And This I Swear by Stephanie Nicole Norris
3.0
Cute older couple Novella.
This novella is the story of the Valentine Brothers’ parents, Leslie and Bridgette, who are in and around their 60s. The premise is that Bridgette, a conventional beauty all her life, is around 60 and is noticing her body aging and changing and becomes very insecure about it. This makes her push her husband away and they both begin to wonder if infidelity is at play even though the love and attraction between them is never in doubt.
I love this author’s books because she knows how to write vulnerable heroes who aren’t afraid to be emotional and who are all in for their heroines. I also like that she writes realistic scenarios. This is a short novella and isn’t particularly heavy on plot but in it, the author addresses a theme that affects many long term relationships i.e. confidence and feeling attractive enough for your partner. I love how it was dealt with in a non-Pygmalion way and I think this was a cute, short read. I definitely would like to read more romances featuring older people although *MY* hips ached are the... “acrobatics” at the end, and I’m much younger the MC in this. Really enjoy this author’s books.
