All Grown Up
Publisher's Summary A new, sexy stand-alone from number-one New York Times best-seller Vi Keeland. When I first encountered Ford Donovan, I had no idea who he was...well, other than the obvious. Young, gorgeous, successful, smart. Did I mention young? If I did, it bears repeating. Ford Donovan was too young for me. Let’s back up to how it all started. My best friend decided I needed to start dating again. So, without my knowledge, she set up a profile for me on a popular dating site - one that invited men ages 21 to 27 to apply for a date. Those nicknamed Cunnilingus King were told they’d go straight to the top for consideration. The profile wasn’t supposed to go live. Another point that bears repeating - it wasn’t supposed to. Nevertheless, that’s how I met Ford, and we started messaging. He made me laugh; yet I was adamant that because of his age, we could only be friends. But after weeks of wearing me down, I finally agreed to one date only - my first after 20 years of being with my high school sweetheart. I knew it couldn’t last, but I was curious about him. Though, you know what they say...curiosity kills the cat. My legs wobbled walking into the restaurant. Ford was seated at the bar. When he turned around, he took my breath away. His sexy smile nearly melted my panties. But…he looked so familiar. As I got closer I realized why. He was the son of the neighbor at our family’s summer home. The boy next door. Only now…he was all man. I hadn’t seen him in years. I left the restaurant and planned to put the entire crazy thing behind me. Which I did. Until summer came. And guess who decided to use his family’s summer home this year? ©2019 C. Scott Publishing Corp. (P)2019 C. Scott Publishing Corp.

Vi Keeland does it again. Great story line.and the narrating was well done.Can't help but feeling for both of them.
I’ve been waiting so long for a story like this, and All Grown Up did not disappoint. Val and Ford are my new favorite everything and I’ll be relistening again soon. Of course, Andi Arndt and Sebastian York are always the best part of any audio book experience, and this listen is no exception. Well worth the credit, and then some.
The story is relatable, witty and sexy. I felt as if I was Val in this beautiful story. A woman starting her life over after a long unfulfilled marriage. Living her life for her now, doing things that made her happy and finding unexpected love.
I usually love Vi Keeland’s books, but this one was too cliche and slow moving.
Sebastián York is sexy sounding in anything he reads. The female narrator needs a little more life in her voice. The plot... although banging a hot 25yr old sounds fun... I'd like a more non-traditional (aka boring) ending. How about instead of making babies the couple becomes a power duo!
I've noticed a LOT of older/younger stories when the woman is the older of the pair, she apparently married in her teens and has never been with another man other than her husband, who cheated on her. Ugh. I think its a way to keep the woman still 'virginal' and/or inexperienced because apparently she always needs to be? That, and panicked about any type of change because she's never grown up outside of that other man, blah blah. I wish the older woman could be a woman who has had sex and experience and wasn't sheltered in her life who just happened to be with a younger man. Plus, Val is only 36ish. She's a millennial, but she constantly acts like she's 90. Not knowing what SnapChat is?! Come on! If you want to make an age gap, make it. Make the woman 45 and the dude 25. But 36 is the new 26 and everyone knows it. Aside from those annoyingly repetitive things, the characters and story are fun, and watching their relationship develop was fun.
Good age gap romance with such a perfect hero! I absolutely loved Ford right from the start and I felt so bad for him with how Val treated him. While I understood her reasons I got tired of her constantly pushing him away. Overall 3.75 stars. Narration was great! Andi does such a sexual male voice.
I love Vi's books... I don't think there's even 1 I don't like. I save them and read or listen to them right after a heavy read or one that I don't particularly like. They save me every time and remind me why I love books 📚💕. This one was specially light and lovely. And I love Sebastian and Andi, they are my absolute fave pair for narrative 💖
not a fan of the female narrator, I struggled during her sections. she seemed to emphasize the wrong words and I couldn't tell the tone of some of the parts of the book. she seemed to be more worried about if her voice sounded sexy than playing the character.
At first I was a little unsure about how I would like this story but then it took off and I loved it! It was sweet, steamy and funny. Another great book by Vi.
