This book is the first book in the Blossom Beach series. We meet Everett who inherited a house in South Carolina from his grandmother and he left his life in Seattle packed up his stuff and moved into this house. Everett was looking for a change and luckily he was able to find a teaching position as well. Gemma (who is a widow) and her family have lived her a long time, in fact she’s Everett’s new neighbor. Gemma and Everett meet each other several times until they realize they live next door to one another. Now Everett is invited to dinner by Sutton (Gemma’s son) before they realize he will be their teacher. This book is really a lighthearted romance, no angsty, and no drama. It starts as a friends with benefits relationship that must be kept secret obviously since he’s her son's teacher. But eventually feeling develop on both sides and they have to work through their own personal issues. The book moves at a good pace and it was a sweet story, but it was spicy.
