Mandy Varoni has sworn off men for all of eternity. You would too if you'd had your heart broken, and your life shattered, the way she did. It was no surprise to anyone when Mandy picked up and moved across the country to start her life over. As a school teacher, she quickly develops a love for all of her adorable third grade students, focusing all of her energy on them. She particularly has a soft spot for one, sweet little boy who has recently lost his father.

Nathan Tyler is successful, funny, athletic, strikingly handsome, and happily single. He also happens to be a devoted uncle, dedicated to helping his older sister raise her young son after a family tragedy.

Through a mutual love of sports and an adorable little blonde boy, Mandy and Nate's lives begin to intertwine. While they are both reluctant to settle into any sort of relationship, the sparks igniting between them cannot be denied. With some convincing from her best friend, Mandy finally decides to let go and have a little bit of casual fun.

Mandy and Nate's chemistry and sexual compatibility move beyond casual fun. Until they soon realize they are in over their head when their relationship, and a precious little, blond haired conflict of interest, are thrust into the spotlight.

Holy Hotness!

Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2021

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Getting to know Mandy and Nate was so warming. Mandy was a little bit broken from her previous relationship and a falling out with her family. And Nate was a serial dater since he was heart broken by his first girlfriend. The two of them begin their bond of soccer and the fact that Nate’s nephew is Mandy’s student and from there the relationship really flourishes. Nate may just be one of the sweetest men ever and the way he cares for Mandy is so beautiful.
On top of the adorable bond that is growing between them, the steamy scenes were great.
I honestly couldn’t put the book down and look forward to the next book by Kaye.

This is a story for winter evenings. You can enjoy it alone or with you partner. Anyway the romance helps to fly away into dreams and you will not be back soon. But do not lose sight of the plot!

I couldn’t wait to recommend this book to my partner. We had to read chapter by chapter together. The descriptive mind that Kaye has is unmatched. I only wish I had read this 20 years ago.

Not usually a sports fan reader, but the blurb looked interesting and so here I am.....

Mandy moved away from heartbreak and her family, she decided once away she would devote her life to the kids she taught, she didn’t need love!

Nathan grew up with a loving family, but when grief tore the family up, he devoted his time and energy to his family.
Making a name for himself in the town for his gym, Nathan decided the only companionship he needs is one night stands!

I’m still not a sports fan, but this was pretty good. It explains soccer in a way that wasn’t boring.
But the thing that grabbed me and kept me reading was the main characters Nathan and Mandy.
They were so dedicated to there that they needed their own happy ending.
Reading their story made me smile for most of the book. Both were attracted to one another, but neither would commit.
They shared so many likes it was almost as if they were made for one another.
But Mandy’s fear of being hurt and Nathan’s fear of commitment is the one thing keeping from admitting their true feelings for one another!

So when an incident at school puts Mandy in an awkward position, she does the only thing she can. She ends it with Nathan!
Can Nathan convince Mandy he wants her forever? Or will she just remember that love hurts and it’s not worth it?

I had to admit, when the writer isn’t talking with the characters it feels a little stilted, very wooden and almost script like! In places it really dragged!

Holy hot 🥵

Nathan Tyler, you sexy sexy man - I can’t even!

After an absolutely nasty separation Mandy Varoni moved across the country to start her life over.

Mandy is a teacher for 8 year olds, an absolute sweetheart who cares maybe a little too much - but she truly just wants to connect and be there for these young little darlings.

She enjoys spending quality time doing extracurricular activities with her students outside of the classroom, so when her student Tanner invites her to his Soccer practice she doesn’t say no - soccer is Mandy’s choice of sports, as she used to play professionally.

Nathan is the coach of the U8-9 team, and he is so enamoured with Mandy when they meet, he becomes rather speechless.

Their chemistry, banter and sexual compatibility is so good.

This is an incredible romance, with so much steam 🥵

✔️ Small Town-Ish
✔️ Sports
✔️ HEA
✔️ Heat 🥵 (some lovely scenes, I tell you) who likes a blindfold 😉

If you love fast paced, a no fuss romance then this is the book for you, some drama but not a lot.
Pick this up ASAP, enjoy it.
Get your cold shower ready.
That is all ☺️
