Review: More than I expected...

I wasn't sure if I would enjoy this book when I started, knowing in advance about the age difference between the two main characters. Let me start by saying that little boy grew up into an amazing man, even if he wasn't 18 yet. Let me also say, I thought this book would be so much about Caroline teaching Sebastian how to love... But in the end, I think it was so much more. I think the education went both ways, Sebastian taught Caroline how to live.Sebastian and Caroline first met when Sebastian was just eight years old. Caroline was young, but an adult. She adored the little boy who would come over everyday to visit. Her dad and little Sebastian were buddies. Sebastian never forgot the bond he formed with Caroline.Caroline and her evil husband move away, but return 10 years later... Sebastian has grown up. Now a surfing 17-year-old boy and hot, he finds his Caroline.But somewhere along the way, she teaches him how to love like adults and he teaches her how to live a life she didn't know she could have.Fate may have brought these two together, or was it the military? Either way, they found eachother, but when people start coming to the conclusion that these two are together having one heck of an affair, it could destroy both of them.Sebastian is so in love with the one person that treated him like he was special and could accomplish the world and his parents, mean as all hell, threaten to take that away from him...ugh.The book may not let you forget their age difference, but the love the two share makes the read so worth it.I loved watching how much these two characters evolved and grew in this book. Jane Harvey-Berrick did an amazing job with the evolution not only with each character, but with the love they shared. It was a beautiful love story and not one I will soon forget.
