I loved this book. MA Wardell does it again with this third book in the Teachers in Love series. We see the return of two past side characters- Vincent (from TOY) and Kent (from M&M) and watch as their relationship develops through a number of disasters and distractions. Each man has their own insecurities and self-described issues, but they each have strong support systems outside of the core relationship. The cast of characters includes past MCs from the other books in the series, so if you loved the other couples, you’ll see them again. 

As can be expected from a Wardell book, the spice is absolutely spicing in this book. Seeing these characters explore their desires and discover new sides of themselves helped strengthen the relationship and the story. 

This story proves that no one is beyond hope for love, but sometimes you need to wait for the right piece to click into place. 
You’re never too old or too much to be loved.
