Need Rercommendations Por Favor

My current project is violent and filthy beyond the limits, enough to make TEX and PILOT faint.

I want to add a May-December romance to kinda redeem the gangster youth main character. But I know squat about romance. He's 27 or so, she needs to be 40=50ish. Any relevant romance novels you like a lot?

Never mind, I looked at two and see girlfriends remain crazy bitches just like for all times.

that is funny - he was 29, live fast, love hard, die young - divorced a couple of years, no kids, VIet Nam vet, and I do mean hard-drinker but a 'stud' in the bedroom. She was 39, two kids, divorced twice, hard-working Mom putting food on table for kids, with little child support. They were married 29 years.

Eleanor of Acquitaine,1122 - 1204 is the perfect model. Wife of two kings mother of two more, her Uncles lover, she married Henry II when she was 30 and he was 18 and had 8 or 9 kids with him to add to the daughters she had with Louis VII. Henry was the only man who could cope with her. She dominated two dynasties largely through force of personality, and pretty much manipulated her children as she liked. Wiki entry is decent background.
