Briskin Billionaire Brothers #3
Teacher I Want to Date
Dear Very Hot Crazy Woman,
You didn’t have to call the cops on me.
I was just looking after my niece.
Okay… maybe I shouldn't have been spying on her date. But I know how teenage boys think and what they want.
Did it make you feel good scolding me in front of everyone for just being a good uncle?
Because damn, you sure looked good doing it.
I’m almost positive you were cussing me out and if I understood a lick of Spanish, I’d haveshut you up with a kiss told you exactly what I thought about your meddling, even if you are her teacher.
In fact, I’d like to schedule adate over dinner and wine parent teacher conference to discuss our differing views on raising the youth of today so we are on the same page when we have children—preferably together
.

This is the first book of Mia Kayla’s I have read and I fell in love with the two main characters Gabby and Mason. They are the complete opposites but that’s what makes them so adorable together. The tit for tat disagreement had me laughing especially when Gabby called the police on Mason while he was spying on his niece. I loved how involved they both were with their families and how grounded they both were. I honestly couldn’t put this down. I laughed, cried then smiled In contentment by the end. I received this as an arc to give an honest opinion and all I can say I would read any Mia Kayla book based on this beautiful love story and I would read it again.

From the moment I read the synopsis for Teacher I Want to Date, I knew I had to read this book. Thanks Wildfire Marketing Solutions for the opportunity to read and review this book.
I had loads of fun reading this book. I laughed for most of it. There were a few teary eyed and steamy moments, which, were strategically placed, resulting in a balanced read.
The characters were such a hoot. Their actions had me grinning from ear to ear. Mason and Gabby were complete opposites, but were perfect for each other. Imagine a straight-laced, health nut and a neat freak who lacks spontaneity with someone who is spontaneous, outgoing and loves chaos. You are probably saying there goes a recipe for disaster, but these two made it work. I liked their initial meeting, which was hilarious. That scene will remain with me for a long time.
As much as I enjoyed the humour, I was glad to see that the story was built on more. The romance was cute even though I found its development fast for my tastes. Mason and Gabby are both recovering from a breakup, with Gabby’s own being the most painful. Her choice in men was questionable, so you can imagine she had trust issues, which proved a hindrance in their budding relationship. In addition, Mason had his own share of issues, which threatened to end what he had with Gabby.
I enjoyed the family dynamics featured in the story. Gabby had a large family compared to Mason. Despite the difference in the size of their families, their interactions were loving, loyal, protective and jovial.
Conclusion / Recommendation
Overall, I found the story to be fun and cute. This book works well as a stand-alone, but I would love to read the stories for Mason’s brothers. If you enjoy romantic comedy, you may want to pick up Teacher I Want to Date.

I've been waiting to read this eversince it was announced that Mason was getting his own book...
Mia has always been one of my favorite authors. Her books are like comfort-food to me. Cheers me up whenever I'm in a funk. My favorite is Marry Me For Money and Everything Has Changed are my faves.
I love Brad... I love him and Sonia but Mason... well Mason, I can relate. He's straight-laced, goody-goody and by the book kinda' guy... I'm very close to my nephew and niece, and to tell you frankly I'll probably I'll probably do what he did... very overprotective of his loved-ones...
And Gabby... well she's funny but a tad bit indecisive. She was frustrating but I can't blame her. She's been through some pretty devastating times in her life...
I enjoyed the story... it flowed seamlessly... the characters were funny, relatable and captivating. I'm having a book hungover right now, lol!

