The Rules of Dating a Younger Man by Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward

A new, sexy standalone novel from New York Times Bestsellers, Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward.

 

I was the last of my group of friends to find “the one.” 

The guys would always tease me that I needed to hurry up and settle down.  

But I was in no rush.  

Until I met someone worth rushing for. 

Alex was one of the weekend volunteers at Ryan’s House—a charity I founded to build housing near hospitals. 

Little did I know she was the same person I’d been arguing with over email before the project started. At the time, I’d thought Alex was a dude.  

In reality? She was a smoking hot blonde who captivated me from the moment we met in person. 

Our chemistry was off the charts, and I fell hard pretty fast. 

Unfortunately, Alex insisted I was too young for her. I hated that she felt that way. Because age was just a number. 

Not only that, her words didn’t match the way she looked at me—like she was very interested. 

I lived for the weekends we’d spend out of town volunteering.  Alex and I side-by-side hammering during the day, while sharing intimate dinners together at the hotel at night.  

Eventually, the walls she’d put up to protect her heart began to crumble.  

Until fate threw us a doozy that I wasn’t sure we could come back from.  

If I’d thought our age gap was the biggest hurdle, I didn’t know anything yet.  

Rule number one for dating an older woman who insists you could never be together?  

Don’t fall in love. 



SPOILER-FREE REVIEW


The Rules of Dating a Younger Man (The Law of Opposites Attract, #4)The Rules of Dating a Younger Man by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I just finished The Rules of Dating a Younger Man (The Law of Opposites Attract #4) by Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward.  Brayden and Alex's story might be my favorite book in this incredible series of standalones. After almost ten years of writing together, these dynamic powerhouse co-authors continue to deliver yet another unputdownable masterpiece.  I don't know how they create magic every single time. The Rules of Dating a Younger Man is not just another cookie-cutter age-gap romance.  The well-placed, jaw-dropping plot twist made me scream!  I also cried, laughed, and wanted to hug and shake Alex at times while reading how the two navigated their rollercoaster romance.  Alex and Brayden's hard-earned HEA made me want to hug my Kindle. This romance book is going on my Best of 2024 list!

Author: Nikki Ash
Genre/Tropes: Age-Gap; Struggling Single Mom; Single Dad; Nanny Romance 
Release Date: September 12, 2024

Kira
Raising my daughter as a single mom wasn’t the life I dreamed of, and neither was being homeless. But thanks to my abusive ex and a broken system, that’s our reality.
Until Ryder Du Ponte finds us sleeping in our SUV in the company parking garage and brings us home with him.
The handsome single dad convinces me to work for him as a live-in nanny. And against my better judgment, I accept.
With each passing day, Ryder becomes more than my boss. My heart is invested, but falling for him means risking everything.
The problem is, I can’t ignore how safe I feel in his arms, and that’s what scares me the most.

Ryder
Money can buy a lot of things, but it can’t buy love. A valuable lesson I learned the hard way—first with my parents and then when my ex chose to take a payoff and walk away.
One day, I’m a single dad, doing my thing, and the next, I have a beautiful nanny and her adorable daughter living under my roof.
Kira Adams is everything I never thought I’d find. She’s not only sweet and selfless, but she’s also a damn good mom to her daughter … and mine.
The longer she’s in our lives, the harder it’ll be to let her go. What started out as friendship has grown into something neither of us expected.
I know I should cut her loose before this thing goes any further, but I can’t. I’m already hooked on her.

Review: Chasing Harlow by Jay McLean

Chasing Harlow by Jay McLean is LIVE and ready to binge-read. Check out my spoiler-free review below. Chasing Harlow is available to read on Kindle Unlimited. 

Chasing Harlow: https://amzn.to/3zfUBzd


Chasing Harlow Kindle Cover

Blurb:

What started as a bet can only end in heartache.

 Moving to the middle of nowhere right before my senior year wasn’t ideal.

Then again, neither was my brother dying. 

The move was supposed to be a fresh start. 

A new town, a new school, a new mindset. 

Too bad my past indiscretions followed me.

Enter Jace Rivera, the literal boy next door. 

Jace is loved by the town. Admired by his peers. Worshipped by his teammates. 

On the basketball court, he’s a god amongst men.

Off the court, he’s… nothing at all like I expected. 

He’s profound and pure and… devastatingly tortured.

Yet somehow, he offers me light while I offer him hope. 

In the end, we’ll either hurt or heal each other.

There’s no in between. 

“Pain is the price we pay for love,” he once told me.

And a broken heart is the consequence of it.

