In my many years of reading romance novels, I have never come across any story of two people who are advanced in age until I came across the book Midway of Light by Deserie LaCrosse. This book caught my attention because most romance writers concentrate on the younger generation.
The book Midway of Light by Deserie LaCrosse talks about Jennifer, a lonely but successful and wealthy woman who had lost her husband Robert two years ago. In her bid to find a lover and companion, she signs up for an online dating site. Edward is a man who scams lonely women on dating sites and makes away with their money, although he has a good job, and he is very successful. Soon, Jennifer becomes his prey. He is intrigued by her because she is intelligent and a good conversationalist. He soon discovers that she is not the usual scam material. He knows that he should stop conversing with her, but he can’t help himself. Even after she finds out that he is a scammer, they still meet and learn more about each other. Read the book to know how the characters progressed in their relationship.
This book has some positive aspects, which were quite lovely and endearing. I liked this book because it was not cliché. It broke free from the old writing rule that all romance novels must be about young people. Older people can find love and be happy in new relationships. I loved the fact that it concentrated on Edward and Jennifer. The author did a fantastic job by shedding light on how they progressed. Also, I enjoyed the emphasis that true love is indeed the most powerful emotion. The author depicted a man who has never loved a woman fall in love and change for the better, and the usual things he does become repulsive to him. At the beginning of the book, he was not likable, but by the end, he became my favorite. It shows that people can change. I could not find any error in this book; it was exceptionally well edited.
My rating for this book is 3 out of 4 stars because I enjoyed the storyline. It is a new and refreshing take on romance, which teaches that nobody is too old to fall in love. I recommend Midway of Light to people of eighteen years and above because the sex scenes are not suitable for children.

Love can be beautiful, amazing, and bright. It can also be painful, hurtful, and dark. Life is not a bed of roses; life can sometimes be sad and brutal. What matters is how hard we try to fight the darkness and what we would do for someone we love unconditionally. This book, Midway of Darkness, which is a sequel to Midway of Light, written by Deserie LaCrosse, sends this message across.
Midway of Darkness follows the love story of Edward and Jennifer, two advanced-in-years lovers. Edward and Jennifer were in love; they planned to get married and live happily. Edward shows that he can go to any extent to protect Jennifer and keep her safe. He also tries to learn domestic things around the house to help her with household chores. Her charm smote him. Jennifer also did very thoughtful things for him and supported him as much as she could. Unfortunately, problems arise, and the couple breaks up. Read the book to know if Edward and Jennifer’s love will survive their issues and shortcomings.
This book has some positive aspects. To start with, the book is something everyone can relate to. LaCrosse did not paint Edward and Jennifer’s world to be a perfect, unrealistic life. Edward and Jennifer could be anyone. Also, we see the kind of love the couple has for each other and what extent they are willing to go for the other person; for instance, when Jennifer is kidnapped, she says nothing to implicate Edward, choosing instead to bear the brunt of it all. Edward also goes to extreme measures to keep Jennifer away from his illegal life and business. Also, this book teaches that anyone can find love. Edward and Jennifer are not the typical people who fall in love. They are older people who can love and also make mistakes because they are human. Also, there were no errors in this book, which makes me know that the book was exceptionally well edited.
My rating for this book is 3 out of 4 stars. This book was fascinating and humane. It was a book one could relate to. Also, the fact that the characters were older people really endeared it to me.
I would recommend this book to adults because the sexual content and use of swear words are only suitable for older people. Also, people who would love to read something different, a romance story between adults, would have a fantastic time reading this book.
