When I Kissed You by Suzie Grace

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Riley Jablonski is a college student studying finance who attends a lecture with guest speaker Ian McCarthy. He is a self-made man who comes to speak at his alma-mater, she finds herself enamored with him and loves to hear what he has to say. He is known to be fair, ethical and zero tolerance when it comes to the business world and she admires that in a mentor. Doesn’t hurt that despite being older than her own father, he is hot as hell.

Ian McCarthy is back at his old school getting ready to lecture to the finance students about all things business. Too bad he is feeling less than excited to be here. He lost is wife not long ago and is almost estranged from his son. He wished he could explain to his son why he isn’t mourning the loss of his wife as much as people expect him to. One student near the front grabs his attention for her knowledge of the business world and he finds himself intrigued.

Ian offers Riley an intern opportunity in New York and she happily accepts. Ready to see something new for the summer instead of helping her uncle, she hops on a plane ready to soak up everything Ian McCarthy and New York have to offer her.

Ian and Riley soon realize, despite their obvious age difference, they have enormous amounts of things in common. They attraction for each other grows without their control and they soon find themselves in a relationship. But at what cost to them both? Unfortunately his son Logan has other ideas for how his father should be moving on after losing his wife. After an email whoops and ultimatums handed out Riley and Ian decide it is better to be apart then make everyone else miserable. Until fate brings them back together again, for good.

I enjoyed this 4 star story overall though it did drag slightly at times. Age wasn’t a factor to be considered when the storyline took over so it wasn’t as big an issue for me as I’d first thought it would be. It ultimately becomes a love story for any age or age gap. I received a copy without expectation for review, any and all opinions expressed are my own. Great first read from a new to me author.
