Resumen del Editor

College professor Johanna Marshall swore she would never fall in love again. She especially did not want to become involved with someone who has a reputation as an extreme womanizer...someone like Kelly Sambino.

But on a hot summer night, Jo finds herself unable to resist Kelly. What follows is something Jo would like very much to quickly forget. Embarrassed after their night of passion, Jo hopes she will never have to see Kelly again. Then, when Fall classes begin, Jo finds herself face to face with the college's new Literature Professor - Kelly Sambino.

Will Kelly's charms win Jo over? Will Jo listen to her friends or will she, in a moment of need, follow the stirrings in her heart?

Loved it

You can't go wrong with Gerri Hill and Abby Craden. My favorite duo. I love anything by Gerri.

Separating lies from truth has never been sweeter!

OR spicier! Chemistry is a funny thing- it’s hard to see, understand or fully appreciate as a “concept” and it never lives up to the hype until it is fully experienced- both in and out of the bedroom! And then, it knocks you down, lifts you up, shoots you into heaven and brings you back to earth! It’s more that an “A-ha” moment, it’s an Oh my God, didn't know what I was missing, SPARK that ignites a fire across time and space, AND these characters have it! It’s experienced in tiny and big moments and realized with time and trust! Great supporting cast of characters and wonderful narration flesh out the story line. It’s so very tempting to make a joke about the lesbian with her finger in the… lets just say the dam, and when the “dam” breaks, it all comes pouring out in a great HEA! No, not saying another word- you have to read it to get the full story!

Great author

I love all of Gerri Hill’s books. I love Abby as the narrator. I feel like I’m right there with the characters, watching everything unfold. I’ve listened to all of them several times. My only complaint is some of them aren’t longer.

Listen to your heart and not your friends

This is a sweet story about how one horrible relationship almost ruins the chance of happiness and love. Kelly and Jo are meant to be from that very first dance. Jo has a friend with her own personal agenda and fills Jo's head with untruths about Kelly. This makes it hard for Jo to see that Kelly is not her no good cheating ex. The intimate scenes are written well and will leave your heart beating a little faster. Abby Craden's narration is amazing and brings the story to life. I find myself searching out books she has narrated more and more. I really like the length of the book, bit it does get a little repetitive with Jo's indecisiveness about her feelings for Kelly. With that being said, I've still read this book multiple times and listening has made it a favorite again. The author Gerri Hill is amazing. I'll continue reading or listening to everything she puts out.

A 20 year old gem

When I heard the summation at the end of the recording, I could not believe it when I heard that this story was 20 years old.
Maybe because little has changed?
People still feel damaged and insecure when a relationship ends because of infidelity. Sometimes that damage can become a roadblock to future happiness as told in this story.
Ignoring that, this is a typical romance from Gerri Hill, and that’s a good thing. Abby Craden is, as usual, spot on.
There is a lot of steamy passion. Loads of love and humor. Lots of angst.
And of course many occasions when the listener wants to scream “Wake Up!!!
What more can you ask for 😘

Absolutely loved!

Enjoyable read. Cute story with natural dialogue and relatable characters. I would definitely recommend this one.

Gerri Hill and Abby Craden: Magic!

Gerri Hill is an amazing storyteller. Any story narrated by Abby Crayden is an experience.

Absolutely Beautiful!

Nothing left to be said! But since there is a word requirement, I loved it!

A Main Character That….

A main character that is weak and undecided, can only be redeemed by the woman who loves her.
Joanna (Jo) has been burnt by love, and therefore decides she will never fall in love again.
Along comes Kelly, a new instructor at the same college Jo teaches at, and a star softball player on Jo’s friends’ team.
Kelly is gorgeous with a bad girl reputation.
She falls deeply in love with Jo, who pulls her close, then pushes her away. Strong, lovely Kelly always honors whatever way Jo’s mood is taking her. It’s okay to be in love one day, but the next, Jo is telling Kelly she “can’t do this”
I lost count of how many times this push/pull happens. It’s
enough that the character of
Jo becomes extremely unlikeable.
One thing that is a reoccurrence in almost all of Hill’s work,is that the MC’s always have sex immediately after a traumatic event ie: death, assault etc. The sex scenes are almost the same reading every.single. time.
Abby Crayden’s performance and the character of Kelly, kept me plowing through this. If not for them, I wouldn’t have finished.
If repetitive sex scenes, and a whiny, exasperating MC is your jam, then you’ve just found your next great read!
