Holy hot for teacher Lily, what a great second entry to this fun series!

This really was just perfectly sweet and adorable. Larkin & Seb are two delightful little love-muffins. While I enjoyed Impromptu Match, my major complaints were that it bordered on too much sex and was towing the line of being too juvenile in its humour. While this one does have a lot (like, A LOT a lot) sex and Lark is on the young side, I felt it was toned down and fit in this book better.

I also liked that the cast of wrestlers didn't feature as much in this one either - we were able to just focus on the main couple and really got to see their bond solidify. Though, I did enjoy getting to see a different side of Holt - his fondness for Lark was lovely, and he actually gave good advice ;)

Holt snorted an exasperated laugh and reached across the bar to pat my arm. "Oh, Lark."
"What?" Heat flooded my cheeks.
"I'd just forgotten how clueless we can all be at your age."


Seeing Lark come into his own, supported by Seb's patience and unrequited love, was delightful. All in all, a lovely, sweet addition to this lighthearted series. Sometimes you just need to get away from the angst!

I received a free copy of this book from the author and am leaving this review voluntarily.