This book is about two people who not very recently, went through a rough breakup.
Mason, broke up with his long time college girlfriend because he fell out of love with her.
Gabriella, dumped her boyfriend because he was lying to her.
Mason is a very anal guy. He is one of those people with OCD issues. He plans out everything, very strict about his health and also very possessive of the people close to him. Such as his niece Sarah. Who he went undercover for and followed her to the mall while she hung out with some of her friends. And when he took out his phone to take their pictures, someone grabbed his phone and called him a pedaphill, and that was non other than our MG Gabriella who is also Sarah’s teacher.
And from there Mason’s obsession towards Gabriella begins. He goes to meet her after school, volunteers at Sarah’s dance and his stalking also led him into speed dating restaurant, where Gabriella was participating with her sister.
His stalker obsession ways were cute until their first date got over. Then he just sounded crazy.
She’d left my place, telling me that she needed to go home, see her mama, see her sisters. I had asked her if I could come with, but she’d snickered as though I was kidding. I was not. She didn’t know me well enough to know that I didn’t kid often.
This was after their firsts date, obviously they slept together and obviously Gabriella isn’t the kind of girl to have a one night stand or sleep with someone after their first date.
And obviously since Mason plans everything out, he has a five dates rule before sleeping with someone. But when your super horny and attracted to someone who cares right?
They start dating, Gabriella doesn’t want to put a label atm she wants to take is slow but Mason being persistent every week asks her about their status, until finally after 3 weeks of seeing each other she calls herself Mason’s GF. And then everything is perfect they both exchange I love you’s
And then the ex drama.
The end.

Okay, so I didn’t exactly dislike this story, and I was entertained, but not in any wow kind of way. Maybe I read too much LOL but this felt very familiar to me, which obviously is where the non wow factor comes in. UGH, I don't know what to tell you guys because I never really give plot points in my reviews so ...... I didn't dislike it will have to do LOL

Last book in the series and it's Mason and Gabby's story... Mason is my least favorite brother of all three... He is quite neurotic, even if he is sweet, not very likeable for me. Gabby was loud and at some point she got on my nerves but their story was romantic and overall a nice one.
March 15, 2020
A well written, light fun read. Just what I was looking for.
I read it in one sitting, no joke.
I laugh so much by myself my husband thought I was finally going crazy.
This book has so many endearing side characters that I can't pinpoint my favorite. And the main couple is so adorable together.
Mason is not our usual hero. He's the neat freak guy, the worried one, the guy who's sweating at the brows just for being in the spot light. He's the accountant guy lol he's so not the alpha male type. But he's character was a breath of fresh air and so freaking adorable. He's REAL. I LOVE him to pieces.
I laugh SO MUCH with him trying to learn how to dance lol Jesus! The club scene is for sure the best one, hands down.
And Gabby is so cute. I love her also. I could totally relate with her falling in love with Mason.
I loved everything about this book.
So much so that I'm already reading Brad and Sonia's book. That guy is hilarious!
How come I didn't know this author before? I'm disappointed with myself lol

“One and two, back. Three and four, back and back. Hips shake and feet again and then pull her back into me.
She frowned up at me. “Are you counting out loud?”
“Yeah!” I yelled above the music.
I smiled, and she smiled bigger, all teeth.
Yeah, I am rocking this dancing stuff.
So much so that everyone around me stopped to check out my moves. They actually stopped and stared.
Yeah, baby. YouTube for the win.”

I hate when books are not put into series. You go into a book thinking it’s a standalone.... when in fact their are other books before this one. Boss I Love to Hate Is Brad's book. One of the brothers.
I noticed Right away something was up. I felt like I was jumping into the middle of a movie that had already started. I hate that feeling.
My first impression of Gabby in this book wasn’t all that great. The whole calling Mason a pedophile was off putting and way over the top. I think it was meant to be funny. But, I didn’t find it funny.
And
The way Mason was acting was really weird. He was constantly overstepping when it can to Sarah his niece. I didn't like that. Maybe I wouldn’t feel this way about him had I read the first book Boss I Love To Hate.
Because things seem to revolve around Mason’s other brother Charles (he doesn’t have a book yet). It’s his daughters that Mason and Brad have a close relationship with.
This Book had it’s funny moments. The first date dancing part was funny. But the drama with Gabby at the club was frustrating. She let someone throw a drink at her and didn’t say anything. Because she felt she couldn’t say anything. It was aggravating.
It was hard for me to fully enjoy this book. It wasn’t bad. But... it wasn’t my cup of tea.

4 1/2 STARS FOR TEACHER I WANT TO DATE!! Wow, this was a great read and kept me turning pages. Mason and Gabby were fun to watch their story play out. Their story hit all my emotion buttons all the way through. I highly recommend this book.
February 17, 2020
I had high hopes for this book but it fell a little short for me.
I liked Mason from the beginning but I felt like I was missing information about him. I love a man who is close to his family but he was a bit over the top with his nieces.
I couldn’t connect with Gabby. I felt she was overly stereotypical and oddly protective of her students.
I loved the little kid as she was hilarious.

