I liked the story very much and of course the narrators were great.

Whilst the communication between them was a bit frustrating, it was the real situation between a much younger man and women being concerned about the age gap and the worry that the younger man may have good sex but there is a worry for the older woman may be ditched for the younger girl. Kendall Ryan gives as all manner of stories and I love her. Thank you

Christian Fox and Emma Wilder for the win!

Full transparency, this book didn’t really appeal to me. I’m not a huge fan of older woman stories, I don’t know why. But this had a fabulous narrator pairing so thought I’d give it a go, and I loved it. It is one of my favourite Kendall Ryan stories ever, top five for sure. Funny how that happens, isn’t it?

I will say that the blurb makes the book sound completely different from what it is. It makes it sound like they meet and have some fun before finding out he’s her friend’s brother, but in actual fact, it is a slow burn romance and years pass before they get together.

Layne is a serious business woman. She knows what she wants, she’s just having difficulty getting it. Enter Griffin, he’s everything she shouldn’t want and when she finds out he’s her friend’s brother, well, she puts him firmly in the friend zone. But some rules are made to be broken, if she could just get out of her own way, she could find something pretty spectacular.
Griffin is a sweetheart, he knows what he wants and what he wants is Layne. He’s always there when she needs him. I felt so bad for him at times because although he held his own, he always felt like a lost puppy following her around and waiting for any scrapes she would throw his way.

Layne and Griffin have excellent banter, which is a huge plus for me. I just love it. Although this is more of a slow burn romance, they had great chemistry all through the book from the moment they met but once they finally give in, cue fireworks and explosions. The build up was pure perfection, the sexual tension palpable. I thought my phone was going to melt.

Christian Fox and Emma Wilder were absolutely fantastic. It’s been a hot minute since I last listened to Christian Fox so I wasn’t sure how that was going to go with the character being younger but he nailed it. Drunk Christian Fox is the best thing I’ve heard all week. And Emma Wilder is perfection for this character, she performed the vulnerabilities she was experiencing so well. If I was to have a fictional narrator girlfriend, it would be Emma! The production was great with no issues to note.

Really really annoying

I am usually a sucker for the older woman younger man trop, but the telling of this story was aggravating: the female lead could not stop whining about her age I’m not having a baby and not having a permanent man. I presume they ended up together. Couldn’t finish it because her complaining was so offputting. Adopt a baby already will become a foster mother there’s lots of kids you need the law of a parent. Could not finish this one. Two stores for the writing and five stars for the performances but the rest of it a real turn off.
