10-Code by Freya BarkerMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Maya Berger is a 41 year old divorced mother of three boys, bringing them up single-handed after her loser husband left her five years ago and hasn't been in contact since. Taking her middle son Liam to football (soccer) on a Saturday morning she runs into FBI agent Dylan Barnes, a single father, also chaperoning his son to football. Maya feels a strong attraction to the young FBI agent but at eight years her junior and gorgeous to boot he is way out of her league.
Dylan may be eight years younger but he knows what he wants and the funny, feisty, beautiful woman sitting next to him in the football stands, it doesn't hurt that their sons play computer games online in the same group.
After five years of silence Maya's ex-husband starts calling, trying to make contact with his sons and threatening Maya, Dylan is happy to step in. Then Dylan and his team get drawn into investigating a crime which directly affects Maya and her sons.
Love, love, love Freya Barker, read this latest book in less than a day. I have to say I did guess the identity of the 'criminal' but thought something else would have featured in the climax, so not obvious (to me). I guess Freya Barker has sons, the vivid descriptions of living with three sons in the house really resonated and made me laugh. Dylan was just wonderful, the sort of guy every woman needs.
Overall, another great romance featuring 40-ish heroines and heroes with a bit of suspense.
