A reckless, obsessive soccer star. A forbidden affair that could ruin her career. The locker room has never been this steamy.
The Younger Man, an epic standalone forbidden age-gap sports romance, by New York Times bestselling author Karina Halle, is LIVE!
Starting over was her only option.
Forty-years old and still reeling from a public and painful divorce, Thalia Blackwood is looking for a fresh start, somewhere far away from her upside down life. When she’s offered a new job as the sports therapist for a football (soccer) team, she jumps at the chance. This is just what she needs to leave the heartbreak and shame of Manchester behind, trading it in for the warmth and hopeful vibrancy of Madrid.
He was her only desire.
Twenty-three year old Alejo Albarado is rising up the ranks in his career. As the charming forward for the Real Madrid team, Alejo’s life revolves around women, parties, and being a tabloid darling, that is until the new sports therapist joins the team.
Their passion could not be ignored.
What starts out as a strictly professional relationship between Thalia and the young Spanish player, slowly evolves into something more. Much more.
Their relationship was forbidden.
But their combustible chemistry and simmering sexual tension can only go so far—should Thalia give into Alejo’s advances, she’s at risk of not only losing her job, but succumbing to a much younger man will drag her through the spotlight again.
Alejo might be worth that risk.
Unless he breaks her heart in the process.
The Younger Man is a full-length standalone romance. Characters from Love, in English make a cameo in this book, however The Younger Man is intended to be read as a STANDALONE.

REVIEW
I received an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Ah, the beauty of Karina's writing! How well she knows to make me soar by loving her characters and at the same time make me travel through the world in both known and unknown places! Her new book takes place in Spain, a country I had the luck to visit so the Spanish were familiar to me.
The story follows Thalia, a 40 years old woman who has just gotten out of a hard divorce and desperately tries to find a new job. When the opportunity is given to work for Real Madrid, she will take it.
And meet Alejo, a man younger than her but very very handsome. (AND HAWWWTT)
As their passion for each other rises, so do their problems. The age gap, their insecurities even the pressure by the team.
I loved this story. There's always something very realistic in Karina Halle's characters. They are all so well written and fleshed out like real people, who struggle and make wrong choices, who love and sometimes wager their love in order to overcome difficulties. I also loved the ending, which was very sweet and hopeful.
Another thing that I knew would happen (from the teasers) was the cameo appearances of Mateo and Vera from "Love in English" (my very first Karina Halle book and one of my top of all her published works). They were so funny and well together and they both supported Thalia, in their own ways.
By this point, I'll just keep waiting for more deliciousness by Karina Halle! She is amazing and she proves it every time!
(I also keep hoping that she will visit my city in Greece because she looves teasing her readers with descriptions of my country!)
