Young Elijah has a thing for Winifred. But Winnie has a calm life, a son in college, friends and her job. The last thing she needs is a man 12 years her junior. But Elijah doesn't give up easily, and he proves to be the missing piece Winifred didn't know she wanted.

Shoutout to my romcom queen, Nicole Falls! As a member of her Patreon I got to see this story come alive in real time and I love the sweet and funny way it unfolded. Elijah was so gentle, but so very firm. He was a grown man, who knew what he wanted and he stood on that the whole way. I love his consistency--it was the maturity his character needed and he glowed with it. He catered to Winifred, relaxed her, took care of her, yes--but he held no pretense and never stopped applying the pressure. Consistency is key and the author is smart enough to channel the needs of a woman in Winifred's position. Winnie held her own and imparted her wisdom without being overbearing. She lived her experience, but she didn't lord it over Elijah or leverage it against him. It was such a fun and gentle story and the two of them were as funny as they were passionate. The family issues and the struggles connecting them strengthened them and gave the story great emotional weight. I rooted for my man Elijah the whole way, lol. Loved it.
