[Blog Tour] All Grown Up by Vi Keeland - Review


ALL GROWN UP IS LIVE!
A Standalone Contemporary Romance
#1 New York Times Bestselling Author Vi Keeland
SYNOPSIS
When I first encountered Ford Donovan, I had no idea who he was…well, other than the obvious. Young, gorgeous, successful, smart. Did I mention young? If I did, it bears repeating. Ford Donovan was too young for me.

Let’s back up to how it all started. My best friend decided I needed to start dating again. So, without my knowledge, she set up a profile for me on a popular dating site—one that invited men ages twenty-one to twenty-seven to apply for a date. Those nicknamed Cunnilingus King were told they’d go straight to the top for consideration. The profile wasn’t supposed to go live. Another point that bears repeating—it wasn’t supposed to.

Nevertheless, that’s how I met Ford, and we started messaging. He made me laugh; yet I was adamant that because of his age, we could only be friends. But after weeks of wearing me down, I finally agreed to one date only—my first after twenty years of being with my high school sweetheart. I knew it couldn’t last, but I was curious about him.

Though, you know what they say…curiosity kills the cat.

My legs wobbled walking into the restaurant.

Ford was seated at the bar. When he turned around, he took my breath away.

His sexy smile nearly melted my panties.

But…he looked so familiar.

As I got closer I realized why.

He was the son of the neighbor at our family’s summer home.

The boy next door.

Only now…he was all man.

I hadn’t seen him in years.

I left the restaurant and planned to put the entire crazy thing behind me.

Which I did. Until summer came.

And guess who decided to use his family’s summer home this year?

My Review:

I've been a Vi Keeland fan for a while now. She is hands down one of my favorite romance authors ever. She always gives you the perfect blend of sexy and heartwarming. It should come as no surprise that her latest release is also a really good one! It's more than really good. I LOVED IT. I was definitely intrigued by the premise when I first was introduced to it because the female lead is older. Ford is 25 and Val is 37, so a 12 year age gap. I really liked that a lot of the book focused on age being just a number, and it's more about who you are as a person and your lived experiences. Ford becomes the guardian to his younger sister quite early due to a tragic family accident, and Val is finding herself trying to navigate the world of a divorcee, and starting her career over at her age. They happened to be neighbors way back when, and weirdly, Ford grew up watching Val's son Ryan from time to time again. It's definitely strange to begin with, but as you kept reading, you definitely didn't even factor their age into it at all. I just loved their chemistry right from the beginning when they first started chatting in on the matchmaking website. Also, can I just say, Ford's jealous moments totally got me hahah. Most of the book also takes place in Montauk which is one of those places I'm just dying to visit so I definitely got a bit of wonderlust while reading it. I loved Ford and Val's story so much. It's definitely one that will linger with you for a while and just makes you excited to fall in love and be in love. I loved Bossman and Sex, Not Love, but All Grown Up has definitely taken the place of my favorite Vi Keeland book (yet)! It's amazing and it was honestly the perfect summer read! I highly recommend checking it out as soon as possible, you won't regret it! 

My rating of the book: ✮✮✮✮✮ (5/5 stars)
