I’m realizing that I’ve never read a queer romance about two teachers before, and I’m SO happy that this book rectified this for me! This was such a fun story, and a perfect read for anyone who grew up wondering which teachers were dating who, and what their teachers’ backstories were.
The romance was a great slow-burn coworker enemies-to-lovers, with a few moderately spicy scenes. It played out in a way that felt natural and fairly realistic. Despite an opposites attract theme, the pair was able to get together without either character’s personality being compromised, and both stayed true to themselves. The main characters and supporting cast were dynamic and engaging and the plot was fun to see play out.
I also really appreciated the Happy-For-Now ending, and thought it fit the book perfectly!
I was provided a complimentary ARC from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

I don't expect much out of fluffy romance stories. It hits the major tropes with flashing neon arrows. That would be fine. A mediocre story with the usual twists, characters, conflicts, etc. But then
these grown adults have seexx where they could easily be seen by children. Children they are supposed to be SUPERVISING. No thanks.
