This bittersweet duet will be hard to forget because Jane and Brian's attraction to one another is undeniable from the very beginning, their chemistry explosive, which only intensifies in this concluding book. Such an emotional journey of passion, drama, love, pain, betrayal, loss, loyally and ultimately growth with memorable secondary characters too. Young Enough was an absolutely beautiful, heartfelt book. A real rollercoaster of ride, that I TRULY, MADLY, DEEPLY LOVED. I'm REALLY going to miss this verse, these characters so much. Definitely one of my all-time favourites.

Amazing book! I couldn’t read fast enough to see if they would get their happily ever after!! Count me as the author’s number one fan!!

After reading Old Enough I was left with a feeling of satisfaction because the story ended in a good place, with an amazing hook to wait for the next book in this duet, but without the frustration of a cliffhanger. Now that I've read Young Enough I have no doubts left that Charmaine Pauls is a step away from being a genius when it comes to writing these duets.

Jane is a strong woman. I've said it before and I'll say it again. She's one heck of a strong woman. Not only she gets divorced because her husband left her, she moves out of the house, her daughter is going back and forward between the houses, but she also has to deal with being Brian's secret. Mind you, she's not upset she's a secret at first but that can get old pretty fast.

Brian is trying to correct his mistakes and his making a poor job at it. I think this guy should be smack some to see if he can actually wake up. He's a good guy but he made a lot of bad decisions in the past and they all catch up to him at the end. What's worst, they spill over onto Jane.

The ending was so satisfying for me. I know it's an HEA but Jane did what she had to do and she did not give him the easy way in when he came back to her. I love it and the age difference was a phenomenal aspect. I've seen books about older guys with younger woman A LOT, and I've seen a few younger guys with older women but those... the age difference it's minimal. In here Jane has more than 20 years over Brian and LOVE IT.

You can't imagine how many amazing quotes I got from this duet. Just like with Old Enough, this book gave me so many that I could fill a small notebook with them. Well, not THAT many but I swear the little nuggets of wisdom and love that I got were so worth it.

I'm a fan of Charmaine Pauls and now I want to read all of her books, current (that I haven't yet) and future. I would recommend you to dive head first because you won't regret it.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book provided by Netgalley. The opinions expressed are my own.

Jane’s world is still getting blown apart. And the one person she thought had her back has betrayed her. Or has he Brian has known from the beginning that being with Jane was going to be hard. Almost impossible but for him, there is no end to this where he and Jane are not together. Life is destroying Jane piece by piece and Brain can't help her. She no longer trusts him and throws him out of her life. That decision almost cost her her life. Her daughter has moved in with he ex, she lost her job to Brian and she lost her house again. This is the best follow up I did not expect to enjoy it more than the first one but it is fast-paced. Intrigue is everywhere nothing is what it seems and the ending is just unbelievable. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did. I read it twice it was that good. And the first time I read it I was afraid I missed something I was reading so fast. All I can say is enjoy the ride.

Young Enough is book Two in the The Age Between Us by Charmaine Pauls. This continues the story of Brian and Jane. I do strongly feel you should read the previous book 'Old Enough' before reading this one. f
Jane has suffered through so much. Jane was a strong women that did have weak moments as anyone would in her shoes. Although Brian was young in physical age he was a older sole who had to fight to get what he wanted. For so much of their difference there so much that they were as one.
Really enjoyed reading their story.

This is the follow up to Jane and Brian's story from the first book. I felt so many emotions while reading this book. The twists and turns just keep coming in this story. How will Jane and Brian deal with the judgment, secrets, and lies without losing their relationship? A stunning conclusion to the duet.

I received a copy of this book via Netgalley and am leaving a review.

I finally got to read this and it was everything I hoped for and more. After finishing Old Enough I really didn’t know how this story was gonna go. The author certainly exceeded my expectations. Make sure you read Old Enough before you read this book.

There’s quite a big age difference between Jane and Brian. I was really hoping Jane would find her happy ever after... she’s been through so much that she deserved it.
Brian is a fabulous character. He keeps proving how strong he is and how much he loves Jane.

The author stepped up the emotion barometer with this story. I felt the author pulled me through the wringer while reading this but it was so worth it.

