This is a new-to-me author and I do enjoy her writing style. This is a lovely slow burn age gap romance with two strongly developed main characters in James and Perry.
James, 53, has lead a very “hedonistic and self centred life” so he can be free to be the person he believes he is. Perry, 25, is so very sweet and very much a people pleaser who is literally rescued by James and circumstances lead them to sharing his house.
The many layers to James and Perry are revealed as their friendship grows into more and the chemistry between them turns very steamy balanced out with sweet and tender times.
There certainly are some moments of angst before they overcome a major hurdle and settle into a well deserved HEA.
I found this to be an enjoyable and engaging read with plenty of side characters to keep things interesting and I was fully invested in the outcome.
