5.0 out of 5 stars Equal parts adorable, a little complicated, definitely hot, and swoon worthy!
Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2022

I absolutely fell in love with so many things about this book. I love that Harper is a strong, independent woman who finds out who she really is, not her through the lens of someone else, just her, while also finding love. I love that Tate is totally, and irrevocably, enamored with Harper. But, he too also goes through this growth of wanting to plan a life with someone else that gives him roots. Their story is equal parts adorable, a little complicated, definitely hot and definitely gave me extra heart eyes…. Especially after some of the more romantically swoony moments. I also loved that it was a little quirky and made me laugh. Also, Tate’s flirting? Geeze, Harper didn’t stand a chance!
Now, it isn’t completely smooth sailing for our wonderful couple, but, I think the bumps they do have are pretty realistic for their situation (both have different insecurities) and they both take chances to fight for their love; to make their relationship work. I was cheering them on!
This was just a wonderful read.

✨The thing that Tate bonds over with his parents… IYKYK. I was so entertained picturing this in my head. I won’t ruin it for you, you’ll have to read to figure it out.
✨The heat between Harper and Tate?! Goodness gracious.
✨Tate’s family. I love them. They had me laughing so much, I think if they were real they may have their own reality show.

Waiting is one you will not be able to put down. If you love a little bit of an age gap romance, then you are going to fall hard for Harper and Tate. Harper is an amazingly strong independent woman who is back on the dating scene. Tate has had a thing for Harper for years and once he finds out she is not taken any more nothing holds him back. I love the flirty ways Tate has when it comes to everything about Harper. He knows what he wants and is not afraid to go after him. The age difference may cause a little bit of an issue from time to time, but this couple will just own your heart all the way through. I love how supportive of each other Harper and Tate are. There is such a sweet yet hot love between them that you are going to fall hard for. I could not get enough of Tate and Harper. I loved this one so much. Go one click it today.

I always enjoy reading age gap OWYM romance and this one didn’t disappoint😍. Tate was waiting years and moved fast swooping in to make Harper his when he got the chance😘.

Tate’s flirt game was 💯 and there was no way Harper could have brushed it off for very long🥰 totally swoon worthy. He made sure that his one chance with Harper will end up in something long term. Harper thank goodness didn't press much about the age and vast difference in their professional life. Tate def knew he had to step up actively working towards bettering their life together financially. I think with any relationship a man would be a bit insecure of their lover still having a friendship with their ex. It certainly was the cause of disagreements and he really should have trusted Harper about it. It melted my heart at how much thought he put into the times he spent with her🥰🥰🥰 The sexual chemistry and their acts of desire were steamy hot🔥😈😡. Love that Tate spoke of his love for Harper in all three languages. I truly enjoyed Tate's parents and his extended family, the uncle were a hoot from both the Spanish and Irish side, and their love of all things Elvis and drinking🎶🍻.

Love knows no age difference, race or gender and I’m so happy that Tate’s infatuation of the lady he served at the restaurant left her number for him to shoot his shot😘😘😘. If you have read Aleatory you’ll enjoy this book, I highly recommend it👍🏽

3.0 out of 5 stars Age gap romance!
Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2022

I was excited to check out this book because I love a good steamy older woman, younger man age gap story. Strong female character in Harper. She's already established in her job and her life. Then there's Tate who is still working things out for what he wants and has become seemingly complacent in his job. I did like the characters separately, but I'm not sure how their relationship grew since I didn't feel like we saw any of that. They had a really good first date and then they were together all of a sudden. The relationship time jumping kinda threw me off.
Sometimes a bit too heavy on the internal dialog rather than the conversation currently happening. It makes everything a bit disjointed and I kept losing the momentum of the conversations.

I enjoyed this dynamic. I love seeing the age difference with an older woman and a younger man. While I did get frustrated with the reminder that Tate was younger than Harper, I understood how that could be a constant thought.

I enjoyed seeing the natural growth of the pair, everything seemed to be so natural, the emotions, the worries, the thought processes were all very real life, and that made the storyline that much more enjoyable.

Another Xavier Neal read that I love, I'm sure I'll reread in the future.

4.0 out of 5 stars Harper and Tate!
Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2023

Harper believes that enough time has passed since her divorce and that she is ready for another relationship. When she arrives at her favorite restaurant for a date she never expected that the chemistry and connection she would feel would be with the waiter she has interacted with numerous times who is younger than she is.

Tate has had feelings for Harper since he first saw her, but he believes in family and marriage and wasn’t about to interfere with hers. Finding out that she is single he isn’t about to just let her walk out of her life. He is determined to show her that the age difference doesn’t matter, and he can give her the love and family she has always wanted.

Tate and Harper were so much fun between their witty interactions, the hot chemistry and his family and her friends were a great addition. I thought the narrators portrayed the feelings of the characters as well as the heat between them very well. 🎧 Pink Flamingo Productions

I'm not too sure about this read as I felt like it is double the length it should have been. Don't get me wrong it was an ok read and I was excited and engaged for some of it but not so throughout as I had to skip read some pages. The book felt a bit stretched at times and my excitement would dip.

A very different pace from this author's other books. I liked it though, a touch Mills &Boon ish but still a good read. Soft and gentle I think is the best way to describe it.
