when the boy jessica chastain is dating is more of a men than the piece of gunk she was married to for twenty years and puts her above anything and everything else including his family and career>>>>
This book was frustrating. I'm not a huge fan of older woman age-gaps and musician tropes, but I really liked The Doctor, so I wanted to give this one a try. Erika really doesn't read like a 42 yr old woman. Troy is very hot, but I feel like he's all over the place. I wanted to punch Troy's mom throughout the story. I don't think I'm going to try another one like this.
Note: An ARC was provided by the author via Valentine PR.
This book was every bit as hot as I expected it to be, but it also had a great deal of heart and one heck of a story to tell. I love that Nikki Sloane doesn't skimp on any of it, and she's given readers two main characters that you seriously want to cheer on as they try to figure out how to be together as a couple and get their you-know-what together as individuals. Yes, the age difference is rather huge, but when you find that person you share a one-of-a-kind connection with, that number doesn't matter as much as you once thought. And a May-December romance with the woman being older than the man that's as well written as this is exactly the stuff I so adore reading.
There's so much more to Erika and Troy's story than her being the woman a teen Troy started fantasizing about and how he tends to her pool and other, erm, needs. However, I'm not going to divulge those details here. I'm actually doing you a favor because you'll be able to read it all first-hand once you pick up. The Pool Boy ends with more of a happy-for-now feel than the usual happily-ever-after, but that isn't even a big deal because it ends with ME being happily satisfied. This snags five stars.

The book was recommended to me. I started it although I didn't like the title. It speaks of an unhealthy dynamic iny opinion.
Not written particularly well. Quite a few clichés.
What took me out was the mention of "new size D breasts". When you know bra sizes, you now a D cup means nothing. Another cliché about breasts. I'm done.
