Out of Sight
A Forbidden, Age Gap, Forced Proximity Romance
ISOBEL
I know a bad idea when I see one, and the silver-haired, unfairly handsome stranger I met on the airport shuttle is a really bad idea.
Especially when that silver-haired, unfairly handsome stranger turns out not to be a stranger at all.
I’m here for my sister’s wedding, to spend time with my family, and refocus on what matters most: Getting into med school.
Judah Hale is a distraction I can’t afford, but the more time we spend together, the harder it is to remember that.
JUDAH
She’s my daughter-in-law’s little sister, half my age, and the definition of off-limits.
I tried to fight it, but every time I set eyes on Isobel Bradley, I’m filled with a primal, possessive urge to claim her.
I’m not holding back anymore.
We’re in paradise for a week, and I’m using every second of it to make her mine.
Authors Note: Out of Sight is a standalone, age-gap romance starring a sexy Daddy Doctor, and the college student he can’t stay away from. Lots of spice, a dash of insta-love and HEA guaranteed!

4.5 I'm Not Hiding From It Anymore Stars ⭐
The best things in my life have come at the end of a long fight; I should have guessed that my future wife would be no exception.
It's a destination wedding, but I guess nobody anticipated the father of the groom hooking up with the much younger sister of the bride. The initial flirtation was innocent; well until the sparks between Judah and Isobel became real.
You get all the heat and passion of an age gap romance in Out of Sight however you don't expect the storyline surrounding Isobel that sucker punches you with feeling. Because behind the prickly exterior that Isobel exudes, is some major anxiety caused by a shitty family.
So enters a gorgeous older doctor who's smitten from a glance. Isobel may be forbidden but once Judah falls he's all about helping and winning the trust of this girl. He becomes her protector, her lover and her everything.
“I’m going to get you pregnant.” He whispers, voice rough with emotion. “Going to give you a family, Issy. A real family. I’ve always wanted that, and I think you have too, so we’re going to make one together.”
This was exactly what I needed. Sweet and filthy, emotional and naughty. I'm loving this new to me author who's writing these smutty romances with heart and swoony love affairs!!

*4.5* How much fun was this little kinky treasure? (Thank you Isabella)
Age gap (she’s in her 20s, he’s in his 40s)
Destination wedding
Instant connection
Push/pull
Daddy kink
Doctor play
Virgin h
Non-manwhore H
Dirty talking on point
For a cheesy read, it had hidden depth and genuine characters.
"I want you more than I want my next breath, sweetheart. Not just the pieces you've decided are good enough to show the world, but fucking all of you."
And can we talk about that sunscreen scene 🥵

5/5 another hit by Cleo White!
TROPES:
~age gap
~instalove yet slow burn
~forbidden love (sister's father-in-law)
~vacation setting in Bora Bora
Isobel (23h) is on her way to Bora Bora for her sister's wedding. She meets an older man, Judah (mid 40s) at the airport who takes her breath away, and vice versa. Once they get to the resort, they find out that they're soon-to-be in-laws. Can they make it work?
I really enjoyed reading this one! I love how protective Judah is towards Is, he stands up to her overbearing parents more than once on her behalf. The forbidden aspect was yummy and there was a good amount of spicy spice! As always, Cleo White has written a masterpiece that will surely become another one of my comfort reads!
SAFETY:
Ages: 23h, mid 40sH
Virgin/celibate: virgin heroine, celibate hero
OM/OW drama: none
Cheating/sharing: none
Triggers: panic attacks/anxiety
Kinks: daddy, praise/"good girl", rough sex
HEA?: yes!

3☆ Daddy, bye.
This was a new author to me, and it was actually pretty good for what it is. I liked the cast of characters and most of the plot development. The h’s parents can go suck on a cactus. 🌵🖕But I really wish there were more age gap stories where the heroine doesn’t call the hero Daddy. I mean it can still be sexy, taboo, and a caretaker trope without it, ya know? I’m just really tired of that being almost every author’s go-to for age gap spicy novellas, and it felt unnecessary and tired. Other than that, I liked it.

