When I first encountered Ford Donovan, I had no idea who he was…well, other than the obvious.  Young, gorgeous, successful, smart.  Did I mention young?  If I did, it bears repeating.  Ford Donovan was too young for me.

Let’s back up to how it all started.  My best friend decided I needed to start dating again.  So, without my knowledge, she set up a profile for me on a popular dating site—one that invited men ages twenty-one to twenty-seven to apply for a date.  Those nicknamed Cunnilingus King were told they’d go straight to the top for consideration.  The profile wasn’t supposed to go live.  Another point that bears repeating—it wasn’t supposed to.

Nevertheless, that’s how I met Ford, and we started messaging.  He made me laugh; yet I was adamant that because of his age, we could only be friends.  But after weeks of wearing me down, I finally agreed to one date only—my first after twenty years of being with my high school sweetheart.  I knew it couldn’t last, but I was curious about him.

Though, you know what they say…curiosity kills the cat.

My legs wobbled walking into the restaurant.
Ford was seated at the bar.  When he turned around, he took my breath away.
His sexy smile nearly melted my panties.
But…he looked so familiar.
As I got closer I realized why.
He was the son of the neighbor at our family’s summer home.
The boy next door.
Only now…he was all man.
I hadn’t seen him in years.
I left the restaurant and planned to put the entire crazy thing behind me.
Which I did.  Until summer came.
And guess who decided to use his family’s summer home this year?  



Valentina is 37 years old. Divorced for 18 months now. Time to get back on the dating horse her bestie thinks..... and accidentally on purpose signs her up for a dating site. Where Val starts chatting with Ford. 25 year old Ford!
He's sweet, funny, hot ... and so much more. But she can't date this boy! Especially once they find out that Ford was the boy next door at the family's summer house in Montauk! 😱
Lol!
But Ford is not giving up yet.
Let the fun times begin ... 

WHAT WiLL HAPPEN TO VAL & FORD???
WiLL THERE BE A HAPPILY EVER AFTER?
READ THE BOOK TO FIND OUT!
☺




Again with the COVER! #BackPorn! What is it with Vi and Penelope and their covers?? Where do they find these guys?!?! Jeez! 😋🔥

The story was adorable and funny and flirty and sparky and sexy. With a few sad things thrown in.
I loved reading it.
I just adored Ford and Valentina.
I also wouldn't mind reading a book about Eve and Tom.

This was a great romance. Great cast. Beautiful location. Perfect to dream yourself away to Montauk for a few summer hours!

ALL GROWN UP was an adorable & funny & sexy & moving second-chance-at-love-and-happiness-cougary-age-gap-romance! Run to your nearest amazon for your own Ford - this one is so MINE! 😋

Woohoo another Vi Keeland novel has hit my kindle!  Happy dance!

And what is it with Vi's hot AF covers.  I mean, hellloooo #backporn!

This is my second older-woman-hot-younger-man book I have finished this week.  Gives all us old ducks a bit of hope lol. It's all "How Valentina got her groove back"

Ford and Valentina's story is fun, flirty and sexy.  There are also a few sad moments thrown in too.

Now, this book was not good for my diet, as every time I read about Montauk, I think of all the Montauk Bake Shoppe and all it's delicious goodies that I keep hearing about lol

All Grown Up is one of those books that I adored from the first word to the last.  I didn't want to put this one down, staying up way too late and getting up early, just so I could fit another chapter in.

Thank  you Vi Keeland for giving us Ford... oh, and Valentina!

✪ Justified (Loveless,Texas #1) ✪ Jay Crownover ✪





Case Lawton comes from a family of criminals. So as the sheriff of Loveless, Texas, he's determined to do everything by the book - until he's called to Aspen Barlow's office after a so-called break-in. The last thing he wants to do is help the woman who cost him custody of his son. But Aspen isn't the heartless lawyer Case remembers, and he starts to question his long-held grudge...Aspen is scared for her life, and Case is her last hope for protection. But to get him on her side, she'll have to reveal the painful truth from all those years ago. Now, as they work together to track down a dangerous criminal, Case and Aspen learn to trust each other. And as the threats escalate, it becomes clear there's a thin line between love and hate... because there's nothing Case wouldn't do to keep her safe

I am a bit of a sucker for a story with a Sheriff - must me something to do with the handcuffs lol.

Throw in a feisty woman who is a great big pain in his ar$e, and you got me drawn right in.

This is the first full length story in the Loveless, Texas series, and what a great start to this new series.

I both loved and hated our leading man Case at times.  What a judgemental, prig of a man he was at times.  I could understand his frustration at Aspen, but man the way he went about things, I wanted to throw my kindle at his head for being an asshat hahah

So much is going on in Aspen's life, and I just wanted time for her to breathe! I was exhausted just reading about it.

There's a bit of a whodunnit through this story, and I was surprised when I found out what was going on.

I am looking forward to more of the Loveless, Texas series.
