Before he discovered my age, he uncovered my heart.
Bruised and abused, and victim to a loveless household, I shimmered with new life the moment he found me drowning my sorrows in a lake beneath the stars.
A chance encounter. An unspoken connection.
I was smitten; he was curious.
But, as everyone knew, fate could be decidedly cruel.
He called me Halley, like the comet.
I called him Reed.
And my best friend?
Well…she called him Dad.
Older is a forbidden, slow-burn, age-gap romance standalone, ending in an HEA.

While I really enjoyed the writing and emotion in this, age gaps where one of the MC is a teenager gives me the ick.
As much as I was rooting for the couple, I agree with Tara that it was a bit crazy. Halley went from an abusive household to her best friends home. Reed (best friends dad and “foster moms” ex) was just there. Halley never had a father figure in her life so naturally she's going to latch onto the first one who is kind.
I liked that we got to see the true beginning middle and end of this relationship. I kept expecting a big time jump but was pleasantly surprised that JH was thorough with their story.
