I found this a bit uneven. I really liked Marvin, the main character, but I found the romance a bit hard to buy into bc I couldnā€™t quite get on board with how wonderful the love interest was portrayed as - I found some of his actions a little emotionally manipulative in a way that made it hard to want to root for these two. The writing was pretty solid, though the editing needed some work. I have the next book in the series and will probably read it to see if I like that pairing better. (Btw the spice level on this book was WAY more than expected - I didnā€™t mind it but it was a lot.)

Reading Teacher Of The Year made me smile. This book is sweet and cute. I love Marvin and Olan so much. Knowing them, make me feel better and feel all smiley. And by reading this book, I finally dive into a new author (again); M.A. Wardell.

I love how he described Marvin's love for Olan in this book. I certainly can't wait to read Teachers in Love #2; which is Mistletoe & Mishigas. And I'm so lucky to have the arc of that book! I'm ready to continue my journey in this series... of course with different characters!

Thank you so much, Matt! You are incredible! What a sweet story!

if you go into this expecting some smut, then you will be happy bc this had more than i was anticipating. i think the plot needed just a little something more. there were topics i feel were talked about briefly and not fully developed/resolved. i WISH marvin would have been in or considered therapy sooner - esp (!!) because of his anxiety [his character felt like he would be someone very open and accepting of being in therapy.] also the lack of dual pov made it feel like olan was such a flat character - it felt as if he all of sudden liked marvin and the biggest parts of his personality was that heā€™d never been with a guy before and he was smartā€¦. like i need more from a LI yā€™all.

What a wonderful book that made me so happy to read. I loved the instant but measured chemistry between the MCā€™s. The book told a fully rounded love story without feeling rushed or drawn out.Ā 

The balance of heat and story was great.

Iā€™m thrilled the author has planned for more books in this world. Hopefully weā€™ll get a few snapshots into the future of Marvin and Olan.
