Review: Julie Jaret delivers a realistic story with a twist

Combining the younger man/older woman concept with a carefully planned character empowerment and development makes for a powerful and sexy story. Realistic characters come with strong, individualistic personalities and the male protagonist has what an "old soul", seeing through the lies of the main character. The novel's emotional rise and falls throughout the novel rises into an unexpected climax and shifted into a bittersweet denouement. Despite not having the "expected" HEA (Happy Ever After) ending that most readers expect, Extreme Close-Up ended with a clean, happy ending that would be labeled "acceptable" in real life, though felt somewhat sad in context.I was given an e-copy of this book by The Jeep Diva for the purpose of an honest review. I was not compensated for this review--all conclusions are my own responsibility.Flames: 4
