Coulda: An Age Gap Romance, Second Chance Romance (A Second Chance For Mr. Right Book 1) Kindle Edition
One look at this bartender, and everyone gets thirsty...
With thirteen years separating them, Amber has always known that Rio is off limits. Not only does her father forbid such a relationship, but Rio himself seems intent on keeping her at arm's length. If only that was enough to quench her desire for the handsome older man.
Hired for his good looks, charismatic personality, and bartending skills, Rio makes Amber's father a lot of money by drawing women into the establishment. Watching the boss's daughter grow from an enchanting imp into a beautiful woman was never in the job description, but as Amber approaches her eighteenth birthday, Rio can't ignore her any longer. Will a promise and a duty force this drink-slinging Daddy to wonder forever what coulda been, or will he find a way to serve up a happy ending for them both?
For some, there is a second chance at having Mr. Right. Coulda, Shoulda, Woulda explores a world of connections that can't exist... until they do. Forbidden love abounds when these Daddy Doms refuse to live with regret and claim the women who own their hearts.

Rio and Ella have had a connection for a while at the bar, unfortunatley her father puts a stop to that, and to boot Rio leaves the bar much to Ellas dismay. Roll on years later and is is back in her home town. So is Rio back in town , and when they met, attraction is still there, so now the question is can Ella be a little to her Daddy Dom?
A great story.
HOWEVER - The story then moves forwards to the groups 20 year high school reunion and finally the barman and the Little Girl he was obsessed with so long ago, walks back into his life and there is no way he's letter her leave again. THIS I LOVE!
I love their story as adults. I love the attraction, I love this Daddy and his Little Girl and I love that they know immediately that they were meant for each other so long ago and even more so now. This story ended up being really great and I'm so glad I didn't allow myself to be diverted or put off by my qualms at the start and their history.
I'm telling you though, I'm dying to know what ever became of Limey... Read COULDA if you want to know what I mean.
I was given a copy of this book to read and I am reviewing with my honest and fair opinion.

Amber has always had a crush on Rio, the bartender at her father's bar. The problem is that he is twelve years older than her. Her father threatened him that he would fire him if he touched his daughter. So he left her a graduation gift and left town.
Amber went to North Carolina for college to become a nurse.
Amber did five years in Alaska, so she wouldn't be back to attend their 5th class reunion.
This goes on for twenty years. They all finally make arrangements to come home for their twentieth class reunion.
It was just like old times. Everyone was happy to be together.
They all meet at Murphy's, her father's bar. She was surprised to see Rio was back. The attraction was felt by both of them.
Rio wanted to be Amber's Daddy and take care of her. He waited all this time.
It takes a little convincing to make her see that he is dedicated to showing her how a Daddy takes care of his little girl.
Another great story of an older man taking care of his little. Great story by Pepper North

Unlikely best friends, from the age of eight or nine, Colt, Harper, Maisie, Beau and Amber have since gone their separate ways but remain best friends who talk to each other regularly. Life meant they were unable to attend their five, ten and fifteen year reunions so they each made a promise to go to the twentieth!
This group are just fab! They are the epitome of friendship, in my opinion. Supportive and understanding, of each other, they have formed a family of choice.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book.

I liked this story. I liked how Rio found a book that Amber carried about Littles and Daddies. I also liked how all her friends had read it and commented on it. This sets up the relationships within the circle of friends although the women do not seem as aware of the dynamics of the group as the guys do. I enjoyed watching Rio teach Amber more about Littles and Daddies as she struggled with the concept because of being on her own for 20 years. They both question the other as they set up rules and boundaries.
I look forward to the rest of the series since this book has set those relationships up. I want to see how they work everything out.

The characters are beautifully written with great care and detail. The story flows at the perfect pace to keep me engrossed and needing more.
The early chapters set the scene for the ensemble cast, leading us through their combined history and friendships.
Amber and Rio are the lead in this story and as their tale unfolds I could not put my kindle down.
Rio is brilliant, making sure Amber gets the life she deserves and makes the hard decisions. Amber is strong and fearless having lived and travelled, but she misses her friends.
I loved this tale. It's twists and turns. Lots of hidden gems that made me smile.
I already have ordered the next in the series and can't wait.
I highly recommend this book and author.
You won't regret it 🥰
