This ultimately made me feel as if the promise of romance didn't fully deliver an emotionally satisfying conclusion. Don't get me wrong--the physical connection between the two character is fire and most of the scenes are great. But without the added layer of emotional heart-to-hearts, it was hard to fully understand/envision why these two work well together. At times, I felt the MMC didn't really come across as being as "adult" as he should've been, considering the repeated references to his 40-year-old-ness. In some ways, this could potentially lend itself to explaining why their relationship works, but it was hard for me to buy into. Maybe what made it hard for me to see him as a great, heroic MMC was that he didn't come across as a particularly good father to his son and occasionally, things he said to the FMC felt manipulative--combined with a few other things, it made it even harder for me to root for him.
The writing was strong, and the spicy scenes were spicy. I enjoyed the nosy neighbor playing a part in complicating things, but did find the resolution a little... too convenient and also, awkwardly forced.
Still, it was a quick and pleasant read with plenty of spice. I just wish it'd delivered more heart or more angst. If I were to try to recommend books along this same theme/trope to another reader, I'd have to say that I enjoyed Katee Robert's "Your Dad Will Do" and Sara Cate's "Praise" above this one.

A+ for the steamy scenes in this book :‘) I wonder if Cassidy would have developed those feelings if her dad had been around though (Daddy issues?).
