Thank you for the free book, Berkley Romance! #berkleypartner #berkley #berkleybookstagram

Brianna is a vice principal who takes her role very seriously.  She’s determined to earn money for the school library by participating in a teacher challenge to last for the whole summer in a Mars simulation.  When she arrives, she’s shocked to see the her arch rival, the principal’s son, Roman there.  She is sure he plans to sabotage her and ruin the mission, but Roman proves himself to be trustworthy.  They find themselves falling for each other, but Brianna may have to make an impossible choice. 

This was my first book from Etta Easton, and I really enjoyed it!  Brianna was such a likable and relatable character.  As a teacher, I appreciated her commitment and dedication to her students.  The STEM and space aspect was a fun twist on the rom com, and a new spin on forced proximity.  The chemistry between the two was palpable and created delicious slow building tension.  I will definitely be looking forward to the author’s next book!
