Spring break is coming up and high school teacher Kade could not be more excited to spend the week with her girlfriend, Aiesha. The two haven't seen much of each other since their Valentine's trip thanks to their long distance relationship and generally busy lives, but this will give them the opportunity to spend the whole week together.
Will friends, surfing, and a few communication issues get in the way?
I am so confused about the author's note for this story. While I can understand her need to explain her choices for the book, it makes zero sense in context?
This book was absolutly amazing. It fullfilled all of my wholesome "awwww" needs and I can't get enough of how amazing, healthy and non-toxic this couple is. I'd like to inform you, that I started in the middle of the series and will now go back to get the prequels to this one, so expect to hear me fangirl about this couple again. But anyways, they have fantastic chemistry, are super cute, have great communication, speak about their feelings and are just so plain amazing. Cherry on top: Dogs. As a dog person, I was so happy to see accurate dog representation. HOWEVER! America, what the duck, America. In Europe, Germany to be precise, you HAVE to buckle your dog up in the backseat, if you want him/her to be sitting their and you HAVE to make sure, that they can't get to driver. If you don't have some kind of net, that seperates the drivers seat from the backseat you can and will be fined. You can also let the dog stay in the back of the car, but in that case you also need some kind of net for safty reasons. This is probably not a book thing, but rather an America thing and I just have to shake my head. Dog safty matters, America.
Anyways, now that I have all lectured you about german safty laws, I'd like to say that this was also an amazing - yeah, I've used 'amazing' like, 5 times already, but who's there to stop me :P - book represantation wise. My ace experience and Kade's ace experience is different and yet I could absolutly see a lot of myself in her as well. I felt very seen. The only thing that made me smile a little, was her thought process when it came to sex. Just because you enjoy sex doesn't mean you're less ace or have to be demi/grey - no hate to demi/grey people, that's not the point. The point is, that you're feelings towards sex, don't determine how you have to identify. Still a great book.
All in all, this was very cute, very fluff, very wholesome and I absolutly loved every second of it.
A holiday can open up so much for a relationship and this 2nd one is just needed time together.
Aiesha and Kade take a spring trip that gives them a long week to share. I love how they each want the other to have the time to enjoy the action that they enjoy. Their time together adds to that joy. The book listening on the trip is just wonderful. The most special gift though is how they communicate even when it's tough. Kade's friend Taylor shares time and just adds to the vacation. Love this couple and their story. Relationshipslike this are just so fun and great to read.
I really like Kade/Aiesha's jourtney, but what takes the cake to me is the SoL aspect of it. I mean, I love how we get to see them doing every-day things, from lounging around to doing outdoorsy activities. I love to see their bonding getting stronger and to watch Kade freaking out overthinking about silly stuff hahah, it's funny.
As Kade and Aiesha's relationship grows, Kade begins to discover more about her sexuality. Aiesha's patience and understanding, their growing affection, and the captivating scenery help to make this an enjoyable read.
This is my first Sage Donnell book. If you can overlook the typos then you will enjoy this quickie. Two teachers who are in a relationship go on a relaxing spring break together and take one more step in their relationship.
