Late Bloomer (Man from Yesterday Book 4) by Barbara Lohr
This is Brody and Carolyn's story.

What an amazing May/December story where the women is older. Carolyn taught Brody during his senior year and her first year teaching high school. It's been ten years and ran into each other when traveling to see her grandmother. Brody is no longer a high school boy. He is all man. I loved his character. There was so much depth to Brody. It was fun and sweet watching their relationship change.

Some seemed concern about the student/teacher relationship. There was nothing inappropriate between them during the time Brody was her student. It's been ten years since they have seen each other so you are talking about a woman in her early thirties and a man in his late twenties getting together. Ten years changes a lot of things. The story was done very tastefully.

This was a fun and entertaining read. I really enjoyed Brody and Carolyn's story. A May/December romance with humor, chemistry, and lots of emotion with the woman being the older one. We need more stories like Late Bloomer.

Loved this story. Brody and Carolyn made a lovely couple. Yes, she was skeptical of him being a younger man by just a few years. They got to know each other better and fell in love. Carolyn also spent time with her grandmother and her boyfriend. But when an old girlfriend of Brody’s came into the picture, Carolyn didn’t trust Brody. She wouldn’t talk to or see him and flew home. Brody finally flew flewb to see her and they talked things out. Now you hav3 to read this book to see what happened.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good, sweet story...

Although this is book four, the story stands on its own, but it really was great having read the first three stories. Late Bloomer is about old…let’s say acquaintances…who meet up after time has moved on. Carolyn was a first year high school teacher to Brody’s senior student. They meet up at baggage claim, at an airport of all places, when Carolyn comes to visit her Grandmother, far away from the high school class where they first met. Their first “meeting” is funny and sweet and made me laugh. No spoilers from me!

It’s a rough start, considering Carolyn is very cautious and Brody has changed, grown up, into a “hotty”. And Mama V is about the hippest “grandma” I’ve ever met. Reading their story, and journey, had ups and downs and the cutest bit is how they learn how to make their relationship change from teacher/student into adults and a relationship. All in all, a really good story that will keep you reading until you read ‘The End’!

4.0 out of 5 stars Cute, fun, adorable
Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2018
I enjoyed this story from the plot to the emotions, I really liked how it was an older woman and younger man. I bet all of us has had a crush on a teacher in school, and I am guessing a few might have even hooked up with one in college, maybe even a fewer have made that relationship work. The author does a great job of how trying that can be from the day you met until the day you met again and remembering just all the pranks you pulled to even how child like you were at times. She gives you conflict of not only the here and now but things that have happened to you in the past that makes you whatt you are today, along with facing your fears and overcoming them.

Oh Carolyn remembers him well from her first year of teaching, the play boy, prankster, the funny boy he was and could always make her smile. Now she is left wondering if he has changed and just what those changes will mean to her. I really liked this character she is strong but has her weakness. There are things in her past that makes her question every man, as well as things she fears.

Brody has always had a crush on Carolyn so much, so he did just about anything to get her attention in class. I can’t say that was a good impression he made. There is no doubt he has grown up but one must ask is he still a player or is he ready to settle down to the one woman and if so where does Carolyn stand in all this.

I loved how these two met again, the fun and humor as they start their journey together. There are many laughs and smiles throughout but also some very trying times. I really loved how he helped her work over her fear of heights. My heart broke for her when she told the story about how her mother tried to help her. I had mixed feeling about them but her mother pulled me around by the end. The characters and supporting characters were great. I just adored her grandmother how strong she was but my heart broke for her when Howard told of her recovery. This is really a very powerful emotional read as well as humorous and fun. It was a story that held my attention from the first page. At times my mind wondered a little but the author always pulled me back. I did think the ending was rushed but it is such a sweet wonderful ending it is easy to over look the rushed part.

There are a lot of issues that have to be worked out, the age different, Carolyn’s hang-ups (there are more than one), other men and women, friends and those that will be lost. There is a very touching scene about a military family that just broke my heart. I had to laugh at her grandmother and the things she found out about her. I laughed and smiled a lot but also was sad a few times. It was very emotional but a great read. I thought it had great fun characters, was well written, and totally delightful with just enough humor to keep it interesting.

I was absolutely captivated by this fresh take on May/December romance and didn't want the book to end when I got to the last page. Ms. Lohr writes with so much love and emotion, you can put yourself completely in the book and feel like you are in beautiful Santa Fe and sharing the experiences of the relatable characters. I loved the attraction, chemistry, and repartee between Carolyn and Brody as the tables were turned and the student became the teacher. This is a beautiful contemporary romance that will leave a smile on your face and joy in your heart.

This is a very fun and enjoyable read from an author who knows how to write with emotion, humor and chemistry. She ably wrote the teacher/former student plot in a respectful way and took her time with their growing relationship. I can't wait to read more from this very talented author. And finally, "go, granny, go!" You rock!!!

I really enjoyed Carolyn & Brody's story, but, I was left wanting more. Their banter was really good and Brody made her want to get over her fears. A part that was missing from the story was Carolyn's previous love life, she's been in the earlier books, but we know very little about her.
