Publisher's Summary

Tips for Surviving a Fling with a Sexy Younger Man

First, you’d think as a thirty-something-year-old woman, I’d be immune to Griffin’s flirty comments and six-pack abs. You’d think that his carefree playboy attitude, or the fact that he’s still finishing grad school would deter me.

You’d be wrong.

If you accidentally bang your best friend’s younger brother, here are a few important tips...

One: Do not brag to your friend about how well-endowed her brother is. 

Two: Do not go back for seconds (or thirds).

Three: Do not let him see your muffin top or jiggly behind. And definitely don’t let him feed you cookies in bed. Cookies are bad. Remember that.

Four: Act like a damn grown-up and apologize for riding him like a bull at the rodeo. And do not flirt with him when he laughs at said apology.

Five: This one is crucial, so pay attention.

Do not, under any circumstances, fall in love with him.

Ok

This book was ok. For some reason the author wrote a 33 year old like she was pushing 80. While ten years is a big age difference, it often felt like the heroine dismissed the hero a lot by telling him he wasn’t ready for all the things she was, while being mad when he decided things that didn’t include her.

While this read is super tropish, neither the H/h were all that memorable. Age gap where the woman is older is usually my jam but for some reason people have it in their heads you die at 29.

Cute read just didn’t wow me.

Layne and Griffin

This trope of books is not usually my favorite as so often I don't like how the characters are portrayed but since I love Kendall's books I jumped in anyway. She did an amazing job of portraying Layne as a strong, career oriented woman, who still wants a husband and kids, Griffin was always mature beyond his years but in the few years the book takes place, he really grows up and into himself, proving how much the age difference doesn't matter. Griffin knows from day 1 that Layne is forever but it takes her time to realize this. Years of a deep rooted friendship leads to a deep rooted love unlike any other. Kendall Ryan did an amazing job with this book.

Everything I hoped it would be!

Kendall is an auto-listen for me, so I’ve had this one in my wish list forever!! And Griffin and Layne are fantastic! I’m very grateful that there wasn’t the more darker tones that some age gap or unrequited love stories can take on. Their progress flowed, and felt natural and real.

Griffin for sure makes book boyfriend list!

Slow Burn

This is the first book I've read by this author and it is definitely a slow burn. Griffin is immediately attracted to Layne but has to settle for friendship when Layne places him in the friend zone due to his age and she's his sister's best friend. I enjoyed seeing their relationship unfold but at times Layne seemed immature. Griffin may be younger, but he's more emotionally mature, even with his cocky attitude. It's a cute story but I feel like it could have used a bit more depth to their relationship.

Christian Fox and Emma Wilder do a good job narrating this one.

Storyline is lackind

I was looking forward to this book because there aren't many in this trope. The woman in the story seemed very immature and wouldn't believe what she was told over and over. She was so frustrating. The narrators were good, though.

Wasn’t my favorite by this author.

Sadly this just missed the mark for me. I didn’t female narrator’s male voice impersonation. Sorry started out great. And just sort of fell flat. By middle it was just too full of angst and emotional immaturity for the woman’s age. I found myself rolling my eyes.

If I could return it, I would. Which is sad, because I adore Kendall Ryan. I would really love to see her revisit this story. Def could benefit as a duet.

A Fun Romance❣️ Compelling Characters❣️

This was a truly fun book. Both main characters Layne & Griffin are so easy to love and compelling to learn about. 💖💖💖 Some very enjoyable moments between them throughout their journey together and discovery of each other. 💞 This a verified HEA and Kendall Ryan gives listeners a spectacular ending even before the epilogue. Don’t miss this light-hearted but deeply moving story. Bravo‼️ 👏👏👏👏 A highly recommended read. A+++++

Slow burn swoon

Griffin and Layne were a sweet and sexy couple that took a while to figure things out. Kendall Ryan took a beautiful and realistic approach to an age gap and friends to lovers story and I fell in love with Griffin as well. Christian Fox and Emma Wilder were fantastic as always and brought the sexy and sultry to these charming characters.
