Taylor Lopez travels from New York to Florida for her high school reunion where she reconnects with a teacher she had a major crush on back then.
Raqel Alonso is charmed by the heavy persuasion from her previous student.
Will it be a fling or a future?
I enjoyed the flirtation between the two women. Often, when romances start with a quick encounter at the beginning, the attraction is there, but have a hard time believing in a more meaningful connection. Here, Arias was able to build a sincere mutual appreciation between the two characters that made me root for them to explore more.
I found the book to be mostly sweet. Taylor is beyond perfect. I tend to like my characters a bit more flawed, but who can be mad about a beautiful, employed, selfless, open-minded, remote-working, always available, willing to travel, helpful, sexually adventurous woman?
There wasn’t a lot of angst in this one. Just a story about a teacher who has put her life on hold to care for her ailing father that finds someone who may be able to fit into her unconventional life.
I recommend this to those who enjoy reading about romance, age-gap, long distance relationships, phone dating, spicy scenes, caretaking, and Tik-Tok cooking tutorials.
