The definitive older woman reading list
I'm tired of the May-December thing unless it's the woman who gets to enjoy a young, yummy boy-toy. If it's good enough for Demi Moore, it's good enough for me! So with that in mind, I want to compile a list of great books that have older women - younger men. Two immediately spring to mind. A third does as well, but I'm not putting imPossible by Danielle Steel on the list because I wouldn't recommend anyone read it unless they were stranded on a desert island with nothing but that book standing between them and a lifetime of repetitively singing The Carpenters' Greatest Hits.
Anyone But You - Jennifer Crusie
A Fine Work of Art - Shelby Reed
Sleeping Beauty - Judith Ivory
Suddenly You - Lisa Kleypas
I know there are more, and I've read more, but I'm drawing a blank on titles. Help me out!

Sleeping Beauty by Judith Ivory
This one is daring, IMO, because the heroine is a 37yo former courtesan and the hero is a 25yo geology professor. It's a lovely story, too.
Suddenly You by Lisa Kleypas
This is not really May-December; it's more like May-June, but it is upside down, as the heroine is 30 and the hero is 25. And it's hot, containing the infamous raspberry scene.
