Publisher Description
Jenny thought she was done with men and relationships . . . her kids, however, had other plans. A delightful, entertaining and funny rural romance from Karly Lane, the bestselling author with over 550,000 books sold.
Jenny Hayward cannot believe that she's fifty years old and a grandmother with adult children! When did that happen? Not that long ago her three daughters were in school and Jenny was following her dream of becoming a nurse.
In the two years since her husband walked out, Jenny has been absorbed in her family and work. But then her daughters and her best friend secretly set her up with a profile on a dating app and she is unexpectedly thrust into the world of dating.
However, as the dates keep coming, Jenny wonders how the people she loves the most in the world have managed so impressively to pick the wrong men for her.
The annoying barman watching on is much more enjoyable company. The barman who is more than a decade younger than her. Yet Nick doesn't seem to notice her age at all . . .
Is Jenny's next date the date of her dreams?

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
In For Once in My Life, bestselling author Karly Lane offers us a charming later-in-life romance with a quirky small-town setting and a whole lot of heart. It’s been two years since Jenny Hayward’s husband left, but she’s barely looked back: she’s got her adult kids living with her, and a job in nursing that she loves. Life is comfy—maybe a little too comfy—until her best friend, Beth, and her daughters hatch a plan to get Jenny off the couch and onto the dating scene. After a handful of surprise dates at the country pub, she’s had enough: embarrassingly, the whole town of Barkley is talking about her love life, and Jenny’s too mature and sensible for this nonsense. Sure, the cheeky, attractive bartender who’s witnessed her dating disasters has been giving her some sultry looks, but Nick Mason is much too young for her— isn’t he? Expect authentic will-they-won’t-they tension, and a buoyant storyline that delves into the possibilities that open up when we take a chance on love.
