Bruised and abused, and victim to a loveless household, I shimmered with new life the moment he found me drowning my sorrows in a lake beneath the stars.
A chance encounter. An unspoken connection.
I was smitten; he was curious.
But, as everyone knew, fate could be decidedly cruel.
He called me Halley, like the comet.
I called him Reed.
And my best friend?
Well…she called him Dad.
Genre: contemporary romance
Publication date: April 2024
Mature content: yes
Review: While I realize this may not be a story for everyone, given the age difference between the two main characters and the fact that she's still in her late teens when they fall in love, I have to say it's one of the best romance books I've read lately.
There's a depth to the characters and the story that makes everything feel so much more real. I loved both Reed and Halley, I smiled, laughed, danced and cried with them along the way, and I was so, so happy when they finally got the ending they deserved.
Older was a book I almost could not put down - right from the first pages. I totally recommend it, and I will definitely explore more books by this author in the short term future.
Happy readings!
