Meet Phillip & Jayne Miller, original homeowners on Juniper Court. He's a successful attorney; she's a flourishing blogger. Head over heels in love and approaching 50, their relationship needs a little jump start. With the Miller's twin girls married and moved away from Sunview, Phillip and Jayne decide it's time to focus on resuscitating their relationship, complete with spicing up their neglected sex life. When competition between the two sets in, it becomes a full out game to see who can one-up the other trying new things. Ah, yes. Life on Juniper Court gets interesting... and sometimes embarrassing. Be careful what you wish for and where you stick your nose. Sometimes keeping up with the Joneses--or in this case, the Sullivans can have consequences.

My Thoughts:
This is a book that I actually had to listen to more than once before writing this review. One reason for that was because the first time I listened thoughts of my parents kept filtering through. That wasn't good for either the author or for myself. I mean just ew. Don't get me wrong I loved my parents but putting them in the roles of Phillip and Jayne was just so wrong. So I had to detach myself from that picture and relisten while trying to picture someone else in those roles.
If you need a short book to listen to, and one that will get you to laugh, than this would be a good choice. Our couple shows that just because you get to a certain age doesn't mean that you can't enjoy your spouse in "that" way. You can still have fun with each other. In going into this book I didn't realize that it was part of a series. That might have been a good thing because it let me know that this can be considered a standalone. But by the end it left me wondering are there more out there or are there more stories yet to come. And it certainly made my yard work much more enjoyable.
No disrespect to the narrator but she was perfect as Jayne. After listening to her I don't know that I would be able to picture anyone else in that role. It also left me looking forward to checking out more of her work. As for the author, I enjoyed getting this introduction into Ms. Theriot's writing style. So I can safely say that I will probably be seeing what else she has to offer.