Can’t wait to read more from this author. I totally loved this duet.

Part two of this series and I felt the book did not disappoint. Looking at age gap relationships and taboo with a lot of hot saucy action In between it was a fitting conclusion to the series.

Young Enough is part of a book duo by Charmaine Pauls. It is the perfect book for someone who enjoys erotic suspense with dark themes. While it is not for everyone, it was solidly written and includes a fair amount of plot intrigue and romance.

This was a frustrating read!! You just wanted to push and slap someone....HARD!!!! Sometimes it was Jane! I enjoyed This read. It was slow at first, but when it got going...It was on! Rollercoaster of emotions. Brian is sweet and caring. Jane and her story finally comes out! Good read!!! Characters were good and I would have liked to have read about Monkey and how that all turned out and went down. Overall, great read!!

I received this ARC from the publisher at my request via Net Galley for an honest review. The opinion expressed are my own.Thank you Net Galley!

*** Be warned, this book is red-hot and you will not be able to put it down! *** Young Enough is the second book in The Age Between Us duet. If you have not read Old Enough, the first book in this duet, you will be a little lost. I recommend you go back and read the first book. I really loved the first book in this series and didn't think that I could possibly like this book more….Boy was I wrong. I absolutely loved this book. If I could give it more than five stars I would. Young Enough is the continuation of Jane and Brian’s dark, erotic love story.
At times this book was sooo intense, I was overwhelmed, but I couldn't put it down. I read the whole book in about five hours. There were multiple times where I actually said, “Noooo, OMG, that did not just happen!” This book has everything, lust, deceit, lies, blackmail, and an all consuming love between two people that defies all logic.
Ms. Pauls writing is superb, from the first word to the last. Her further development of the secondary characters are carefully crafted, and in the end their true nature is revealed. While the story unfolds she deliberately divulges little hints of what may happen and then… the book explodes! When you think you have figured out what is going on, there is a new twist, a new lie brought to light, another person’s betrayal is exposed, all of which is attempting to keep Brian and Jane apart. I love the way Ms. Pauls cultivates the relationship between Jane and Brian. The love and heartbreak they share wraps around your heart, squeezing until you feel as lost and out of control as they do. She also writes the most amazing, seductive scenes… 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 steam meter! The big question: do Jane and Brian get the HEA they so deserve or do the circumstances and people in their lives who are plotting against them win? Sorry, not going to tell! 🤭
The Age Between Us duet will go down as one of my favorite duets. I might just have to go back a read it again, it was just that heart wrenchingly beautiful!
***I kindly received an ARC of this book by way of NetGalley/publisher/author. I was not contacted, asked or required to leave a review in order to read this book. I received no compensation, financial or otherwise. This is my honest review.***

Sorry but it pains me to say i was really disappointed! I mean i loved this author's last book but this one was a disaster.
The first one set my hopes high but after reading all i felt was anger and frustration.
Heroine's life was so irritating and unjust that i have no words. Most of all the characters were too mean and did'nt even paid for their doings. Rapists were wandering freely and mean people were getting all the fortune yeah i know real life is similar but there is a reason books are my escape and this book totally left me angry and hurtful..
I hope i can enjoy her next book but this was one was not my fav at all..

Super sexy, dark and erotic, yet a fabulous love story. 4.5 stars
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This book left me with a multiple multitude of feelings. Not only did Paul’s bring us a amazing HEA but the road to get there was rocky.

The path we had to travel with Jane and Brian had so many ups and downs and twists and turns, it was hard not to get caught up in the book.

I had a tough day when I first started reading it I really wasn’t into reading but I knew I had to get it done. But then the author turned up the heat with some amazing sex scenes, loaded with erotica, dominance, and a whole lot of imagination.

Couple that with personal issues, family drama, mobster violence, and secrets galore. Soon I wasn’t worried about the day I had as I blazed through this book.

With every turn of the page Paul’s managed to ramp up the story more and more. Between the blistering passion, the suspense, drama, and the twisted web of the truth, this book is a testament to the author’s creative mind and unique storytelling ability.

This is the second series of books I’ve read by this author and each one has been surprising. And for the The Age Between Us two part story she did herself proud with the amazing story of Brian and Jane. Make sure to set some time aside when you dive into this one!