Spoiler-free Review of Chasing Harlow

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Jay McLean, what did you do to my heart? I'm still recovering from an emotional sucker punch in the feels. I almost forgot what the power of Jay's words can do to me. I've waited a long time to read a new book from Jay, and she did not disappoint. Chasing Harlow rekindled my heart's muscle memory of Jay's words.  This emotion-packed YA/NA sports romance is not to be missed. JMac is back!

When she’s not doing any of those things, she can be found running after her three little boys, investing way too much time on True Crime Documentaries and binge-watching reality TV.

She writes what she loves to read, which are books that can make her laugh, make her hurt and make her feel.


Jay lives in the suburbs of Melbourne, Australia, in her dream home where music is loud and laughter is louder.

Review: Honey Cut by Sierra Simone

Honey Cut by Sierra Simone by Sierra Simone is LIVE! Check out my spoiler-free review below. This MMF review is HOT!

Honey Cut by Sierra Simone book cover

Blurb: 

I have one job in this arranged marriage, and that’s to seduce my husband.

It should be easy; I’m the heiress to a transatlantic fortune, bred and raised to make a good match.  I’ve spent a lifetime building up my endurance, my discipline, my dedication to my god and my church. The danger lies in falling for the devil who put his ring on my finger—a mistake I made years ago, and can’t afford to make again.

There is one more danger: handsome and green-eyed, emotionally wounded.  Tristan Thomas, former soldier and my new husband’s bodyguard.  A hero who stole my heart with salt-soaked kisses on the sea.

But Lyonesse is not like other places, and this isn’t like other marriages. Soon Tristan, Mark, and I are tangled in a knot of vicious jealousy and gorgeous wickedness, where suspicion is an aphrodisiac and secrets and vows are one and the same.

And there is something far darker at play than my real purpose, than the machinations of the Church I serve.  Darker even than the twisted longings of my own heart. Because my husband has secrets of his own, and the reason he’ll stop at nothing to possess me could slice my soul deeper than the honeysuckle-hilted knife he gave me once upon a time.

Because when it comes to Mark Trevena and his games, the first cut is more than the deepest—it’s the sweetest

And he always leaves you begging for more…



Spoiler-free review of Honey Cut


Honey Cut (Lyonesse, #2)Honey Cut by Sierra Simone
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Honey Cut (Lyonesse Book 2) by Sierra Simone is a must-read. This book transcends the four "s's" of romance—smutty, sexy, spicy, and steamy. Honey Cut is much more than just a spicy book. It's a masterpiece where Sierra weaves an intricate web of secret societies, unrequited love, and kink in this MMF romance. This book is lyrical sex dust, tugging at your heart while heating up your Kindle screen. Honey Cut's cliffhanger ending left me begging for more. I highly recommend reading the Lyonesse trilogy in order. You don't want to miss Mark, Tristan, and Isolde's debaucherous backstory in Salt Kiss (Lyonesse Book 1). Read this book in public if you dare. Chef's kiss!

Review of the Cold King of New York

Cold King of New York (The Accardi Twins, #1)Cold King of New York by Siobhan Davis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Cold King of New York (The Accardi Twins Duet Book # 1) by Siobhan Davis is a gripping, unputdownable read. As a fan of  Siobhan's other mafia books, this one stands out with its badass and super-intelligent female lead, Gia Bianchi. Gia is assigned to work with Don Joshua Accardi, a ruthless alpha hole, for a high-stakes undercover mafia mission. Their budding relationship might endanger them since there's a snitch hiding in plain sight.
Siobhan masterfully weaves a complex web of love, loyalty, murder, and mayhem, making this book a page-turner.  THAT ENDING! I can't wait to start reading Caleb's story in The Cruel King of New York (The Accardi Twins Duet Book # 2), which is out now!

He wants me to be a family woman? I can fake it till I make it.

I was hoping the ten million reasons I offered in exchange would be enough to get her to agree. But it turns out, she’s got her own reasons for using me.


From the boardroom to the bedroom, this woman has turned my world upside down.


She might be good at faking it, but her beauty and brains have me falling for real.


I’m just getting started, and I’m already drunk on her.

Spoiler-free Review of Drunk on You

Drunk on You (Love & Whiskey #1)Drunk on You by Nikki Ash
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I'm book-buzzed after reading Drunk on You by Nikki Ash. This book is the first installment in the Love & Whiskey series of interconnected standalones. Anastasia and Julian meet through a trophy-wife website and strike a fake engagement deal, each harboring a secret agenda that sets them on a collision course. Their transition from enemies to lovers is electric, and their chemistry is undeniable. However, their career aspirations might pose a significant obstacle. That's all I will say since I don't want to spoil this book for you. I thoroughly enjoyed this sizzling and heartwarming enemies-to-lovers workplace romance and can't wait to read the next book in this series.
