In fact, in one of them Still The One, the respective grandparents of the hero and heroine, are having a love affair. I've always gotten great comments from readers about these secondary romances. I like to show the reality of love and sex, neither of which dies just because someone hits a certain age number. Great post, Vonnie. Btw, you don't look 66.

I love to read stories that have at least one cantankerous ole' soul. I also enjoy the older person that adds a bit of stability and wisdom, and the more comically that wisdom is applied the more I love it. Highlander's Obsession is definitely on my reading list!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06839219955169379408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1625093777073151860.post-30921371865550853102014-09-27T00:11:45.126-05:002014-09-27T00:11:45.126-05:00Senior citizens add a touch of wisdom and whimsy, ...Senior citizens add a touch of wisdom and whimsy, don't you think, Beth?
