Samantha Markson is just an ordinary woman, teaching kids at one of the best schools in Melbourne. Her life suddenly becomes a lot less ordinary when she's given the special assignment of teaching Grace, daughter of famous actress Abigail Taylor. As things heat up between Sam and Abby, Sam struggles to fight her growing attraction, because a relationship with Abigail Taylor is too good to be true... isn't it?
I'm going to admit, I started this book months ago, and I don't remember much from the beginning, hence the approximated rating. I'm going to be briefer with this review because of that.
Pros:
- Well-developed (and likable) characters, including the side characters
- Solid, realistic dialogue with some funny quips thrown in there
- Cute romance between the leads
- I love how well Sam gets along with Grace, Abby's daughter
Cons:
- The path to getting together was a bit too smooth IMO (they very quickly discovered their mutual interest)
- Which meant that the plot slows down halfway through the book (leading me to stop reading for a few months before picking it back up)
This was a well-written and thoughtful story, although I wish it had a little more excitement to keep me fully engaged.
