Assisted Lovin’ by Lorinda McKinnon

Janice, an aging female journalist, lands in an assisted living facility, bitterly determined to remain aloof and detached, only to discover that intrigue and romance aren’t just for the young. She is swept up in the drama of a corrupt facility administrator, the hilarious attempts at friendship by the oversexed ladies across the hall, and in the attention of the dignified gentleman in the unit next door.

When a newspaper prints an exposé of romantic activities in the retirement community, it attracts the attention of the townspeople and alarms the residents’ families, who are worried by the possibility that it could be their loved ones who are involved in this risqué scandal. The residents find the notoriety thrilling, and go to great lengths to spy on one another―and to be featured in the next newspaper article.

Janice teams up with the newspaper reporter and her new friends to reveal a plot to force the facility to close, and discovers she has found a new―if slightly dysfunctional―family.
