Release Blitz & Review: Hauling Ashe

 Life might be a highway, but the last thing this grumpy silver fox expected was a road trip across the country with a ray of sunshine.

Take a road trip with this new release from L.B. Dunbar,

“Surely, my older sister has lost her mind. There is no way I’m driving her insufferable – albeit sexy silver fox – boss two thousand miles. This is my spirit trip. The Mother Road is intended to help me reclaim myself. Letting go of my past, I’m only looking forward at the path ahead of me.

But my gaze keeps wandering to the rearview mirror, wondering what secrets my grouchy passenger keeps and how that silver scruff might feel blazing a trail on hidden parts of me.”

Tucker Ashford has forgotten who he was. The former rock star – Tucker Ashe – turned social media sensation knows exactly where life took a U-turn. Problem is, he’s convinced it’s too late to circle back. When he needs a ride from Chicago to California for his daughter’s wedding, an eight-state journey with a quirky woman is more than he bargained for, but quite possibly the chance he needs to rewind time.

Mae Fox is ready to discover who she is. After two decades of marriage (gone wrong), motherhood (still going), and a not-so-small business (going quite well), she’s looking for the adventure of a lifetime – alone. However, her well-planned escape of come-what-may down the Mother Road is slightly detoured when she’s asked to haul a grumpy silver fox across the country.

The highway is a melody of cheesy sight-seeing stops, nostalgic locations, and a playlist that rocks as two lonely hearts take a road trip down the path of second chances and the possibility of love over forty.

Hint: Can be read as a standalone, but if you’ve read After Care, Midlife Crisis, and Second Chance, this is the elusive original band member who left them behind.

Trope: later in life romance; second chance romance; road trip romance; travel; dating after loss; dating after divorce

Can I just say that I love Mae. I want to be Mae. I love her courage and her spirit. I love her attitude on life and her willingness to find herself again.  She is the driving force behind this story.  

Don't ge me wrong. That broody silver fox, Tucker, is a force all of his own.  His journey was more unexpected.  He didn't realize where he was in life until he took a road trip with Mae. 

Both characters begin the journey as one person and end up very different in attitude but finding their true inner self along the way.  

Great road trip story with second chance older adults finding true love.  I hadn't read any of the previous books in this world but had no problem jumping into this story.  Loved the promise that maybe Mae's siter was finally going to find happiness as well?  We shall see. 

Great read!
