I'm Jacqueline Laurens--Jack to all my friends--and eighteen months ago if you looked at my life on paper you'd think it was fabulous: gorgeous husband Daniel, venture capitalist, eleven years married, two kids, big house. The not so good part? I discovered Daniel's affair at the worst possible time.
Now Jack's ex-husband has the second house and the Porsche, while she's got the two kids and a whopping broken heart. Her best friend's antidote: a spontaneous girl's weekend to Hawaii. But when the flu ruins their plans, Jack finds herself facing her 40th birthday in paradise--alone. Then she meets Kai, a sexy, much much-younger surf instructor, who reawakens her fun side. Surprisingly, after their sizzling weekend ends, the calls continue, making everyone back home wonder what Jack's gotten herself into. Now, pulled in all directions, a surprise forces her to reevalute her life, but will she sacrifice her happy new relationship for what other people think is right?

Synopsis

He got the second home and the Porsche. She got the kids and a broken heart. Now Jackie, post-divorce and heading toward the big four-oh, is on vacation in sunny Hawaii and staring down her upcoming birthday-alone. But not for long. She's soon falling for Kai, her gorgeous, much younger surf instructor, and the wild passionate fling they have becomes the biggest surprise of Jackie's life.

Back home in Seattle, Jackie has to struggle with single parenthood...and memories of Kai. He hasn't forgotten her. Yet thousands of miles of ocean-not to mention an age difference that feels even wider-separate them. And, of course, her friends disapprove. When a choice must be made, can she, will she risk everything for her chance at happiness?

`	Marilyn Shoemaker , June 22, 2006 (view all comments by Marilyn Shoemaker) Flirting with Forty is a must read for all women whether single or in a relationship as one learns though the main character?s journey to ?be all that you can be?. It?s a story so profound it will have you laughing and crying at the same time. It?s a story of dreams, hope and learning to be comfortable with one?s self. Once I began the journey with the author, Jane Porter I honestly couldn?t put it down. I saw so much of myself as a mother, as a wife and as a woman. Just reading the story made me want to want more for me! As the character Jackie points out sometimes we loose ourselves along the way. We get so caught up in life that we loose ourselves and we blindly accept fate. So, what?s wrong with taking a chance, having an adventure, discovering your self, receiving pleasure? Absolutely nothing! This book is not just about falling in love; it?s about relationships, friendships and finding the courage to grow. As Jane points out, ?growing up doesn?t have to mean growing old?. Amen Jane Porter again has outdone herself with this incredible story for women of all ages. It?s personally given me the courage to begin anew, to explore options and yes, and ?to be all that I can be?!
