Attorney Kathryne Sheldon is the senior partner in their high powered firm. However, after tolerating her spouse Doug’s cheating for over two decades, she has had enough and divorces him. Kathryne also needs a break so as she turns forty-four; she decides to visit her estranged father Hank Sheldon, who left her the law firm when he abruptly moved to Taos, New Mexico.
On the Internet she learns of property for sale next to her dad’s luxurious Silver Creek Lodge. John Hawkins needs money to pay his second mortgage that he took out to pay his late wife’s medical bills or he will lose his entire ranch; he puts up a parcel for sale as encouraged by his brother-in-law Norman. When he and his buyer meet they are attracted to one another, but neither are aware her ex is putting the unethical and perhaps illegal squeeze on Hawkins as he has a buyer waiting in the wings.
This is an enjoyable contemporary romance between two previously married forty something individuals with radically different lifestyles. The story line is fast-paced, but everyone except Doug is extremely nice; too much so leading to the difficultly to accept the long estrangement between Kathryne and her dad. Still IT’S NEVER TOO LATE lives up to its apropos title as this is true when it comes to relationships.
