#7: Read a romance where at least one of the protagonists is over 40.

I used The Apology Project by Jeanette Escudero since the story begins with the protagonist celebrating her 40th birthday and the love interest is a couple of years older.
I read Teach Me by Olivia Dade about two forty-something high school history teachers. I didn’t particularly like it but romance isn’t really my genre. I would advise against the audiobook if anyone is considering it for this prompt or anything else.
I read Something to Talk About and i thought it wouldnt be good, but i did enjoy it! One of the fights the two characters had were stupid and it seemed like the author got tiny details about Judiasm and asthma wrong, but overall the characters were really fleshed out and it was easy to get attached to them. It also had so much yearning that i adored
I read Flirting with Fifty - and it was so good!
Does anyone have a book that would work for this prompt that has BDSM themes? I'm looking for even more spice!
Strange Weather in Tokyo by Hiromi Kawakami
