When I was five years old I told Toren Grace we were going to get married someday. He’d been my best friend, my protector, and my rock since the day I was born. He was my world. In fact, his name was my very first word.He wasn’t just my favorite person, though.
He was also my dad’s best friend and my pseudo-uncle.
But during my senior year of high school, our relationship slowly changed. Innocent friendship turned to stolen glances. Silly conversations morphed into serious heart-to-hearts. And then one day, an unexpected smoldering kiss changed everything.
While that kiss was everything I’d ever dreamed of, it knocked Tor clear off his axis. He’s one of the good guys—loving and devoted with a strong moral compass . . . which makes it impossible for him to accept our feelings for each other. Because not only are we both the one person the other should never, ever want, I’m eighteen, and Tor is fifteen years older than me.
Despite that, the heart wants what the heart wants, and ours have decided we’re meant to be together no matter what.
But neither one of us can stand to betray or hurt my father, who trusts Tor with everything precious to him. We can’t be in a secret relationship forever, so what will happen when my father finds out his best friend is in love with his daughter?
Will there be a way for us to find our happily ever after? Or we will all be torn apart?
I read this book for the first time in August 2022, when I read it the first impression I had was that Toren Grace imprinted himself on Kenzi Allyster Valentinem much like the way Jacob imprited himself on Bella and Edward's daughter in TWILIGHT, but after the first few chapters that tought disappeared and didn't reapear until I had written my review at that time and once again when I started rereading this book.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I love age gap romances; this one is a bit different and a little tab00er than the other age gap romances I have previously read, but oh how I loved it.
Toren Grace always loved his goddaughter, but not in the creepy way you might think; he was a caring, loving adult in Kenzi's life from the day she was born. Now, before you go clutching your pearls or getting your p@nties in a twist, you need to know that her parents, along with Tor, her dad's best friend, were all teenagers when she was born. There is no huge age gap here, it's about fifteen years, and there is no underage s3x.
Tor and Kenzi's feelings for one another start to change during her senior year of high school. There are many emotions that wreak havoc on both Tor and Kenzi's hearts. This is an emotional, slow-burning story about two people who try to figure out if they should follow their hearts or their brains. Will it be worth putting their hearts on the line if no one will accept them? Will they be able to stay away from one another and not listen to their hearts? You'll have to read the book to find out because I won't be spoiling anything for you. Listening to the book adds a lot to the story, so if possible, I recommend listening to the audiobook. Noelle Bridges and Mason Lloyd add depth to the characters, and through the emotions they portray, a beautiful and, at times, heartbreaking story.
Happy Reading or Listening!!!
