A cute marriage of convenience book with sweet characters. Only 3.25 stars because of excessive unnecessary drama, annoyingly insecure characters, and not enough spice.

CW/TW: absentee parent(s), brief mention of parent death, brief mention of parent chronic illness, mention of incarceration, mention of temporary foster care placement, reference to teenage teasing/bullying (not detailed, not explicit), brief incidence of fat-shaming, living with a neurodivergent child

Shay and Noah are wonderful. I loved how they both were with Gennie. I did like that Shay didn't get lost in her too much. I also loved the found family that she had collected around herself. I enjoyed how grumpy Noah was. I also enjoyed the small revelations that Shay observed about Noah. Everyone needs friends like Shay's to help them through things.

I laughed, I cried, I enjoyed the spice. This book made me laugh out loud and made me feel all the feels. It is well-written and very relatable in many senses. I love that Shay is a teacher and that she wears quirky earrings and she’s unafraid of being herself. I also fell in love with the foul-mouthed pirate child Gennie. She was astute and full of wisdom beyond her years, while also being a hilarious kid. Grumpy sunshine and friends to lovers is always a good combination for me for a romance so I liked that too!

I really enjoyed this pairing of a teacher and a single dad. The chapter starters with the objectives for students were so creative. I also loved how dedicated Noah was to Gennie and also his farm and Shay.

Okay, I liked this one a lot more than I was anticipating! The synopsis didn't necessarily feel like something I'd love, but alas, I did love it! Shay and Noah were destined to be together and I just loved how the second-chance romance trope was executed in this. As a soon-to-be teacher, I loved Shay's teaching perspective and how she tutored Gennie. Speaking of Gennie, what an absolute HOOT! I loved that little girl so much! The steam was also *incredible*! This one was almost a five-star read for me, but it fell short because of Shay's indecisiveness on letting Noah love her... ma'am, he's been in love with you since high school, just let him IN!!! Overall I really loved all the characters and enjoyed the storyline so much! Highly recommend this one :) -- Available on KU!

this has the perfect ratio of pining + romantic interactions and that is why i would always disagree with the current discourse that contemporary romance novels shouldn’t be longer than 300 pages. i like to savor the slow burn; and characters are more fleshed out this way

I enjoyed this book. It did not need to be quite as long as it was, I felt a slightly sped up timeline or some editing would’ve benefitted the book. Noah was the perfect mix of sweet and protective grump. I liked that both Noah and Shay were vulnerable and tried to support each other in confronting their insecurities. Gennie was a cute rambunctious kiddo that added a fun dynamic. This book is a bit of a slow burn but is quite spicy once you hit that point in the book. I would recommend this book!
