When Erin returns home, it means dealing with the grief of losing her father and the secret surrounding his death. It also means facing her best friend's mom, the woman she has been lusting and pining after for the past year. Then, finally, Erin gets what she wants, but it's not all it's cut out to be. And one weekend of endless lovemaking turns to tragedy that threatens to destroy everything.
There was no denying that Macy had grown closer to Erin that fateful night when her ex-husband did what he did. And even closer when Erin shared a most intimate yet devastating secret with her. As their relationship intensifies, so does Macy’s crippling fear of losing her daughter, who means everything to her.
And when Carm learns of her best friend's and mother's relationship, all hell breaks loose, and Erin and Macy are forced to face a whole new world. Will their apparent love for each other conquer all and they face this whole new world together? Or will Macy’s fear of losing Carm be the end of all hope she had of being with the one she loves?
This was a very interesting story. It had major heartbreak but many heartwarming moments. But in truth, it was very frustrating. There were a couple of key facts left out causing me to reread certain paragraphs. But all in all, in it’s adventure towards the friends finding themselves, Erin and Macy’s relationship developing and then exploding. It was a good story with very interesting characters.
I really tried to like this book. I’m an avid reader of lesfic and read an average of 300 books per year. I was already having a hard time getting through the first few pages. The synopsis sounds wonderful and right up my alley. However when I opened the book and started reading, it opened in quite a juvenile way. The dialogue and the scenes are already so YA sounding and quite flat. I just couldn’t stomach it to see if it would change. I have a hard time believing that a mature woman would find any of these young girls remotely interesting to embark upon a relationship of some sort. Maybe I’ll come back around and give it a second chance, but for right now, that’s not going to happen.
Loved everything about this story. The characters I couldn't help falling in love with. I always like May to December romance and the hardship they must go through. The way you described each persons conflict on such a level that I was right there with them feeling exactly what they must be feeling. Thank you for a wonderful read and I look forward to many more.
I found this heartbreaking to read at times and became infuriated with the main characters at times. The back and forth pull became too drawn out and I feel like the book suffered because of it. I really enjoy a good age gap romance but towards the end of it I couldn't tell if I wanted the characters to be together or not.
I don't like reading books out of sequence and this is no exception, although I thought that I had already read this book as I recently read another book about age-gap and best friend, falling for best friend's mother.
Not how I thought this first part was going to go as you create your own story when you read the books out of order. The dog/pet, threw me off the most of all thing... who knew.
This was not great. The dialogue was poorly written and the use of exclamation marks was so over the top it was comical. Why was everyone yelling? The main characters were very immature. Despite the story being pretty terribly executed, there were moments between the two female leads that were hot. It had potential but it fell short in a lot of ways.
I don’t like to leave books on a DNF pile, but I honestly struggled to finish this one. The characters are unlikable, POV switched at odd places so that you get confused as to who is doing the talking or thinking, dialogue needs work, and overall the book needed a good editor. Mistakes throughout.
