Recommendation
This might be the perfect book for summer! It’s a great mix of my favorite tropes, enemies-to-lovers and teacher-(former)student romance. It’s the perfect combination of sexy and sweet, with witty banter and steamy chemistry. There’s a great message in there about how kind, encouraging words can really change someone’s life path. “McSlutbag” and “Roxie with and I-E” will make you laugh and swoon. I hope we get more romance from Bracken Middle School!
Excerpts
“McSlutbag is hotter than a middle school teacher has the right to be, and I’m a celibate, very thirsty young woman.”
"I'm gonna put on these high-tops and ride you like a cavewoman on a T-rex."
Love is more than just a four-letter word. It's a life-threatening plague that refuses to die, no matter how much alcohol you drown it with or how much fire you try to kill it with.
Publisher synopsis
I can't believe I'm standing on the steps of Bracken Middle School again.
Ten years ago, this place was my worst nightmare, no thanks to Jack "McSlutbag" Slater, the teacher who blocked my shot at a full basketball scholarship. But time heals many wounds, and I'm only a few months away from earning my undergrad in education, despite the hell Slater once put me through.
Now I'm the teacher. I'll help kids rather than destroy them. If I can just get through this semester without too many fouls, I'll be fine.
But it's not fine. Because when I go to meet my new supervisor, McSlutbag's sitting behind the desk, looking like a gorgeous, vengeful god ready to mete out punishment for slights–some real, most perceived–committed by the hellion I used to be.
Worse? The cold hatred I once felt for him has turned hot enough to set my drawers on fire.
I want him. In a bad way.
So long, dream internship. Hello, sexy nemesis.
McSlutbag's about to meet his match. Again.
