Surprise Of His Life (Special Edition) by Karen Keast

Practically perfect book. May/December theme which is a favorite of mine. This story is very well written. He is her father's best friend and is the heroine's godfather. You know both characters intimately. One of the best portrayals of realistic emotions I've ever read. You watch the hero, Walker, become aware of Lindsey as a woman slowly and see him fight against the attraction he feels for her until finally he can't fight any longer. You see her try to get him to realize that she is grown up and is making a mature decision. She has known how she feels for some time and does not come across as too young to know her own mind at all. She's 23, he's 47. Most of the story is the two of them together so you get to enjoy the whole progression of their relationship. Every scene is necessary and nothing drags. You also get to see how their relationship is received by her father/his best friend. I didn't end up saying "boy I wish there had been a scene showing X or Y" like I do so many times.… (more)
