids and have done a wonderful job. Wished SJ McCoy would take note that just because they are older, they are not on their deathbed and give them an amazing storyline too.

Another stellar book by this author. Have read every one from each of the Series. I really appreciated how this one held out with old fashioned values to allow the relationship to develop with a strong and healthy foundation before moving on. Looking forward to the next book no matter what series it's from.

About the author

Hi, I'm SJ, a coffee addict, lover of chocolate and drinker of good red wines. I'm a lost soul and a hopeless romantic. Reading and writing are necessary parts of who I am. Though perhaps not as necessary as coffee! I can drink coffee without writing, but I can't write without coffee.

I grew up loving romance novels, my first boyfriends were book boyfriends, but life intervened, as it tends to do, and I wandered down the paths of non fiction for many years. My life changed completely a couple of years ago and I returned to Romance to find my escape.

I write 'Sweet N Steamy' stories because to me there is enough angst and darkness in real life. My favorite romances are happy escapes with a focus on fun, friendships and happily-ever-afters, just like the ones I write.

These days I live in beautiful Montana, the last best place. If I'm not reading or writing you'll find me just down the road in the park - Yellowstone. I have deer, eagles and the occasional bear for company, and I like it that way :0)
