Dating Rehearsals with the Scientist: An almost fake dating sweet romance (Fresh Start at Forty #2)

Are they fake dating or real dating? Is this a rehearsal or the real thing?

Fortysomething Jen feels a surprise instant attraction to NASA scientist Howard as he auditions at the New Avalon Theatre in a small Ohio town. Trying to keep her mind off having just left her daughter at college, when Jen has a little too much to drink that night, she kisses Howard. She's just visiting the town and they'll never meet again, so that's all right, right?

Months later, Jen is back and acting in the theater alongside Howard. He wants to rehearse dating with her, claiming his concentration on his scientist career has made him rusty. Jen, long divorced, hasn't dated in years, but she wants a personal tour of the Cleveland NASA center that only Howard can provide. They make a deal and start their dating rehearsals.

But are they fooling themselves about what they call practice dates? When another actor vies with Howard for Jen's attention, hot words are said. Are Jen and Howard rehearsing dating, or dating for real after all?
