I just finished a wonderful novel by Roseanne Dowell. Geratric Rebels is what some of we older gals have been looking for. Although it's nice to read about young love and sex, putting myself into the heroine's POV is difficult because the mirror reminds me every day that I'm past that time in my life. It's about time someone put a little age and a few wrinkles on the main characters, and Ms. Dowell managed to add all the ingredients to keep me turning pages. I loved it!
Geratric Rebels put life in realistic perspective, showing the reader that a heroine and hero don't have to be young with perky boobs or a muscular six pack to be still excited about life and one another. When Mike Powell and Elsa Logan meet in a nursing home that has become their fate, they join forces to make lemonade out of lemons, and enjoy falling for one another while showing the world they're not ready to retire from life. What can a couple of old fogies do, you ask? You'll just have to read for yourself, and I'm sure you'll be glad you did. Of course if you aren't over forty, you might just find it unbelievable. *smile* Like the old saying goes, there may be snow on the roof but that doesn't mean you can't stoke a fire in the chimney.
You can find this book on Amazon offered by Books We Love, Ltd. Kudos to Roseanne Dowell who manages to make all of her books believable and entertaining.

ReplyDeleteGreat review, Ginger!
Hi Ginger,
ReplyDeleteI am an old gal (not to be confused with an old bag), I love the idea of the book because it shows that no matter how old we are, we are never too old for love.
Cheers
Margaret
This is my favorite of Ro Dowell's books to date. There's no way not to read this book and fall in love with Mike and Elsa!
