The Yellow Brick Road Gang are back, imparting their metaphysical wisdom and feminine chutzpah in Constance O’Day-Flannery’s latest paranormal romance, Twice in a Lifetime. This time, the feisty and fiery group of women is gathering around Isabel, who is turning fifty and still mourning the death of her husband seven years ago.

But little do they know that Issy, as they call her, has a big birthday surprise coming her way when a strange, beautiful younger man appears in her life, turning her world upside down in bed and in out of it! Can Issy hide her newfound love from her prying friends? Can she even believe it herself when she finds out an incredible secret about her new man, a secret even she, with her open mind, cannot believe?

The story unfolds as Isabel learns to love herself, others and the possibility of her own happiness all over again. When she is asked to help a shy, emotionally abused young woman who has an amazing secret of her own, one that links Isabel to her in ways even they cannot imagine, Isabel grows in ways that she once only dreamed of.

O’Day-Flannery writes with such style and description, and her characters are the kind of people you wish you had in your life, especially the close-knit Yellow Brick Road Gang of women who care so deeply about each other and the world around them. But it’s the men she introduces in her stories that really sizzle, and the sexual heat is built up with passion, tenderness, and a lot of spice.

Paranormal romance is a growing genre, and Constance O’Day-Flannery is at the top of the game with books like Twice in a Lifetime. I can’t wait to read the next metaphysical love story involving one of the Yellow Brick Road Gang. Read this book and you will no doubt be hooked, too.
