The "On the Clock" stories are always fun. This was a May (him)/December (her) where she struggled with all her own apprehensions plus her sons and their father

Great story!
The On The Clock Series is a great series that I’d recommend. Legal Tender is book 5 in the series and it was great! Nakima was having issues getting over the fact that Cordell was 16 years younger than her. She rejected him so many times, but that didn’t stop Cordell. Nakima was mentally battling that stage when your kids are grown and out the house and you struggle to find yourself again because you were all into them. Dating again wasn’t on her new to do list. Of course, Nakima wanted Cordell, but she used his cockiness and age to fight the battle of her desires against him. Cordell didn’t care nothing about her age or the fact that he was close to her sons age as well. He was interested in her and his sole purpose was getting to know Nakima and making her happy. Which he eventually did, but her ex and sons created a huge barrier. Mama gotta have a life too, but they thought differently. I thought it was extremely selfish especially coming from her ex who was married

Hot and heavy on the young D! Baby Shae does not disappoint! I ain’t never been a fan of the older woman younger man trope but baby this gave what it was supposed to give! I’m obsessed with this series!

She kept obsessing over that one thing in regards to him and it drove me INSANE. It was a good quick read but she was frustrating me

I was honestly bthe least invested in this book. I'm honestly not sure why because I love a age gap where the power dynamics are balanced. Her ex and her kids AH MESS, but also very believable. I'm glad her friend had sense. This is the first book that I DNF and actually went back to finish. I love Shae and this was good just not my favorite.
