Publisher's summary

Twenty-three-year-old Ren Haynes returns home after graduating college with two goals - start his engineering career and claim the heart of his parents' 31-year-old divorced neighbor, Stacey Williams.

Stacey is nursing her broken heart and shattered ego. Not only did her ex-husband have an affair, he got the woman pregnant. Picking up the pieces of her life isn't easy, so when Ren taps into her need to feel desired again, she finds herself in a position she never imagined.

Can Ren help to rebuild her confidence and convince her that age is just a number?

The boy next door is smokin’ hot!!

If you are looking for a fun, sexy listen, then this one is for you. Ren has recently graduated from college and he has been hot for his 31 year old next door neighbor, Stacey, since he was 13. Stacey is now divorced and Ren is all grown up and dead set on making her his. Loved this take on the May December romance trophe. The dynamic between Ren and Stacey is very realistic considering the circumstances, plus the chemistry between the two is hot! That combined with fantastic narration makes this sexy, angsty book a must listen.

Age ain't nothing but a number

This book was amazing. It follows Ren who is in love with Stacey who is 8 years his senior and his next door neighbor. Done with college and after finding Stacey now single after her divorce, Ren finally has his chance to be with Stacey. He knows it won't be easy to get her to see how perfect they are together, but love is never easy.
Stacey never realized that Ren had feelings for her. There are so many obstacles that they must face in order to be happy. Stacey just has to decide if loving Ren is worth it all. It's an amazing story showing how one man will not let anyone come between him and the woman he loves, that includes his parents.
The narrators gave the characters such life and had me hanging on to every word. I was not disappointed.

I enjoyed this beautiful story!

Loved this story! Wren has always been in love with his beautiful and older neighbor. But, she was married. He finished college and she is divorced. He finally has a chance with her, the only trouble is trying to convince her!
My disappointment is how very short this book was! It left me wanting more of their love story!
Joe Arden and Samantha Cook are amazing Narrators.

👍

I did love this book, but I’ve gotta say that I wish there had been more of a buildup or history showing WHY he loved her. I just didn’t buy in early in the book. Later I let that feeling go, but it was just hard to believe that much love was there without any buildup to it.

Light, Sexy read

I really enjoyed the story and the narration. It was a nice change of pace from typical older man/younger women story line. 31 year old Stacy is picking up the pieces after a sudden divorce from a cheating husband. Ren is her 23 year old neighbor, just home from college.
Ren was amazingly sweet and pursued Stacy like gentleman, giving her the space she needed. Definitely a great story when you want a good, easy read.

Insecure heroine

This heroine was so whiny and insecure. She continuously telling him to find someone else his age, yet she still wanted him. Her character was so frustrating that it was hard to like her or enjoy the story. No wonder her ex had affair! Although I don’t like or believe that cheating is okay but she probably push him to sleep with the other woman.

Hot and swoon but too short

Ok so first we jump right into it with barely a back story of any kind. Then we have a good story and then Bam 💥 it’s over with not even an epilogue. Come on.. this story has a main character that teaches composition and talks about character development and here we have an author that neglected all of that. Needs several more chapters. On a positive note it was a cute story with some hot moments and the hero was so fucking adorable and swoon worthy. I just needed more. More story, more development and more time.

A Light and Sexy Listen

Overall 3.5 stars
Performance 4 stars
Story 3 stars

This was a sweet and sexy younger man/older woman romance. This is my first book by the author and though I did enjoy it, I do wish there would have been more back story and build up for Ren and Stacey. Even just a few glimpses into their earlier friendship/relationship within the last year or two would have been helpful to set the stage for what was to come. Instead, the story starts off with a bang (pun intended), and I felt like I was playing catch up with the emotions for the majority of the story.

I did appreciate that the author was realistic with her portrayal of this trope (the fears, concerns, challenges, and stigma) and found the chapter where Ren's mother confronted Ren and Stacey extremely moving and powerful. I also loved Ren's father and how supportive he was of his son. There wasn't too much external drama and though I liked that the story stayed focused on Ren and Stacey, it also meant that there wasn't much movement to the story/plot. I enjoyed both narrators, but Joe Arden really stole the show. He captured Ren's youthful vulnerability and sexy swagger so perfectly that I really looked forward to his chapters the most. Overall, this was a light and sexy listen.

The older woman

I liked this one. I took a bit of a chance on this book since I have never read anything written by Jessica Jayne and both of the narrators were new to me. It was a gamble that paid off. It is a rather quick read and I ended up listening to the bulk of it in a single day and found it to be very enjoyable.

Stacey is a thirty-one year old divorced woman who has know Ren for years since she lives next to Ren's parents. Ren is a twenty-three year old recent college graduate who has his eye set on his neighbor. Ren has spent time during the past several summers helping Stacey out around her house and they have a pretty close friendship but Ren wants more. A lot more. Stacey has some issues with the fact that she is older than Ren and she considers his mother to be one of her friends.

I liked Stacey and Ren and thought that they made a really nice couple. They know each other really well from the time before the start of this story and their personalities mesh really well. They have great chemistry together. There were times that Stacey wasn't sure she should pursue a relationship with Ren but there was never a question regarding whether she wanted him. It was nice to see her thought processes as she tried to figure things out. I loved how Ren knew what he wanted and was determined to make it happen. He stood up for their relationship and really was a good match for Stacey.

I thought that Joe Arden and Samantha Cooke did a great job with this story. I usually listen to audiobooks at regular 1x speed and I did find that felt a little slow when Samantha Cooke was reading. Once I increased the speed to 1.25x speed, the reading felt a lot more natural to me. I thought that both narrators were able to bring a lot of emotion to the story and made some scenes more intense. I liked the voices that each narrator used for the characters in the story. I would not hesitate to listen to more of both of their work in the future.

I would recommend this book to fans of contemporary romance. This was a nice quick listen that had a lot of feels and some heat. I thought that Ren and Stacey were great as a couple and I was excited to watch them figure out how to make things work. I look forward to reading more of Jessica Jayne's work in the future.

I received a review copy of this audiobook from the author via Caffeinated Services.
