CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE
REVIEW: After years of raising her orphaned nieces, Ivy Daniels is ready to see what life has in store for her. With the girls running their parents business, Ivy decides to take a much needed vacation. While on vacation she meets a handsome, younger, Jaxon Coffield. Their chemistry is unmistakable and Ivy hasn’t felt this way about a man in a long time. But she’s concerned about the age difference and she’s returning home in a couple of day. Why start a relationship that’s going nowhere? After much thought and encouragement from a friend, Ivy throws caution to the wind and decide to spend one incredible night with Jaxon and then go their separate ways. Fate throws a curve in that plan. While home in Maryland celebrating her niece’s engagement, Jaxon appears at the event to help a friend with his business. They want to be together, but both have issues to resolve before planning a future.

Ivy is a caring and selfless person. She put her life on hold to raise her two nieces after her sister and brother-in-law were killed in a car accident. She promised her sister that she would be their guardian if anything were to happen to them. Jaxon is hurt and disillusioned. His father betrayed him in business, and he left New York never to return. He hasn’t spoken to his father in three years. Now he travels with no direction from place to place taking temporary jobs.

SWEET ON A YOUNGER MAN is a lovely story. It centers around Ivy, a forty year old who spent her twenties and thirties taking care of her orphaned nieces. A sacrifice she gladly made for the well-being of the girls. When the girls are grown up, Ivy learns that she deserve happiness too. She meets Jaxon, a younger man and their chemistry is electrifying. The author did a great job with the narrative. The characters are wonderful, lively, and full of passion. An older woman and younger man develop an amazing relationship that’s worth fighting for. They have some obstacles to overcome but nothing will stand in their way. Because in the end they choose love.

SWEET ON A YOUNGER MAN is an easy read and sweet romance. Ivy and Jaxon were on different journeys, but they were able to combine the two to get the happy ending they wanted. A wonderful story worth reading.
