WOW! Proof that Siobhan Davis can write from one of my least favorite tropes and her writing can still captivate me. ReversENDEARING & FORBIDDEN LOVE!
WOW! Proof that Siobhan Davis can write from one of my least favorite tropes and her writing can still captivate me. Reverse Age Gap is a trope I barely read from, I learned early on I didn't enjoy it much. Not sure what it is but it's just not my thing. So I never seek them out, but when one of my favorite authors writes one I already know I'm going to read it. Siobhan writes some of the most angsty & heartbreaking romances out there. This woman is going to bring you a beautiful romance and then put you through the ringer before you get to enjoy their happily ever after. And she does it in a way that leaves you saying, "Yes, please can I have more?!!!!" This is exactly what happened with Always Meant To Be.
If you roll into this book expecting or just wanting some age gap romance, you are going to miss out. There is a bigger story playing out here; I just hope you all see it and enjoy it as much as I did. These two have a powerful & passionate love that can endure anything that threatens it. There's just enough of forbidden mixed with a whole lot of adoration, passion and anguish. I'm always drawn to forbidden love stories, but the author has to do the work to keep me once I get there. Siobhan Davis has accomplished that with this endearing and enchanting romance....more
Unexpected was a great in between read! I just finished a really intense read and wanted something completely different! The foSWEET & STEAMY AGE GAP!
Unexpected was a great in between read! I just finished a really intense read and wanted something completely different! The forbidden aspect of the heroine being with her best friend's dad sucked me in but the sweet & steamy way these two characters connected is what held my attention. The heroine is sweet and strong but she really blossoms under the love of her hero. Having that person who supports and boosts you really helped develop her character into one that I enjoyed a lot. Also with her age, you don't run into all the drama that sometimes accompanies the younger heroine age gaps. I really enjoyed that not being in this one.
Age gap is one of my TOP tropes to read, it's my GO-TO to break things up when it seems my other reads start to run in together! Usually the heroine in my age gap reads are fairly young. 18-22 age range with the hero being in his late 30's-early 40's. With Unexpected, I was shocked to discover that the heroine in this one was 3o years old and her hero is in his mid-late 50's. Which gives them the same age gap that my other reads normally have. I haven't read many with both main characters are older, so I was shocked I enjoyed it as much as I did. One thing I loved was that his age number is mentioned maybe maybe twice in the entire book. Not to mention, the heroine also often credits him with having taken such good care of his body and that he looks really great, meaning that he doesn't look his age. So if you love age gaps and think that his age might bother you, trust me when I say you won't even dwell on it. Also, on the other hand...maybe you love age gaps but don't enjoy the younger generation ones, so this one will be perfect for you. Even though I really enjoyed the characters and plot of this story, I felt like the writing was the only thing that didn't work well for me. It was okay, I felt like there wasn't much depth with the writing and that made me a bit sad. I could see so much depth for the characters at times but it felt like the author just left it at the surface. Ultimately, this was a quick and sweet age gap.
I feel like I should also say...this is part of a series although I did NOT read any of the other books in this series and didn't feel lost at any point. The author did a great job introducing the side characters in a way that allowed me to see who they were to the heroine!...more

Handsome Devil is a quick & sexy read; grab this one if you love reading about heroines who fall for their best friend's dads. Henry is moody & definitely not fun when Laila starts the trip with him in Boston. Somewhere between there & Las Vegas these two connect in more ways than one! This one had me laughing a few times & it was definitely filled with lots of sexy and entertaining moments between the hero & heroine.
I will say that this one was not a deep read so if you're looking for something quick, easy and slightly forbidden....this is your book! This book was less than 200 pages, I recognize that it's not easy to dive too deep into your characters when it is a quick read. I enjoy books with plot or character depth but sometimes I just really prefer to read a simple and enjoyable book. This was one of those times. ...more