I have to agree with a previous reviewer that said this book didn't actually WOW me. I seriously enjoyed the story though, but there was nothing out of the ordinary.
I loved Mason's protectiveness towards his nieces. And I loved that when he messed up with his niece he wanted to do everything in his power to rectify it.
The meeting between Gabby and Mason was freaking hilarious, that I really LOL. Some parts I did feel that Mason was coming on a bit too strong, but then again it worked for him and it worked for getting Gabby to notice him.
I loved that they shared a intense chemistry and that when things got a bit hard he didn't give up and kept on fighting for their relationship.
I just wanted a bit more action, more drama. But that's just me and lots of other people loved the story, I just felt it was missing something more!

The blurb had me laughing and I knew I needed to read it. I was able to relate with Gabby and Mason since I'm Hispanic and my husband being Caucasian and the difference in cultures. Though the one thing all cultures have in common is LOVE!
Gabby was skeptical in allowing Mason in her life due to what happened to her family when she was young. Thankfully her mother was there to help her reason and to tell her that she needed to leave the past in the past and to allow herself to trust, love and be loved. It made me think of my mom and what she would tell me as well.
Mason was wanting more in life than what Janice was wanting to give him. He wanted true love, a family like his brothers had. Little did he realize that spying in his niece would bring him to his future and possibly his HEA. Mason and Gabby had me constantly laughing and at the same time it had me wanting to slap some sense to Mason and taking down dirty Janice!!
Mason & Gabby's story was funny, sweet and low drama-sort of. Kara~4 Stars

Gabby & Mason know what it's like to be burned. That's why each is wary of a relationship. Their fierce attraction just may prove too strong for them to keep their hands off each other, though.
I love Teacher I Want to Date. It's different in tone than a lot of teacher romances, and Mason is quite swoony. The contrast between him and Gabby is fun to read, and I just enjoyed everything about their story.

5 Star Review Teacher I Want To Date by Mia Kayla
Mia Kayla is a new author to me and I have no idea why that is and when time permits I will be looking at her other books. This is a well written book that drew me in and kept me entertained from the first to the last chapter.
I fell hard and fast for over protective uncle Mason Brisken. He is organized, a trait I happen to love, caring and his love for his family is heart warming, he ticks the boxes for me. Gabby Cruz is a teacher I would have loved to have. She is fun, feisty, sassy and such a great character that you cannot help but relate too.
Having recently been badly betrayed by her ex Mike, Gabby is still reeling. A misunderstanding between Mason and Gabby leads to an interesting confrontation as well as the police.
Both Mason and Gabby have been badly burned by past relationships and Gabby, in particular is unsure whether she is ready to try a new relationship.
The chemistry between Mason and Gabby is intense, the connection between them obvious. There were a great deal of laugh out loud moments that certainly got me some funny looks from my fellow commuters.
Told in multiple POV's you cannot help but become invested in the story that Mia Kayla wove. Can Gabby and Mason put their pasts behind them and move on? Can Mason convince Gabby to take a chance on love and in turn find the happiness that they both deserve? Or will their chance at happiness and a relationship be destroyed before it can begin?
These two connected on so many levels it was just awesome to read about. Together they are an explosive couple and I felt as though the pages would combust with the heat scorching off them.
If you are looking for a book that is hot, spicy, romantic and humorous, then look no further.

This love story by Mia Kayla was like millions of others. Opposites personalities, steamy content, family life, poor and rich, and everybody was good people. I don't deny it, I smiled a few times, there were funny scenes. But I started to forget the book before I even finished it.
I think that Mia Kayla is good at writing about "triangles", when I am not sure, almost to the end, who will "get" a heroine, and where there is not a bad and a good guy, just two guys. Like in Marry Me for Money and Torn Between Two.

This book is a big 5 stars read for me. I really fell in love with the characters. Must say that Mason is my favorite!
I loved the smooth writing, I could read it hours and hours and not getting bored.
Thank you Mia, for this lovely Brisken duo!

