Really enjoyed the first half of the story. The characters are incredibly charming and the attraction feels genuine and realistic. It is a slow burn to when they finally get together and I was looking forward to them tackling the mountain of problems that their relationship would face, both having a fairly traumatic past that still affects them in the present, the fact they both teach/coach at the same high school, how and where they would build a life together, etc.

Unfortunately once they do finally get together, the narrative focuses more on the sex than anything else. Months fly by in an instant and you are left filling in the blanks. So much of the depth introduced in the beginning is never addressed again, or addressed insufficiently. It felt like the authors were in a rush to finish the story. All in all it is an enjoyable read, but it had way more potential.
