Blurb:
“Did you have relations with my brother . . .”

Good question.

I’d like to preface this by saying it was never my intention to ever get involved in a workplace romance, let alone get involved with the most surly, agitating, and pompous man I’ve ever met who just so happens to be my new friend’s brother.

My intentions were to show students how English and reading books could actually be fun and make a new life for myself in the suburbs of Chicago.

But so far, I’ve managed to be called into the principal’s office.

Coerced into participating in the teacher’s badminton league.

And instigated into passionate fights with Arlo Turner over education and decorum while losing my underwear at the same time.

Known as Mr. Turns Me On, he’s the reason I might get fired from my first ever teaching job.

Prologue:
**GREER**
“Before we get started, I’ve been told I need to ask you a question.” Stella sits cross-legged in front of me, a nervous look on her face, water in hand.

“Oh?” I ask, trying to act casual as I bring my glass of red wine to my lips. I have a scary inkling what this might be about.

She glances over at Coraline and winces. “Uh, I feel weird asking.”

Oh God . . . I was right.

Shifting, I say, “You know, we don’t have to—”

“Then why bring it up if you’re not going to propose your query?” Keiko asks impatiently while pushing her green-rimmed glasses up on her nose. “You know the frequency of these meetings is dependent upon staying within the comprehensive itinerary I composed during my lunchbreak.”

“Cool your bloomers, Keeks,” Coraline says while taking a large sip from her wine glass. “I want to know what’s making Stella so fidgety.”

The four founding members of the Ladies in Heat Book Club—aka my mismatched collection of friends—each bring diverse and unique character traits to our group.

Keiko “Keeks” Seymour—resident AP chemistry teacher at Forest Heights High School. Her social etiquette is lacking, her intelligence is off the charts, and she’d rather play with beakers than penises. She wasn’t thrilled about the book club name and made a noble attempt to explain why her suggestion, the Austen Empowerment Collaborative, was far more credible. Majority ruled, she lost.

Stella Garcia—Spanish teacher at Forest Heights and my co-coach. Currently single, makes the best tamales I’ve ever had, and is one stamp away from getting a free donut at Frankie Donuts. Can be shy at times, but when it comes to her family and friends, she doesn’t take shit from anyone. Loyal to the core, one of the reasons I adore her.

Coraline “Cora” Turner—recent divorcée and living with her brother, Arlo. Jobless at the moment and couldn’t care less about it since both she and Arlo have enough inheritance to last them a lifetime. Often annoyed by her older brother or annoying him, doesn’t partake in Twitter—says it’s a filthy pool of opinions, and is the first to offer up a bottle of wine.

Then there’s me . . .

Greer Gibson—twenty-four-year-old fresh to the teaching scene as Forest Heights’s new English teacher and women’s volleyball coach. I love running, have a penchant for a man in a cardigan, and can get a little noisy in the classroom while teaching. I currently share a classroom wall with Arlo Turner, Forest Heights most prestigious English teacher, and might have lost my underwear—

“Out with it, Stella,” Cora says, snapping at her.

“Please, so we can proceed,” Keeks says, straightening her notepad on her lap.

Stella looks me in the eyes and says, “Brock wants to know if there’s anything going on between you and Turner. Apparently, Turner won’t say a thing, but Brock thinks there’s some strong sexual tension building.”

Cora whips her head to me, her eyes wide. “Are you getting it on with my brother?”

Finger pointed in the air, Keeks leans in and says, “The proper term amongst company would be coitus.”
Rolling her eyes, Cora asks, “Did you have coitus with my brother?”

“You could also say intercourse if that amuses your jargon more,” Keeks adds. “Or copulating would be sufficient. But if you are inclined toward romantic terminology, since we are in the presence of the book club, you could say lovemaking or performing intimate acts. Although, given the circumstances of when coitus took place—in the work environment—I would deduce that your actions were performed carnally rather than with the interest of developing a devoted accord.”

“Good God, Keeks,” Cora says, irritated. “Who cares what it’s called? We just want to know if it happened.” Cora looks me in the eyes. “Did it?”

Did it . . .

Good question.

I’d like to preface this by saying it was never my intention to ever get involved in a workplace romance when I was hired at Forest Heights, let alone get involved with the most surly, agitating, and pompous man I’ve ever met.

My intentions were to show students how English and reading books could actually be fun, bring the volleyball team to a state championship, and make a new life for myself in the suburbs of Chicago.

