Kendra Blake is 45, enjoys her job and is finally getting her first book published. She meets Alison Chatterley, a British au pair, who wants to be a journalist at a local club. Alison is 32, (which is within my age-gap acceptance range), and gets Kendra's number to ask on a date. The story follows the two as they start a relationship and have eventual conflicts. One conflict involves Alison being the anonymous author of the Poison Pen blog that is known for entertainingly trashing new books.

As for who is right or who is wrong in one of the conflicts of the story I can see people thinking Kendra or Alison is more at fault based on their own experiences and bias they bring reading the story. Neither MC denies the attraction they have but the story becomes more about trust and timing. I enjoyed the friends and MJ is a particular standout. The story does leap a in time which works for moving the story along but leaves you wondering how the characters are growing or changing.

This is my first book by the author and I liked her style of writing. There are some intimate scenes but most is off the page. The story also makes me more aware that the reviews I write mostly for myself and friends can impact the author. Thank you to NetGalley and Bold Stokes Books, Inc. for an ARC ebook in exchange for an honest review.
