I've found I have a real affinity for Cougar & Cub stories, whether it's reading them or writing them. There's just something about an older, more experienced, heroine who's still brave enough to look for love!
Of course you can't discount the energy of the younger man either! Or, at least, I can't. Nothing beats a studly hero who's eager and willing to please.
On Monday, I released the second book in my Cougars & Cubs series, Seduced by the Handyman.
As you may have seen earlier in the month when Joan posted her round robin of 'music to read/write by', my song of choice was one that denotes a woman taking hold of her power...namely from the infamous "Daphne takes what she wants" scene from the Bridgerton series. The End by JPolnd is just too good not to write to when working on a steamy lovescene. You can bet my heroine from Seduced by the Handyman had me playing it on repeat!
Here's a bit about the book:
After a prolonged and messy divorce, 42 year old Cate Matthews uses her financial settlement to purchase a condo in a regentrified warehouse. The only problem with her new home is the plumbing. It doesn’t take her long to realize she needs an expert to fix the rusty pipes—both the building’s and her own.
Mitch Taylor, 27 year old former Army Ranger and now full time student, is working hard toward earning his engineering degree while balancing his education with part time work doing household repairs.
When Mitch shows up in Cate’s lecture hall, she’s immediately impressed with his knowledge of U.S. history, a subject to which she’s devoted her academic career. However, as impressed as she is with his historical acumen, when he lands on her doorstep with an impressively large bag of tools in hand, history is the last thing on her mind.
Perhaps this much younger and infinitely sexy man is just what she needs to get her dormant sex life back on track. Given the huge difference in their ages, Cate assumes the relationship will fizzle out after a few—albeit perfect—trips around the bedroom.
Much to her surprise and delight, Mitch seems to be in it for the long haul. Their 15 year age difference is the least of her worries when she realizes how quickly she’s been seduced by the handyman.
Warning: Contains language and lovescenes some readers may find HOT!
Oh, Nancy, you had me playing the song and wishing I could watch Bridgerton again. Guess getting your book is the solution!
ReplyDeleteIt'll be on Netflix forever. It's their most watched. I watch it from start to finish at least once per week. Just for the history ... uh ... right.
DeleteI love older women stories with younger men. Sexually the couple is compatable as they are both in their prime. I loved this story.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds HOT!! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteRead it! LOVED it! Great fun for a quiet afternoon.
ReplyDeleteI'm a cougar. I look younger than I am, and often get approached by the 40 something set. I'm all for cougar/cub romances. Most men my age just aren't able to keep up. Here's to awesome sales.
ReplyDeleteThe story sounds fun!
ReplyDeleteI can't say that I have read a cougar/cub romance, but I have this on my Kindle so I'll find out. I have a divorced girlfriend who often gets hit on by much younger men and gets involved with them. Now that I'm of cougar age this kind of romance sounds very appealing. Best wishes for SEDUCED BY THE HANDYMAN!
ReplyDeleteI've read a few stories like these and I've always enjoyed them. I appreciate heroines who know what they're about and these books usually have that.
ReplyDeleteNancy, you're right about that song. Perfect seduction music. I actually know several older woman-young man marriages, and they've all worked out well. Good luck with this. Can't wait to read it.
