Quinn Lawson went into her family business of real estate agency. Her
beloved father had a dream of moving into real estate development. Quinn is
determined to make her father’s dream come true and has been buying all the
properties in a quiet Brooklyn street. There is just one house owned by an
elderly lady in her nineties, with no family, left. But Quinn’s plan go a
little awry when the lady actually wills her house to Lauren Burke.
Lauren is a chef with a future ambition of opening her own restaurant. Having
had a poor coming-out experience with her family, Lauren is on her own, working
hard. She is fair, kind and giving which is what made her one-time neighbour
will her property to Lauren.
When Quinn arrives on Lauren’s new doorstep with a six-figure offer for the
house, Lauren is taken aback, but not interested. Quinn is in a hurry to get
the property because she wants her ailing father to know that his dream is on
its way to materialise before he passes.
Quinn and Lauren have a stand-off over the house, neither willing to let
go for their own reasons. A mutual attraction complicates matters further for
them.
Quinn and Lauren are both okay women. Lauren gets the edge on being nicer
because she is a little more open and Quinn employs at least one underhand move
for the house. Both the woman are well developed characters and it’s easy to
see where each one is coming from. The chemistry between the two is good. The pacing
of the narrative is even and easy.
Within its niche of being a pocket packet, this age-gap romance is
definitely a good choice.
