I voluntarily read and reviewed a copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
HEA: yes
POV: 3rd person FMC POV
spice: one open-door spicy scene
TWs: n/a
standalone: book 1 in the Lesson in Love series
final thoughts: I’m loving these novellas so much and I hope there are more in the future! This was a great single POV of April as she denies her feelings for Cal until he finally gets her to cave and admit her feelings. Cal is such a sweet MMC, and I was rooting for him from the first introduction. I love seeing them in the other books in the series too since they’re happening on a side-by-side timeline instead of linear.
I don’t typically like the miscommunication trope but it was so silly (and small) in this book and made for a great dislike-to-lovers story arc. I love the characters (main and side) in these books, and I need more! I have unanswered questions and a need for their “5 years later” engaged/married epilogues
