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.

My Review
I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review.
I am big football fan. I watch MLS. On weekend mornings you can find me watching Premier league games. If there is a tournament on, I will watch. Men's World Cup. Women's World Cup. UEFA Champions League. I. LOVE. IT. So when Karina originally announced this book, I got extremely excited. It sounded like the perfect book for me. And you know what? It was.
Thalia taking the job at Real Madrid was all about starting over. She needed to get away from her life in Manchester and taking a job in a whole other country seemed like the perfect way to do that. Of course, meeting Alejo was something she never expected to happen, but it sure did make for a phenomenal story.
It didn't take Alejo or Thalia long to realize that what they had was special. From the first moment they met, they felt a connection that they were unable to ignore. They connected on a deeper level that took them both by surprise. I mean, what could a 40 year old woman and a 24 year old have in common? A lot, actually.
Alejo might be the perfect book boyfriend. Yes, he was much younger than Thalia, but he seemed much older and wiser than his 24 years. He was charming, funny and romance just oozed out of his pores. Thalia put up a good fight, but she couldn't resist him Alejo. And I don't blame her one bit.
OMG y'all. I don't think I can put into words how I feel about this story. I loved everything about it. This book is definitely one of the best I've read this year. The location, the football scenes, the characters, the forbidden aspect of Thalia and Alejo's relationship, the friendships (well, most of them) and the idea that the team was not just a team, but a family, made for a wonderful story. It made me laugh. It made me cry. It made me feel like my heart was going to burst with happiness. I felt all the emotions and I didn't want it to end. This will definitely be one of the books that I will be reading over and over again for years to come.
