NEW RELEASE


Cougars - Claire Irvin (2011)

When Caroline Walker finds out Les, her husband of more than 20 years, has been cheating on her, her perfect world crumbles. Now a single mother of a teenage girl Rachel, and a successful (a.k.a. busy!) business owner, Caroline is sexy, fit, and after a pep talk from her best friend Maryanne - she's ready to party. Maryanne shows Caroline a life full of glitz, glamour, parties, and best of all, younger men. This book's main focus is relationships: Caroline's mother-daughter relationship with Rachel, her relationship with her best friends Esther and Maryanne, her relationships with her employees at work, and most intriguing, her relationship with a 19-year-old male-model named Adam. As Caroline looks deeper into her relationships she finds that things aren't always what she thought they were, divorce has given her a new outlook on life. Then everyone's world is flipped upside-down with the announcement of a pregnancy. An interesting and funny read, I couldn't put it down. I am looking forward to Claire Irvin's next book. (AV)
