Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher a greedy reader was able to devour the follow up to Old Enough in The Age Between Us duology. This book comes on the heels of a cliffhanger that sounds daunting for the love life of Jane and Brian's heart. Nothing seems to be going right in their lives, but the fact that they were able to meet each other at the perfect time even though the circumstances where not the most honest. This love story is not conventional or lacking judgement from all the people around, but one that seems to be where two people meet their match. Age is just a number and Charmaine Pauls tells that perfectly.

Oh my goodness. This book had absolutely everything! I really thought that this second book would just be a simple HEA, a simple conclusion to Jane and Brian's loves story..... boy was I wrong. There is so much emotion and story builds and builds in such an amazing way that I could not put it down. I could not get enough of Jane and Brian. I love how all of the elements of the story all came together. I could not put this book down! I read the whole thing in just about 4 hours! 5 stars for "The Age Between Us" I wish I could give more stars and keep reading all about Jane and Brian.

The perfect conclusion to a beautiful work of art. I couldn't put the book down.

Brian and Jane both deserve each other. Im just so proud of him for fighting for their love and respect Jane so much for being so dignified even when faced with the greatest obstacles.

Charmaine Pauls has become my go to author for creating the most heartfelt stories.

** spoiler alert ** This duet started off with the issue seeming to be about the age difference/taboo but it has become about so much more.

I have to be honest I wasn't sure how these two were going to sort through the seemingly insurmountable issues they had.

Jane and Brian.
Brian has so much responsibility that he handles with such maturity but he really has too much coming at him at once.
Jane and the relationship with her daughter and her ex husband and his fiance is painful, I would have liked to see more redemption for some of the things 'Debs' did, she did steal Jane's husband after all.
But in many ways it is very realistic, not everyone gets redemption in these situations and sometimes, someone has to be the bigger person for the sake of the child.
I wasn't sure how they would get their HEA but they manage it.
Well written, quite exciting at certain points.
No cheating, though Brian has another woman/girl interested in him.

I didn't give it as high a rating as book 1 as I felt the relationship with the ex and Debs was all wrapped up in a bow without them fully recodnising how badly they had treated Jane, despite her history affecting her relationship with her ex it was if 'it was for the best' and 'it was your fault we didn't work out' as she was hung uop on her first love Evan when in fact her ex husband caused the situation by taking advantage of her vulnerability.
