If you're looking for a sweet romance without much substance, this book is a good option. It's basically a gay Harlequin/Barbara Cartland 1970s romance of the type with a fearful virgin heroine needing a strong fatherly figure to rescue her until such time as she matures enough to be acceptable as a sexual figure, at which time the couple marries and we see nothing of the wedding night. This story is a gay version of that trope. The only major change is that the older, wiser knight in shining armor is only 4 years older than the damsel in distress (which made the constant reiteration of the insurmountable age difference rather perplexing).
