The Younger Man is a delightful surprise. I was expecting a frothy, chick-lit book of little consequence, but instead I got a meaty read that was so much more satisfying.Frances has issues. With two failed marriages and a hostile daughter, she treats her therapist like a best friend. There's something in the saying about when you least look for love, that's when it finds you - because the last thing Frances wants is another relationship, and that's when she bumps into Martin. He is looking for a date to take to an ex's wedding, but when the girl he hoped to take storms out on him, Frances steps in to take her place. Because there is nothing riding on the relationship, Frances relaxes and allows her real self to shine through.This book is a romance that restores my faith in the genre. It's not about instant gratification but about the slow building of emotion, and the sheer confusion of over thinking things. The Younger Man is a book to immerse yourself in and enjoy the ride as the characters and plot unfold.If you want flimsy and inconsequential this is NOT the book for you. If you like romance with something between the ears - then don't hesitate - pick up The Younger Man, today!
