What are the best May-December romance novels from 2017?

One great December May lesbian romance novel is 'Carry the Ocean' by Heidi Cullinan. It beautifully portrays a relationship between two women with different backgrounds and personalities, exploring themes of love, acceptance, and personal growth.

A popular May - December romance novel is 'Beauty and the Beast' in its various book adaptations. The young Belle and the Beast, who is older in a sense (or at least more worldly - wise), form a deep and loving bond. 'Pride and Prejudice' also has a bit of that feel. Mr. Darcy is older and more established, and his relationship with Elizabeth has a kind of May - December dynamic in terms of their different levels of maturity and life experience. And then there's 'The Time Traveler's Wife' which has a complex relationship with an age - related aspect as the time - traveling Henry meets Clare at different ages.

Well, often in these novels, there's a contrast in life experiences. The older character has usually been through more, like in 'The Notebook' where Noah has seen more of life before he meets Allie. Another characteristic is the sense of mentorship or guidance. The older character might guide the younger one, like Mr. Rochester does with Jane in 'Jane Eyre' to some extent. And there's usually a strong physical and emotional attraction that overcomes the age gap, as seen in 'Outlander' between Claire and Jamie.

Another good one could be 'Fingersmith' by Sarah Waters. While not strictly a May December story in the traditional sense, it has elements of an older - younger relationship within its complex lesbian romance plot. The Victorian - era setting adds a lot of charm and intrigue to the story.

I think 'The Song of Achilles' can be considered too. It has a relationship between two characters with different life experiences due to their age difference. The writing is so vivid that you can really feel the love and the sacrifices they make for each other. It's a story that stays with you.

One great May - December gay romance novel is 'Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe'. It beautifully portrays the relationship between two boys of different ages. The story is not just about romance but also about self - discovery and friendship.

These novels often feature a significant age gap between the main characters. They might explore themes of maturity, life experiences, and different perspectives on love.

They often feature a significant age gap between the main characters. This can bring unique challenges and perspectives to the relationship.

One popular 'May December' romance novel is 'The Age of Innocence'. It beautifully portrays a relationship between a young man and an older woman in a society full of strict social norms. The story delves deep into their emotional connection, the challenges they face due to the age difference and the social expectations of their time.

One characteristic is the power dynamic. The age difference often creates a situation where one partner has more life experience, like in many historical settings where an older man might be more established. For example, in a historical May December romance set in the aristocracy, the older male might have more social power.
