About this listen

AN AMAZON BEST ROMANCE BOOK OF THE MONTH!

A passionate vice principal and a guarded science teacher compete for a grand prize, only to realize their budding relationship might be the real jackpot.

Brianna Rogers has been told a time (or six) she needs to stop jumping into things head first. But when the principal rescinds his approval for a library upgrade, deciding to spend the money on a football field instead, she sees red. Literally. Brianna throws her hat in the ring and joins a team of teachers who will spend their summer in a Mars simulation. As the sister of an astronaut, this should be easy, right? What she didn’t count on was the last-minute addition to the team—Roman Major: science teacher, son of the principal, and too handsome for his own good.

Roman and Brianna have been hot and cold all year, and living in close quarters intensifies their animosity and attraction. Brianna is sure he’s been sent by his father to sabotage them, foiling their chance at prize money that will cover all of the school’s actual needs. But each day, Roman proves himself to be a dedicated teammate—and Brianna finds herself falling harder and harder. While it’s clear the feeling is mutual, she can’t shake the sense that he’s hiding something. As the simulation nears its end, Brianna realizes she may have to make an impossible choice, between the school she’s dedicated herself to, and the man who has won his way into her heart.

Very predictable story. I got really bored from the middle to the end. Overall I say it was an okay story, but I wouldn’t read it again or recommend!

It was okay

Love the story line, just need another book in this series from Camille’s POV. Only critique, the narrator mispronounced Amerie (The Kiss Countdown) name. Towards the beginning of the book it’s pronounced just like it is in The Kiss Countdown audiobook, then towards the middle she changes the pronunciation which threw me off a bit, as I thought it was a different character.

Perfect Story to be Read After The Kiss Countdown

Absolutely loved this book/audible. The perfect example of a pure love, although there were a few steamy schenes. Etta Easton is slowly becoming one of my favorite authors. Can’t wait to read her next release.

Loved loved loved!

More nerdy space romance! Vice principle and science teacher who have both been quietly pining after each other for *reasons end up stuck in a space simulation for a few months during summer break to save their middle school library.

This was nerdy, had a more quiet romance, lots of plot on keeping their Mars simulation space home up and running, and a hero who is just stoically into the heroine. This was lighter, a bit bland, but overall a nice palate cleanser after reading some very angsty books recently.

Cute & nerdy!
