So here's another one on my quest to read the first 100 HPs. This is numbered 61 and was published in 1973. The heroine, Tamsyn, is 17 and the hero, Hywel, (I think that is pronounced hoo WEL) is around 20 years older.

So this age gap is very common for Anne Mather in the 1970s. Here is was addressed as a concern for all parties except the heroine. She was all in immediately. The hero fell in love pretty quickly but tried to resist her because of concerns over her age and local gossip. The heroine chased him a little bit but not too obnoxiously. He couldn't stay away from her though. It was of its time, pretty sweet.

Over all I quite enjoyed it. It moved quickly and the hero and heroine spent quite a bit of time together which is not always a given in these older HPs. I liked both the hero and the heroine. ( )
