How long would you wait for a second chance at first love?
Meet Ethel Ann Shaffer’s The Last of the Red Hot Lovers—a sizzling, sharp-witted, and tender memoir that throws every assumption about aging, romance, and sensuality out the window. With vibrant storytelling and unapologetic honesty, Ethel Ann takes readers on a journey that begins with innocent Sunday strolls and spin-the-bottle kisses and unfolds into a late-in-life romance that’s every bit as passionate, complicated, and hilarious as any youthful fling.
Sixty-two years after their high school days, Ethel Ann and Kurt reconnect not just through memory, but through laughter, loss, long-distance emails... and a daring rendezvous in Las Vegas. What begins as a “neutral ground” meet-up between two octogenarians becomes a blazing rediscovery of touch, trust, and truth. From awkward reunions to flirtatious red scarves and soul-baring conversations over shrimp scampi, Ethel Ann’s voice sparkles with humor, heartache, and hard-won wisdom
But this isn’t just a love story. It’s a survivor’s tale. A mother’s tale. A woman’s tale. And above all—a bold declaration that desire and joy do not have an expiration date. Through trials of divorce, single motherhood, and emotional scars, Ethel Ann emerges empowered, vibrant, and still curious about where love will take her next.
