A new, sexy standalone from #1 New York Times Bestseller, Vi Keeland.When I first encountered Ford Donovan, I had no idea who he was…well, other than the obvious. Young, gorgeous, successful, smart. Did I mention young? If I did, it bears repeating. Ford Donovan was too young for me.Let’s back up to how it all started. My best friend decided I needed to start dating again. So, without my … dating again. So, without my knowledge, she set up a profile for me on a popular dating site–one that invited men ages twenty-one to twenty-seven to apply for a date. Those nicknamed Cunnilingus King were told they’d go straight to the top for consideration. The profile wasn’t supposed to go live. Another point that bears repeating–it wasn’t supposed to.
Nevertheless, that’s how I met Ford, and we started messaging. He made me laugh; yet I was adamant that because of his age, we could only be friends. But after weeks of wearing me down, I finally agreed to one date only–my first after twenty years of being with my high school sweetheart. I knew it couldn’t last, but I was curious about him.
Though, you know what they say…curiosity kills the cat.
My legs wobbled walking into the restaurant.
Ford was seated at the bar. When he turned around, he took my breath away.
His sexy smile nearly melted my panties.
But…he looked so familiar.
As I got closer I realized why.
He was the son of the neighbor at our family’s summer home.
The boy next door.
Only now…he was all man.
I hadn’t seen him in years.
I left the restaurant and planned to put the entire crazy thing behind me.
Which I did. Until summer came.
And guess who decided to use his family’s summer home this year?

I am voluntarily reviewing this book. Thanks to the author for sharing a copy with me.
I’ve read just about every book written by this author and loved most of them, but this is my new #1 favourite. I could not put it down once I started. Valentina and Ford and their story was instant love for me. It’s funny, sad, hot, heartbreaking, so relatable and I absolutely adore and love this couple. Their story is sort of a second chance love story, but just as much about life and how to figure out ourselves. Very realistic and an emotional journey I felt in my bones. A sort of quote I love: «It’s never the wrong time to fall in love with the right person.» I want everybody to read this book!
All Grown Up by Vi Keeland is one of those books that catches you by surprise.
You know if it’s Vi it’s going to be amazing. But still yet, she has surprised me once again.
I love that Vi shows us through her amazing characters that age is truly just a number and love is love.
Val and Ford will absolutely steal your heart.
Get ready to be completely capture by this incredible storyline and phenomenal characters.
5 Stars
No words could describe the feeling you get after reading All Grown Up!! I literally fell in love with it from the first laugh! So much passion and very thought provoking! I felt a connection with the characters! I can relate due to the fact my husband is much older than me, but age is just a number! My heart ached and burst all at the same time! I think the words that will be embedded into my heart were: ” Pain makes us strong. Tears makes us brave. A broken heart makes us wise. But wine makes us forget all that crap.” Another phenomenal story that will capture your heart like no other!!Such an awesome read that will leave you ecstatic!!!
Never The Wrong Time For The Right Person
All the swoon, all the smiles, all the love. Ford was PERFECTION! Ford was EVERYTHING! The author created the standard that all other book boyfriends now need to live up to.
With the market flooded with manwhore’s and alphaholes (which I also love), the author brings you Ford Donovan. He is a breath of fresh air and the man you need to never let go. He’s only twenty-five, but when life gets ripped away from you, you grow up real fast. He’s been raising his sister for years and running a successful business. He’s a man that knows what he wants and has no shame in going after it.
Once he meets Valentina, he’s totally smitten. She’s newly divorced, just trying to get back into dating. She never expected Ford and she has no interest in a relationship. And him being twenty-five to her thirty-seven years is an obstacle for her that she’s not sure she can overcome.
It’s just supposed to be a summer fling. A way to get her feet wet in the dating pool. But, the heart wants what it wants.
I was totally swept up by the characters in this story. It was impossible to not fall in LOVE with Ford. He was smooth and could get you hot with just his dirty texts. He was also sweet and romantic with his thoughtful gestures. With a name like Ford Donovan, you just knew he was going to be something special.
I have a new favorite book by the author. What are you waiting for? Make Ford your next read.
A Must Read! Divorcee, Valentina’s friend, Eve, wants her to step into the dating pool again but Valentina isn’t so sure. So Eve accidentally takes matters into her own hands…oops!! That’s where the sexy Ford Donovan comes into the picture. He’s supposed to invest his company in advertising with a dating site so he decides to do some research and check it out first. That’s where he sees a profile that he just can’t help but contact. He might be younger than her but does it really matter? The texts between them are perfect and I love the witty banter they have! I was laughing from the start with this sexy, funny and easy romance. A great summer read! I could not stop smiling when Ford was on the page. Total Swoon Worthy!! Who wouldn’t want a Ford Donovan! There is a little twist but I’ll let you find out when you read this. Told in dual POV
