About this listen
As a full-time single dad to my seven-year-old daughter and a devoted math teacher leading a robotics team, love isn't a priority.
My focus is keeping my daughter, who has Asperger's, safe and dealing with my ex-wife's refusal to sign divorce papers.
Natalia Pagán, my new coworker from Puerto Rico, is beautiful and sweet. Just like me, she is recently divorced and a single mom as well. Which means she is not looking for someone new, especially someone with lots of baggage like grumpy me. I know that Natalia is completely off-limits.
But as fate would have it, we are forced to share a work space together because of the principal. I keep telling myself to stay away from Natalia, but I can’t stop thinking about her. I even find myself doing nice things, like carrying her heavy mail to her classroom or scheduling playdates for our girls.
Acting on my impulses feels wrong, especially since I'm still married. What kind of jerk would I be if I acted on the impulse to kiss her while knowing that I'm still married? The worst kind of jerk.
Actually, I'm worse than that because I didn't stop with a kiss, and now I can't stay away. She makes me feel like myself again. She reminds me what it's like to want something just for me. She's everything I ever needed but nothing I ever imagined. I should have had the strength to resist her from the start, and I did—I decided that if I were rude to her from the get-go, she would never be interested in me. Yet she's everything I need.
Now, I realize I can't keep pretending to be someone I'm not.

Story
Meet Randi Burnett—she’s brilliant, she’s beautiful, and she works for the bride. Missing groom? Intoxicated in-laws? Crying ring-bearer? You name it, she wrangles it. Too bad her personal life isn’t thriving like her side gig as a bridesmaid for hire. Recently dumped, Randi throws herself into her biggest challenge yet when she’s hired as a maid of honor and pretend best friend for an ice queen bride. There’s just one problem—the best man is infuriating, overprotective, and anti-marriage.

Beckett: If you’re reading this, well, you know the last-letter drill. You made it. I didn’t. Get off the guilt train, because I know if there was any chance you could have saved me, you would have. I need one thing from you: get out of the army and get to Telluride. My little sister Ella’s raising the twins alone. She’s too independent and won’t accept help easily, but she has lost our grandmother, our parents, and now me. It’s too much for anyone to endure. And here’s the kicker: there’s something else you don’t know that’s tearing her family apart.

Heartfelt ride!
This book is such a heartfelt ride!
Liam, the grumpy math teacher, is going through a drawn-out divorce, trying to focus on his daughter with Asperger’s. Natalie, the new art teacher, is also adjusting to her new life after divorcing her cheating ex, with her daughter and the move to Alabama, her priority. Even though Liam’s initial encounters with Natalie are filled with tension, they can’t help but be drawn to each other. As their daughters form an instant bond, so do Liam and Natalie, despite their best efforts to avoid it.
This is a beautiful story about finding love again after messy divorces and navigating the hardships of co-parenting and mental health issues. It shows how kindness, empathy, and love can triumph through adversity.
The text message exchanges between Natalie and her girlfriends had me cracking up! I can’t wait to read Karen’s story; she’s hilarious and such a standout character.
Corrie Beard did a fantastic job narrating all the characters—definitely a performance worth listening to! Recommend adding to your TBR.
Fave scene: The steamy moment at the school after Liam’s divorce is final—so 🔥and hilarious 🤣!

Single parents finding true love
This was a sweet story about a woman who moves from Puerto Rico to Alabama to start a new life after her divorce. Plus her best friend Bianca is already in Alabama, so she and her daughter Sophia will not be alone.
Lust at first sight, Natalia see a super sexy man in the admin building of her apartment complex and then runs into him again as he's a teacher at the same school she will be working at.
Grumpy / sunshine to the core, I love Liam's grumpy demeanor. He's not good at flirting or dating and is just trying to get through his divorce while fighting for full custody of his autistic daughter, Merritt.
There was a lot going on in this story and I was here for it! It was cute, spicy, sweet, and funny throughout the whole book.
A great southern single parent rom-com.

LOVED THIS BOOK!!! ❤️❤️❤️
✨Book Review✨
{Book 90 of 2024}
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🇵🇷 Puerto Rico ➡️ Alabama 🇺🇸
This book was such a sweet story of two people finding their way to each other. But that prologue {IFYKYK} Bottom line… she’s better than me 🥴 From the moment I met this single dad trying to protect his daughter while stuck in a never-ending divorce battle and this single mom recovering from the heartbreak of a cheating husband, I was in a constant desire for them to find a happy ending. 😫💔 Liam and Natalia, I just couldn’t help rooting for them! 🔥 And their sweet girls— the most precious friendship—bridging language and culture. It was the sweetest thing! 👯♀️
As an educator, I loved the focus on their careers as teachers 👩🏫 and soooo many of the school scenes and scenarios hit WAY too close to home! {No, not THAT scene 😵💫} Besides THAT one, they’re SUPER relatable! 💪🏼😳😜
This book is the perfect book for hopeless romantics that believe in second chances ❤️ Between the sweet romance of these two, plus their constant focus on their little girls, this one is going to get you GOOD. 💔
Excited to start the next book in this series— #GroundED COMING SOON!!! 📖
