I've also written larger age gaps the other way--love comes in all kinds of permutations, and I think it's nice to show the variety.Cindy Spencer Papehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01583236494759465431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-39033281273851909022010-07-05T17:26:42.136-04:002010-07-05T17:26:42.136-04:00In my real life, I tend to go for older guys mysel...In my real life, I tend to go for older guys myself, but I love the fantasy of an OW/YM in an erotic romance story.

When you are young you want that older distinguished man with the slight gray in his hair, then as we get older, we tend to look for the younger man ( I think those abs are what gets us) :)<br /><br />Judy (magnolias_1@msn.com)Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02625886775965231468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-85090043471631590182010-07-05T12:16:12.263-04:002010-07-05T12:16:12.263-04:00What a cover and the excerpt is just great, Paris!...What a cover and the excerpt is just great, Paris!<br /><br />For me, I don't think I'd want a younger guy...in fact, I've always gone for the older guys.<br /><br />But, give me a few more years and I might change my mind. :)Tina Donahuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07160021732404091277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-10722298416518144102010-07-05T12:11:33.691-04:002010-07-05T12:11:33.691-04:00Paris,

First, I got to know him through being his tutor in Accounting class at Hiram G. Andrews Center which has become part of the Cambria County collection of schools to make a university. But I got attracted to him because he acted more mature then most men at that age so I didn't know he was 10 years younger than myself and because of his strict upbringing he was a virgin so again I taught and he followed so I was able to teach him everything that turned me on. Even though I dealt with doubts about his ability to stay committed to me, he has shown me he is in for the long haul as we have been married now since 9/20/97 so I think that is almost 13 years. Every now and again a doubt will creep in, I guess it is because I don't think I'm the beauty he always says I am. And due to many major health problems love making is at a minumum.<br /><br />Robin<br />Robbibird3@aol.com<br />ladybirdrobi@yahoo.comladybirdrobihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18235233171125569719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-75447361367946526882010-07-05T10:50:53.044-04:002010-07-05T10:50:53.044-04:00Ohhhhh yummmm.

I suspect the primary reason women love OW/YM romances is simply because they love the fantasy of having all that attention focused solely on them and their pleasure.anny cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03769733659120481918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-88615849778199653772010-07-05T10:43:53.135-04:002010-07-05T10:43:53.135-04:00Beautiful excerpt Paris.

Many women don't grow into their true state of confidence and sexual appreciation until they are in their late thirties or older. At that time a younger, energized man is a natural match. This has always been with us but for the most part it was "forbidden". I'm happy to see OW/ YM love matches reaching the light of day.<br />XXOO KatKatalina Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04792533045672712045noreply@blogger.com