forbidden age gap romance?? yes THANK YOU.
this is absolutely for the praise kink girlies. if that’s your thing, congratulations, you will be FED.
it’s fast, spicy, a little unhinged in the best way and honestly just really fun to read. i flew through it. my only reason it’s not a full 5 stars is because the instalove was a lot at times, but did i still devour it? yes. yes i did. 😌🔥

-=- Re-read (4.5 stars) -=-

This will undoubtedly always be one of my favourites by CW. The Panic attack scene always makes me so emotional because I relate so much to Is's character and parts of her situation. It feels so real, and the way that Judah comforts her is everything 🥹.
So glad I finally got around to re-reading this!
∘₊✧─── Original read ───✧₊∘
This was such a hidden gem of a book.
-=- 4 stars -=-
It was such a nice mix of tropes- and was just very low-commitment, and really fun, whilst still having that character depth and development- and the smut was good too 😌.
I came into this expecting a really simple story- but I was really surprised by it, particularly because I ended up relating A LOT to the heroine. So just know that those comfort-care scenes hit different 💀☝️.
I'm shocked that I actually managed to finish AND like a book because of the slump that I'm in rn- I actually really enjoyed this one.

I'll be so good to her, she just needs to let me.Yum . . . I only wish there had been a few more scenes to cement Issy and Judah's relationship. So happy to have found a new author to read. Thanks Isabella! <3

4 stars. A sweet, steamy and mildly angsty (but in a very soap opera-y way) instalove novella. Silver fox doctor MMC who is immediately all-in and totally protective over the FMC, never mind that they've just met and they're at his son’s wedding and she’s the bride’s younger sister. It’s not unique but it is done well. I gobbled this up.

DNF at 58%
H‘s reaction after h tells him that she has trouble with orgasming:
“You know what I do for a living, don't you, Issy?”
I blink up at him, confused and more than a little turned on by the way he's looking at my body. “Um, you're a doctor?”
His lips curl into a dangerous, smug smile. “You happen to be in a room with one of the most respected Obstetricians and Gynecologists in the country, Miss Bradley.”
I gasp as his hands grip my ankles, and he drags me to the edge of the bed.
“Now, you said you were having difficulty reaching orgasm?” My brain has short-circuited, and my body has taken over. That's the only possible explanation for why I find myself nodding breathlessly, heart in my throat. “Let’s take a look.”
Wtf is that supposed to mean? Bc you‘re implying that being an OB/GYN makes you an expert in jerking off women and it just makes me wonder wtf you’re doing with your patients.
The fact that he’s explaining his sexual prowess with his occupation as an OB/GYN felt so predatory and unsettling to me. ‼️
I know some of my GR friends have read and enjoyed this and I wanted to like this too but I just didn’t.
This is probably more of an unpopular opinion but it’s my opinion and that’s that.
Safety:
- virgin h; experienced H
- H was married once before and has a son. He had girlfriends and flings over the years but no one that stuck around.
- h had some boyfriends but no one she felt deeply for and ofc she never had an orgasm in her life.
- No cheating or sharing
- Mild OM drama: the half brother of h‘s sisters husband is interested in her which causes some jealousy with the H
- No OW drama

"I want you more than I want my next breath, sweetheart. Not just the pieces you've decided are good enough to show the world, but fucking all of you."
For such a quick read, author did a great job developing characters and story, adding enjoyable depth to them 💗
Isobel (FMC) is on her way to her sister’s wedding. She meets Judah (MMC) who noticed her earlier in the plane. Both are attracted to each other straight away and at the resort, where the wedding takes place, they eagerly exchange numbers. Both of them didn’t expect to meet so soon again, when Isobel’s family introduces Judah as her sister’s future in law.
Now they’re off limits to each other, but, of course, both can’t resist. The chemistry between them is tangible. Judah’s yearning for Isobel is delicious 🤤
I was hoping Isobel’s family would get eaten by the sharks or just drown 😒 The way they treated her was just horrible.
Book includes not my go-to kink and micro-tropes, and while the tropes were inserted flawlessly here and didn’t bother me, but every time that kink came up, I couldn’t help but cringe 🥴
Personal preference - I don’t like HFN endings in general, but for couples like these or the ones who get together at the end of the their books, epilogues that only includes “1 year later” is a total bummer

No cheating, sharing, OP drama

"Tell me what you want. What you really want." I beg. I will do anything for this girl. In just a few days, Isobel Bradley has become the center of my world, and, damn me, I don't give a fuck who she is anymore. Every instinct inside me is bellowing that this beautiful, hurt creature is meant for me, and the rest of my life hangs on the question I just asked her."

