A 13 year age gap between Ford & Valentina. She came out of a divorce from her high school sweetheart (2 yrs ago) and Ford was her summer cabin neighbor all grown up. They start out anonymously chatting and then meet. Surprise. Ford is engaging and not pushy where Valentina makes excuses about his age and what people might think. She's missed too much being married and Ford holds back and then they decide on a summer fling. The story was OK by V spent most of the book being weak and caring about the age difference where F kept building her up. Usual third act scene and the same boring HEA.
I don’t normally like reverse age gap, but this one surprised me. It was just as good as all this author’s other books!
All Grown Up is a hot, and very sweet romance where the heroine is 12 years older than the hero. That alone made enjoy it - but also because it showed for real that age truly is just a number!

Oh I usually adore Vi Keeland but this one just didn't work so well for me. I thought the characters were pretty weak and that the story was pretty uninspired.
Sadly wouldn't recommend it, but would definitely recommend other books by this author!!

Cute, he falls first/harder story with an age gap. I thought Vi handled this trope well.
Super cute story about an older woman and a much younger man. Not much drama just sweet.
This is a cute and fun and sexy story about a divorcee who joins a dating app to 'get back in the game' only to make an instant connection. She should be ecstatic. The two have chemistry that shines through their texting, but when it comes time to meet in person, disaster strikes. They already know each other and he is closer to her son's age than he is to hers, and quite frankly that freaks her out. He is a persistent little buggar though and doesn't let her push him away without any resistance. The book has humor and plenty of swoony moments, as he sets out to prove age is just a number and he is every bit a man as the men her age. Even the steamy moments are kinda sweet. Both characters are smart and independent. Neither were looking for long term relationships, but wanted more than that they currently had. She had a past to work through, and he had discovered a past secret that threatened to ruin everything they had worked towards together. It's easy to read well written. Hard to put down, thus making it a fairly quick read. It alternates between POVs. Due to the sexual content, I would say this is recommended for mature readers.
