The Pool Boy by Nikki Sloane
3.0

" “Get these off,” I demanded. “Yes, ma’am.” His grin made him look impossibly young and even more attractive."

I'm a sucker for a good ma'am and the pool boy in question ma'am's real good. Not in bed though whew. This age-gap pushed me right to the edge of my comfort level, and was so hot even I found myself a bit uncomfortable reading on my family vacation. But not enough to stop, nope. I wasn't expecting the sort of Nashville-esque musician plot, and I think I liked the part about him becoming her client (not just her pool boy) was the tiny bit that was too much for me. I'm glad it was worked out he wouldn't be, but there were so cringe-y moments there.

I was also uncomfortable that it was her best-friend's son, but that was part of the taboo. The sub-plot of her cheating ex-husband was also a bit squicky
Spoilershe catches her ex-husband having sex with his colleague, another cis-man. She does keep his secret, since he is not out, and the eventually talk and come to a bit of resolution about why their marriage didn't work
.

But dang, there's some good sexy content in here. Yes there is.
