About this ebook
A sexy and sparkling later-in-life contemporary romance about a woman who leaps out of her comfort zone and takes a chance on love by New York Times bestselling author Jane Porter.
Paige Newsom is finally at a place in her life where she’s comfortable. She loves her job as a college professor in Southern California, lives close enough to her mother to visit her regularly, and has three daughters who are flourishing in their own careers. Paige has no plans to upend her life again after her divorce eight years ago, but she’s about to embark on a new adventure: co-teaching a course that includes a three-week international field study.
Paige can think of a dozen reasons why she shouldn’t go, one being a dazzling Australian biologist who will be teaching alongside her. Professor Jack King is charismatic, a world traveler, and more like Indiana Jones than Indiana Jones, all of which unsettles Paige, who prides herself on being immune to any man’s charms. She isn’t looking for love, and it turns out, neither is he. But as the two co-professors lead the rigorous program together, first on campus, then in beautiful Tanzania, their biggest challenge will be working closely together while resisting the undeniable chemistry they feel when they’re with each other.

I really enjoyed Paige and Jack’s story. Seeing older characters face challenges to find a forever love is so refreshing. Jane’s wonderful writing showed the chemistry between the characters and the love they have for their children. Flirting with Fifty was everything I expected and more and i can’t wait for the next book in the series! You can never go wrong with a book by Jane Porter!

Add this to your Beach Read TBR! Hot Aussie professor, check. Slow-burn romance, check. Set in Southern California with travels to Montana and Africa, check. This second chance romance throws professors Paige and Jack together, unexpectedly, thirty years after a brief romantic encounter. A seasoned romance with all the feels. This first book in the series delivers. Can't wait for book two. **received an ARC from netgalley**
