Sometimes the good guy just wants to be a little bad.

When a single father in this small mountain town meets the new woman, he’s willing to tarnish his good-guy reputation to be a little naughty with her.

Charlie Harrington

I’m a respectable man in my small town. Doting single father. Fair-to-all mayor. Successful attorney. After one mishap in the past, I avoid scandal at all costs. Making everyone else happy is my goal. I’m content . . . and bored. Then one morning I find a woman in my bedroom, wearing a ring that doesn’t belong to her, and she turns my world upside down. Suddenly, all I can think about is all the bad ways we’d be good together.

Janessa Cruz

As the former wife of a person in the media, the only thing I want is peace and quiet. I’m a single mother desperate to go unnoticed and build a stable future with my daughter. Starting over is the plan. Only when a misunderstanding brings me face-to-face with the sexy silver fox mayor, he’s suddenly everywhere I need to be. And for the first time in my forty-plus years, being a little reckless never felt so right.

+ + +

Another Harrington brother bites the dust, and he’s looking forward to getting all kinds of dirty. Read how Charlie and Janessa navigate single parenthood and a steamy, second chance at love over 40 in this small mountain town.

**The Harrington brothers are a spin-off from Second Chance, but don’t you worry, this later-in-life romance can be enjoyed as a stand-alone.

Charlie Harrington’s turn for love!

Reviewed in Australia on 4 June 2020

Silver Mayor is the 3rd book in the Silver Foxes of Blue Ridge series and is the story of Charlie Harrington and Janessa (Nessa) Cruz. Set in Blue Ridge, Georgia, this is a wonderful small-town romance that is hot, a little bit sweet and engaging to read.

Charlie and Janessa are both single parents to ten year old daughters, Charlie being the mayor of Blue Ridge, and Janessa a newbie to town after her recent divorce. Both have issues with their ex partners and may be reluctant to find love again, particularly Janessa, however their chemistry and attraction to one another keeps them coming back for more. Janessa is torn by this attraction and continually fights it, will her head or her heart win this battle?

Add in some dramas of the ex kind, lovely appearances by Giant Harrington and Letty, and Billy Harrington, Roxanne and Sadie plus their charming and match-making mother and Blue Ridge is a place I really enjoy being taken to with Ms Dunbar’s wonderful way of writing. It’s familiar, yet each book brings new stories and journeys to follow. Silver Mayor is a steamy read, it is not insta-love but it is instant attraction and a contemporary romance that has some light moments, some fun and lots of getting to know the real Janessa and what she is hiding beneath the wall of protection she has built around herself. Charlie may just well be the man to help her break free. An over 40’s romance, L.B Dunbar sets the bar high with her silver foxes and Silver Mayor will appeal to those who enjoy reading love stories with characters who are in this age group. It can be read as a standalone, I however enjoyed seeing familiar faces from the first two books and reading the paths their characters and romance has taken.

Thank you for the early copy I received. This is an honest review and all opinions are my own.

KU REVIEW

Welcome back to Blue Ridge and Book #3.
Mayor of the town and respected Harrington brother, Charlie first meets Janessa Cruz under awkward circumstances, but their mutual attraction is hot.
There is a lot going on in this story, with both characters having been through complicated divorces, and each have custody of their daughters, who are quickly friends.
Not my favourite of the series, but another brother gets his HEA.

Another fabulous story. This is so sizzling hot and full of chemistry. A great read.

Mayor McSteamy is a 5 ⭐️treat!

Reviewed in the United States on 4 June 2020

Overall Grade: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Oh boy. I have been waiting for the words to write this article. When I picked up L.B. Dunbar’s Silver Mayor, I had no idea what a treat I’d be in for. I mean, I had a feeling as I had loved Silver Brewer (Giant’s story) and Silver Player (Billy’s romance). Dunbar has this way of creating compelling silver foxes whose life trajectories feel very similar to my own 40-ish something existence. What I didn’t realize was that she was saving some of her best for last.

Silver Mayor offers the story of Charlie Harrington, an attorney and mayor of Blue Ridge, Georgia. Other than a horrific divorce, Charlie Harrington has lived his life by the rules. As a single dad and the mayor of a town, he has carefully curated his choices to both protect his daughter and his town. Then, Janessa Cruz comes to Blue Ridge, and the careful plodding of Charlie’s life becomes upended. The chemistry between these two sizzles from the start, and this creates moments where Charlie and Janessa simply cannot contain their chemistry. However, as their pasts seek to interrupt their lives, their burgeoning coupledom becomes threatened. And this…this causes Charlie and Janessa to almost lose control of themselves and their potential future together.

When I picked up Silver Mayor, I started reading it while reading another book. I do this often because I love variety. My intention was to read a couple of chapters of this story and switch to the other. What ended up happening was a binge-read of Dunbar’s story. I couldn’t put this romance down for so many reasons, so here goes:

*Charlie Harrington is dirty. Honestly, he’s dirtier than Giant and Billy combined by my estimation. And I loved it, not because I love dirty romance (although I do). I loved it because Dunbar takes this rule-following, worries about everyone’s opinion man and crafts him to be a dirty-talking alpha-male in the bedroom. Charlie is a man in control at all times. With Janessa Cruz, though, he cannot stop himself from taking her anywhere at any time. This loss of control is exciting from a romance reader’s perspective because anytime a controlled hero or heroine loses control due to passion it makes for these fiery reads. And this is definitely the case with Silver Mayor. Charlie’s evolution to a man who lives his passion makes this story an exciting one.