But so far, I’ve managed to be called into the principal’s office.

Infiltrate the teachers’ athletic league.

And had passionate fights with Arlo Turner over education, decorum, and student-teacher friendships.
Not to mention I’ve lost my panties to him in my dreams more than I care to admit.

Why did this all happen?

Simple.

The man dresses in a cardigan, that’s how.

Arlo Turner. The bane of my existence, annoyance to my sanity, and the only man who’s ever made me want to spread my legs in a classroom.

He’s torn down my metaphorical walls, strapped on a cottony cardigan—pushed up the sleeves—and has driven me to the brink of insanity, so now whenever I hear the mention of his name, my legs automatically spread, and my heartrate picks up.

Known as Mr. Turns Me On, he’s the reason my star athlete is struggling to keep her grades up.

He’s the reason I tend to avoid the teacher breakroom.

And he’s the reason I might get fired from my first ever teaching job.

✍🏻 Professor Romance’s 5 ⭐️ Review: Aly Martinez’s Reclaim ✍🏻

Overall Grade: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

As Thea and Ramsey’s story in Aly Martinez’s Release slowly and achingly resolves itself, a huge secret is revealed that seeks to derail their resolution. That secret is born of Ramsey’s sister, Nora. I remember reading it and being completely astonished by it, but thankfully, Martinez rectifies Thea and Ramsey’s story albeit leaving Nora’s side quiet. With Martinez’s newest book, Reclaim, Nora finds her voice. Had you told me that Nora’s story would usurp her brother’s, I would have laughed at you. See, I read Release on a whim. I was intrigued by the premise, although I had not yet read a romance by Martinez. I downloaded the Audible edition one day and couldn’t stop listening to it. Thea and Ramsey’s epic love story stole a little piece of my heart. When Martinez announced Reclaim, I knew that I needed Nora’s portion of the story, and this book feels even bigger than her brother’s. 

At its most essential level, Reclaim is an enduring romance about resiliency and tenacity. It’s about overcoming trauma and abuse. Reclaim is an ode to overcoming the odds and finding yourself when almost everyone in your life has left you behind. It’s a beautiful story of two people, fated for each other. Camden and Nora are meant to be before they ever really understand what that means. 

Like Release, Reclaim is an epic love story. It spans years, beginning as a friendship between two outsiders and ending as a relationship of soulmates. It is a slow burn. If you are impatient and want immediate results, it isn’t here, but there is a supreme beauty in the evolution of Camden and Nora’s story. Reclaim falls under the friends-to-lovers trope, but it’s one that feels believable. You know from the outset of their meeting that these two will eventually find a future together, but Martinez crafts their story to make you wait. This has more to do with a need for Nora to love herself before someone else can love her. 

Camden is that man. He is the type of hero who feels like a do-gooder, but he’s bucking the society of his upbringing. He has an honor and awareness of right and wrong, even though his immediate and extended family live by a different type of honor, one grounded in family secrets. He is a gem in the context of his upbringing, and he pours so much into Nora that you become enamored with him. Martinez makes you fall in love with Camden because he loves Nora to the marrow of his bones. 

In terms of Nora, Martinez’s heroine, there is a complexity in her characterization. When her secret is revealed in Release, you can’t help but feel angry by her decisions. Yet, Martinez brilliantly humanizes her in Reclaim. You understand her choices even if it causes issues for other characters. You want her to hurriedly heal so she and Camden can find a future together, but Martinez puts you through the paces. This feels like a necessary evil to underscore her message about the need to ask for help and love yourself even when you’ve made poor choices. This feels essential to Martinez’s story. 

Every moment of Martinez’s Reclaim feels like poetry in action. While there are moments when you die for Camden and Nora to be together, I love that Martinez draws a story that meanders through the difficulty of her characters’ lives. It invests you in their heartbreak so that you can cheer on their successes. Aly Martinez’s Reclaim is a story that makes you wait, and in the end, the result is a beautifully wrought ending that promises that even bad choices can result in happily-ever-afters.

In love and romance, 

Professor A

Blurb:
We were supposed to run away after high school graduation.

When she didn’t show up at our meeting place, I gathered my courage and went after her.

It was a mistake.

I left bloodied and bruised.

My heart didn’t fair half as well.

I had no choice but to walk away.

Years passed. A decade. More.

I traveled the world, settled halfway around the world, made myself a name and enough money that I didn’t have to look back.

