Ready For Him: A Single Dad Next Door Romance by Alyson HaleMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Ready For Him was really a fun, quick little read. I love a good older man younger woman romance pretty much anytime. Who doesn't! They are super hot!
Grant was a delectable hunk of man and Cheyanne was a stereotypical virginal 18-year-old with a childhood long obsession with the hot older neighbor boy. Can't go wrong unless your expecting some major "OMG... What just happened" plot twist...
Spoiler alert...
There isn't one...
Just a little sexual tension turned to super hot sex and a cute little boy. BUT that was good enough for me :)
I thought Hale did a nice job with characterization and pacing the plot line given the fact that there was a minimal number of pages. There were some things I thought could have made it a little more engaging and give us a better understanding of each characters motives and general personality, but given the fact that the book was a novella, I can understand why we didn't get much detail on each of their lives outside the building relationship between the MC's.
Our heroine Cheyanne is back home to look after her father who just suffered a heart attack and needs some caretaking. Our Hero Grant is also back in town to fix up and move into his parents home (His childhood home) with his 3-year-old son after going through a rough divorce with his ex-wife. Grant and Cheyanne have always shared a special connection despite their 10 year age gap. Cheyanne has always looked at Grant like her super-hero and grant has always seen Cheyanne as the cute little girl next door who always looked up to him. Now that they are both back in town they reconnect over Cheyanne's backyard pool, his son's love for swimming and Grants need for a dependable babysitter. At the first interaction, they both know their connection is still simmering between them, but something not so innocent is now sparking right alongside it.
This was a very cute story and while some of the dialogue could be a little trite I thought it was overall a good read!
