Older Woman Silhouette Special Edition Cheryl Reavis 9780373244454 Books

I will add my enthusiastic well done to the other reviews. This is a sweet love story between a wounded paratrooper and a nurse. Of course she tries to make him see all the reasons why there can be no "you and me" . Cal Doyle has learned the hard way that you can't make someone love you; his parents and sister weren't there for him. Thankfully Pop Doyle gave him guidance and a good foundation to live by. Kate Meehan had a first marriage that ended badly and a current boyfriend on the way out. She has three sisters who are concerned when this next door good looking neighbor starts hanging around. The dialogue is funny and realistic between Cal & Meehan; Mrs Bee and her church ladies also have opinions. If you want just a sweet love story with a truly good ending you'll love this.

Older Woman Silhouette Special Edition Cheryl Reavis 9780373244454 Books Reviews

Author Cheryl Reavis' has mesmerizing voice and uses it to great effect in THE OLDER WOMAN. Bugs narrates the story, either through internal dialogues or from his point of view, allowing the reader a shared intimacy and sense of immediacy. His career military past creates an interesting dialogue as it is riddled with the idioms of that lifestyle. Bug's self-honesty and persistence make him a strong, memorable hero. Kate's reticence to become involved and to reveal her own story lends the narrative a strong underlying tension. I admit to a personal connection to her story, as well. I share the same number of years between myself and my life partner, and while the age difference does not prevent the relationship, it does give cause for thought. Secondary character Mrs. Bee provides a bit of comic humor and an occasional dose of wisdom. Indeed, Reavis has a gift for injecting dry humor that frequently kept me in smiles. Very highly recommended.
Every time I open another of Ms Reavis' books, I think there is no way this one can be as good as the last. And so far, every time I've been wrong. This is such a touching, moving love story. I suspect that I will be back to read it again - probably more than once. There are thousands of books out there, many of them really great stories, but not all of them stay with you. I could give you a recap of the plot, but I'm sure others have already done so. But I am going to say, DO BUY THIS BOOK and you won't regret it. You will fall in love with Calvin Doyle and ache with him, for both the pain of his healing body and for the yearning of his heart. You'll love Kate Meehan, too, for her strength, and the vulnerability she tries so hard to hide. Thank you Ms Reavis for another heartwarming, story that actually made me cry - I don't cry at weddings and there aren't many books that bring me to tears ether, but this one did.
THE OLDER WOMAN refers to Nurse Kate Meehan. She helped 'Specialist 4' Cal Doyle survive a helicopter crash after performing a mission. He was only one of two survivors. At the opening of the story the other man, Lt. McGraw, had just married Cal's female roommate and someone he thought he was in love with.

The soldier is now Kate's next door neighbor. She is an older, stable no-nonsense woman who has a few heartaches of her own. Cal turns the tables and attempts to be there for her after she is dumped by her boyfriend.

A friendship develops but Cal soon wants more. Kate is leery and encourages Cal to find someone his own age. He is 32 and she is roughly nine years older than him. He isn't concerned about the matter but she worries it could cause problems.

This older Silhouette has the romance build slowly. Cal and Kate are damaged, both inside and out. The author, a former nurse herself, helps mold these two people with realism. With some interesting secondary characters, the story moves along at a fair pace. Predictable in some ways, it was a sweet and gentle romance.

*I didn't realize it at the time but THE OLDER WOMAN is part of a series. It can easily be read alone.*

Well so far, 3 books in and each one is just better than the last. I LOVE Ms. Reavis' heroes. OMG what guys they are. This one was so different. The hero is a young paratrooper, injured when his helicopter crashes. he and the pilot are the only survivors and both are badly injured. The heroine is the nurse on his ward. She has the tough job of helping these guys heal. Tender loving care but rough as well. She helps him get an apartment off base where he can heal on his own. She just happens to live next door.

She is older than he is so she keeps it strictly business. She helps him without taking over or keeping him from doing for himself. He is slowly falling for her but she has nothing but friendship on her mind and helping him in his recovery. His landlady plays a big part in this story and we have all known someone just like her. A loving soul that wants only the best for everyone. She is a very wise woman. Her church friends add to the mix. All a lot of fun. There is even a cat that adds a lot to the story.

I loved this hero. He is a young enlisted man, so he doesn't have a lot of money or really anything else. she is a nurse, making her own way in the world. She owns the house next door and works at the military hospital. This story is all about the two of them with everyone else just playing minor roles. No bad guy, etc. just their love story. It was great. I loved it and highly recommend it. He is a very different hero and one you will definitely fall for. Great read. I loved it.
I really like this book. In fact I am reading it again. It is simple, a very good read and in some instances thought provoking. Would recommend to anyone who would like to actually be able to read a whole book without having to skip over sections that make one feel uncomfortable.
It's always interesting to ready why a man would fall for an 'older' woman, other than the obvious - they are far more interesting! But the PTSD and military recovery, a nurse working at the VA, the whole thing, is somewhat appealing. If you want a simple read and a simple story, this is a good one. The 'landlady' is wonderful! But you have to read the book to find out why!
I will add my enthusiastic well done to the other reviews. This is a sweet love story between a wounded paratrooper and a nurse. Of course she tries to make him see all the reasons why there can be no "you and me" . Cal Doyle has learned the hard way that you can't make someone love you; his parents and sister weren't there for him. Thankfully Pop Doyle gave him guidance and a good foundation to live by. Kate Meehan had a first marriage that ended badly and a current boyfriend on the way out. She has three sisters who are concerned when this next door good looking neighbor starts hanging around.