But I never got over her.

And when my memories got the best of me, I went looking. Put all my effort behind the search.

Even the best of the best private eyes couldn’t find the woman I’d deeply loved.

Then, out of the blue, she calls.

And, what she asks for, the favor that she wants?

I never thought I’d be willing to take a life.

But the truth is, and always has been: I’d do anything for her.

Book one of three in the final trilogy in the Dirty Universe.

She is a sucker for a good romance and gets giddy anytime there’s kissing, much to the embarrassment of her three daughters. Her husband doesn’t seem to complain, however.

✍🏻 Professor Romance’s 4 1/2 ⭐️ Review: Roxie Noir’s One Last Time ✍🏻

Overall Grade: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 1/2

So. I’ve been involved with Roxie Noir’s Loveless Brothers since Daniel and Charlie, the second book of this series, Best Fake Fiancee. There is just something about these brothers. Maybe it’s the small-town romance aspect of it. Maybe it’s the brotherhood shared in each book. Maybe it’s the way in which they feel protective, guarded, and ready for love. I’m sure it’s the women who enter their lives, their protected, comfortable lives, and shake them up. I know that has a lot to do with it. However, over the course of reading their stories, I have fallen in love with Roxie Noir’s ability to draw us into their lives as though they could be our family or our friends. Thus far, Levi Loveless has been my favorite, and even after Noir’s newest book, One Last Time, he still holds that title. 

One Last Time tells the anticipated story of Seth Loveless and Delilah Radcliffe. If you’ve read any of the other books of this series, then you are vaguely familiar with their story. However, thus far, it’s possible that the Loveless Brothers’ perspective of Delilah might be tainted, and you must enter One Last Time ready for an unreliable narrator in Seth. That’s only fair to Delilah. What you receive from One Last Time is a muti-faceted lesson in love. Of the books in this series, for me, this is THE most complex one. There is much you gain from this epic romance told over the years. Because at its base form, One Last Time is a second chance romance.  You move slowly through Noir’s romance. Normally, I inhale books, reading through them with ease. Noir crafts this book to move you slowly through Delilah and Seth’s relationship, and this is brilliantly intentional because interwoven through their coupling are questions about right person-wrong time, the difficulties of relationships in general, and feelings of inadequacy which lead to unhealthy versions of one’s self. Honestly, Seth and Delilah’s story is a painful one because, before they mature, they must work through their immaturity at love, and that can be difficult. 

Over and over in this book, Noir illustrates how damaging people in relationships can be to each other. She shows us that the past cannot stand as the ultimate measure of the future because we grow and change and move on. This is the burr in the saddle of Delilah and Seth’s journey, and you must sit back and acknowledge the truth that Noir lays bare in this story: that no relationship is perfect. It’s fraught with the insecurities of its participants. This understanding feels necessary in the world of romancelandia where that pain is often glossed over with happy endings. That isn’t to say that there isn’t a happy ending with One Last Time. In fact, that’s the promise of enduring the pain of Seth and Delilah’s journey. However, the happy ending feels nuanced in the context of the reality of relationships. That they are, quite frankly, hard. For this reader, I love Noir’s insistence in this story of making her hero and heroine WORK for that happy ending. Through flashbacks and present-day trials, you find them falling back into love, but it isn’t simple in this book. This book doesn’t have the ease of Daniel and Charlie or Levi and June. Noir creates this tension between her characters that feels palpable until her characters come to understand that the past doesn’t have to define them, that they can change, and that happy endings are worth fighting for. In a world where messy TikTok exists and the divorce rate is high, I think Noir’s insistence on Seth and Delilah’s difficulties feels very, very important. We live in a world where we believe that relationships are easy, and if they aren’t, there is something wrong. What Noir suggests through One Last Time is that any good relationship is worth the effort. 

I am going to miss the Loveless Brothers. I hope Roxie Noir gifts us with bonus scenes full of babies and marriages and everything good you find in romancelandia. However, if she doesn’t, I know she has ended this series well with the final book, One Last Time. It’s a perfect period to end a very imperfect relationship. Delilah and Seth is the Loveless relationship you need today in our messy world. 

In love and romance, 

Professor A

Seth Loveless has been my weakness since I was sixteen years old.

One Last Time, an all-new second chance romantic comedy from Roxie Noir, is available now!

