Nawwww I loved this!
Premise is Jennifer (the FMC) needs to carpool with Marcus (the MMC), as they work at the same college and her car is being repaired. They’re from a small town where she’s always been the serious good girl and he was the irresponsible bad boy (but is ALL grown up now).
The book has Noelle Adam’s usual trademark steam, but what I loved most was all the intimate conversations they had while driving. All that vulnerability, yearning, cautious affection and finally the tenderness when they get together — 🥺😍.

Oh my my my my my my. This is the kind of car pool I definitely want to sign up for. You know that I’m right ladies. Do not deny it. I loved this book.
I was delighted to see how the writer built up the relationship between these two characters (Jennifer and Marcus). There was no instant hit the sheets wam bam thank you ma’am writing. This book had great thought and respect to the word romance.
It was steamy. It was romantic. It was soft and it was gentle, except in the back of the truck.
And it was witty, good banter. Oh and throw in great conversational topics. This book was a quick read, but a good quick read. It was not boring at all people. Read the book you hopeless romantics you. It will not disappoint you. I recommend this book.

Seriously such a cute quick read. Read it in just over an hour, but I’m a fast reader. This book was slightly uncomfortable in the beginning because of how much she dislikes him. Every conversation seemed ridged. But in a pleasant “I have to find out what happens way.” I couldn’t put it down. It morphed into a friendship and then more. It’s a HEA small town romance that really wasn’t that far fetched.
The way that Marcus had so much advice and not in a condescending way was so sweet. Jennifer character was uptight but let her hair down around Marcus, but is such a sweet character!