Teacher I want to Date by Mia Kayla is a lighthearted story of a teacher and a student's uncle. Their meet cute is so awkward! Gabby and Mason (and their families) brings some deep moments along with lots of crazy times.
Gabby and Mason both have tight knit families. Mason is very involved in his niece's life and seeing her grow up really hits him hard. I was cringing at his invasion into her life (her own father wasn't going that far). Gabby has a better understanding of teens (as teachers usually do) and really tries to explain to Mason how to better relate to his niece. Mason realizes quickly he is very attracted to Gabby.
Mason is a number cruncher who plans every move. He is never spontaneous so he struggles with his spontaneity regarding Gabby. Conversely, Gabby is much more impulsive. These two are a solid foil for each other and their budding relationship is cute. They both have a recent history of a BAD relationship, so they are cautious. Personally, I wish the ex drama wasn't so pervasive. Mason wants a family and a wife. It was endearing since so many books feature a man whore hero.
There are plenty of laughs throughout the story that keeps everything upbeat! If you are looking for a fairly quick read featuring characters with lots of close family ties, Teacher I Want to Date is a solid pick!

This was such a fun read!
Teacher I Want to Date is the follow up to Boss I Love to Hate and focuses on the youngest Brisken brother, Mason. (Don't worry, if you haven't read Boss, this really is a stand alone)
Mason is a unique hero - he's a little OCD and anal about certain things and very protective when it comes to his family. He has a couple of cringe worthy moments, but they just make him that much more relatable because they show that his priorities are taking care of the people he loves.
Mason's love interest in the book, Gabby, is a teacher at his niece's school. This (paired with over protective Mason) sets up one of the funniest and most awkward meet cutes I think I've ever seen. Gabby is a character that I liked. She comes with her own baggage, but I liked how she was willing to put herself out there again.
Gabby and Mason have a story that is truly entertaining and sweet. They are a case of opposites attracting and bringing the best out in each other - even though their road wasn't always smooth. Ms Kayla did and excellent job of showing us how Gabby helped Mason loosen up just a little and how he helped Gabby feel safe and taken care of.
The secondary cast of Teacher I Want to Date is relatively small, primarily featuring both Mason and Gabby's families. Some of the best scenes include these family members and I loved how some of the best advice comes from the youngest characters. After reading both Boss I Love to Hate and Teacher I Want to Date, I hope Ms Kayla goes back and tells us the story behind Charles (the oldest Brisken brother) finding his happily ever after.

This is my first book by Mia Kayla and most certainly won't be my last. I was in need of something fun and entertaining to read and Teacher I Want to Date was just that for me. Mason stole my heart from the beginning. He was so innocent and sweet and swoony. Boy, did I swoon for this man and his brother? Well... I'm completely in love with them both.
Mason may be sweet, but it often gets him into trouble in the funniest ways.. Mason wants a family, children and all the things that come along with it and he thought he was going to have that with his ex's but not because she's his ex.
Gabby is strong-willed, shes very much independent and just went through heartache/break and isn't ready to climb back on that horse again. She just wants to focus on her job as a teacher and get on with her life and for the most part, she is doing that.
Gabby is Mason's niece's teacher and the way they meet will have you in stitches... From the beginning, you can see these two were meant to be together... The attraction and chemistry between these two are insane and so undeniable.
All in all, this was a fun read, it was swoony, and had my heart fluttering. It had just the right amount of heat, chemistry, and swooniness with some good laughs throughout. I couldn't put it down and I can't wait to discover more of Ms. Kayla's books!
5 Stars!

