One-on-one instruction never felt so rightβor so wrong.
There’s nothing unusual about Mia Page’s attraction to the young science teacher at the middle school. After all, she’s not the only one who finds him enticing. But when he pulls her son aside to ask for her phone number, she knows she’s in serious trouble. Since her divorce four years earlier, she’s been out of circulation, choosing to focus on parenting instead, and she’s not entirely sure she can handle an entanglement with the sexy Mr. Walden.
There are also other reasons why getting involved with Curt would be a bad idea. He’s two years shy of thirty, and she’s on the downside of that unmentionable number. He’s adamant about never having kids, and she has a son. Even the guy’s romantic gifts are suspect. Energy saving light bulbs? He has to be kidding.
On the other hand, he’s fun, sweet, and smart. He stimulates her intellectually, emotionally, and Lord help her, physically, opening her eyes to life outside her comfortable world. Yet their differences quietly gnaw at Mia even while she succumbs to their undeniable chemistry.
As their romance deepens, so do Mia’s fears that Curt will eventually hurt her. On edge, all it takes is an innocent comment to provoke her into drawing first blood. Mia recklessly wounds Curt, learning only too late that this blade cuts both ways. Frantic to make amends, she fears it might be too late to admit the feelings she’s tried so hard to suppress.

Reviewer’s Thoughts
Most mothers that have had a child go through school probably have had a fantasy of being intimate with one of their childrenβs teachers. My daughter is young β only 7 β and thereβs a teacher at her elementary school that is absolutely dreamy! (Donβt tell my husband!) This book takes that fantasy and brings it to life through Mia β a single mother who hasnβt given much time or thought to men since she divorced years ago. When her sonβs science teacher, Curt, asks for her phone number, Mia is taken on a steamy and emotional ride she never thought sheβd travel down again.
This book does a phenomenal job of taking a bitter, lonely woman through an emotional growth that is familiar to so many women. It proves that regardless of age, confidence and self-acceptance goes far in life, and can determine some of lifeβs toughest decisions. Aside from all of the emotions that the book takes you through, it gives you some pretty sexy and steamy scenes too!
The romance between Mia and Curt is a great love story. Itβs one that I wasnβt expecting, and thoroughly enjoyed. I hope that others will indulge themselves and pick this one up.
