I thought this was a cute story. The chemistry between Zach and Jade felt realistic and I thought their feelings were each other were genuine. However, Jade did annoy me with her reasoning on why she shouldn't be with Zach. The writing was good, making this a quick and easy read, I am looking forward to reading the next one in this series. ( )

It was really sexy in parts - but I had a major issue with the constant angst with the age - it came across as false.

I also hated the rather frank discussions with the heroine and her daughter. I...just felt the conversations would have been better between a friend than a daughter. But that's just my opinion. ( )

This Kindle freebie was just all kinds of wrong for me. The set up is this: 21 year old daughter sets up 39 year old mother with an escort for a special gala and specifically asks said escort to ensure that sex is included in the deal. That's WAY too much information for my comfort. There's a lot of mother/daughter interaction that I thought was kind of weird. I don't want to buy lingerie for my mum and I DO NOT want to see her model it. I certainly DON'T BUY HER SEX TOYS (seriously, there was a whole box of "goodies" including anal beads and a butt plug!). So, that's the first bit of WTFery for me. Then, as I said, he's an escort. He sleeps with almost all of his clients. Nevertheless, they're condom free by the end of the weekend! I mean, Dude - really?!?. There is plenty of hot sex (which was well written) but I found it difficult to suspend my disbelief to buy into the story. The story graded as high as it did because the sex was pretty hot.Also, Is it just me or is the dude on the cover super-hairy (and not in a good way)? ( )

found this book boring and vaguely depressing. As an aside, the idea of a 40 woman discussing her sex life explicitly with her 19 yo daughter just didn't do it for me! But also the main lovers didn't work either. The notional that Zach, 10 years younger and physically perfect just falling into total monogamous love with Jade after one date, felt too Mary Sue for me, and not in a good way. I didn't like Jade, the most interesting thing about her was her name. Otherwise she was whiny and insecure and bland. Zach was more interesting but there was no rational (or irrational) reason for him to fall so passionately in love with Jade so quickly. That he never even thought about the age difference or the fact that she couldn't have more children didn't make him seem committed, it made him seem like he was too young and not really looking at her truthfully. (and that his job as an escort where he had made love to other clients, seemed squeamish to me too. He wasn't looking at a lot of things in his life truthfully)

So not well written, not well characterized and not very hot... Not a keeper either. ( )