FTC DISCLAIMER: I RECEIVED AN E-ARC FROM THE PUBLISHER THROUGH ONE OF A VARIETY OF SOURCES. I VOLUNTARILY OFFER MY HONEST REVIEW OF THE BOOK, THOUGH IT IS NOT EXPECTED OF ME! RECEIPT OF THIS BOOK IN THIS MANNER DOES NOT AFFECT MY OPINION OF THE BOOK OR THE CONTENT OF MY REVIEW!
I've never read anything by this author before, so I wasn't really sure what to expect from this book. It was decent enough, but also not that great either, more like a 2.5 star read that wasn't bad enough to round down to a 2. I think this is a case where the reader doesn't fit the book.
First and foremost, I felt like I was dropped into the middle of a series, despite there being no indication that this was one. I pushed through reading it, but it kept nagging me, and imagine my surprise when I look up the author to find that, indeed, this is part of a series! Brad's book came first, and I find it very deceptive that it's not better listed anywhere on the book's purchase pages. The book automatically loses a star for that alone.
Once I was able to muscle past that issue, the story just didn't hold my interest. I had a hard time connecting with either Mason or Gabby. I never felt like we got too in depth with either of them. The plot itself felt convoluted with all the ex-whatevers and their drama, and it seemed to hamper the romance between Gabby and Mason at nearly every turn, because one of them was constantly doing something to derail things! It was too much angst and drama for this reader.
All things considered, I would not go back and read the previous book in the "series", nor would I read any other book by the author, simply because of the drama factor. The story had real potential to be an extremely amusing romance, but it just fell flat for me.

I received a complimentary ARC - early release copy of this book in Kindle format from the author for review purposes.
This is book 2 in a series and it was awesome. It does sorta stand alone. Its all new characters but we do get to see the romance from the first book between Brad and Sophia as well. So I do recommend you read this book after that story.
This is Mason's story and he is Brad's younger and smarter and less cool brother but he is a total laugh riot and is a bit crazy but in the adorable and cutest way possible and well gabby does not stand a chance of resisting him. I have not laughed this hard in a book for years.
Gabby is just out of relationship where she discovered he was married with kids. So she is very nervous to date anyone. She meets Mason in the best way and they have the cutest story to tell and everyone loves telling the story over and over again to torture Mason.
While Gabby really enjoys Mason's antics, she feels very broken from being the other woman. Mason sees her and falls into instalust/love but realizes she needs to get to know him. He is the most romantic guy I have ever read about. So Gabby really never stands a chance but it was a lot of fun watching her try.
if you love romance and laughs in your romance this is an absolutely wonderfully written romance with lots of shenanigans and laughter.

Teacher I Want To Date by Mia Kayla
I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of Teacher I Want To Date, and for that I’m very grateful. Release Date is 13/02/2020!
“It won’t be like this forever. It’s just a stage. A not-so-fun stage.”
A nerdy control freak and a firey Independent woman, what could go wrong! I absolutely loved this book. It shows that opposite do really attract. I love the chemistry between these characters and how it’s shows even if your family is a little different, your still a family no matter what.
Mason, he’s our nerdy, strong, germophobic control freak. The relationship Mason shares with his family is beautiful, especially the one he shares with his niece. But does he take being the over protective uncle to the next level, yes. Specially when a strange lady at the pizza place calls the cops on him for spying.
Gabby is your sweet little school teacher by day and the she’s your firey salsa dancing women by night. She’s very clear she with all of her family, even her extended family. So when she breaks up with her ex, she’s a little closed off with how she’s feeling and try’s to lock down her heart. Little does she know, that the guy she call the cops on for being a stalker, might just be able to help her with her problem.
I loved loved loved this book, it was very well written and I’m looking forward to reading more from Mia.

Enemies to lovers, steam alert romance
This book was awesome. If I could give more stars I would, 5 is just not enough.
It’s a follow up book from The Boss I Love To Hate, but it’s so different, it’s hard to compare the 2 so I won’t. This most definitely can be read as a stand-alone.
You will love this one for the book it is. The characters are amazing, right down to the cute and adorable Mary, who will have you giggling at her antics. I dare you not to giggle because it’s not possible, I promise.
Mason is just too nice for his own good and it bites him on the butt more than once, maybe he will learn and maybe he won’t 😉. But what I can say about this adorable guy is that when he fell for Gabby, he fell hard. He goes to extraordinary measures to show her just how much he loves her, and I fell for him a little myself.
Mason has his work cut out for him though as Gabby has been hurt and badly and she’s not sure if she can let anyone in no matter how much she cares.
Will they get the HEA they deserve or will they miss out on this once in a life time love.
Just read this book, you will not be disappointed
I received this as a complimentary copy and I am giving my honest review voluntarily

