I loved that the MCs were a bit older, it gave them a lot of depth in a very different way than you see in other books. The representation was great, without being performative and weird, and I just loved the journey, honestly. To me, this book is like ...the romance equivalent of Tolkien - food references and all.
Utterly amazing read, I couldn't recommend it more - and it would be great for someone who hasn't read loads of romance but wants to get into the genre!

Be aware there is some homophobia/biphobia and ace/aro denying/shaming, as well as some family tension around those facts. Mostly hinted at being in the back story but there is a little bit of direct dialogue.

A slow-burn romance story with an older cast (Maggie being a divorced single mother of a college aged son and Aiden being a 50 year old man.) The characters were well developed and likeable.
I found Role Playing through Amazon’s First Reads. I went into this book not knowing what to expect (full disclosure i was judging books by their covers). This was a cute read and opened my eyes up to some things and felt very affirming.
I would definitely read again and recommend to friends.