*Janessa Cruz is any woman who has been spurned by her husband for his own selfish desires and finds herself without a definitive plan for the future. Through Janessa’s characterization, Dunbar throws messages about autonomy and agency into her romance. Janessa exposes Dunbar’s readers to discussions about power and authority in relationships, the plight of women to be given a voice, and the fight of single mothers to protect and provide for their children. While Charlie acts as, to a certain degree, the levity of this story, Janessa is its gravity. As she struggles to create a new life for herself and her child, she must navigate an attraction grounded in unbridled passion. Her journey becomes the complication of this romance, and Dunbar deftly maneuvers her through it in a way that compels the reader further into the story. One of the reasons I couldn’t put Silver Mayor down is Janessa’s story. It would be easy for Dunbar to partner them together, “saving” Janessa from the trials of her life. However, Dunbar doesn’t take that easy route. Instead, she establishes moments where Janessa gains her autonomy and stands in it for herself and her daughter. Charlie never saves her; instead, Janessa’s agency lies within herself.

*Lastly, one of my other favorite parts of Silver Mayor is its inclusion of the extended Harrington clan. Not only do we harken back to her Sexy Silver Foxes books of Second Chance and Wine&Dine, she reminds us why we love the Harringtons from Silver Brewer and Silver Player. Billy Harrington is his typical playful self in this book, and it connects us over and over again to Dunbar’s universe of characters. These voices lend some mirth to Charlie and Janessa’s story, but, more importantly, they also offer them wisdom. As these two struggle, the extended cast of Dunbar’s characters assists her hero and heroine in their journey towards each other. They also tease us for future stories. Personally, I can’t wait for the next book in her The Silver Foxes of Blue Ridge, Silver Biker, as I know James’s story will be the most impactful (I think) of the series. We meet him a bit more in Charlie’s story, as a keen set up for Dunbar’s last book. From a writing perspective, Dunbar’s ability to juggle her characters is part of the reasons we keep reading her books.

I’ve said this before in other reviews. I am a HUGE fan of L.B. Dunbar’s for a few reasons. For one, she writes characters that I personally relate with. Their challenges and mindsets mimic some of my own, and as a reader, I love to “find” myself represented in someone’s books. Secondly, there is an ease to Dunbar’s writing, so that reading her books urges you forward. Every book she writes, I typically read in one sitting because the pacing and story pull you through it. Lastly, L.B. Dunbar’s characters feel like real people with real-world problems. We find pieces of ourselves in characters such as Charlie and Janessa. Even if our experiences aren’t exactly the same, we are able to connect with their challenges to live with our passion, challenging social rules, OR having to find a new path for ourselves when those societal rules want to imprison us. That is the essence of Dunbar’s Silver Mayor. If you love a single-dad, dirty-talking, “good guy” mayor and an intelligent, insightful, headstrong woman, then you absolutely want to read L.B. Dunbar’s newest book.

the good boy mayor wants to be bad

Reviewed in the United States on 27 October 2023

Verified Purchase

Charlie has always done the right thing and been the good guy. When he finds Janessa in his bedroom wearing this grandmothers ring she makes him want to be a different man. Divorced with a ten year old daughter she is the focus of his life with his job taking up the rest of his time. Janessa was in a bad marriage with a well known baseball player. She just wants a new start for her and her ten year old daughter. Getting involved with the major when she is employed by the town isn’t something she wants but their attraction is too great.

Charlie and Janessa ate both in complicated situations with children to consider in all their decisions. They both deserved happiness but I wasn’t convinced they were going about in in the correct way.The story kept my attention and I read it in one sitting. The reason I didn’t give it a five star rating was the number of sex scenes. I’m no prude but I don’t need scenes played out in such detail and so often. I can turn the pages until I get back to the story but I feel a little cheated. Read an chose for yourself.

Charlie is All That & The Cherry on Top! HOT!!

Reviewed in the United States on 4 June 2020

WOWZER!!! I am in love with Charlie! I have read all of the Silver Foxes of Blue Ridge foxes and love all of the Harrington men but Charlie tops the cake for me. I knew from the little clips in other books that he would be interesting but that word is such a let down for what Charlie is. Charlie is HOT, sexy, smart, caring, loving, amazing dad and so much more!! We immediately get to feel Charlie's hotness from the get go. I mean literally the first chapter, I was also rooting for them and we didn't even know Janessa's name.

Janessa and Charlie are both also single parents and have been thru the ringer with their exes and still are going thru it. I love both their daughters and how they become best friends. You can't help but just love their all and want the best for them. Charlie, aka Mayor McSteamy, is definitely all that and more! I mean seriously what in the world was wrong with his wife that they had to schedule sex. She is literally crazy if you ask me. Charlie could just say the word and I'd be there. LOL!

I absolutely literally loved this book and out of all the books that I've read in 2020 thus far, this is by far my favorite and I've already read 123 books with many of them being 4 or 5 stars. I would give this book 10 stars or more if I could. You HAVE to check out this book. Don't wait! BUY this book immediately!

Also I would mention that technically this book is part of a series and I highly recommend you read them as well but you can still enjoy this book without having read the others. I literally can't wait for the next book in this series and getting more into James but I seriously doubt that anyone can top Charlie for me.

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Quiet Mayor Meets his Match

Reviewed in the United States on 3 May 2023

Verified Purchase

Oh my, this one was hot! Mild mannered Charlie’s Harrington thinks he’ll never love again, just be the town mayor and the best dad he can be. Then, he finds a strange woman in his bedroom, and the sparks begin to fly. Complicated relationships seem to thrive in the Harrington family, and this is no exception. Janessa has brought her daughter to the small town where her parents live, taking care of Charlie’s daughter, home, and property. She’s just left an unhappy marriage, with lingering legal complications and has no desire to deal with any man. But, of course, we know that wouldn’t make a great story, especially when at the first touch, they both feel a lightening bolt. Great story, more details about biker brother, James, and appearances by other Harringtons add to the experience.
