It was very refreshing. At first, I was a little miffed by the age difference but as the story goes, I've come to love it. It was very cute and heartwarming. <3

Usually, with ratings rounded down to 3 stars, there are a bunch of things I don't like. In this case, this just feels like that kind of read. I liked it. It was a quick, fun read that had me smiling really wide. I'm not fond of age differences but it really didn't bother me in this book. And I liked Thomas as a protagonist. But it'll take me some more time to understand Cooper (he feels unfamiliar still) and to be completely sold on the relationship. I'm hoping future books will do that.

I love a good May/December romance and this one did not disappoint. Add in a couple of hot guys in suits, lingering looks over a boardroom table, super sexy first kisses and a forbidden office romance and I'm all in. This was a short, sexy read. 3.5 stars.

Si je ne devais retenir que 2 GIF pour parler de ce nouveau N.R Walker que je découvre, ce serait ...





Comme tous les romans de cette auteur, j'ai passé une grande partie de ma lecture avec un sourire idiot collé au visage, avec des petites bulles de swoon qui pétillaient de partout. En fait, lire un roman de N.R Walker, ça fait le même effet que les bonbons pétillants qu'on mangeait quand on était gosses ! Ça crépite de partout et en même temps c'est tout doux !

Thomas & Cooper sont juste adorables, ils sont à croquer tous les deux ! Si le sujet de base me faisait un peu grincer des dents, l'auteur a réussi à me convaincre et me conquérir en un rien de temps. L'assurance et le franc-parler de Cooper apportent pour moi un vrai plus, et cela le met sur un pied d'égalité avec Thomas. Il sait ce qu'il veut, et il est bien décidé à ne pas laisser Thomas lui échapper !

Les joutes verbales entre eux sont tout bonnement savoureuses, j'ai adoré les voir se chamailler et se lancer des petites piques liées à leur différence d'âge, à leurs divergences de goût sur des sujets divers. Leur alchimie est au top, et j'ai savouré chacun de leurs baisers et leurs étreintes (coquine moi ?)



Un premier tome oh-so-cute donc, une délicieuse petite friandise dont il ne faut pas se priver !

6/1/2021 - Yay!!!! Walker has put all audios on sale for $4.99/ea on Authors Direct. Grabbing them all....

KU. I loved, loved, loved this book. The characters, the banter, the low angst yet still realistic relationship issues. Two distinct personalities. Tom & Cooper are fantastic together.

My grumble ~ this isn’t a book, it’s a serial. It’s a single book broken up into three small novella sized parts. It took me less than 8 hours to read all 3. Sadly, I would LOVE to own this on Audible ~ but there’s no way I’m shelling out 3 credits (or even 3 whispersync discounts) for what’s a single book.

Cute May/December romance, twenty year age difference between the guys, but they fit pretty well in spite of it all.

I read this years ago and loved it, but I thought it was kind of basic and simple. I didn't feel there was a lot of depth to the story. Even though I did enjoy it.

On my 2nd read, I find myself feeling the exact same way about this story, and I'm not sure I want to continue with the series. We'll see.
