Olivia Dade
This match is no game.When a rogue wave strips Tess Dunn of her bikini top, desperate, half-naked times call for desperate, please-cover-me-kids-are-coming-closer measures. Enter Lucas Karlsson, AKA that flirty Swede in the water nearby. When he prevents her bare buoys from being exposed to fellow vacationers, even an ocean can't drown the sparks that fly.Lucas, a former top-level tennis pro now giving lessons at the resort, fled there after the abrupt, painful end to his injury-plagued career. But he’s finally ready to move on with his life—and after a few late-night, hands-on sessions with Tess, he’s eager to prove he’s the ace she wants.But this match comes with challenges: She's forty, and at twenty-six, he's barely old enough to rent a car. Worse, they only have two weeks together before Tess returns to her assistant-principal life in Virginia. During that brief time, they'll have to play hard, take a few risks, and find out whether their chemistry is a one-shot wonder...or whether they're meant to be doubles partners for life.Title: 40-LoveAuthor: Olivia DadeSeries and series number: There’s Something About Marysburg, Book 2beach read, romantic comedy, curvy girl romance, younger hero, older heroine, vacation romance, tennis, sports, banter, teacher

"This might be my favorite Olivia Dade so far! I love how she addressed the age gap and is always so focused on body positivity! <br/><br/>A light, cozy read! I also really love that she wrote her characters to actually act their age. It feels like a lot of the time that characters are suppose to be 30+ they’re written to act like teenagers. So this one was definitely refreshing! And I love that they actually communicate like adults"

"3.5/5 ⭐️ I think that Olivia Dade is definitely becoming a new favorite author if all her books are as good as these first 2 I’ve read. This book is a vacation/age gap/kinda celebrity romance which all happen to be tropes I’m not the biggest fan of, but I still really enjoyed this one! Although I wasn’t feeling it at the beginning, there was something just so refreshing about the way these two communicated and the ways they pushed each other to grow was so sweet. I also loved the male lead - the female one annoyed me at times but also kinda reminded me of myself so that’s something… This just made me excited to read more from this author in the future!"

"The story was cute but I didn't buy their relationship at all really. There really wasn't much outside of their dialogue either, and don't get me wrong, character driven stories are my fav, but there just wasn't a lot going on that gave them much depth."