4.5 Stars for Teacher I Want To Date
Mia Kayla is a new author to me and after reading this book I’m struggling to understand why she hasn’t crossed my radar before now and I can assure you I will be looking at her other books as soon as I get some time. I haven’t read any previous books featuring the Brisken brothers so I’m really the proof that this book can’t be read as a stand-alone because for me I didn’t need the history to enjoy this entertaining fun read. I loved Mason Brisken he is everything I want in a man, protective of his niece and so caring and loyal for his family, all traits I love and what can I say about Gabby Cruz apart from who wouldn’t want this fun, strong and sassy teacher to teach their children. This couple have both been burnt with relationships in the past and are really not sure they are ready to take a leap of faith into a new one, the chemistry they share is intense but it’s the feelings and the banter they share that really proves to hard to resist for both of them.
This book was a fun, entertaining read that ticked all my boxes, I laughed, I giggled and I was left smiling like a Cheshire Cat so if you are looking for a fun entertaining read look no further than Teacher I Want to Date I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.

Teacher I Want To Date, was my first time reading Mia Kayla’s work and it’ safe to say it will not be my last. Not only was this title very well written, but it was incredibly engaging and fun. Mason and Gabby’s story is quite heartfelt, but also humorous and a strong theme of family flows throughout this opposites attract romance.
Mason is an intelligent, straight-laced hero, who has a huge heart. He’s loyal, loving and honest, and a has a tendency to be a tad awkward. He loves his family unconditionally particularly his nieces, and can be a tad over protective and over bearing when it comes to their safety.
Gabby is independent, strong willed, feisty, sassy and outgoing. She has a tendency to be quite indecisive after the betrayal of her ex, and although it was a tad frustrating at times, it was also quite understandable after everything she has experienced.
This definitely will not be my last read by Mia Kayla and I highly recommend Teacher I Want to Date if you are looking for a heartfelt and humorous romance.

Oh the laughs I've had reading this book. Mason you are an adorable, sweetheart. You're actions are so innocent with your huge heart but boy, do you get yourself in some trouble!
That sums up Mason a little. If you've read Boss I Love To Hate by Mia Kayla then you may remember meeting Mason as Brad's younger brother, if not be ready to fall for both of these guys in this story.
Mason is a wholesome family man, all he wants is what he's set for his life goals for years. He wants to find a partner to spend the rest of his life with and grow a family, but his now ex isn't that woman.
Gabby, having recently been heartbroken isn't ready for live just yet. Being headstrong as a teacher to Mason's niece, Sarah, and a beautiful dancer, she isn't in need of anyone in her life right now.
Gabby and Mason meet in the funniest of circumstances. Seriously I won't spoil it but there may be a police phone call involved.
I adored their commitment to their families and how both of them love without abandon, more so Mason. He stole the show, by just being a genuine softy and showing himself fully to Gabby.
There starting wasn't perfect but with their undeniable attraction it was easy for them to fall into one anothers arms.
This story will have you dying for more with every page as you experience heartbreak, laughs, family cuteness and love between two soulmates.

4.5 of 5 Hearts
This is the follow-up novel to Boss I love to Hate and it did not disappoint. It can be read as a standalone. You will have no problem navigating the characters in this book if you have not read Boss I Love to Hate. I do recommend the first book because you will fall in love with the characters in that book as well.
Teacher I Want to Date sucked me in from the moment I started reading and did not let me go until that very last line. I was addicted and craved the storyline and the characters. These are two people from two different worlds who fall for one another and meld their worlds together.
This book had me in stitches so many times I was wiping my tears and snorting at the same time. Then two seconds later I was swooning at Mason Brisken and Gabby Cruz.
Mason Brisken takes the overprotective uncle to a whole new level when it comes to his niece Sarah. You cannot help but shake your head at the man in disagreement on the moment and then nod in agreement the next. What you can agree on is the saucy teacher Gabby Cruz to always set him straight.
This book is filled with tons of supporting cast that you will fall in love with from Mason's family to Gabby's large family you cannot get enough of.
One-Click this bad boy and fall in love with Mason and Gabby.
