I've seen it happen with women I know in Real Life. Just one of those particular tropes that I have a hard time connecting with on a personal level.

It may be a device, but it's a real life one that actually happens. My son has an 'older than the rest of the playground mummies' mum to prove it.<br /><br />I like the sound of this one.Jayalyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13555528579959785151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-64255838890618648272011-02-10T21:40:46.138-08:002011-02-10T21:40:46.138-08:00Wendy - I think of the age of soldiers who are 18 ...Wendy - I think of the age of soldiers who are 18 and 19 who are getting married and having children and I just can't imagine how they are so confident in their choices at such a young age. I was no where ready for any kind of commitment so I always look at that and am in awe of their convictions.<br /><br />So I do agree that age can be just a number - since I did marry a man 12 years older than me. But I do wonder about it the flip way - could I now marry a man 12 years younger than me. He would have to do some fierce convincing. Silly I know.<br /><br />Just me saying that I understand the insecurities of an older woman with a younger man. <br /><br />For me Anyone But You by Jennifer Crusie is just awesome because the heroine did have to get over herself and there was no question the guy was solid.<br /><br />CindysCindyShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18349459903336460467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-88209228098450600092011-02-10T10:25:25.204-08:002011-02-10T10:25:25.204-08:00Leslie: Max = yummy

There was no question in my mind that he was ready to "settle down."<br /><br />And I think like most things in life....it depends on the person. I've known 19-year-olds ready, willing and able to make a strong committment and 30-somethings who are still living the Peter Pan lifestyle. If the author sells it well enough to me, I'll believe damn near anything :)Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12485867264936716806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-85412179250566973612011-02-10T02:54:15.258-08:002011-02-10T02:54:15.258-08:00Okay, honestly for me, he's too young at 24 if...Okay, honestly for me, he's too young at 24 if I read your review right. Now, at 40 I think if some hot 30 year old had it bad for me then I would do my best to get over myself. But there is just something about the 20's that is about looking at all you could have. However, it sounds like he was mature for his age and that would have to count but still, I could see there being issues with just how long a younger guy would stick around as you got older. <br /><br />And apparently we have found my insecurities. Damn.<br /><br />CindysCindyShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18349459903336460467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-3238878136055070892011-02-09T19:17:01.051-08:002011-02-09T19:17:01.051-08:00Ooooohh - despite your C+ grade and rather tepid r...Ooooohh - despite your C+ grade and rather tepid response to the heroine, I'm gonna have to get me this book. Since I'm a cougar wannabe if I had the guts to do anything about it, I love older women/younger men storylines.Kristie (J)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15743921647882733738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-350052669699480502.post-55704076600570308612011-02-09T09:49:08.004-08:002011-02-09T09:49:08.004-08:00"Gone Fishin' sign from my uterus"
..."Gone Fishin' sign from my uterus"<br /><br />The visuals I get from some of your reviews... LOL <br /><br />You know I never really thought about it but I like that trope too. Especially when the hero is use to women falling all over him. And this has another of my favorite tropes - friend to lovers. <br /><br />I'm so tempted to try this just for Max. ;)Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12055116610295076439noreply@blogger.com
