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.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars
If you love age-gap romances, The Younger Man is a real winner. It’s angsty, passionate, emotional, and wonderfully executed.
After going through a very public divorce, Thalia is looking for a quieter life. She takes a job as a PT for the football team in Madrid, never expecting that she’d find the love of her life in a player nearly half her age. The connection with Thalia and Alejo is intense, right from the start. With her job at risk, every stolen moment between them threatens to destroy the life she’s trying to rebuild. But he sticks it out, showing her over and over again that their love is worth the risk.
There are some appearances from characters in previous KH books (like Alejo’s coach), but they were kind of ancillary characters. Nice nods for fans of KH, but didn’t really impact the story as far as needing to know any history.
I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
