About this eBook

I lived my life in temporaries.

 

Temporary relationships. Temporary production contracts. Temporary lengths of time in different locations around the world.

 

No ties. No strings.

 

That was better for everyone.

 

Except, Pierce didn’t see it that way, didn’t understand we’d had our temporary fun and it was time to move on. Fifteen years my junior, Pierce was a talented young director, lovely on both the inside and out, great sense of humor, and frankly, he had the best set of abs I’d ever seen on any human. But the key word in the previous statement was young.

 

And circling back to temporary.

 

Except, Pierce had gotten it into his head that he didn’t want temporary. He wanted me and not just in his bed.

 

He wanted me in his life . . . permanently.

 

The scariest part? I was worried I might want that too.

Ratings and reviews

Artemis (aka Artie) Miller is a successful Hollywood film producer that has a dark past in Hollywood. Romantically speaking she only does hook ups and keeps things very surface and shallow. Once she’s done with a man, she’s done with a man. No hard feelings. Her life is her only true companion. Pierce Daniels is a hot young Hollywood director. He wants to make films of quality and meaning, which leads him to Artie. He has decided that Artie is the woman for him. However, Artie is not interested in happily ever after and forever type relationships. What’s a man in love supposed to do? Elise Faber is now on my list of favorite contemporary romance/erotica novelist. She is consistent with her writing and characters. When I read the names of the main characters, Artemis and Pierce, I knew this story was going to be a doozie! Those are strong fierce names for both characters, so you know there are going to be fireworks with these “alphas.” I am not usually keen on stories set in Hollywood arena because the characters are always “breathtakingly beautiful” or “painfully sexy”. Elise did not spend a whole lot of time on the physical characteristics of either Artie or Pierce. Although the title alludes to the age difference between Artie and Pierce, it is not the elephant in the room for them. The raw chemistry between Artie and Pierce is steamy, sexy and borderline raunchy. I loved the dialogue between them. It was intense at times, flirty at others and sympathetic at different times. The slow but steady shift in Artie and Pierce’s relationship over time and the shift in Artie’s self-esteem and self-confidence was enough to keep me reading. I enjoyed that both characters maintained their traits and personality to the end of the story. This was not the typical male-female hierarchy novel. This novel is Romance Channel worthy. I received a free advanced copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review.
