For starters, this was a first book for me where a much younger man is "romancing" an older woman (most of the times, it's the other way around). So, I was very intrigued to see how it all played out. to be honest, it was disappointing. The characters written in such a way that you would never believe that Brian is barely 20 and Jane is in her 40s. Brian acts, talks, things, and behaves himself like a 40 plus year old man and Jane is like a virgin teenager who is making out with her first boyfriend. Jane has absolutely NO personality, she doesn't have any will-power, she is such a push-over, it's simply laughable, she has NO emotions whatsoever. You would think when your husband tells you that he is leaving you for another woman, who he has been sleeping with, and who you know, you would throw a fit, right? Even if that conversation takes place in public, right? You would probably throw something at him. Not Jane...She is like....OK, I guess our forever didn't last long...WTF?!?!?! Oh, and don't get me even started on Brian...I think he was supposed to be that dominant alpha male that just oozes sex appeal...Instead, he is controlling simply for the sake of showing control. It just doesn't make sense. His so-called dominance is very close to be called abuse...The ending of the book was very abrupt. It literally ended in the middle of the chapter. At first I thought that my e-book was corrupt, but not, that's the author's "brilliant" plan to leave room for a second book. Huh?? Oh, and the copy I got contained a sample (one chapter) of the next book and let me tell you, it gets worse....<spoiler>now Brian is a full blown stalker, watching Jane on security cameras as she is undressing in her own home??!!!! </spoiler> Thank you, but no, thank you. I will not be continuing with this disaster.

Thank you for ARC opportunity! I had a little slow start in the beginning but picked up quickly and finished at race speed. An older woman and younger guy I had many thoughts but turned out steamy beautiful and the story has twists turns deceit... Amazing job again!

I’m old enough to drive a car, buy alcohol, and enter a club.I’m old enough to take responsibility for my actions.I’m old enough for her, no matter what her middle-aged friends or society says.No matter she’s the age of my mother.No matter why or how I met her.I’ll take those secrets to my grave, and her with them, if those secrets don’t ruin us first.When I started reading I couldn't put it down.Charmaine Pauls is magnifysent writer.I cannot wait to read more of there books.Keep up the great work.You should definitely read this book.

Can't tell the last time I picked up a book and was so caught up with it that everything else was forgotten. Words just can explain how absolutely I am looking forward to Part 2.

The story starts out with Jane being handed marching orders from her husband. Enter Brian in the perfect set-up for her downfall only Brian falls in love.

The mere fact that the heroine is older but still so innocent is adorable. Brian teaches her what is means to be confident - even though he's so much younger, his experience makes him so much more mature.
Im counting the days until I get tge next chapter.
