Well thought out characters. Good story.

The author uses just enough technical talk to make it believable but not too much that it's difficult to read. All of the characters are realistic. It hooks you and you can't put it down. I'd recommend this book and anything by this author whole heartedly.

This book was so good I couldn't put it down! The story was great and the writing style is so smooth and believable it just draws you right into the story

If you're a romance reader who's a big fan of the grumpy/sunshine trope, plus a totally competent hero who isn't oozing of toxic masculinity but isn't a cinnamon roll, either, this one is for you. Set in a totally fun setting (Oh no! We're snowed in!) that's perfect to snuggle up in a blanket with a cup of your favorite warm brew and get lost in, it's best to put aside a nice afternoon if you can, because this book will have you hooked. Tension for days, snark, intrigue, and of course every romance reader's favorite WHEN WILL THEY KISS ALREADY? vibes, Cat and Nate will have you from the get! (And keep on giving the whole way through!)

There was something about Abbeydon Academy that was soothing and comforting. A little bit of real life here, I was sick while I was reading it and when I was trying to rest, I would constantly pick the book up again. Even if I was only able to read a couple of chapters at a time (I napped a lot while I was down for the count), I still couldn't get enough. I adored Brandon and Gina. Both characters are loving, compassionate, and so dang down to earth. I loved the fact that even with all that going on, neither of them were perfect. Coming off a very nasty injury, Brandon believes he is broken. From his bouts of PTSD to his belief that he can't burden his problems onto anyone, he's dealing with a lot. If he would just open his eyes, he would see the Gina is perfect for him. She gets in him ways he doesn't even get himself. And Gina... Yeah, she's the dedicated teacher, she has a prejudice against sports. When Brandon comes into town, he shows her that there are positives with sports. Not all of it is bad. Throughout the book, they learned from each other. They bounced ideas off each other. And I gotta say... Their chemistry was pretty flipping fantastic. I cannot wait for the next book in the Bristol Park series. I have to say, Abbeydon Academy is my favorite so far.

Back in the mountain town she’d loved as a girl, Katie is a newly hired kindergarten teacher who’s quite taken with the very handsome firefighter who demonstrates the use of a firehose to her class. When she realizes who the hunky man really is, she’s intrigued but reluctant to identify herself.

After a tumultuous young adulthood, Amos has finally overcome the stigma of being associated and in trouble with his drug addicted former best friend and has earned his spot in the department. He’s definitely enjoying the cute new teacher at the school where he’s helping out with public safety day. Amos later finds out who she really is, and while he’s very interested In Katie, there are some serious obstacles to overcome.

Is there any hope for these two? Will Katie’s brother come between not just the two of them but will it cost Amos his fledgling career?

This was a bit of a messy, angsty New Adult novella by a new to me author. I received an advance reader copy from booksirens, and I’m sharing my honest review.

The book is written with a style that is so easy to read. You get so lost in the story you'll lose track of time. No over-use of adjectives or corny dialog just normal characters talking like normal people. The only problem is you won't want to put it down and you'll be ready for the next book in the series immediately so be prepared. I've read this book twice already!
