I found this as recommended by one of my good read friends... I wasn't too sure about it when I looked at the cover and also read about the book, but it intrigued me from what was written in reviews... I am glad that I did give it a chance!!It was a short read, and some really good things in this book.. and some pretty steamy sex scenes I might add...The author did a fabulous job with the 'older woman' with 'younger man' relationship (if you want to call it that)Lisa is divorced, single mother who struggles not only financially, but also with her self image and self worth... Her 15 yr old son, Jake is off at camp, but asks his longtime family friend, Braden (who was raised like a brother to him) to check on his mom while he is gone.This is where it get's a little twisted....Lisa's ex-husband,had an affair with Braden's mother (who use to be Lisa's bff) and they are now married... There families went on family vacations together, outings, Braden use to babysit Jake when the two couples went out together... (so now she is divorced and Braden is out of college and 23 yrs old to Lisa's 41yrs)Braden has always found Lisa attractive and he still does, he doesn't like how she is in such a slump.. While his mother and 'step father' (who he can't stand and lisa's ex) are out of the country.. He seduces Lisa and begins to show her how beautiful she really is and gives her the confidence she has been lacking for so long. There are some major HOT steamy bedroom scenes!! WOW!and Lisa has helped Braden believe in himself as well.. for his future goal, being a sports medicine doctor. She believed in him, when his own family did not.. helped him to study for his exams for medical school...They do get wrapped up in the attraction and lust of one another but they are thrown into reality (I won't spoil that part for you) and things work it self out..This was a fun read and I was at times finding myself grinding my teeth thinking about the age difference and also the relationship since Braden was a kid.. But then again I found myself routing for the two of them to find happiness in their lives as well..it is a complicated story to write about.. I really enjoyed this book - I hope you read it.. is was very good!! I only wish I had more of the ending... I would have liked and epilogue or something to see where they are in a couple years... but, maybe there will be a book 2 ???
