I found love where I wasn’t supposed to find it…
The night I met Mr. Granville, he was slipping out of my mother’s bedroom.
She was passed out drunk and I was on my own, but that was nothing new. It wasn’t even the first time one of her boyfriends looked at me for a little too long—just the first time I felt anything like interest in return.
My mother and I had never been close, but I knew I had to pretend not to notice his hot gaze lingering on me when he was supposed to be there to see her, had to resist the temptation to lap up all the attention he offered me.
Until the one night I didn’t.
After they broke up, I thought I’d never see Milo Granville again.
But my less-than-impressive grade in chemistry had me striking a deal with his brilliant son: he would help me bring up my grade, and I would pretend to be his girlfriend so he could get the attention of the girl he actually liked.
Pretending to date the youngest Granville has me spending a lot of time with the Granville men, and while he loves having me around again, seeing me with his son is not something Mr. Granville enjoys.
He seems determined to remind me of the night that changed everything between us…
As if I could ever forget.
Milo is devilishly handsome and too commanding for his own good, but I have to resist the attraction raging between us.
Too bad Mr. Granville is just as intent on tempting me at every turn.

If you love forbidden age gap romances then you are going to love Resisting Mr. Glanville.
Kennedy is a girl who doesn’t have a good home life at all. My heart really broke for her at times. Her mother has got to be one of the most horrible human beings or I should say mothers you will ever read about. I just wanted to slap her around a lot but that didn’t really affect who her daughter was to become. I don’t even know how she turned out to be like she is but she really is a sweet girl. She meets Mr. Glanville when he is leaving her mothers room as her mother is actually passed out drunk and for the first time one of her mothers men has sparked some interest in Kenndy much to her surprise. However she doesn’t see him again but sees her chance when she needs a tutor to help pull her grade up and the youngest Glanville agrees to help her in exchange for her being his pretend girlfriend so that the girl he is really interested in will finally see him. Kennedy is a young girl but I swear she was more mature that some older people you would know. Life has made her that way However she is a girl that longs for safety and comfort and unconditional love because all her life she has never had it. Milo Glanville while a much older man who has some really crazy moral compass finds himself really drawn to Kennedy. However he is a really great guy and he really ends up putting Kennedy’s needs above his own. I really have to stop talking about this book or I am going to give something away. It is however a really great taboo book that I couldn’t put down.
