That Kind of Guy (Ravenswood #3)
Talia Hibbert
She wants a fake relationship. He needs something real. If there’s one thing Rae can’t stand, it’s pity. She’s forty, frazzled, and fed up—so attending an awards ceremony alone while her ex swans about with his new wife? Not an option. To avoid total humiliation, Rae needs a date of her own. And her young, hot-as-hell new best friend is the perfect candidate… Zach Davis, king of casual hookups, has a secret: the notorious womaniser craves emotional connection, and anonymous encounters leave him feeling hollow. After years of performance, Zach’s desperate to be himself. So why does he agree to play Rae’s fake boyfriend? And why does it feel so easy? When the line between pretence and desire blurs, Zach’s forced to face an unexpected truth: there’s nothing phoney about his need for Rae. But the jaded divorcée’s been hurt by playboy men before. Can a weekend of faking it prove that Zach’s for real?

0 0When I pick up a book by this author, I expect to learn something new. There are so many terms related to sexuality that I have no context for. Talia’s books always teach me context.
The people in our immediate radius assume they understand us. They make judgements about us by our behavior. If we choose to have a lot of sexual partners, clearly we must love arc. But it is not always that uncomplicated.
This book is an older woman/younger man romance. It also features a semi sexual character who is still trying to sort out what that means. There is also a character who no longer believes in love.
I loved the conversation these two had and how they were both grown ups. I appreciated that since the woman was older there was realistic depiction of bodily changes and what that means in relation to sex.
It is not the sexist book I have read but i learned some things and it was well written.
