About this audiobook
Even if Callie were to entertain the idea of dating, she's certain it would be with someone vibrant, open, and close to her own age. Definitely not someone like Dr. Kate Jory, a new member of Pennbrook College's English department. Kate is both intimidating and a closed book. And the age difference between them is not small. But Kate is also brilliant and fascinating, and Callie is drawn to her in ways she'd never imagined possible.
Not that Kate notices. Or does she? Callie can't tell. Even though they develop an engaging and flirtatious friendship, Callie struggles to work up the courage to put herself directly in Kate's romantic path-wary of the type of fire she suspects their sparks could ignite.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Beautifully and skillfully written romance with wonderful narration. I recommend it.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I didn't want the book to end. Was a decent listen.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5If you’re fascinated by WLW relationships that abound in academia, you’ll enjoy this novel. While not as singularly focused as Ann McMan’s witty and wonderful “Beowulf for Cretins,” the complex main characters in this story struggle with a university’s non-fraternization with subordinates and students rules. They also fret over a 16-year age gap, academic status, and past traumas. Often it feels like there are too many supporting characters and keeping up with who’s gossiping to whom gets confusing. But the arc of the budding relationship takes intriguing twists and turns before a satisfying conclusion.
