Ethan Golding doesn’t believe in happily-ever-afters, not since his own marriage crashed and burned, which is ironic, since he and his ex-wife are still involved with Storybook Endings Resorts, a family-friendly destination that regularly hosts weddings. When his ex and their daughter left five years ago to start expanding the business on the other side of the country, Ethan kept the dog (a St. Bernard named Nana), his job managing the original resort, and the cottage he built for his family. Taylor Frost has been working as Amy Lu’s personal assistant for three years. When he was hired, it was with the promise of future promotion, but here he is in the Catskills, putting the finishing touches on the 16th birthday party for Amy and Ethan’s daughter. Taylor knows it’s time to start putting himself first, and he will. If only the resort manager wasn’t so distracting—and if only he wasn’t Taylor’s boss’s ex and therefore totally off-limits.
VERDICT Janovsky’s (You Had Me at Happy Hour) latest is an age-gap, forbidden romance that blends fairy-tale romance with sexier bedtime stories to deliver pure enchantment to its readers.