The first book in this series made me feel every emotion from happy to sad. This book, Young Enough, was a great follow up with a sweet ending to what ended up being a very tragic, heartbreaking story for the main character Jane. I loved the development of their love for each other even if I didn't love how much of a complacent pushover Jane became in this book. Overall I thought it was a good read but I liked the first one better so that's why I'm going to give it 4.5 stars. Thanks NetGalley for my ARC!!

5* Soulmate Stars

Young Enough picks up from where book one, Old Enough, ended on a cliff-hanger.

The journey of Jane and Brian was very testing and emotional. I was so invested in their heartache and struggles that I could not put the book down and finished it in a day racing to the end to find out if they got their HEA.

Jane had to endure so much heartache and pain that presented itself from her past as well as her present and this only made her stronger in the end. Brian was still very protective and caring and so devoted to Jane and his family.

The conclusion of Jane and Brian’s story was full of angst, sorrow, deception, betrayal and great passion and love. It also had a few twists and turns, which I did not foresee.

I read the duet of the Age Between Us back to back and this made for compelling reading. I really enjoyed this emotional rollercoaster of a series.

Many thanks to Charmaine Pauls and NetGalley for my ARC to read and review

I'm definitely the minority in liking this duet. I love an age gap May-December romance and while this certainly filled as an age gap (23 year differnce) it contained more pain and tragedy then romance.
Jane was sweet but somewhat of a push over. She was beaten , cheated on, fired from her job, drugged, rapped, she had horrible friends, an horrible ex-husband and dare I say daughter. This woman endured so much tragedy in her life I truly don't know how she got out of bed in the morning.

Brian was sweet at times but he too took advantage of Jane. He stalked her, pressured her and helped cause a good portion of her issues.

The sex was not but there was too much sex and too much tragedy for me.

4.5 STARS!!!!
This was such a great conclusion to this duet. There was so much in this story that happened that I didn't expect and that had me finishing this book in one sitting. There was so much drama in this book and once again there were those characters I loved, and characters I loved to hate. I disliked Loretta in the first book and in this story she showed her true colors, along with some others. I'm glad Abby matured a little but for a while I didn't think she would. Francois and Debbie even became likable characters. Benjamin was in a league of his own and I didn't hate him but I didn't quite care for him either. There was so much going on in this story but I loved how everything was wrapped up. I was completely satisfied with the ending and I enjoyed this story a lot. I definitely look forward to reading more books from this author in the future.

4 1/2 Star Review......

The conclusion of this remarkable duology is jam-packed with deception, betrayal, pain, angst, passion and love. Jane and Brian always knew their relationship would be a torturous rollercoaster, where the unexpected would become their norm, and calm was simply non-existent. But will they have the strength to overcome adversity?

There are a multitude of twist and turns, many heartfelt and emotional truths, but above all, there are two amazing people who just want to love unconditionally; without judgement. Knowing that we can’t always choose whom we love and actually living that reality, are as different as hot and cold, and Jane and Brian are exceptional in their quest for a normal life.

Ms Pauls has written a powerful and moving story, that I’m sure will stay with readers long after the last page is turned.

Kindly provided with an ARC via Netgalley compliments of the author in exchange for a honest review.......

Lordie, lordie......if I though book 1 of Jane and Brian's story was HOT TO TROT the book 2 smokes that one right out of the water !!!!!!

Wow, Charmaine how can you do it ?!. Time and time again utterly spellbinding reads !!! Honestly word fail me on how brilliant this follow up book was. Please do not miss out. Age is but a number baby. My number for stars for this masterpiece is 5+++++

Many thanks for this opportunity x

Charmaine a pleasure as always x

Later peeps xx

I don’t know where to start. This book gutted me, then slowly, put me back together. There is so much going on with all the characters in this book, I was worried how it was all going to pull together by the end. I can not say enough how genius this story was written. I read it in one day. I COULD NOT put it down. Brian and Jane became one of my all-time favorite couples. I was so skeptical of the age difference when I started Old Enough, but Brian is such an old soul it didn’t matter how young he was. And Jane deserved happiness. It was a long, hard battle for her, but anything good is worth the wait. This truly is a stunning duet.
