Uncle Ed’s Lap by Parker Ford
Publisher: Excessica Publishing
Genre: Contemporary
Review Copy Received from PublisherSummary: Fiona volunteers to help her recently widowed uncle get his house in order before starting her freshman year of college. Uncle Ed and aunt Carole are two of her favorite people in the world. While trying to help her grieving uncle, she doesn't expect her school girl crush to turn into a torrid affair, but it does. She doesn't expect him to want her at all, but he does, more than he can handle. And as her uncle struggles with the thoughts of wanting and having his niece in so many ways, Fiona struggles to show him that it's all okay. That she's not a little girl any more.
Dakota’s Review: When I first picked up, Uncle Ed’s Lap I was intrigued. Was this a taboo story? Or was it a romance in disguise? Well, with this review I’m not going to give away Ms Ford’s plot here but all I can say is, as a reader, I was pleasantly surprised.
This story touches on a very important issue that all of us, young and old, will deal with one day. Losing a loved one is never easy but Ms. Ford deals with this painful issue with the finesse it deserves. Do not mistake me when I say this though. Even though this talented author handles the issue of death in a tasteful way, she writes scorching hot love scenes to compliment the somber tone of a man dealing with his wife’s death with a little bit of help from his loving niece. She has given her readers a near perfect balance. With that being said, all I can add is that I wish I had an uncle like “Uncle Ed.” Even at his harshest, Fiona never once doubts his love for her and who can resist the sexy older alpha male? Those alphas are like a fine wine and only get better with age. *smiles*
While this is Ms. Ford’s first release for Excessica Publishing, I look forward to seeing more of her work in the future and hopefully getting the chance to review it.
