Synopsis:

Twice burned, three times shy Emilia Vega hasn’t dipped her toes into the dating waters since her last and only post-divorce relationship ended badly. Her self-imposed celibacy, however, becomes an unviable option when she’s thrust into the arms of transplanted Argentinean dance instructor, Ramón Chavez.

A widower after the sudden death of his wife and newborn during childbirth four years previous, Ramón Chavez believes in living life to the extreme. But when his mother insists he partners with older woman Emilia Vega for an evening of dance instruction, Ramón realizes his heart hasn’t pumped with genuine excitement in a long time.

Despite her best efforts to avoid the younger heartthrob, Emilia is thrust into Ramón’s path when she’s called to her son’s school by the new English teacher. But there is more afoot than just Emilia’s burgeoning, rediscovered libido and that is the burgeoning psychic gifts of her troubled son, Anthony.

I really had fun with Emilia’s Emancipation.  It was a joy to read.  Between the wonderful love story between Emilia and Ramón and the little psychic twists and turns, it was a really good story.

Emilia had been a single mother for all of her son’s life, getting divorced shortly after he was born.  Slightly overprotective she refused to date until her son, Anthony, was at least 16 years old – that meant four more years and by then Emilia would be almost 50.  Her sister Angela thought that was way too long and that Emilia deserved to be loved.  So Angela puts her matchmaking skills into motion and voilá the plan is hatched…

Enter Ramón, sexy younger man and part-time dance instructor.  Emilia is tricked into taking over Angela’s lessons when she feigns a broken ankle but as soon as she looks into Ramón’s deep brown eyes and places her hand in his she feels the sexual electricity right down to her toes.  She fights her attraction to him with everything she has but can’t resist his smooth Latin charm.  Ramón knows that for the first time in years he can actually feel again.  Too bad Anthony is so freaked out about them and with his emerging psychic powers it is impossible to hide anything from him.

Gracie McKeever tells a wonderful story of finding love again.  Emilia’s Emancipation will make you happy just reading it, and the night of incredible passion between Emilia and Ramón was more than enough to have me looking for a cool breeze!  This story brings hope to all those who think they’ve lost their only chance at love.  Don’t pass this one up, it’s a keeper.
