We begin this journey in New York at a bar with Daniel who wanted a drink and got a hot, young hookup and a wonderful connection with Caleb. But it wasn’t the right time for them, no matter how much of a connection they had. After their amazing night together they forget to trade numbers, but they had made plans to meet up again. Unfortunately, fate was against them because timing matters.
Now 7 months later our journey picks back up in Vermont with Caleb starting a new semester and his new hot history teacher is none other than Daniel. Daniel is a cute flustered mess when he notices Caleb.
The problem is they both were shocked to see each other and while Caleb handled it better and more maturely, Daniel panicked badly. There were a lot of hurt feelings on Caleb’s part from being stood up and Daniel’s heart hurt because of that missed date and wanting to see Caleb again so badly.
Their love story started out with bad timing and then restarted with a rocky path. These two men were made for each other though and fate was there to make sure they got their second chance. Of course there’s gotta be some drama, they are professor/student though that was handled with a lot of maturity once they decided to go for it and it wasn’t made into too big a deal. It was life that really caused the most bumps and hiccups. Ordinary, every day problems. Jealousy, careers, distance, miscommunications. But these two at every step of the way pushed through, communicated and tried their best to find a solution that was best for both of them. At times I thought there was a bit of immaturity in how they both behaved but it was momentary before the other called them on it and they were able to act like grownups.
These two had a lot of passion and chemistry, they were the perfect match. They had cute, funny moments and lots of playfulness. They were so sweet I wouldn’t be surprised if I didn’t end up with a cavity. And they had lots of corny lines to each other, but it was the good corny. That I’m so in love and I’m all mushy corny that every couple experiences especially in the honeymoon period.
The side characters were great, I’d love to see them get their HEA’s. The writing was well done. It was a good, low angst, high sweet love story.
