[Christine · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

OK so in this book I just wanted to slap Abigail for her insecurities getting soooo out of control and Bernadette for her petty small mindedness! Thank goodness for Abi's dad! Jed also surprised me by coming to terms with Abi growing away from him. Excellent 3rd installment in this series. Looking forward to the next book.

Abigail and her nervousness and second guessing has started to get annoying in this book. BUT I still am moving on to #4.

Right before the school year is set to begin, Rose Owens is told that her Honors History Class is going to be given to a newly hired teacher named Martin Krause. Rose wants to hate him, but finds him to be a sweet man, who goes out of his way to help her as much as she helps him. Rose goes out on a limb and asks Martin on a date, but after he refuses, he quickly realizes his mistake and sets out to make himself irresistible to Rose. Teach Me does a good job of shedding light on many issues faced by teachers on a daily basis, but unfortunately, the romance is a little lack-luster. This short book doesn't do enough with developing characters and creating more than superficial emotional backstories. However, the characters are likable, especially Rose's former in-laws, Annette and Alfred, who put on a show of being old and frail every time something doesn't go their way. Overall, Teach Me hits the right notes several times in the book, but not enough to make this more than an average romantic comedy.

Sweet, steamy, full of heart. Teachers loving teachers in an unconstrained passion for their jobs and each other... I mean, that sounds a little silly, but the book has enough love to cover it. Particularly love how they care so much about their students, and everything takes a back-seat to that. There's a lot of somewhat self-conscious modeling -- explicitly supportive conversations on the topics of women's pride, fierceness and praise for unapologetic identity claiming. Pushback about toxic masculinity, elevation of found family and healing after divorce. The real strengths of the book are in hilarious dialogue and compassionate but thorny characters. Good stuff!

I was excited to read a romance about older characters. We need more stories like this one, where two people in their 40s are reaching for what they want both professionally and personally. I loved that Rose and Martin were both dedicated teachers. Their characters were written well and I was able to really connect with both of them. I recommend this book to romance readers who want a book about more mature characters, but also want something a little fun without too much angst. There is a little bit of conflict, but it doesn't drag the story down. Enjoy!

This featured an ice queen, composed heroine and an aware, sweet, tender hero. They were teachers, both history, lots of good stuff there.

But some of the romance felt artless, rushed, and ultimately, for me, unsatisfying. There were a lot of conversations-the type that likely do take place between two history teachers with a solid grasp of the implications and limitations of their field, BUT...it felt really forced. The conflict felt kind of silly-leading to a basic lack of climax-and a resolution that didn't feel effective or 'deserved.' Had this just been a quiet love story, I think it would have had more success. Given the fact that I was grinning like an idiot for the first 60-80 pages, I do think was ultimate sweetness--just for me the kind that leaves me feeling a little hungry.

I would never want to influence someone away from this author and book, however, because I'm sure not everyone will experience it the same way. And it's not your run of the mill love story-the protagonists in this story are 43&47 and incredibly self-aware. They felt real, but the story just didn't in that way that clicks for me.

I read a review that accused this book of racism-against cishet white males. That's not how racism works. And 'not all white men' was exactly the point of this story-the hero is a non-toxic man who understands his privilege and his impact. This is quite central to the connection between the characters. Further, even the most non-toxic men I know, in general, do not realize that someone might be hard to work with because they are dudes (that is, aren't confronting their privilege). Here's a conversations with my male boss from years back (who I adore, to this day, for the record)

B: I don't understand why you don't like working with Guy, he's always been great and super easy to work with for me.
S: Oh, well he questions everything I do and say and was very difficult for Gina (different, female boss) too. Very dismissive. Talks over us.
B: I wonder why he isn't like that with me
S: Yes, I...wonder. [Having witnessed Guy's dynamics a billion times over--let's say he is a mansplainer way outside his territory]
B gives me a puzzled look.
S: B, you are a dude. I am not.
*His jaw drops* B: I never...I...omg, I'm sorry I've never noticed that.

So, the moral of this semi-unrelated story is, my friend and boss listened to me. But he also was not aware that him working with random Guy was much easier b/c they both have dicks. Boss isn't a bad person, he just didn't realize, which is EXACTLY Rose's point in the book. This is usually the case. And I...I don't find that insulting. It's like...an observation of a general fact of a

you know what? I'm off topic. But this is why I'm sad to give this book only 3 stars...
