REVIEW ➞ Washed Up by Kandi Steiner

BLURB ➞

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.


I thought I dreamt it… But here he is, Gregory Weston, the boy I once knew as my son’s best friend, now a man I don’t know at all. No, not just a man. A doctor.


ARC REVIEW ➞

Amanda is in her 40’s, she is a mother, a grandmother and she is finally getting the chance to live her life. I loved her. She is coming from a rough situation and she got herself out, she realized that she can’t live the life she was living and that she deserves so much more. Things still aren’t easy at times, but she continues to fight and never gives up.

Greg is a young anesthesiologist. He is also Amanda’s sons best friend. He was a witness to her previous life and there was something in him that wanted to protect her. He was always drawn to her. Greg stills feels a protectiveness when it comes to Amanda. He is caring, he is sweet and I love that he just wants her to live and enjoy life. He shows her that she is amazing and loveable.

I loved the chemistry between Amanda and Greg. Despite their age gap, there was something between the two of them. They didn’t rush into anything, but enjoyed the friendship and companionship that the two of them formed before taking everything to next step.

I loved getting to know the secondary characters in this story and I can’t wait to continue reading this series!!

If you’re looking for a slow burn, reverse age gap, son’s best friend romance this is one to check out!