"My bungalow is next door. I saw you the first night we were here, swimming…. I've had to jerk myself off three times a day to thoughts of how you looked in that little bikini, Issy. I'm too old for that shit, let me cum in your pussy instead."
"I kiss her again, and I've never felt this full. Everything I've ever wanted is in my arms, holding me just as desperately as I'm holding her. This woman will be my wife, my family, my whole fucking world, and I'm going to make it my life's work to make damn sure she never doubts how much she means to me."

I’ve been flying through this author’s backlist! Judah and Isobel meet after a flight to Bora Bora, sharing a taxi to the local resort. The attraction is clear, but things are complicated when they realize they’re both there for the same reason - a wedding. Judah’s son is marrying Isobel’s sister, making him her soon-to-be father in law!
Judah and Isobel were hot together, but he also unlocked a level of vulnerability in her that was so sweet to see. Judah made it no secret to her that he was in it for the long haul. His patience and persistence in showing her she was indeed good enough for all the good things made my heart swoon. The tropical backdrop made their romance even sexier. This was a great read for me!
This author has a superb talent at giving you a well-rounded romance in a novella-length book. Her books truly are addictive and it’s no surprise I’m almost done with her backlist!
What to Expect: age gap, forbidden (he’s her future father in law), destination wedding/Bora Bora, virgin heroine, Instalove (but in the best way)
Trigger Warnings: emotionally abusive parents (on-page)

Age gap sisters FIL— I usually steer away from novella’s but this one caught my eye and I really enjoyed it. Isobel is on her way to her sister’s destination wedding . On arrival she meets Judah. They have a moment of heavy attraction. Later at dinner she finds out Judah is her sisters fiancés father. Isobels physician parents always treat her as a second class citizen. They dote on isobels Doctor sister who is marrying a doctor who is a son of a doctor. Are you feeling a common thread??? Isobel is finishing up medical school awaiting to hear if she’s accepted into the famiy tradition medical school. Doctor Father in law Judah falls fast for Isobel. There’s really good character development for such a short smutty read. Judah is a great H who champions his h. This is a fantastic palate cleanser for those who like dark angsty reads.

Tropes:
🌴 forbidden romance
☀️ doctor MMC
🩺 age gap
🌴 love at first sight
☀️ forced proximity
🩺 v!rg!n FMC
🌴 he teaches her
☀️ destination wedding
🩺 anxiety rep
If for Second Edition I took my time, here I couldn’t keep my kindle Out of Sight, no pun intended! I devoured this book in one sitting.
Whenever I think I’ve read the best book Cleo has ever written, I’m proved wrong, but she really outdid herself with this one. I swear, the only negative thing is that it ended too soon!
There was a scene where I had to take a minute because I was seriously crying. I can relate to Isobel 100%. I’m her and she is me, we are literally the same person.
So, with all this being said, where do I find a Doctor Judah Hale all to myself? Do I wait for Santa to bring him under my tree? No, ‘cause I’m waiting for him, and it’s not only a want, it’s a NEED!

Out of Sight is a quick, summer-y, spicy read that kept me reading because I was nosy and wanted to see how it ended LOL.
I randomly picked the audiobook up on Hoopla to put on while I organized things around my room and by the time I finished the book was over and I was left…wanting? This is centered around Isobel and Judah, who meet in a rideshare when they arrive in Bora Bora for a wedding. What both of them don’t realize until they get to the resort is that they’re attending the same wedding: Judah’s son is marrying Isobel’s older sister who is the favorite of their parents because she’s done everything expected of her and followed in their footsteps to become a doctor. Whereas Isobel has struggles with anxiety and panick attacks that led to a mental breakdown because her parents treat her like she’s the spare that they have no hopes for.
Judah and Isobel are immediately attracted to one another, and while they have some reluctance to letting the wedding party know they’re into each other, they eventually say f it and start hooking up. Isobel was a virgin before Judah, so she also has a sexual awakening while coming to terms that she doesn’t want the life that her parents planned for her.
I went into this knowing that it was supposed to be a quick smutty time but I was very turned off by Judah and Isobel saying they loved each other before the week was even over. Isobel and Judah essentially move in together the following week. I really struggle with instalove because on the one hand I feel like yup, makes sense. When you know, you know! Also, why would a man not be obsessed? But on the other hand, when the FMC is 23 and the MMC is 50-something and they tell each other they’re falling in love in under 7 days my mind wonders to…are these people sane? LOL nurse!!!! 🗣️
Final consensus: the spice was mostly fine. The instalove didn’t work for me. I wished Isobel was stronger and easier to root for. The audiobook carried me through! Not bad for a random find on Hoopla.

