Not Too Late: A GenX Romance
About
AVAILABLE FOR PREORDER NOW, RELEASING APRIL 28, 2026.
Amanda Deaton left her hometown right after high school, looking for adventure. But now, thirty-five years later, her mom needs her, and this GenX nomad has come home. Bellevue, Kentucky has changed--they even have a Thai restaurant! And here where Amanda least expected it, a new kind of adventure might be looking for her.
Her yoga instructor, Chris, is hot. Like, making her stammer over her words, making her stare at him across a crowded sub shop hot. And wonder of wonders, he seems to be staring and stammering at her, too. But how does he know her high school nickname? Any guy that good-looking she would surely have remembered.
But just like Bellevue, Chris has changed a lot. Turbo, the skinny freshman trackstar, sweet but entirely unmemorable, has grown into a gorgeous, caring, confident man with a thriving career and a grown-up daughter. What hasn’t changed is the torch he still carries for his high school crush.
Chris has dreamed of a life with Amanda since he was fourteen years old. At age 54, Amanda has never really given away her whole heart. Could their timing finally be right?
Praise for this book
How do I put into words how much I enjoyed Not Too Late? This was the breath of fresh air I needed, no drama & no complications. This read was short & sweet and so great for me!
After moving back home to help her mom after hip surgery, Amanda walks into a yoga class and is met by an attractive instructor, Chris, who seems to be flirting with her. Little does she know, Amanda and Chris actually went to high school together and he has basically been in love with her since he was 13. Old feelings resurface while new ones are created and it is so sweet.
Other than mentioning the past, this book takes place mostly over a week so it is very fast paced. Despite the main characters being 50+, they both come off as so young and fun and I smiled a few times at their interactions. I recommend this for anyone looking for a quick second chance romance read!
