There was so much to love about An Academic Affair by Jodi McAlister and it quickly became one of my favourite romance reads of the year.   Sadie and Jonah's chemistry is well-written, their banter is fantastic and I absolutely loved them together!   The literary references throughout were fun and the footnotes in Jonah's chapters are a nice touch.  I loved the tropes (I can't resist a good enemies to lovers/marriage of convenience) as well as the unique settings and the supporting characters.  A great Aussie romance and great delivery.  My only wish was that it was a little longer, the end really snuck up on me and I was enjoying it so much and wanted more! I can see this becoming a comfort read that I return to again and again! Loved, loved, loved!!!!

Thank you to Simon & Schuster (Australia) and NetGalley for the eARC copy in exchange for an honest review.

this book was so endearing. I loved Sadie and Jonah and their rivalry had me kicking my feet!! Extra bonus points for the accurate depiction of the (dire) academic job market. Thank you to Simon & Schuster for the ARC!