رواية اليوم كانت من ترشيح صديقتي… تخيلوا من سنة وهي تهددني أقراها😭 ونصيب لليوم.
بصراحة عشت معها كل المشاعر حرفيًا بكيت لين حلقي وجعني مدري الرواية فعلًا مؤثرة أو هرموناتي شغالة بزيادة 😭 وفي نفس الوقت فرحت معهم وحسيت بفراشات في مشاهد الدعم والحب بين جودا وأيسي… طريقته معها كانت تخلي القلب يلين كان يعوضها عن كل قهر عيشوه ياه أهلها جاحدين ويقدسها تقديس يجنن.
العيب الوحيد بالنسبة لي كان فارق العمر بينهم كان كبير جدًا وخلى عندي إشكال في البداية وصعب أتقبله… لكن مع تقدم الأحداث بلعته ومشيت مع القصة+ الرواية فيها سموت كثير تقريبًا كل فصلين في مشهد وذا الشيء ما كان يعجبني و daddy kinkحرفيا أكره شي عندي وأحسها جدا قديمة بس عديتها تصرفات بطل شفعت هبل ذا ... غير كذا الرواية خفيفة ولطيفة ومليانة مشاعر من النوع اللي يخليك تتعلق بالشخصيات وتعيش معهم لحظاتهم❤

All you need to know is, that this was such a treat!!!
I devoured this in like 3 hours, I just couldn’t stop reading it😩!!
I loved the story, the characters, the dynamic and the taboo aspect. It was definitely full of drama and had some serious themes in it, but it was also kinky, hot, steamy and sweet.
It really was beautiful to follow Issys way how she started to accept and love herself. How she finally build up trust into someone and shared her deepest secrets and worries. And Judah was amazing for how he took care of her, for how he stood up for her and showed her his undeniable love. Ugh they both were perfect :,)
I also loved the slight medical kink they had in a few sexy time scenes ( since Judah is actually a gynecologist) hehe this was just so 👀🤭
Man I loved this book so much I will definitely reread it at some point and maybe then write a more detailed review!!!
I devoured this in like 3 hours, I just couldn’t stop reading it😩!!

This was a great read! I loved Isobel and I'm claiming her as my bestie for life!
Out of Sight is probably in my top 5 best reads of this year. It was full of spicy angst, intense emotion and had amazing main characters. Judah was an OTT possessive growly hero that was the perfect protective and loving balm Isobel needed. Seriously he is a 10/10 book boyfriend.
Not only was the love story between Issy and Judah an emotional high, I loved the growth we see in Issy, not only with accepting and putting herself first but with Evie who is going through her own emotional journey. Lucky they both found men willing and able to lean on when things get tough.
This was a beautiful second chance for Judah as well. He was at a point in his life, where he thought he'd missed his chance at love but meeting Isobel pushed him to take a chance on a new beginning in life, with someone he loved and could build a future with. I loved how once he realized what he felt for Issy was real and all consuming, he didn't let anything stand in his way of claiming his HEA with the woman of his dreams. There is nothing sexier then a committed and devoted hero completely gone for his heroine and Judah was that in spades!
This is my first Cleo White book but it won't be my last. I'm already excited to download some of her earlier novellas. The blurbs alone have hooked me!
Highly recommended. I 100% know I'll be re-reading this one and am so excited it's available as a paperback because this has earned a spot on my book shelf, not just my kindle!

I never understood the point of the extra n's tacked on the end of the word damnnnn until I met him.
"I'm going to get your pregnant." He whispers, voice rough with emotion. "Going to give you a family, Issy. A real family. I've always wanted that, and I think you have too, so we're going to make one together."

