*******************************************
SEX SOMETIMES
READ BY ANN MARIE LEE
BY JULES MOULIN
ABOUT THE AUDIO BOOK:
When a buttoned-up professor and her unbuttoned daughter fall for the same irresistible man, a delightful, subversive comedy begins. . . .Life isn’t easy for single mother Ally Hughes. Teaching at Brown, her class load is huge and her boss is a menace. At home, she contends with a critical mother, a falling-down house, and a daughter who never misses a beat. Between taking care of the people she loves, teaching full time, and making ends meet, Ally doesn’t have time for a man. She doesn’t date. She’s not into flings. But then she meets Jake, an eager student, young in years but old in soul, who challenges his favorite professor to open up her life, and her heart, to love. It doesn’t work. In fact, his urging backfires.
Ten years later, Ally’s still single. Jake reappears and surprises her in a brand-new role: He’s dating Ally’s now-grown daughter. In this hilarious, heartrending tale, Ally is finally forced to concede (not only to herself) that an independent, “liberated” woman can still make room in her life for love.

MY THOUGHTS:
Thanks to Richard at Penguin Random House for the audio book and to Danielle for the advanced copy. This makes my reading/listening to ALLY HUGHES HAS SEX SOMETIMES an easy start today. I am excited from all the good reviews I have read and looking forward to something a little lighter to make me smile and have a good laugh. The title will be released next week on August 25 and so be on the watch for this one. I believe it is going to be a huge end of summer hit!
