I experienced so many delights in the slow-built romance that has such an emotional attachment that pulls you even further into the story. He has overcome so much in his life while not receiving much good in his life but being so generous to others.

As an avid romance readers, I can't say I remember every book I read, but somehow, each Carian Cole book I've read, does.The story is sweet and tragic and addicting, still I struggled with it as the mfc is so damaged in a way that was heartbreaking.

This book was a rec from a friend because I was in the mood for reading an age gap romance after Birthday Girl by Penelope Douglas so she threw this my direction. throughout, i was a gigantic mess of happiness and relief for Jude wasn’t the ever-present manwhoring type. There was no attraction there yet because of their age gap, which is why I loved their friendship so much. That doesn’t mean these are negative reviews, it simply means that something isn’t compelling me to keep reading at the moment. I loved the subplots in this book, they balanced the main age-gap romance plot out really well and just made everything feel so realistic – which is one of the amazing things about this book, the ups and down and imperfect nature of their relationship even during the highs.It is also not secluded which is why they keep the surrounding area out of frame when driving into it in the movie. I stand on the back patio smoking, wondering how I ended up with a teen bride pushing a cat in a baby stroller across my yard.
