The Deadbeat DILF: A steamy age-gap contemporary romance
Brooke Collins never expected her ex’s dad to walk into her office. Robert James, handsome but disheveled, is facing eviction, and needs help.
When Brooke’s family accuses her of being a cold-hearted greedy lawyer, she sets out to prove she is a good person. Her first good deed? Letting Robert crash in her luxury apartment until he finds a new home.
Living together is easy. Too easy. Robert is charming, funny, and—despite his rugged appearance—still ridiculously attractive. But nothing can happen between them. He’s older. He’s her ex’s dad. And according to her ex, Robert was always a deadbeat. Brooke isn’t about to fall for a man like that.
But maybe Robert isn’t the failure everyone thinks he is. And maybe Brooke isn’t as heartless as her family claims.
As their unexpected connection deepens, they’ll have to let go of past judgments—and take a chance on the kind of love they never saw coming.
The Deadbeat DILF is a steamy age-gap romance. It features a determined heroine, a rugged hero, character growth and a guaranteed HEA.

This is an age-gap romance between Brooke and her ex-boyfriend's dad, but despite the forbidden aspect, it's surprisingly...wholesome? Don't get me wrong there's still a lot of steamy scenes (but a bit of a slow burn too -- you have to wait for them to get together) but there's also a focus on both characters overcoming personal issues with self-worth and their complicated families.
I love a larger age-gap, and this one is 19 years, but it doesn't feel too weird because the FMC is almost thirty. So it's not as "taboo" as I like, but I still enjoyed this book!

This was actually pretty sweet which is funny considering the title. Haha. But yeah the main female character is already established in her career and is super focused on that, and the older male love interest is the one that needs a bit of a helping hand and their developing relationship helps to fill in gaps in each of their lives. It’s super wholesome.
