Thanks to certain celebrities, the cougar theme had been overdone in real life and reel life, giving the term a salacious meaning.
Yet, author Jeannie Moon delivered a sweet and loving message in “Until You
It was supposed to be your normal run-of-the-mill hook up. The Philadelphia Flyers where David Burke plays forward is on the road. Famous novelist Kate Adams happens to be in a book signing event and staying in the same hotel.
But a one-night stand was not enough; that is until their age difference became an issue and their celebrity status made them fodder in the stratified world they live in.
Between their own anxiety and apprehension of the reverse May-December romance they were in, plus their families and friends weighing in, finding a happily ever after seem a quixotic dream.
And this is where Jeannie Moon’s storytelling prowess shines as she made something quixotic a reality for David and Kate.
Until You
When newly divorced Kate Adams is approached on the sunny deck of a California hotel by hockey star David Burke, and he invites her to dinner, she almost says no. He’s obviously younger than her. And charming. And drop dead gorgeous. But there’s also something sweet about David, so Kate—who hasn’t done anything spontaneous in a very long time—accepts his invitation.
It is, after all, her fortieth birthday.
However, a real romance with thirty-year-old David, whose picture is in the gossip pages as often as it’s in the sports pages, is out of the question. No matter how much she wants him, it’s just too risky.
But meeting Kate has been David’s lightning strike. She’s the one for him, and he has no intention of giving up on her.
So while Kate guards her fragile heart, David sets out to win her over with the same determination that drives him on the ice.
And he’ll break every rule in the book if he has to.
