    When Mai meets Brit, an insurance agent and soon-to-be-grandpa twice her age, the last thing she wants is her relatives playing matchmaker. But what's a girl to do when the guy turns out to be fun, sexy, good looking, a fantastic salesman and the most determined vegetarian she's ever seen gardening in the buff? She can't leave Dubuque, Iowa, until her mother's broken leg heals.
     The solution? Move Mom and herself into a big, rundown Victorian house with two other senior citizens, creating a communal household. And since the oldsters are very generous with their post-garage sale items, why not open a flea market upstairs?
     Brit is Mr. Helpful--until he discovers Mai's flea market is next door to his new, upscale apartment building. His plans include turning the Victorian property into a private park for his tenants.
     Still, some folks think Life-with-Hot-tempered-Grandpa could have its charms.
    Then there's another wrinkle in Mai's disordered life. What about Brian, the husband who disappeared on their honeymoon?

"Mai’s Ties is a wonderful read. It has everything – fresh, original characters that you can really care about, a complex plot with some wonderful little twists, an upbeat, very readable style and a little bit of something to think about at the end. This book is definitely a keeper."

"MAI’S TIES is a funny, romantic tale that is well written and memorable. Highly engaging, right from the very beginning this story had me hooked... 
   I had no idea what to expect from this book, but what I got was laughter and a healthy dose of romance... 
   Mai is one character I won’t easily forget. I got a real kick out of MAI’S TIES and a whole new appreciation for the idea of gardening in the nude..."

"Mai’s Ties is a refreshing read. It has some unexpected twists and turns making the book fascinating. I liked Brit and Mai the moment they clashed at his apartment. No matter what their age difference, they were great together and the dialogue was excellent. Taking care of a garden in the nude was quite a unique spin too. C.J. Winters weaves a real McCoy tale that is neat in every way. She creates an easy flowing story that enchants the reader."

"...an enjoyable story that's worth your time. A reluctant May - December romance with some delightful secondary characters, this is the kind of feel- good story that can lift you up on a dreary day."
