I’m struggling on how to rate this. I liked it, but something just didn’t click for me with the characters. I liked the age gap and forbidden nature of their relationship and Alejo was fantastic. I think what made me struggle was the heroine. I didn’t understand why she was “friends” with the wife of one of her ex’s coworkers and then the whole “I’m breaking up with you for your own good” really annoys me in books.

I love Kariana Hale!!! She is one of my favorite rommance authors. Ever since I read The Swedish Prince, I have been hooked and this book did not disappoint. If you want to read a dramatic, sweet & romantic book, then look no further!!! The Younger Man is the right book for you.

I did not think i would find a book that worked it’s way into my heart the way Birthday Girl did, but this book did! Oh boy do i love this! Older woman/younger man, forbidden romance it’s AMAZING!!! I am obsessed now and need more like this! The angst, the hero being 10000000% smitten, the Spanish…ugh this is just perfection!

Well that was a lot of fun. Very angsty at times but also a beautiful love story. The age difference often doesn’t work when the woman is older but despite waiting for the other shoe to drop, Halle really sold me on their relationship. Big bonus is the Madrid food, drink, and sports culture. Really glad I picked this one up. Now I want Luciano’s story!

life's too short to read stuff that bores you. this didn't start off horribly and in fact the premise is pretty original. older woman is head physical therapist for soccer team in madrid. falls for one of the players.
i can tell this is the kind of angsty emotional story that a lot of y'all will like. i'm just not real big into older woman/younger man stories and soccer is the one sport i reallllllly don't give a shit about.

You don't know how long I've waited to read this book ever since I've read the title and its blurb. I was all kinds of excited because one of my fave read author has released a younger man/ older woman story. After I've read it, it's safe to say that it has exceeded my expectations.
I couldn't help but fall in love with the chemistry that Alejo and Thalia are putting off. I don't find enough (in my opinion) books written with this trope and that in itself is such a treat. I love the build up of romance between these two. It is sweet, emotional, sexy, steamy with the right amount of angst to get you going all through the night just to finish it. I love how the main characters balances each other out. A perfect combination if I ever see one. Loved it and can't recommend this enough. A definite must read!

While overall a good story with strong characters, it was a bit drawn out. I found myself skipping ahead a lot.

Karina Halle once again created a soul-crushing contemporary romance that was full of steamy passion and forbidden love, deliciously sexy, yet super cute. In addition, it’s a sports romance, which is always a huge plus, at least for me. The main characters were so well-rounded and so well-written. They had a particularly unique feel to them (Alejo felt very much Spanish, I was pleasantly surprised). I loved an age-gap aspect in their relationship, and I appreciated that a female character was much older, once for a difference. And I absolutely adored the setting for the story. The food and drinks, the sightseeing and the free Spanish lessons, the excitement of the football games made it feel excitingly real. I simply couldn’t put this book down, and highly recommend you check it out.

So swoony
Ah I have no words for how much I love Thalia and Alejo

Thalia and Alejo's story is a beautiful and heartfelt romance. It is passionate and angsty with incredibly beautiful locations (I want to go to Madrid now). Their love is forbidden as, they work together and, a little taboo, as, there is an age gap (Alejo is 17 years younger than Thalia) but love defies logic and their passion for one another is endless. Both characters are note-perfect as romantic leads. They are both sympathetic and passionate without behaving in any manner that makes you want to throw the book or your kindle. :)
This is a damn, sexy book as only Karina Halle can write! It's one of her longest but the only way I noticed it was that I was unable to finish it in a day. It's pacing is superb. It's very well plotted and very satisfying. One of my favourite romantic dramas from Karina thus far. Sooo worth the wait. And it was so gratifying to re-visit Vera and Matteo from Love, In English!
I would love to see Luciano as the main character of a book. Perhaps he can find love after all? I hope he meets someone in Lisbon...
