Product Description
From Booklist
A near-fatal car accident might be one of the best things that ever happened to Clare Wilson. During her recuperation, Clare gathers the resolve to divorce her charming but philandering husband, a man she'd married after the tragic death of her original fiance. As Clare heals both physically and emotionally, she gets close to Jankowski, a studly cop 10 years her junior who witnessed Clare's crash. But Sam is too intense too soon, and Clare has been burdened with guilt over the man who has held the key to her heart for 20 years. As Clare sorts out her life, her sisters gather around her, trying to protect her from any more harm. This is as much a novel about the strong bond among sisters as it is a love story. Carr portrays Clare's sisters in depth, adding even more interest to this humorous and poignant tale. Readers who enjoy books by Barbara Freethy and Maureen Child will add Carr to their list of favorites. Shelley Mosley

Never Too Late, Feb 7 2007
By M. Nix - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Never Too Late (Mass Market Paperback)
Clare is separated from her cheating husband Roger. After catching him again, Clare drives away in a haze of anger and grief. Before she can get very far though, Clare gets into a near fatal car accident. After waking in the hospital, Clare decides to make a change and take her life back.It starts with Sam Jankowski, the police officer who was there at the scene of the accident. Sam is about ten years younger than Clare. Then Pete Rayburn, a man from Clare's past enters her life again. Clare's ex husband Roger is still a fixture as well, and he's not bowing out gracefully. Clare's sisters Maggie and Sarah are a big presence in Clare's life. Now, Clare is attempting to start over surrounded by several gorgeous men, her loving and outgoing family, and her teenage son Jason. Clare is discovering that starting over is not as hard as she first thought.
Never too Late tells the story of Clare and her endearing sisters Maggie and Sarah. Their lives become entwined on many levels. I had to stop myself from flipping to the back of the book to see what would happen next. Sam is one of the most charming men have I ever read about, and Pete is just as terrific. Maggie is strong. Sarah is tenderhearted, and Clare is lovely. Never too Late is a bittersweet story about new beginnings. Along with the joy there is some heartache as well. Even though there are happily ever afters across the board, I still felt a little down at the end because of how the story plays out.

Two great romances for the price of one, Oct 18 2006
By Tracy Vest - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Never Too Late (Mass Market Paperback)
After catching her nearly ex-husband in bed with a leggy blonde, a traffic accident gives housewife Clare a new lease in life, as she decides to file for divorce from her perennially philandering husband Roger, contemplates a romance with a much younger cop, and decides to get reacquainted with Pete, the brother of her former fiance with whom she shares a past.While recuperating, traffic cop Sam visits her in the hospital and makes his feelings known. When she's released, Clare rejoins the workforce as a teacher at the local high school. The only problem is that Pete is the football coach, and the principal, who seems familiar seems to have it in for her. Meanwhile, Roger tries desperately to get Clare to forgive him and give him one more chance, even going so far as to ruin her big date with Sam, who is obviously more serious about her than she is about him. And she is starting to look at Pete in a whole new light as they spend more time together.
A secondary romance for mousy sister Sarah, who trades in her severe wardrobe for more playful attire and make up presents itself when sensitive single dad Sam, who is very reluctant to get involved with another McCarthy sister, is suddenly on the market and Sarah decides to pursue him.
Bravo to Carr for penning an engrossing romantic drama. But with two fully-developed romances, a son with problems forgiving his father, and assorted family drama, it really it could have been two complete novels. There were certain aspects of the book that were not resolved, like the problems with the school principal - the storyline just disappeared. Despite the flaws, it is nice to read a mature and more realistic romance for a change.

love and life can always come knocking for a second time., July 1 2008
By Rendezvousbooks.com "Australia's romance bkstore" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Never Too Late (Mass Market Paperback)
Clare Wilson is at her wits end with her passive aggressive cheating husband and after finding him on his fortieth birthday with a bouncing blond on his lap knows it's time to kick his sorry butt to the curb.But when a devastating car accident lands Clare in hospital, grueling physical therapy puts a damper on her grand plans of a speedy divorce and resurrecting her teaching career. However during her recovery Clare has men swarming for a chance to date her and at thirty nine she knows there is no time but the present to start putting her life right again, just at a slower pace than first planed.
Her ex Roger is pining, super sexy cop Sam is ten years Clare's junior but that doesn't stop him from sweeping her off her feet and Pete, an old high school flame is hinting at a second chance.
It seems being an independent single woman is a powerful aphrodisiac, a fact that Clare's younger sister Sarah hopes to tape into as well and since the death of the girls mother a decade before Sarah is about to take the world by storm. Carr proves that romance isn't only reserved for those twenty-something bombshell heroines, lust love and life can always come knocking for a second time.
Roby Carr has a gift for weaving such beautifully romantic and funny stories as we have seen in the fantastic Virgin River trilogy and we can experience this magic again this month with the re-release of the Grace Valley trilogy.
