I loved "Teach Me" by Olivia Dade. I always enjoy a slow burn romance, and this is a great one. Both main characters were well-developed and likeable, and I especially appreciated that while both Martin and Rose had a lot of baggage from their previous relationships, they dealt with it maturely and actually communicated with each other about it. They each let their partner know their needs, desires, and boundaries, and didn't let things build up into a huge, seemingly insurmountable obstacle near the end of the book.
Martin was a lovable beta hero, which made for a nice change of pace from the many alphas featured in the other books I've read lately. He was a great dad and his relationship with his daughter was really sweet. As for Rose, I loved how strong and independent she was, and that she wasn't afraid to stand up for herself. The progression of their relationship was really lovely, and I adored the promposal scene when Rose finally declared her feelings for Martin in public.
Overall, this was just a wonderful story, and I highly recommend it.
