Forbidden Desire by L.M. Mountford
Confessions of a Trophy Wife book 1

Sizzling age-gap night of passion for middle-aged married Elizabeth and a man young enough to be her son ~ A fantasy night for both of them and who knows, a game changer in the making? This is definitely a short story at only about fifty pages but it does pack a punch as Elizabeth succumbs to the temptation of putting herself first instead of being put second in the lives of her family. Finally seen by Hugh, and though conflicted, she does succumb and it may ultimately help her step out in more ways than one. She may take on something new in her life besides the young stud that savors her for a night and in so doing…explore more about her self and her creativity than she would have otherwise.

Notes:
* Could I see myself in Elizabeth’s shoes? Maybe…in a fantasy…and that is just what this seems to be.
* I wondered if perhaps Elizabeth would find a way to dump her less than loving spouse and move on or if she would just savor the one night and not rock the boat
* I was reminded of the Movie with Dustin Hoffman and Mrs. Robinson
* I wondered how common it is to have this sort of relationship/one-off in real life
* I thought about guilt…and if either would feel it or what might make one feel or not feel guilt in such a situation
* I realized that I am almost 70 and this story steamed up my glasses ;)
* I enjoyed this and think that if you are looking for a short steamy age-gap story…this might fill the bill.

Thank you to the author for the copy – this is my honest review.
