I thought I was going to like this more than I actually did. The beginning was really fun. I laughed out loud and was really enjoying the texts between Ford and Val. As the story went on, I was slowly losing interest. It just wasn't as interesting anymore. I added this book to my TBR after reading another forbidden romance with an age gap and a lot of people preferred this one. I can see why, but I think I like the setting of the other one (The Forbidden Man.) 
Things I did like: how persistent Ford was. For the most part, he didn't give up. I liked the texts between the two. It was hot and hilarious at the same time. I also liked the ending. It was a nice way to wrap everything up, and I'm happy they managed to conceive. And now I'm trying to find the things I really really liked, but I can't think of anything else that stood out. 
At first, I thought the smut was good. But after, it kinda just blended with all the other contemporary romance books I've read. I'm also surprised that her son wasn't as present. I thought he would play a bigger role or be around more often, but nope. 
Overall, it was a good time, but I probably won't be rereading.
