MEGATHREAD: AGE GAP/REVERSE AGE GAP ROMANCES

Hello r/RomanceBooks! You said you’d like more mega threads and I’m here to deliver!

This megathread is going to be about: AGE GAP ROMANCES

Here is a link to all previous MEGATHREADS.

What is an AGE GAP ROMANCE? This is when one of the characters is significantly older than the other. REVERSE AGE GAP ROMANCES are in mf romance, when the heroine is significantly older than the hero.

How much is significant? That's up to you to decide.

Here’s how this works.

• Drop a comment down below with your recommended book(s).
• What’s the subgenre? What’re the pairing? Is it Contemporary Romance or Historical Romance or...? MF, MM, FF...?
• Explain how it fits the trope. Who's older than who? How many years is the age gap? How does this add tension or conflict to the story?
• Tell is why you love the book. “Well written” doesn’t count: let’s just assume they all are. Things like “smoking hot” and “character growth” and “amazing world building” are all acceptable.
• What other tropes does the book have? Enemies to lovers? Slow burn?
• Character archetypes! Is the MMC alpha male? Or a single dad? Is she a doctor or a librarian?

So tell us, what’s your favorite AGE GAP/REVERSE AGE GAP ROMANCE?
