About this ebook

Nobody writes blue collar romance like Laramie Briscoe...

I’m old enough to be her father, and a life-long confirmed bachelor, but after one night together, all that is about to change.

Boone Wilson

Instead of building my forever with a conventional family, I’ve dedicated my life to being the best father I can to the son I had way too early in life. Now that he’s grown, I’m giving all I can to my job. I make a construction site run smoothly, and can build anything with a couple pieces of wood and my imagination. 

My world is small and calm. That’s how I like it. Until Alexis Monroe barrels her way into my peaceful existence and turns my world upside down.

Alexis Monroe

Since graduating college I’ve been hustling, trying to make a dent in the crippling student loan debt I’ve accumulated. Just when I think I’m about to hit major burnout, Boone Wilson walks into the bar I sling drinks at.

His swagger and quiet self-assuredness is a flame that draws me to him.

All I can do now? Try not to get burned.

Ratings and reviews

Short but interesting An age gap romance but a normal, every day type of couple. A man who fathered and raised a child from age of 15, now turning 40. Determined to be a 'one and done', single until the day he dies. A young woman, out of college, unable to get a job using her degree, working 2 jobs to make ends meet and has a large debt due to student loans. Fast paced development in their relationship because this is a short story, but no less entertaining and engaging. More interesting because the male is working construction, a regular guy with regular concerns, and has realistic thought and feelings; the female has an old head on young shoulders vibe. Both characters have depth and it makes a different read to the multi millionaire guy who swoops in the lift the innocent downtrodden girl. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Age gap has been my go to lately and this one is smokin hot. There is a spark between Boone and Alexis that slowly ignites and becomes a full on flame! It may seem they don’t have a lot in common but they are both so good for one another. Loved their dialogue and banter! And can I say this is one of my most favorite covers I’ve seen this year!! Looking forward to reading other books by Laramie.

Alexis is ready to take the world by storm, but the world is taking its own sweet time letting her get on with it. In the meantime, she’s been crushing on Boone for what feels like forever. Boone was burned by relationships in the past and has an understandable reluctance to ever get into another, but there’s something about Alexis that draws him in, and protecting her from jerks might just be his new calling. This quick read was spicy but oh so sweet. Boone has all the alpha caretaker energy
