5 SMOOCHES!

SYNOPSIS:
When my best friend Taylor gifted me a vacation at a resort owned by his grandparents, the last thing I expected was to bond with a man seventeen years older.
Tate was also vacationing alone.
He’d come to Midnight Key to clear his head and reevaluate his life.
I’d come to get over my high school sweetheart who’d dumped me.
I’d spotted the brawny, tattooed Adonis in the lobby on the first day and thought he had to be someone’s hot dad.
But then we matched on an app that paired single men and women by proximity.
The problem was? At nineteen—almost twenty—I’d lied and said I was twenty-nine.
Tate outed me on our first date, and I fessed up to my real age.
But we continued to run into each other.
And eventually we found our connection was too magnetic to deny.
While we agreed to only use first names and to part ways at the end of the trip, I’d really fallen for Tate.
I never forgot him and knew he was the one who got away.
Remember that guy friend who gifted me the trip?
Well, four years later, Taylor got married.
He’d been estranged from his dad for years, though recently they’d reconnected.
What I didn’t know was that the man I’d had that torrid affair with at the resort would be standing next to Taylor in the receiving line.
My dream man Tate? Was Taylor’s father.

REVIEW:
In Taylor’s Father, an emotionally charged forbidden romance, Penelope Ward navigated the treacherous waters of age-gap love with heart-wrenching tenderness. When Blair, a wise and wounded nineteen-year-old seeking solace from heartbreak, met Tate, the strikingly handsome thirty-six-year-old grandson of the resort owners where they were both vacationing, their immediate connection transcended their vast age-gap in the most achingly beautiful way.
Ward expertly built their slow-burn romance against a sun-drenched backdrop and allowed their bond to deepen organically with stolen moments and vulnerable confessions. Ward took Blair and Tate by surprise five years down the line with a life-altering twist that redefined everything and added stunning layers of emotional complexity. As usual, Penelope captivated with her signature blend of sharp wit, simmering tension and profound emotional depth in this addictive forbidden romance.
An unforgettable journey about love that defied expectations, timing being everything and fate, Taylor’s Father was a powerful and moving romance that I devoured in a day. I listened to the audiobook, narrated in duet by two of my favorites, Jason Clarke and Andi Arndt. Their natural chemistry lent itself perfectly to these characters and formed the basis for the fantastic performances delivered by both of these narrators. Five smooches from me for Taylor’s Father by Penelope Ward!
