The Midlife Crisis of Paul Revere
by Ian Fletcher

In Ian Fletcher’s second book, Paul Revere has achieved an enviable situation in life. He is doing well in his job. His children are grown and gainfully employed. He works, hunts, fishes and occasionally he and his wife, Gwen make love. Life is good until Gwen develops a severe case of “Empty Nest Syndrome.” All of a sudden she is dissatisfied with everything in her life, including her husband who doesn’t “get it.” Before he knows it they are separated and Paul’s life is badly out of joint. When he moves out of their home, a lovely co-worker named Jennifer finds out he is available. She invites him to a home cooked meal where he discovers that life as a middle-aged single man is not so bad after all. Then Molly, a divorcee who attends his church, professes a long standing crush on him. And, Nancy the realtor who finds him a place to live also expresses a need for his romantic attentions. Also Caroline, his tall, blonde and elegant former back-yard neighbor develops a keen interest in him. All of a sudden Paul has a full schedule. As time passes, things change and Paul’s enjoyment of his rakish existence begins to pale. Then he meets Sarah and his life is forever changed. This is a steamy romantic comedy told with great wit, sophistication and subtle humor.

Reviews:

Paul Revere – no not “that” Paul Revere – has been married for 25 years. He is gainfully employed in work he enjoys. His three grown children are self -supporting. He hunts, fishes, maintains two vehicles, cares for his dogs, and performs all routine maintenance work on his home. Life is good to Paul and he assumes his wife, Gwen, feels the same. Gwen does not feel that life is good. She is unhappy and she is sure it is Paul’s fault. The majority of romance novels are written from the woman’s point of view. It is extremely refreshing to find a story written from a man’s perspective. The really unique angle in this adventure is that the actual trauma is endured by someone other than the main character. Paul becomes a victim of circumstances and proceeds to move forward with his life quite capably. The author threw in another fun twist by having women, several of them, running after one man, instead of the other way around. Paul’s escapades are told with a gentle humor that keeps the reader eagerly turning pages from start to finish. This was a fun read and a pleasant way to spend an evening.
