I’ve been a fan of Grace Turner since her stunning debut novel, and this story just solidifies my appreciation for her talent. I really love reverse age gap romances, and this one had the added bonus of a pierced, dirty talking man. This was a satisfying and sexy read, and I’m already impatient for Ryder’s book.

I absolutely devoured this book. It’s a well-crafted and, page-turning tale with more twists than a bag of pretzels and twice as many likable characters!

4.5 stars!!
Holy smokes! This book has spice on top of spice; but boy was it a great love story as well. Ryder brings his friend Theo home from college, who has no where else to live. When Ryder leaves for an internship, Theo and Natalie( Ryder's mom) can't deny feelings they have for each other. What starts as innocent flirting leads to some intense scenes. This story unfolds effortlessly, allowing you to witness two consenting adults, who don't know if what they are doing is right or wrong, fall for each other. The romance is so sweet and I love that more authors are doing the reverse age gap trope! I love it and when reading this book I was there for it when Natalie found herself again.
Also, I had a feeling Ryder has his own secrets and the epilogue confirmed that! I can't wait for his book! Would definitely recommend this book!

Thanks to NetGalley and Grace Turner for allowing me to review this ARC!
