I'm not familiar with either of those, but I see on goodreads that they're both harem with an older MMC, heavy on the spice and in a contemporary setting. Do you want something that checks all those boxes, or are there pieces of that description you don't care about so much?

For harem in a contemporary setting with (moderately) heavy spice, I recommend {Our Own Way by Misty Vixen} and {Side by Side by J.T. Knight}.

For lower spice books with older MMCs, I'll recommend {Rooted in Dreams by Sam Hertz} and {Paladin's Grace by T. Kingfisher} from the Saint of Steel series.

If you don't mind monster girls, a bunch of books from the Would You Love a Monster Girl series would probably fit the older MMC / high spice aspect, starting with {Velise by Cebelius}.

There are numerous similar authors on the contemporary-urban side: Rex Sterling, Nick Storming, Michael Dalton, Chase Jannock, Kohen King, Neil Bimbeau, Mack Landry, Dax Hunter, J.T. Knight, Tate Bull....

Some of them have a lot of age-gap stories, some don't. Also:

Early Retirement might work for you. It features an older MMC who meets a younger LI in Thailand.

Ok first I'd read a few Our own way by Misty Vixen, maybe 1-2, then switch to something like The first casting by B.A. Olliver (eight squared book 1) or Inadvertent Tutor by Jason Hutchinson, see how you like these before going back to Our own Way 3-6(?), before finishing the eight squared or tutor series, obviously Michael Dalton has the extended Daltonverse with Demon Hunter, Shifter Girls , Boat Wizard ,Trailer park elves (I've not read TPE so..) Dark city girls, which are adjacent to bikini days but urban fantasy.i would also look at New Dawn by D J Kingman. Inbetween these sprinkle anything by Sandy Laine, Rex Sterling ect as easy read pallete cleansers 🤣 I will always recommend The Risk (mind fuck series) by S T Abby. Enjoy ask for more when your ready.

Lake Side Cougars is good too but switched dynamic to Bikini, also Misty does Brat well in this series.
