Summary
It was just another day in the Emergency Department - until she was wheeled in through the doors.
Amanda Parks, my childhood best friend's mom, who I may or may not have secretly kissed before leaving for college.
I haven't seen her in over a decade, and in so many ways, she hasn't changed.
Same killer curves.
Same hypnotizing eyes.
Same reaction from my heart when I see her.
But something new? There isn't a ring on her finger anymore...
And I'm much more of a man than I was at eighteen.
Washed Up is a stand-alone, age-gap, medical romance in the Bayside Heroes series!

Amazing Age Gap Romance! Yes, please!
Another amazing listen by Kandi Steiner! I'm a sucker for a OW/YM age gap story. And this book did not disappoint! This story was about Amanda & Greg. Amanda's son was born when she was 15 years old. A horrible marriage to the child's father, left Amanda on the verge of divorce while still under her husband's control. A car accident led her to the hospital and a chance meeting with her son's best friend from childhood. I absolutely loved the chemistry between Amanda & Greg. So darn hot! Excellent narration by Hannah Chiciana (new to me narrator) & Edward Black.

So so good!
Amanda & Greg’s story totally made my heart ache but also made me swoon. This story is so real & you can’t help but want for everything to go in their favor. I also love how we get bits of info regarding side characters that will have you needing to dive into their stories to get the tea. Great read & listening to it on audio made it that much more real.

Beautiful story and great narration team
This is a poignant, beautiful age gap story of a mature 47 year old woman and a 34 year old man. Amanda is finally almost free from her horrible, abusive drunk husband and Greg was her son’s best friend and now an anesthesiologist who saw her again after about 16 years when she was admitted after being in an awful car accident.
I spent the last quarter of the book in tears. As a woman in her mid 40s, a lot of what Amanda went through spoke to me. And Greg was this wonderful man who supported her so beautifully, allowing her to be who she was always meant to be. I adored their growth, both separately and together, and while there was a realistic angst associated with their age gap and the fact that he is her son’s best friend, the conflict was not overdone. What a gorgeously written special story.
I first read the ebook, being a really big fan of this author's. Then I had an opportunity to listen to the audiobook, which is narrated by Hannah Chiclana and Edward Black, both new to me narrators. Hannah Chiclana sounded a little young to play a woman in her later 40s but she did a great job overall. Edward Black was perfect as the voice of Greg and also did a good job playing multiple characters. So overall, this auditory experience lived up to the wonderful story.

Emotional, second chance, age gap romance
Washed Up is book one in the Bayside Heroes series and is the moving age gap romance of Greg and Amanda.
Greg is a doctor and works in the ER. One day the victims of a car accident are taken into the hospital and Greg comes face to face with his childhood best friends Mum who he had a crush on during his teenage years.
Amanda is a survivor, she suffered at the hands of her husband who was abusive for a lot of her marriage but stuck around and made excuses because he liked to drink.
I loved Amanda and Greg’s story. I quickly fell in love with them. I loved the slow burn, the simmering beneath the surface as they tried to deny their feelings before eventually hotting up when they eventually give in to their lust!
Hannah and Edward are new to me narrators and did an amazing job bringing this age gap couple to life, I loved the emotion, the friendship and romance portrayed.
A truly romantic and emotional story about hope, second chances, new beginnings and the message that true love conquers all.

Greg & Amanda
Story: 3 ⭐️
Steam: 3 🔥 light smut, one scene

*MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD*
This book was alright. I really loved the hero, I thought he was just amazing. He’s so supportive and sweet. He knows exactly what he wants and goes for it while also being respectful.
I wasn’t a huge fan of the heroine. My main issue was that the age gap is just over discussed. I felt like I was constantly being reminded that the heroine was a 47 year old grandma. It felt like till the very end she just harped on the age difference and made assumptions about how Greg felt. I also felt like Amanda had really negative self talk which was not fun to be in her head with. She was constantly talking down about herself and her body. I understand that this stemmed from her relationship with her ex but it just wasn’t fun.
I think that the “best friends mom” trope was a little bit of a stretch. We learn early on that Greg and Dave seemed to have fallen out of contact during their college ages and then reconnected when he reconnected with Amanda. Friends, yes. Best friends? I don’t really think so.
