A sweet, spicy novella about Aaron, an Army vet who returned to his hometown to work as a cop, and Marcy, a single mom and teacher who has allowed her social life to wither as she works to provide the best life possible for her little girl. Aaron is Marcy’s best friend’s older brother, and their latent attraction to each other has been building since high school until one evening at a bar Marcy ends up pushed up against the wall by Aaron’s body.
Aaron and Marcy communicate openly, enjoy each other physically, and fall in love quickly (after mutually pining for years and years). I loved the relationship, the steam, and the sweet encouragements of their friends. I also loved that Marcy was a schoolteacher, though I didn’t love the completely unrealistic classroom management or the sex in a broom closet (as a teacher myself, it just stressed me out too much to think about getting caught!)
