*[Blog Tour Review] The Accidental Cougar by Tiffany N. York

 

Summary:

 

Forty-one-year-old Nicole Woods was content raising her son alone, working as an ad exec, and indulging in the more than occasional cleaning frenzy...until the night she met Wil Blanco.

Her friends have decided that while her son is away for six weeks, it's the perfect opportunity for Nicole to have a summer fling. Heading the top of the list is Wil -- sexy, successful, full of life...and twenty-five!

Regretfully, Nicole declares him "hands-off," but soon he's complicating everything, from her job at the advertising agency to her self-imposed ban on relationships. When Wil becomes her top client, she has even more reason to adhere to her "hands-off" policy. So why is Nicole finding it so hard to keep her hands off him?

I cannot begin to express how glad I am to have taken part in The Accidental Cougar book tour. The last few days have been filled with mostly non-fiction reads so when I started this one I was grateful for the change and it was wonderful to find a new author to read as well.

 

The Accidental Cougar was a well written romance novel that focuses on 41 year old Nicole and Wil her 25 year old love interest whilst her teenage son is away from home for six weeks one summer. Right off the bat I liked Nicole, I wasn't expecting to connect with her character as much as I did but I really liked her. I thought she was smart funny and a lot stronger than even she seemed to think she was. I loved how much she cared for her son and how she always put others before herself.

 

I also really liked Wil, despite the fact that he's 16 years younger than Nicole he sees how beautiful she is and sees how worthy she is of love and devotion. I was also surprised by how much I liked Wil. He could be very sweet and I found that completely endearing.

 

The overall plot was a good one. I'm a strong believer in the fact that an older woman is worthy of love and affection and if she chooses to find that in a younger man then who cares? This was a great romance novel with extremely likable characters, and of course just the right amount of drama. This book was the perfect escape for me when I read it and I loved the fact that the author made her characters so real.

 

I highly recommend The Accidental Cougar to everyone looking for their next great romance read. If you like contemporary romance novels than I suggest you head on over to your favourite e-book seller and pick a copy up! I can't wait to read more by Tiffany N. York and hope she continues writing.
