All Grown Up
by Vi Keeland
All Grown Up is Vi Keeland's new standalone romance. I’m a huge fan of Vi and her books always give me all the feels. I especially loved this one because the age gap and the woman being the older of the two! Dare I say that Ford is one of my favorite Keeland men? Valentina is pushing forty and divorced with a grown son. Her best friend thinks she needs to start dating again so she sets her up on an online dating site. She connects with Donovan and they hit it off. There is already chemistry and sparks and they decide to meet. Uh oh. Turns out Donovan is actually Ford, the son of their neighbors at the Montauk summer home. What are the chances. Ford is only twenty-five, but he's not immature. He had to grow up fast and learn things no teenager should have to know. Ford my be younger than Val, but he's responsible, runs a business, takes care of his sister and isn't going to let Val get away. Val is very attracted to Ford and can't get past his age. Her own insecurities are just too strong, even though she's doing what she loves, taking care of herself and happier now than she has been in years. Ford doesn't care about the age difference. He knows he wants to be with Val and he chases after her. Hard. Then he finally finds the key to getting her. Promise her just the summer. When it's over, they're over. Val loves this idea. Ford is the first man she's been attracted to in years and she wants him. It doesn't take long for Val to realizes she doesn't care how old Ford it. She's falling for him and he's perfect for her. What happens when the summer is over? Will they admit their feelings or let each other go? I loved watching Ford and Val learn, grow and fall for each other. They both had their own obstacles to overcome before they could allow themselves to find happiness. Together! I love Ford. So much. He is sweet, sexy, handsome, romantic and he didn't give up on Val. She's older and wiser. She won't make the same mistakes she did when she was younger. She's strong, independent and knows what she wants. Ford. Her sexy, younger neighbor! Overall, I laughed, cried, got hot and bothered and swooned!
"We're not on a date."
"Right. Not a date."
"It's not."
He winked as he laced his fingers through mine.
"Absolutely. And I'm not going to start at your ass in those tight jeans when I open the restaurant door for you to walk through first, either."
"You're an ass."
"Maybe. But I'm an ass with the hottest date in the room."
