The Naked Fisherman
by Jewel E. Ann
Good Start.
I went into this book blind. I had no idea that it was an age gap romance. I also didn’t know that the hero, Fisher Mann, could be bordering on an (in Reese’s terms) donkeyhole. He pushes that line very very close to being just plain mean. But then he does things that melts your heart. I hadn’t read any reviews, but via book groups, knew this duet was popular. So I had to take the plunge and see for myself why.
Reese was only 18, but she had a good head on her shoulders. In some aspects she was definitely naïve, but in others, due to her background, she was very intelligent and knowledgeable. Life had dealt her some interesting cards and she was making the most of it as best she could. She had an opportunity to reconnect with her mom, and that lead her to Denver and the naked fisherman.
Some may call this a slow burn, but I wouldn’t classify this love story in that way, at least not in this first book. What it does portray is a young woman exploring her sexuality even though she had been bought up believing in saving herself for marriage. She goes through many emotions of wanted more but feeling it’s all wrong. She discovers that love does not concur all and good things come to those that wait.
What can I say about Fisher. He learnt a lot about himself also, and that love comes in all packages, even if they are delivered too early. I got the feeling that Fisher didn’t want to settle for just anyone, or he’d of married his family’s favorite. But I also think he wasn’t going to settle down at all because he didn’t think he’d find the right woman for him. He did though in Reese, he felt the connection from their first meeting and that meant a lot to Reese, but it didn’t change their dilemma - she was still only 18. She needed to experience life on her own for a while and find herself. That’s what I take on this first book.
I did read the bonus chapters in the appropriate timeline. A lot of it is just repeating the dialogue of what went on between Reese and Fisher but when there are his own thoughts, you get more of an understanding of where Fisher’s head was at. I am intrigued enough to want to see this through and watch them reach their HEA.
