Duet narration performed by Mollie Stark & Aiden Snow
• Age Gap • Ex-Boyfriend’s Older Brother • Small Town • Workplace • Grumpy/Sunshine • Slow Burn •
Loved this age gap, ex’s brother, workplace romance! Daphne did a great job highlighting the stark differences between a twenty-something’s mentality and a nearly forty year old’s thought processes. Owen is so much more willing to just live in the moment and assured they’ll figure things out, while Lila is still set on her rigid plan and worried about others’ perceptions. But Owen is such a green flag guy! Zero pressure, super supportive, and interested in learning not just Lila’s interests, but things to accommodate her needs and to care for her. The off-limits aspect made the tension fun and exciting!
I also really enjoyed the large family dynamic that Owen returns home too. The family love is one many desire, event with some tension between a couple members.
Mollie was the perfect Lila, full of sunshine and confident, projecting an independent, intelligent twenty-something woman very well. And Aiden was fabulous as Owen. Grumpy, mature, and growly! And the duet narration was performed perfect!
