UNITED INDIE BOOK BLOG REVIEW
REVIEWER: ANN
RATING: 5 STARS
I loved this book because it had a bit of everything in it from comedy to sadness and feel good happiness with a definite HEA. Samantha Harris put a great spin on the contemporary romance with the a strong female who chose to date a man 13 years younger than her. Sean who is 29 and Madison who is divorcee at 42 seem the least likely to pair up because of the age difference. Clearly pure animalistic lust is what pulls them together, but Sean soon realizes there is more to their relationship than Madison is willing to consider. Many obstacles and heartaches occur. I enjoyed the character development and flow of storyline, as well as the superb writing style.

One:

She took a deep breath and took a bite of her food, a sigh of pure satisfaction escaping her lips as she relaxed into her seat. Fuck me that sound. I could spend the rest of my life searching for more ways to get her to make that sound again. If her laugh had turned me on, that fucking sigh made things almost painful.

Two:

“You are a mess,” I repeated, “but so am I. Life is messy.” I pressed my forehead against hers and exhaled. “The mess isn’t the problem. I can deal with messy. The problem is you won’t let me.”

“We make absolutely no sense. I get that, but I can’t explain it and I shouldn’t have to. We are so alike in some ways and completely different in others. She’s frustrating and overwhelming and I know that I should be running for the hills, but I love her. Why can’t that be enough?”

Samatha “Sam” Harris lives near Baltimore, Maryland with her husband David and daughter Ava. Born in Florida, she migrated north which most people agree was a little backwards. She has been an artist all of her life, a Tattoo Artist for more than ten years, and a storyteller since she was a kid.

Sam has a slightly unhealthy love for Frank Sinatra, classic movies, and Jazz and Blues music, but her first love will always be reading. From Romance, to Thrillers, to Historical Fiction and everything in between, she loves to become a part of the story. As a writer she tells the stories that she would want to read.
