Senior dating and reality TV mix!
Hadley Mayhew is a wedding planner. She is asked by her mother to help her find a man! As strange as this was, when Hadley shares this situation with her client, the concept of a reality show comes to life. Both Hadley and her mother are now involved in the show “Love in the Third Act” about senior dating.
I enjoyed a book that entertained the concept that seniors also want companionship! It is a refreshing aspect of life and love that not many explore. At the same time, the second chance romance with Hadley was fun!
Thank you to Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review an ARC of this book and I am providing my honest review.

I had a hard time staying interested in this book.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC from NetGalley.
I have a confession to make I could not finish this book. I HATED Kevin. I found him a jerk and an ass and thats me being nice. The writing was alright, not the best but definitely readable and I liked Hadley, but Kevin was a jerk beyond anything and I couldn't keep reading about him.
Hadley is a wedding coordinator and she is planning Kevin's aunts wedding. Her aunt is in the reality show business and Kevin is taping the show as a gift to his aunt. Kevin has also been blacklisted from other shows because well I am not the only one who thinks he is a jerk. During a wedding meeting his aunt discovers H's mom wants to date and wants her help and she thinks this would make great tv so she wants Kev to run it but he refuses because he doesn't want to work with H.
Why not with H? well because they were besties in college and he thought he loved her, then he slept with this woman and they got drunk and decided to get engaged, and Hadley had the audacity to tell him his fiancee was cheating on him. So he refused to talk to Hadley and was mad at her, he was so hurt about losing her (Hadley, not the fiancee) that he doesn't want to risk that pain again. Make sense? no it doesn't not even a little. And what a jerk.
Now maybe the author redeems him, I don't know but I could not read anymore. He was a huge jerk even years later.
