Ana Seger first meets Ben Scalia over an Internet message board dedicated to her favorite band and is immediately charmed by his humor and good-nature. Even when she learns Ben is a few years younger than her, she continues talking to him through email, chat rooms, and even on the phone. Driven by strong lust, Ana agrees to meet Ben at a concert, but she's unprepared for the reality of their age difference, and more, the strength of her desire for him. She tries to end their affair before it can begin, but Ben is more than ready to fight for her, and a chance to show her how good they could be together...

If you like a sexy story with a broken older woman and a determined younger man, then this is a good story for you.
Ana is in her late 30's and is damaged in the love department when her husband of 15 years leaves her for another woman. As a member of a "street promo team" for her favorite band, she begins emailing another member named Ben...emailing turns to chatting which progresses to talking and finally meeting live and in person. There is no denying there is chemistry between these two--things would be perfect if Ana could just get over their age gap of 16 years. I enjoyed watching their relationship develop and really liked Ben's persistence in his quest to win Ana's heart.
Cute story by Jamie Craig. The first two chapters are all email and then chat conversation between the two main characters. I was not happy with the ending though. It felt like there was more to be told. I want to know more about Ana and Ben.. They are hot together but there is more lurking under the surface. I wanted to know more about each character.. All and all it was a cute, quick read.
