Review of "Ageless Lust."
It is often said that age is nothing but a number, but when it comes to sustaining a sexual relationship, does that still stand? Ageless Lust: An Improbable Love Affair by TG Gore is a romantic memoir detailing the love adventure of Gabriel and Vronica. The book is characterized by love, desire, and family.
Gabriel, a 73-year-old widower, was not interested in a long-lasting relationship when he met Vronica, a 42-year-old woman, via a well-known sexplicit website. His first sight of Vronica on their first date had him imagining things, pushing him to make sure their first date was just the beginning. Although their date ended on a good note, Gabriel was still skeptical about where they were headed due to his age. What began as a search to end his sexual draught grew into something much bigger than they could have imagined. The age difference between them did nothing to quench their sexual desire, and they continued to explore their passion. Along the way, something happened when Gabriel had to relocate. Will this be the end of their love journey? Read this book to find out.
The nine-chapter book details the circumstances surrounding Gabriel and Vronica's rare but true love story. The author is raw with his descriptions and explanations, giving the reader an easy comprehension of the feelings and actions of the characters. The author's language choice was simple and was expertly used to depict the relationship between the characters, irrespective of their age difference. The plot is intriguing and exciting to read.
One of the things I like about this book is how the author uses italics in strategic aspects of the book as a distinguishing factor. He uses it to distinguish the element of flashback. For instance, during Gabriel's first date with Vronica, he has a flashback of his life with his first and second wives. The use of italics clarified the difference between what was going on in his mind and the present happening. Italic was also used to emphasize messages sent via email. I enjoyed the role Vronica played in the development of the plot; she was daring and brave. She knew what she wanted and went for it; her decisions were not clouded by what others would say.
Although I enjoyed reading about the love relationship between Gabriel and Vronica, I would have loved it if other aspects of their lives were also given much attention. For instance, little was known about what Vronica's friends and family think of their relationship. Knowing what she had to face and ignore to pursue her love and sexual interest would have helped me better understand her character and decisions. Aside from this, there is nothing I dislike about this book. I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars because, although it was an interesting read, it could have been better if certain aspects of the characters' lives were made known and not ignored. Also, while reading the book, I encountered some grammatical errors that affected the perfect rating of the book.
I recommend this book to mature readers over the age of 20 who intend to know what true love is all about and the sacrifice it entails. Also, readers will understand what it means to say 'love conquers all things.'
