Ana Seger works for a PR firm in La, Ben Scalia is a math geek. A message board for their favorite band brings them together. Their messaging heats up with mutual interests, humor and sex talk. When they finally agree to meet Ana is shocked at their age difference. Raging hormones and Ben's determination give them a chance to find something more.

The writing duo known as Jamie Craig has given us a sensual, erotic, fun tale of two people struggling with the age difference in a budding relationship. Ben is painted as a patient man, willing to wait for Ana to cope with her fears about their age. Ana struggles with the difference in chronological age no matter how good everything else is between them. The authors give us more information about her and the reasons for her fears when the ex shows up, still with a key to the house and full of put downs about Ana. I wanted to cheer when Ben decked him for his remarks.

I love the way Jamie Craig mixes serious dialogue and situations with humor. I still can't help but chuckle about how they handled the unexpected phone call from Ben's mother when they were deep in discussion about their relationship. Claire, Ana's neighbor, is funny and supportive of both of them even if she does wish she had Ben for herself.

This is a well written, fun, easy read with serious undertones like I've come to expect from Jamie Craig. It flows like real life with the scenarios naturally fitting together.
