Thirty-five and Single Kindle Edition
What can go wrong when you’re getting divorced from your high school sweetheart, it's your thirty-fifth birthday and you have too much to drink? Throw in the gorgeous neighbor who comes to the rescue when you can't seem to open your apartment door after all the alcohol and end up taking a drunken slip and slid across the floor. Then you look up into his gorgeous face and forget all the reasons why it’s a bad idea to hook-up with said twenty-something neighbor. In fact, it’s a fan-freaking-tastic idea. Now let the games begin because this is Olivia's life: - interfering sisters, the ex, co-workers… and Joel, her way too sexy, too young, but oh so hot neighbor. Wanting to explore single life, Olivia fights her growing connection with Joel. Only he’s is determined to prove to her that age is just a number and she’s is his number one.

When you walk in on your high school sweetheart in bed with a woman who is not you, that messes your heart as well as your mind!
And when your 20 something neighbour rocks your world that just blows everything out of the water!
This was the perfect sassy balance of sweet and flirty, a fabulous way to escape into a world of romance without boundaries and barriers. I always fall deeply for the amazing characters Terrie E Lane creates and Joel was definitely no different exactly the opposite of what you would expect but absolutely perfect for this story in every way!
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 August 2019An older woman and a younger man romance.
Olivia is 35, divorced from an ex-husband who cheated on her and she's now finding herself again as a single woman, of course, Olivia finds her friendly 27-year-old neighbor Joel who she fast became friends with very attractive but because he is younger she doesn't let her mind go there, the problem is her sisters are pushing her to enjoy the single life more and move on and Joel believes age is a number and he wants Olivia, in fact, he makes it his mission to change her mind.
Thirty-five and single is a hot, funny and flirty read with plenty going on in the mix, disastrous dates, hotness and an ex that won't let go. I enjoyed it all. I adored both characters, I laughed, swooned, the story was hot in all the right places, it was a perfectly balanced read with a beautiful hea.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 July 2019This is the story of Olivia and Joel. Olivia is 35 and getting divorced from the only man she has ever known. Joel is the hot, young, neighbour who has become a close friend of Olivia’s.
After drinking too much on her birthday, Olivia has one hell of a night with Joel and you can instantly feel their connection. Unfortunately, Olivia is struggling with the age difference and although she has feelings for Joel, she pushes him away (a lot).
I really enjoyed Thirty-Five and Single. The story flowed, the characters were so relatable and their relationship was everything from heart-breaking to heart-warming. I love Terri E. Laine’s writing skills, you can always feel the emotion in her books.
I only wish the book was longer. I wasn’t ready for the book to end and I read it in one day!
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 July 2019Olivia never imagined that at 35 she would be divorced and single, and bring into the mix interfering sisters and a hot younger neighbor, Joel, and life is about to change. This is a beautifully written story which is humorous, witty, sweet, passionate, and sexy with tad angst, twist and complications along the way, and this is an intriguing page turner, which had me hooked throughout. I highly recommend this talented authors’ work for all.

5.0 out of 5 stars ! Great book
Great read, couldn’t put it down read the whole book in one night. Makes me want to read about the whole family. The characters are very likable and there is a happy ending. It’s a winning combination.

4.0 out of 5 stars 3.5 Stars – A lovely story with much more depth than expected.
Although I’m usually not a fan of age-gap stories, I wasn’t bothered by the age difference in this book because both characters were already adults and the gap was not even a decade. It was also mostly a lighthearted, easy and fast read. I enjoyed it a lot but it took me a while to get into it at first.
The Story:
Instead of starting a family with her husband like Olivia planned to do, she found herself childless with thirty-five and divorced to a cheater. After her birthday celebration with her sisters, she drunk-stumbles into the arms of her hot young neighbor who more than brought her home safely. Despite her attraction to him and her new state of being single Olivia can’t give in to Joel because of their age difference. But he doesn’t care that she was older than him and is determined to make her see that age is just an insignificant number when it comes to feelings.
Thoughts:
Joel was sweet and such a humble person. I liked that we got to know his family and got to admire even more how he made something of himself without the help he could have gotten.
While Olivia’s story was rather predictable, I was surprised about other secondary characters and their role in this book. What I really loved was how her ex-husband wasn’t painted as the bad guy despite his faults, cheating and lying ways. Which sounds worse written like that than it was, because despite what he did I understood his hurt. Although I didn’t approve of his actions I felt for him in a way. The same goes for Calli, a person who had a tough life and who was used by others but although she didn’t accept the offered help and may have had it worse because of it and hurt others in the process, my heart ached for what she had been through.
So, I hope I didn’t spoil too much now but I just had to tell you how much I loved that there was more to the story than the obvious romance part and that it wasn’t all black and white. Sometimes there are no drawers or labels that fit and people have to adapt to situations just as they come.

3.0 out of 5 stars Olivia and Joel were the sweetest couple❤️
Olivia was a 35 year old woman who were still struggling to move on after separating from her husband and childhood love who cheated on her. I could feel and angst and heartbreak that Olivia went through. Can you imagine your first love (first and only everything) cheating on you multiple times? Corey was not portrayed as an evil ex. He was a sad and desperate man who went through with unforgivable actions. It would have been easy for this author to turn this book into a second chance/redemption romance. I’m very glad she took another route❤️
Joel was the younger tattooed hottie who had been getting to know Olivia for about a year as friends. He loved her but was always too afraid to admit it. He also had quite a bit of drama going on in his personal life. Joel was no typical playboy. He was strong, loyal and incredible sweet. A perfect hero that Olivia needed.
I understand that Olivia felt the need to date after her separation because of her lack of experience. However, she kept thinking about Joel the whole time. She was way too caught up on being a cougar (I mean come on we are talking only 7 year difference people). I also wish the sex scenes had a bit more chemistry/intensity.
No spoilers but one thing in the epilogue really shocked me. I did not expect to hear that in what I considered a light hearted book. Otherwise It was exactly what I needed.
I hope the authors plans to write stories for the other brothers❤️❤️

This book is THE BOMB! I absolutely loved it - there was a brief time I was afraid I wouldn’t get my HEA, but I did and it couldn’t have gone any better!
