What happens when your divorce attorney goes into early labor and their replacement propositions you before the ink has dried? Uhm you take him up on his offer. Sloane and Carter are great together despite their age gap. This was a cute, light and fun read. Very little angst and it left a smile on my face with its beautiful epilogue. The series is a few years old but I am excited to finish the rest of it and see what is next from this author.

My first time reading a book my this author and I enjoyed it. The divorce attorney is a vet fast paced quick read full of moments that made me laugh out loud and smile. Sloane and Carter had bags of chemistry and banter despite the age gap. The heat between them was fire. The romance was very much insta love which isn't really my thing but it was still an enjoyable read. I really enjoyed the moments between Sloane and her friends they girls are a hoot.

Something was missing from this book, i could not feel any of the chemistry between the characters.
The story was meh.

The heroine Sloane is getting divorced and the hero Carter ends up being her divorce attorney at the last minute. Carter feels an instant attraction despite the age gap of 15 years. This is a fun, flirty read with a lot of banter and chemistry between the two. I throughly enjoyed their story.

A great short read that I read in one sitting! I am new to Melanie Munton’s writing and I’m happy that there is more coming in this series! Even though Carter & Sloane had a 15 year age gap it wasn’t obvious which I loved!


I voluntarily reviewed this book.

I finished this book in one sitting because I could not put it down. It was hilarious and hot with twists I did not see coming. Carter and Sloane were made for each other and although their connection was quick it felt organic and real. I loved Sloane's friends and can't wait to read their stories.

I read this ARC for an honest review
All thoughts and opinions are mine

One of the things I love about Netgalley is the opportunity to read new authors an genres I don't normally. I love that

This is a romance but also filled with humour and that's a great combination

An enjoyable read

Sloane is putting her divorce and painful past behind her. Her divorce attorney is replaced with Carter. Carter is immediately attracted to Sloane and leaves his card with her for after her divorce is finalized. Sloane finds Carter incredibly hot but he's older and she's just getting out of a bad divorce. Carter shows up at her place of employment to ask her out. Sloane needs to have fun and get out with someone else. A good age gap story that I enjoyed reading.

I received a copy of this book via Netgalley and am leaving a review.

This had all the right ingredients for an enjoyable, fast paced, easy read. It was addicting, made me laugh several times throughout, steamy, and just overall fun and enjoyable.



Sloane just divorced and when her original divorce attorney is going into labor, she meets her Carter Van Gordon. He is immediately entranced by her as she is described to have an amazing body. With an age gap of 15 years, they started hooking up as Sloane was encouraged by her best friends to use him as a rebound.

From the start, the chemistry was on point and undeniable between the two. The pages were practically sizzling in some chapters!

Sloane is sassy and witty, which I loved, while Carter is not only good looking but also intelligent.

I love the writing style. It flowed very well, and it never dragged at any point.

Overall, It was a fun, steamy read and I really enjoyed it. I recommend it a lot to my fellow romance lovers!

Sloane is looking to start her life over but first she must get rid of her husband. She shows up to finalize her divorce only to discover that her attorney is out on maternity leave and she is now assigned one of the partners.

Her new attorney is sexy and it doesn't hurt that he makes a pass at her once the proceedings are over. Sloane knows better than to get caught up into him but of course she can't resist.

I liked Carter because he knows what he wants. He goes after it. I attribute this to him being older and more experienced.

The story goes straight into insta-love which was kind of disappointing. I wanted to know them more than the superficial stuff that the author throws out there. There is also a lot of sex which I don't mind but only if it adds to the story.

The drama with Carter and how he is intertwined in her life is a bit contrived but adds a little angst to the story.

Overall, a decent, quick and sexy read.

This book was a little too insta-love for my taste, but might work for others. The description gave me a different impression than what the actual book was.

Completely loved it... Made me laugh at how Sloane meets Carter lol... Carter is a man that a lot of women want! The story flowed beautifully. And the chemistry between the two is scorching hot.. With a twist of fate Carter's past comes to bite him. Such a page turner!

I have a secret fondness for a mills and boon type book.
The hero was hot and I pictured him as Dermot Mulroney in my head. Carter was a multi layered character that seemed both hot and dirty but also morals and ethics.
He was everything you want in these type of books, Sloane was also not just a bimbo or rich chic , she was clever and had a brain. She was also feisty and smart.

This book was a good antidote to an early night. I really enjoyed it and liked the characters.

Sexy, steamy, and funny this was one I couldn't put down. I was sucked in by the first line. While I felt like Sloane left a bit to be desired at times, Carter is a great character! The chemistry is off the charts from the get go. When a twist gets thrown at these two it also took this reader by surprise. There's a lot to enjoy about this one including the fact that it's the first in a series which I didn't know when I picked it up!

I could not read this book I think I’m too old. This book from the start was not something I could relate to.

A book about insta-love with a sweet hero. I’d requested this book because the summary was really intriguing. Unfortunately for me the heroine was just too pessimistic and obsessive for me to be able to enjoy this book.

Carter, the divorce attorney, meets Sloane for the first time ever in his office for her divorce settlement. She’s a 23 yrs old girl who made a bad decision in who to spend the rest of her life with and since her original lawyer has unexpectedly gone on maternity leave, Carter is her new lawyer. The attraction is immediate for both of them and so Carter wastes no time in pursuing her. Sloane is a little hesitant, as she should be, to be in another relationship since she literally just got out of a terrible relationship.

Sloane had gotten married to a man without really knowing who he was, and when that ended badly, in part due to the man being from a rich family, add to that her own parents’ history and the role money played in their relationships, she was obsessed with not wanting money.
Throughout the whole story she keeps saying money is not a big deal, but her actions show that to her money is a very big, negative deal.

Plus she is determined to prove her ex-husband wrong by doing the one thing he told her she was horrible at. However that to me seemed like a forced hangup. A) why does it matter what your ex-husband thinks - you left him for a reason. B) if you really suck at something but want to be better at it, take a class, learn from an expert.

While the concept was great, Sloane was supposed to be a smart, intelligent woman but her actions and her pessimistic behavior was just too much for me to be able to enjoy this book. While the book didn't work for me, it doesn't mean it won't work for someone else.
