I really enjoyed this book. One of the things I really enjoyed about it was the length – it didn’t stop and just carried on. There is nothing worse than a book that just stops after about 200 pages leaving you wanting more story.
This is a beautiful age gap romance and Kate and Carter meet when Carter runs the rowing programme that Kate’s teenage daughter Maddie is in. And there really is no stopping them then – the rest is inevitable.
There are some funny moments, sad moments, and some proper heart warming moments.
I think Kate and Carter may have a medical issue in common though – their eyes keep rolling back in their head when they kiss. They should get that checked out.
Inevitably there is a potential issue when Carter’s parents realise Kate’s age – but she wins them over so crisis averted.

There is of course an epilogue
This sees them a 3 years later getting on with life.

There is a lot of knowledge about rowing and quite a bit about green science – so well researched and/or using pre existing knowledge. It starts with a rowing terms glossary! Came in very handy.
The pages are in places dripping in emotion and longing – beautifully written.
It brings into question the social acceptance of age gap relationships. Who does the gap matter to most? I’d say it’s usually the parents of the younger woman that voice their objections. Is there such as thing as a gap that is too large? It is only the business of those in the relationship though.

Anyway. I loved this book. I might read it again.
