All Grown Up
by Vi Keeland
All Grown Up is a winning older woman/younger man romance that hits all the right notes.
Valentina is reluctant to return to the dating scene after divorcing her high school sweetheart. While she is hung up on the big age difference (12 years) between her and Ford, her fears are not simply based on her insecurities or what people think—although that is a large part of her hesitation. She has legitimate concerns for Ford’s wellbeing as well.
He may be only 25, but Ford could give lessons on how to be a man. His level of maturity is remarkable, and it is admirable how he is so honest about his emotions. I enjoyed his pursuit of Valentina and the ways he encourages her to give zero craps about others’ opinions.
The story could easily have Ford and Valentina sneaking around for sexy times throughout the entire story and nearly getting caught. I’m so glad the author avoids that trap. Their relationship is based on more than just physical attraction.
Some of the characters could have been more developed; for example, Ford’s sister and his best friend. I loved Valentina’s meddlesome friend, Eve, though. The Montauk setting is charming – a perfect backdrop to this witty, sweet, and sexy story.
