Kandi Steiner has taken the much-loved age-gap romance and kicked it up a knotch by bringing in two caveats. First up is the woman is the older adult in this slow-burn, medical romance. Second up is the male is her son's best friend!
After an abusive marriage, which has left Amanda Parks feeling less than desireable and less worthy of love and happiness. When she ends up in the ER looking up into the eyes of her son's childhood best friend, her fog-filled mind voices aloud her memories of his hotness. Dr. Weston very likely will never live that down with the nurses.
Greg has always held a torch for Amanda but circumstance kept them apart. Now that she is available, he can't stop thinking about her and the possibilities, now matter how many red flags are flapping in the breeze.
Washed Up has the signature signs that author Kandi Steiner is know for. She has written a slow-burn romance with an immense amount of sexual chemistry, tension, and restraint. Greg and Amanda don't just fall into lust and into bed. They have a journey to follow and a new relationship to build.
I was very impressed with how this story acknowledged the issues that can come with age-gap relationships, not just between the couple but with everyone else who is involved. Greg and Amanda are very careful to take those feelings into account before succumbing to the magnetic draw they have toward each other.
Life after divorce from her abusive, alcoholic husband has been hard for Amanda. Greg has seen the aftermath and what makes me swoon for him the most is his concern and determination to show Amanda that she is more than her ex made her believe. Greg brings out the best in Amanda making her the best version of herself. They are each other's person and their story made me smile.
Washed Up is the first in a series of four interconnected books. You'll be primed and ready to read them all after meeting the characters who are all friends of the very hot and very swoony anesthesiologist Dr. Greg Weston.

About the author
Forbidden and Wonderful!
4.25 Stars! “You’re not washed up,” he whispers, and I taste every word, his lips moving against my own — warm and soft and heartbreaking. “And if I never get the chance to show you that, to make you feel it, to prove to you with every touch I’m lucky enough to steal that it’s true… I need you to promise me you’ll believe it for yourself.” Well, color me happy, my first Kandi Steiner read and it was wonderful! The age gap when it is older woman/younger man is a little tricky for me. I've only read two. The Pool Boy which I LOVED and All Grown Up which I did not. This is the first book in the new Bayside Heroes series in which each of the books will be written by a different author. Amanda is going through a nasty divorce from her toxic ex, when she gets in a car accident and lands herself in the hospital. Add to that, her anesthesiologist is none other than Greg, her son's childhood best friend who was there at some key times in her past. Washed Up had ALL the forbidden romance that I love so much and some amazing chemistry between the H/h. Greg is such a good man who has obviously been harboring some very strong feelings for Amanda for years. He's a dedicated doctor whose life has become all work, so he convinces Amanda that they'll be friends who help each other complete adventures off of their bucket lists. This was angsty and a slow burn as we see Amanda and Greg reconnect as adults and then go from friends to more. The push and pull was CRACKLING!! Like, if these two didn't hook up soon, I was going to die! The second half of this story was so damn swoony! I do wish it would've been a little longer and that we would've had more page time with Greg and Amanda together. Other than that, I seriously loved it. Washed Up is a sexy, forbidden, age gap romance about a woman who is trying to start over, and her son's best friend who never stopped caring about her. It was emotional, sweet, romantic, and hot. I can't wait to read more of this author's work! "You'll always be enough for me." I shake my head. "More than enough."
