Jacqueline Marie Delgado is feeling over the hill and useless. She is turning, as she would put it, "thirty-twelve" today. She is a school teacher who is divorced from the most selfish man in the world. He wanted a woman half his age, so he got his secretary pregnant. Now even her two sons are going off to college and she is alone. Old and alone. When Jacqueline meets one of her student’s father she is surprised to find herself mentally calling him Mr. Yummy and wanting more of him. When he asks her out she cannot say no to Mr. Yummy.

Mark Brennan is a widower, police officer and father. The wife he loved and adored died two years ago due to cancer. He never expected to find anyone to replace her in his heart.  He has been alone a very long time but when he meets Jacqueline he finds he doesn’t have to stay alone much longer. She is everything he has ever wanted but can he get past his dead wife to find love again?  Can he open his heart again without feeling like he is betraying the woman he loved and adored?

Jacqueline has learned the hard way that marriage is not forever. Men cheat, lie and cannot be trusted. When she meets a man that is true, honest and a one-woman man she doesn’t know quite what to do with him. Can she take a chance with her heart again? Can she survive it being trampled once more?

Turning Thirty-Twelve is a sweet read that kept a smile on my face the entire time. Sandy James does an amazing job of making me feel like I've known Jacqueline and Mark for years. When you want a read that makes you smile and believe that true love does really exist you want Turning Thirty-Twelve.
