Before he discovered my age, he uncovered my heart.
Bruised and abused, and victim to a loveless household, I shimmered with new life the moment he found me drowning my sorrows in a lake beneath the stars.
A chance encounter. An unspoken connection.
I was smitten; he was curious.
But, as everyone knew, fate could be decidedly cruel.
He called me Halley, like the comet.
I called him Reed.
And my best friend?
Well…she called him Dad.
Older is a forbidden, slow-burn, age-gap

Thank you for this review. I may add this one to my list.

Thanks for visiting and reading the review. :)
DeleteI really appreciate that the author didn't rely on cliches or make it too trope-y, but instead crafted a romance that just happened to come out of a hard situation.
ReplyDeleteAngela - Exactly. It was like the characters cam first and the tropes just happened to follow.
DeleteOh, boy. Just reading your description of this book has me feeling tense. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteDeanna - The angst in this one... wow. Less dark that her others but super angsty!
DeleteThe heroine's background is heartbreaking, so I am sure there was a lot of emotion, but I struggle with this trope.
ReplyDeleteSam - Halley's home life was so awful. It was satisfying to see her taken in and shown unconditional love.
DeleteSounds like another Hartmann win that I can't wait to get my hands on!
ReplyDeleteAlison - Definitely! Hartmann tells a great story!
DeleteThis sounds messy, but so good! What a difficult situation!
ReplyDeleteRachel - Their situation was so impossible most of the book. It was messy, for sure!
DeleteI wanted this ARC but I didn't want to overload my schedule. But I'm adding it to my to TBR. I'm happy you enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteAlicia - I hope you'll love it when you get to it. :)
DeleteWell now I want to read it Tanya!
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll love it if you do, Sophie!
