Beau is a wreck. His dad has died and left him with a death bed confession that he has NO idea how to deal with. So he does the mature thing and blow a year drinking vodka and getting pissed. Hey- he's 26 so his brain is not fully formed :)

We forgive him because he is PRECIOUS. As is Jett, Jetpack, Jetster- lots of cute and sweet moments in this story. And whew- this is a spicy read! Very hot and really great. Lactation kink warning (if you need it).

Trying to picture Beau based on the description in the book is patchy and I was confused between the Brando & young Depp references coupled with that (not very strong? Didn't fit?) cover. We are assured he is hot though :)

Beck (Rebecca)- it was hard to get a good idea of what she looked like since there were not so flattering descriptions from her about herself, so yes- why on earth is Beau interested in her? I just couldn't get a strong picture of her in my mind. Anyway, she struggles to understand why a younger man wants her, especially as "damaged goods". Its a struggle- a valid one.

What would have made this a 5 for me would be? I think shorter, for some odd reason the book felt a little dragged out. Which is weird since I don't like the "insta" very much. Timelines seemed a little off for me, we were at 2 months for Jett's birthday but then it was the best month of her life?

And Beck made some choices here and there which irritated me. Why not take the hottie at his words? Maybe having a kid in the picture can definitely make you more cautious in opening up to someone.

I didn't have that scenario in my life, but a light bulb went off in my head. This story did hit me since my hubs is 11 years older than me. So I now understand why he tried to set me up with his friends and how he felt, telling me he didn't want to get involved since he had lots of baggage (divorce, kids). I told him Pshaw- he was stuck with me :)

Bravo to Ms. Jane for helping me see the other side. And it was appreciated to see Beau's dad loving him and Beau seeing his love for Jett.

Audio review:

Wowwww !!!!!! This is a duet narration by Jason Clark & Daisy Jane. Holy hell this was so well done from both VOs! Hearing Beau & Beck come to life had me swooning and hitting me right in the feels!

feels wrong to DNF a book at 85% but i just can’t anymore. their relationship progressed way too quickly considering their individual shit and the fact that the fmc has a literal baby. they had an argument on their first date?? he’s trying to get them to move in on date three?? (which was somewhere between 2-7 days after their first date?) no. not cute. so codependent. beck was dumb af, i just couldn’t with her ex husband bs. idk the last time i thought “wow neither of these people have any business being in a relationship rn”. they both need therapy and i feel like i do too after reading almost 400 pages of this. i’m done. I’M DONE.

edit: okay actually skimmed to the end (i.e. p much just read the dialogue) so i’m gonna count it as a book read i guess. very bad.

Well, I love @authordaisyjane books, I also love a good reverse age-gap and a lot of f!thy smexx. I’m also breastfeeding at the moment (my baby, not my husband) so of course I had to read a lactation book
