This is an amazing piece of writing which has everything in it. Firstly we have the instant connection between Matt Barrow the 35 year old musician and record producer and 23 year old Jason Hodge, son of the landlord of his local pub and a very talented violinist. Secondly we find out why Jason is still living at home when he has so much talent, and thirdly what exactly is 'friend' Steve up to?
This Mentor series is exceptional. Each story is completely different.
'The Mentor of…' is my series of standalone novels with a similar theme: older/younger romance in an isolated location where both main characters, in their own ways, mentor each other through adversity, leading to a happy ending.
