Age Gaps That Are the Definition of Robbing the Cradle

As a 25-year-old, being with a 55-year-old man is not something I see in my future. However, reading The Redemption by Nikki Sloane somewhat changed my perspective. The author did an incredible job portraying the MMC, making him unbelievably hot, authoritative, and just downright yummy.

Over the years, I’ve read many age-gap romance books, but most of them feature a 10- to 15-year difference between the main characters. Don’t get me wrong—I’d love any recommendations in that range, too! But what really fascinated me was how The Redemption made me feel drawn to someone I wouldn’t typically find attractive in real life. A man who is older than my own father and likely doesn’t fit the conventional idea of "hot" anymore, yet somehow, through the author's writing, became incredibly desirable (I know, I know Macalister was described as fucking jaw dropping hot but you know what I mean). That level of storytelling really impressed me and made me want to explore more romances with a similar dynamic.

So, I’d love to read more books that capture this kind of age gap- Any recommendations for well-written, steamy, and compelling age-gap romances with a significant age difference?

I feel like {Embers by Claire Kent} and {Latte Darling by S.J. Tilly} had bigger age gaps if my memory serves me right.
