Review: A Different Romance-- Younger Man/Older Woman and Across a Socioeconomic Divide
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 01 2, 2012
She is a 39 year old mother of a college student, four years a widow and trying to rebuild her life in Pittsburgh (really Pittsburgh?!).  He is a 25 year old former street kid with a motorcycle, a pierced nipple, a black leather jacket and a propensity for trouble.  He rescues her one night from a couple of thugs.  She drives away, remembers she left her scarf (sentimental value) and turns back in time to rescue him from a beat down.  She takes him to a hospital ER and then to her apartment where there is (conveniently) only a pull out couch for a bed.Luckily, Gail Dayton makes this unlikely scenario interesting by his past and her family intruding on their present.  And the author doesn't rush the romance although there is mental lusting on both sides.According to Dayton's web site this was one of those books that editors loved but didn't know what to do with it.  I'm glad she put it up in ebook form.  Recommended if you like the younger man/older woman trope and are tired of book titles with "Duke" in them. Oh, yeah and if you want to read a book set in Pittsburgh.
