This month, we’re chatting about Older by Jennifer Hartmann ($18.99 Book club price: $17.09 Paperback, 416 pp)
For anyone who loves emotionally charged, forbidden love stories with complex characters and slow-burn tension, Older by Jennifer Hartmann is sure to spark plenty of conversation—and maybe a few tears. This powerful standalone explores age, timing, heartbreak, and healing in a way that’s as delicate as it is daring.
When Halley meets Reed by chance on a quiet night under the stars, it feels like fate. She’s hurting, lost in a loveless home, and searching for something—anything—that feels safe. Reed sees her pain, and for a brief, beautiful moment, they connect. What he doesn’t know yet is her age… or that she’s his daughter’s best friend.
What follows is an emotional journey of restraint and longing that neither can forget. As the years pass and life continues to complicate their paths, Halley and Reed must confront not only their feelings for each other, but the consequences of crossing lines society deems unthinkable.
This novel doesn’t shy away from the messiness of real emotions. It’s about love that waits, grows, and ultimately refuses to be denied. And for those who appreciate beautiful editions, the deluxe limited edition with printed edges makes this an especially stunning addition to your romance shelf.
A must-read for fans of forbidden love, slow burns, and redemptive endings—Older proves that sometimes the heart doesn’t care about rules. It just wants what it wants…
