2.5 stars might even be too generous.
I just felt like there was so much wrong with this book. The overall story was ok, but the MMC, Noah, he felt so controlling at times and also he kept calling Shay WIFE. The amount of times I read the word WIFE was appalling and a huge turnoff in the book.

Gennie is probably the only character that made this book earn the stars it did.

Sometimes when books are popular, I often wonder if I read the same book.

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!
