You’ve heard the story about the wedding planner who falls for the groom?

Well, this is the one where she falls for his father.

And that groom? He’s my ex.

I didn’t realize who the gruff, gorgeous older man was the night he rescued me from a creep in a Manhattan hotel bar. All I knew was that a hot, bearded stranger with a protective streak showed up right when I needed a reminder that real gentlemen still exist.

(Although he left his manners behind after asking me up to his room.)

It was the hottest night of my life, but I never thought I’d see the former Navy SEAL again.

Imagine my surprise at the rehearsal dinner one week later, when my sexy one-night stand is introduced as the father of the groom. Even more surprising? That temptation we felt in New York was no fluke.

In public, we pretend there’s nothing between us.

In private, we can’t keep our hands off each other.

The situation is beyond complicated. Zach never even knew he’d fathered a child until recently, and he wants to earn his son’s trust and respect. As for me, I’m looking for a man who wants to start a family, and Zach has made it clear he’s not that man. He’s fifteen years older, newly divorced, and he lives across the country.

But no matter how many times we draw the line, we keep crossing it.

Nothing so wrong should ever feel so right.

Admittedly I haven’t read a Melanie Harlow book in some time but when I saw this cover and the blurb and saw that it was an age-gap forbidden romance, I was hooked and so very tempted! Age-gap is my jam!

Millie and Zach meet at a bar in a hotel when their flights are canceled and he saves from a gross creeper. Their one-night stand is HOT and after they can’t forget each other, doomed to think they will never see each other again, when they cross paths at his son’s wedding (his son her ex boyfriend and a wedding she planned!! GAH!)

You see Zach never knew he had a son until recently, he never really let anyone into his life for reasons you will learn on your own, and seeing Millie again, while he knows it’s forbidden, while it goes against his very nature, he can’t help but want more with her.

Millie is the ultimate dreamer, a beautiful, curvy, comfortable and confident in herself woman who knows that it’s wrong to be sneaking behind people’s backs to be with Zach but there’s just something there that she doesn’t want to let go of.

The sparks fly, their time together all-consuming and passionate and freakin HOT AS HELL. But when they know their time is over, their lies exposed, can Zach let her into his life and heart?

YOU WILL HAVE TO READ IT TO FIND OUT!!

I love Harlow’s writing… I’ve forgotten how she creates magic on the pages. I look forward to catching up with what I’ve missed and for more in the future. Well done ❤️
