The Producer: Aaron

Did I just read another age gap romance and loved it? Yes, I did.

Having read other books by Erika Vanzin, I knew I would have enjoyed this. And I mean, it’s constellation of some of the best tropes. Forced proximity because the protagonists wind up becoming roommates? Check. Billionaire romance because the MMC is a successful producer? Check. Friends to lovers, which is one of my favorite tropes despite the fact it’s so underrated? Check.

I had a great time reading this book. Dakota is not the usual type of female protagonist I love immediately, but once I started to know her better and she started forming a connection to Aaron, I wound up liking her a lot. Aaron…okay I loved him from the start. He’s just perfect for me! What I loved most about him and Dakota together is that their thirteen year gap wasn’t the greatest obstacle to their romance. Dakota is an actress in the TV show Aaron is producing. People being people, it’s understandable how someone could be afraid to give off the wrong impression in this sort of relationship and start a gossip chain that will only end with feelings getting hurt and careers ruined. And because of this, I feel like the reception of their relationship was a little too easy. Everyone seemed to accept Dakota and Aaron too fast—and while it’s beautiful and it would be amazing if these things happened, it’s also a little hard to believe.

Oh and the cameo from the Roadies series…I squealed! Such a treat for us fans of the series!

Thank you to the author for gifting me a copy. Opinions are my own.
