I received and ARC through NetGalley, and this is my willing and honest review.
This book has the cutest cat ever, with some very realistic cat shenanigans.
It is also an interesting twist on student/teacher romances. Namely, the student is in her 40s, divorced, with three kids who are old enough to be university students themselves. Emma is also attracted to women, although this only gets a few mentions, and her youngest child is nonbinary.
I liked reading a romance about two "older" protagonists (compared to what is common in romance novels, anyway), and it was pretty sex-positive. Emma is worried that she might not be as attractive after three children, but Santo doesn't agree, and they have some creative scenes in the bedroom which I appreciated.
My only negative remark is that the drama in the last third felt a bit forced... even though it was kind of obvious that it would come, and yet. Like, I get that he's her professor, but also she's an adult, it is emphasized that their university doesn't even HAVE a rule against them dating, andthey are reported by Santo's friend, who if he was actually a good friend would know Santo's personality and whether he's taking advantage or not . Thankfully, it wasn't really dragged out into something huge.