That was a lovely and fast read.
It was the absolute age gap/insta love/forbidden romance I needed. So easy and fast to read, incredibly well written.
I've loved how protective Judah was of Isobel, right from the beginning. He saw what other people in her life failed to see. Her parents do not deserve to be mentioned in this review. I appreciated how Evie tried to connect with her sister after years of being deached.

La historia en si es buena y entretenida.
La manera en que Judah siempre VE a Izzy es hermosa, porque realmente la ve!!
Odiaran a los padres de Izzy, eso es seguro.
Esas escenas spicy entre ellos son realmente fogosas 🥵🔥😈
No soy fan del insta-love, pero lo pude tolerar, no me quejo. 😅🙈

Oh delightful fun. Total wish fulfillment age gap romance- older man who is self assured and supports the fmc against her emotionally negligent parents. Light easy and fun. Spoiling the fmc, which I love, and a light daddy kink.

While travelling for a family wedding Judah spots Isobel on the plane and is immediately attracted to her. Luck would have it that they are going to the same resort and attending the same wedding. Judah’s son is marrying Isobel’s sister and they both struggle with this instant connection, trying to convince themselves that this should not be happening.
When Judah’s overprotectiveness takes over his usual calm nature it sets off a series of events that threaten family relationships.
My heart broke for Issa the first half of this book. It made me so sad with the way she was treated.
A really cute story with a very happy ending ❤️

Out Of Sight by Cleo White
4/5⭐
2,5/5🌶️
This is my first book by Cleo White, and wow, it did not disappoint! I wanted to dive into her books for a while, and last week I was in the mood for something light and quick. This was just the book! I love age gap and forbidden romance tropes, and this story delivered them beautifully. Isobel is on her way to her sister's wedding when she runs into Judah at the airport. There’s an instant spark between them, and they plan to meet at the resort to get to know each other better. But things take a twist when they discover they're going to be in-laws!
This is a quick read, but a lot is going on in the story. I felt for Isobel. Her parents treat her like she’s invisible, always raving about her older sister and ignoring her achievements. It’s heartbreaking to see her struggle to fit in and feel like a disappointment. No matter how hard she tries to please them, it’s never enough. Many of us probably relate to Isobel’s feelings. I loved how she finally stood up for herself and went after what she truly loved instead of just trying to meet her parents’ expectations. Judah is amazing when it comes to looking out for Isobel. He sees right through her parents and stands up for her. It’s great how he helps her realize that she’s perfect just the way she is.
I enjoyed this book. It’s a perfect mix of light, spicy, and fun, while still having solid character depth.

The first 50% of this was the most cutie cinnamon roll thing I’ve ever read. Him being a an OBGYN who works to fight against the disparity of treatment for marginalized women, doesn’t let anyone (including her horrible parents) degrade her, and helps her through her panic attacks without calling her crazy?? Yeah 10/10 green flag guy. I don’t even care about their age difference, love is love, and he is so hot AND respectful. The last 50% I think lit my kindle on fire. Man is generous. G E N E R O U S. Making my future husband read this 😮💨

So this book was actually quite insane if you look at it from an outside perspective. Tbh it was like going to a family member’s wedding but making it all about you. This FMC had no idea who she was or what she wanted, and I’m not convinced she ever did. As soon as her parents pulled the plug on her financially, she just decided to go live with an older man. Idk. I love age gap most of the time, but this felt creepy and weird. Borderline grooming.

Finished this book in a few hours it’s a short one like less than 200 pages! This novella is spicy while also having a perfect amount of meaningful plot. The plot focuses on a marriage between Isabel’s sister and Judahs son, and the difficult relationship Issy has with her family. Judah and Isobel ugh love them for a couple reasons
- Judah protected Issy from her parents every single chance he could and she needed that so bad!
- Judah is an OBGYN who is passionate about accessible healthcare for women which is something I am v passionate about so imagine my surprise when I came across this in a book 😍
- Loved Issy’s character arc
Cleo does a great job making insta love work. These two had a beautiful relationship and I wish I coulda got a million more pages of the two of them!
*note this is a daddy kíñķ book which is not my jam but I overlooked bc I enjoyed the story and couple
