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 a HEA.
I was not expecting to feel so many emotions reading, ‘Older’, but Jennifer Hartmann definitely wrote a book and created characters that broke my heart and then very slowly, she pieced it back together again.
From the very first few pages, I cried for Halley Foster and the pain she suffered under the hands of someone who is suppose to love her. Her life is filled with nothing but abandonment and abuse. She seems scattered and lost, just looking for some type of connection, no matter how meaningless. That is until Reed Madsen encounters her one night while she is sitting in a lake outside of a party. Their connection is strong from the start and it’s also wrong in every way possible. He’s 36; she’s almost 18. He’s also her best friend’s dad. Yikes!
Every scene, every page between Reed and Halley is filled with so much longing, misery and inevitable destruction that such a relationship could cause in their world. Reed is a stand up guy, at times, and tries to push Halley away. And in the beginning it works, until…
This is most definitely a forbidden, slow burn read. Reed and Halley are imperfect characters that seem to aways find a way back to each other. It’s really just a matter of time.

Jennifer Hartmann resides in northern Illinois with her own personal romance hero and three children. When she is not writing angsty love stories, she is likely pondering all the ways she can break your heart and piece it back together again. She enjoys sunsets (because mornings are hard), bike riding, traveling, bingeing Buffy the Vampire Slayer reruns, and that time of day when coffee gets replaced by wine. She loves tacos. She also really, really wants to pet your dog.
