Golden Wings & Pretty Things by Kayleigh King
5.0
I hope this is just a small taste of the contemporary stories that Kaleigh has up her sleeve. While it’s short, it packs one heck of a punch that was unexpected.
I am usually not one for an age gap, especially with one where the hero is more than twice the age of the heroine. King made me forget the age gap between Astor and Indie and yanked me into the story of two people who have had to fight for every piece of their life. Indie was belt a crappy hand when it comes to her mom and with her dad's death, everything falls apart. Her mom does her best to make her life miserable. Astor doesn't know if people want to be around him because of his money or who he is. Once he met Indie he knew he needed to own her, and Indie needed his money. What they end up finding is a whirlwind of emotions that was completely unexpected. They both just want someone to love and love them for who they are.
