ow many women have a fantasy about a hot younger rich man who finds you unbelievable attractive coming into your lives? If you do, this book, "A Different Kind of Forever" is for you.

I read Dee Ernt's other books, "A Slight Change of Plan" and "Better Off Without Him" and promptly got this one as well.

The story is about a divorcee, Diane Matthews, a college professor raising her three daughters. Still good friends with her ex but realizing that their marriage lacked passion she walked away years earlier. Though she is happy with her life, she feels like something is missing. What follows is an unusual meet cute with Michael Carlucci who is a member of the successful rock band, Ninety Seven. Diane feels herself pulled to Michael and feels uncomfortable with their almost 20 year age difference. Michael should be thinking about a hot young wife and having babies, instead he just wants Diane.

I really did love all parts of this novel. I sympathized with Diane and her attraction to Michael and her reluctance to fall in love with him. The two characters really do make sense together and I like that even though the sex scenes were very hot (very hot) you could also see that they really did work. I liked the entire plotting of the novel and Diane's concerns about her kids and her professional life. Michael really came alive to me too and I was surprised that Ms. Ernst was able to write him that well. Prior to this her other novels I have read were always from the point of view of the female character. I also like that Ms. Ernst has both of her characters addressing the age difference and you have Diane having pangs of inferiority and jealously while dating Michael. It made it more realistic instead of everything just working out perfectly for them both.

I would definitely recommend!
