The Gap
A Christian Age Gap Romance
I had everything I'd ever wanted before I even turned 30. A great education, a beautiful home--which I purchased with money from my own business. A business worth 4.7 billion dollars. I even had a wonderful husband who stood by my side.
And then he left me.
One day, I was a successful woman with everything going for me. The next, I was being sued by my own husband.
Everyone keeps saying God is here with me in this storm, but the only person I see is some kid who parks my car for a ten-dollar tip. He won't leave me alone. But ... his company isn't so bad. He listens to me. He's honest with me. And he says he prays for me.
Maybe God is here. Maybe God brought this young man into my life. But he's just a twenty-something kid...
I shouldn't feel this way for someone so young. So inexperienced. But I also can't deny the connection we have.
If this love is from God, then our age gap shouldn't matter... Right?

Not me pacing back/forth and saying Amen while reading. I don’t find a lot of Christian fiction Romances that feature black and minority characters that I actually like. This was a great read featuring an older leading lady as opposed to the usual older man which is also slightly refreshing. While I would’ve appreciated if there were some clips from sermons in the book, the storyline brought together struggles that one can actually face as Riders for the most high!!! The only thing I regret is that it’s finished, and one other thing that I cannot elaborate on without exercising my ability to regurgitate information!!!

I loved this book it was so timeless! Funny! Sweet, mixture of emotions! All the characters were lovely and felt realistic!
I loved Constance! She is the rich powerful woman of God on her own! I loved how she was beautiful but also had her rights to her own emotions!
Her ex husband was honestly did her so dirty!!
The plot twist I literally did not expect was her literally getting her valet guy and dressing him up to be a fling and potential business partner not expecting to fall in love!! Who invented this plot idea because I loved it! I adored it!
Joaquin was a great character! He was sweet, handsome, caring, selfless, but also had flaws!
All the side characters I loved all of them!
The ending was cute! I hoped we would see Joaquin and Constance have a child but that's just me! I also love that she made him her chef and then I thought they were going to be like that forever but instead she got him job and I adore them!
I loved the pure love of God in this book! I usually don't like Christian romances because they can be very weird, a bit too heavy and just have strange plots and characters that are emotionally unavailable! Especially historical Christian romance!
This book is 5 stars I loved it highly recommend!

A. Bean has a way of telling stories which are both uplifting and uproariously funny. Constance and her husband were a power couple until he decided that he wanted to step away from their union in a public and humiliating fashion. Constance is left with the remnants of their business and the tatters of her pride. When she agrees to meet a client at a local and exclusive restaurant her ex-husband Daniel is there before her along with his pregnant girlfriend. Constance is livid and appears unhinged, so much so, that Joaquin, the young valet has to step in to make sure that she gets home safely. As young as he is, Joaquin has seen a lot and soon becomes the person who stands in the gaps in all the broken places in her life. This story is a lovely example of faith, hope and perseverance with a small helping of heat. I loved it!

Joy
I’m throughly intrigued, exhausted, exasperated & entertained😮💨‼️Thereafter, “The Gap: A Christian Age Gap Romance” (4.75 ⭐️’s) it’s was a joyful journey. …certainly not boring, ain’t your average or typical monotoned Christian romance. Ms. Bean did a phenomenal job on character & plot development. The FMC, Constance got plausible issues in abundance yet dignified …cause “I’m a lady”😉🤭‼️Likewise, Joaquín has his own issues too. Nevertheless, love prevail 💕. A great reverse gap read with Ebony & Ivory 👀🤩 Hallmark movie channel vibes‼️

This was an exceptional story for so many reasons. I loved the romance, both main characters were flawed and flawless. The pain and betrayal was real but the faith was ten times better. I was impacted by this novel in a way that I cannot put in words. Overall, I loved it from start to finish. Highly recommend this!

Not what I expected
From the beginning of the book there was drama, reflection, pain, joy, love, and it was clean and enjoyable. It had me reflecting on my life.