Two years ago, I moved back to my hometown. I started a business, bought a house, took up yoga, and went on hiatus from dating. Life is good.
If I never had to see Seth, it would be perfect.
After all, my history with my ex-boyfriend is anything but simple. It’s taken us years, but we’ve finally learned to live in the same town without killing each other.
Is there an elaborate set of rules governing our every casual interaction?
Yes.
Do I still think dirty, off-limits thoughts every single time I see him buying apples at the grocery store?
Of course. I’m only human, and Seth and I are practically experts at the two F’s: fighting, and…
…sleeping together.
Still, we’re managing just fine.
And then?
He shows up at my sister’s wedding. The man looks like pure sex in a suit, handsome as the devil himself and twice as charming.
Worse, he claims he’s my date.
We flirt.
We dance.
We break every one of our carefully-crafted rules, and we… should stop.
Too bad I’m having the time of my life.
I know I should end it. After all the heartbreak, hurt, and anger we can’t be more than enemies.
But Seth asks me for one more night.
Just one night.
Then, we’re back to being virtual strangers to each other.
I know I should turn him down.
I know this ends with my heart shattered into a million pieces.
I know lunacy is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

But I’ve always been bad at resisting a weakness.

One Last Time is a standalone romantic comedy and the final book in the Loveless Brothers series.

✍🏻 Professor Romance’s 5 ⭐️ Review: Devney Perry’s Noble Prince ✍🏻

Overall Grade: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

“I’d remember how he taught me about love. That real love existed without judgment. Without conditions. Without perfection. A love that would last my lifetime.”

In Devney Perry’s recent books, the heroes she’s crafted have been men of honor. She is quite skilled at crafting any type of hero, and if you’ve read her books, you know that they run the gamut of tortured and broken to stalwart and honorable. Yet, in these recent stories, these heroes feel integral. It feels necessary that her heroes are the type of men we need right now especially faced with the men we find on the world stage. Maybe I’m reading into it, as I usually do, but for this reader, there is hope and peace that comes from Perry’s careful characterizations. In her latest book, Noble Prince, Luke Rosen is everything you love in a hero who believes in justice against tyranny. Before this book released into my hands, I had been waiting for him, as we met him in Stone Princess as Presley’s dating partner and then the wielder of justice in the face of the tragedy of that story. We knew that he was responsible for whisking her sister, Scarlett, away, and Perry offered up a promise that Noble Prince would reveal their romance. What this book does is make us believe in “good” men again. I know it’s fictional, and these aren’t real people, but Perry crafts Luke Rosen in such a way that you can’t NOT hope for these men who struggle with the choice to do what’s right by the law or what’s right by the people. Every moment of this book left me rapt and wanting more until the end where Perry’s epilogue is the first in a while that left me not quite satiated. Instead, she has left me wanting Leo’s story, which we’ll find in Fallen Jester, and I can’t wait. 

Now, I’ve spent so much of this review thus far discussing Luke Rosen, but really, the true star is Scarlett. In her characterization, Perry shows us the devastation of abuse. This story is really about how, when given a safe place, a place where love resides, then trauma can be healed. Perry writes this beautifully constructed story of forced proximity that shows how love is meant to empower us. This is Scarlett’s journey. Every step feels profound and important. Scarlett and Luke together are everything you love about Devney Perry romances. They are fated, they are soulful, and their evolution makes you swoon.  I know my favorite part of this story is their trek on the river and the way in which it brings them closer, helping them realize a possible future together. These two simply complete each other. 

Noble Prince is also more of what you love about Devney Perry’s Tin Gypsy series. If you think the drama of Clifton Forge is over, it isn’t. In the background of Scarlett and Luke’s fall into love, the action of the Tin Gypsies and Warriors is played out to the point that it leaves you in suspense. And it isn’t over. If you think there is resolution, Perry is squeezing out the tension to the bottom of the tube which just makes you want more of this series. 

I cannot say it enough: I adore Devney Perry’s storytelling. In her evocation of the Wyoming/Montana life, you receive another level of character in her stories. The people of Clifton Forge (or Jamison Valley or Lark Cove) feel real. They seem like us, real people set in exaggerated situations, and I know that’s why Perry’s stories are beloved. We see ourselves in a character such as Scarlett whose past is rife with trauma, yet she finds love as a healing salve that empowers her towards change. This feels like an important message right now, the idea that love can heal and transcend. And if you love stories with that undercurrent flowing through it, then you WANT Noble Prince

In love and romance,
