Miami, Florida – Present Day

Valerie Marquez and Andrew Wexler are kindergarten teachers at a private school in Miami, and they do not get along. Valerie is quirky and a free spirit, while Andrew prefers to teach his students like he’s a drill sergeant. At the end-of-the-school-year party, they both get drunk and end up having sex. It was good but no way would they admit that to the other. Valerie leaves to go to her summer volunteer job in Hati, but while she’s gone, the rooms where the kindergarten are is destroyed when an old tree falls on them. Space is limited, so Valerie and Andrew will have to teach together in one big room. They can’t stand each other, so how will that work out? Then Valerie begins to be tired all the time and has nausea. She realizes belatedly that she is pregnant. That one night with Andrew is all that it took, despite the use of a condom. 

LOVE LESSONS has it all. Enemies to lovers. Workplace romance. Grumpy men. Forced to work together. Now a baby may tie them together for a lifetime. After confirming she is pregnant, Valerie knows she has to let Andrew know. At this point, she isn’t sure she wants to be a mother because of how she was raised. He is shocked, of course, but tells her that he will stand by her. After deciding to keep the baby and keep the news a secret for at least a while, they grow closer as he helps her navigate morning sickness and not wanting to eat. Turns out that Andrew is the nurturing type. They still argue a lot, but they now look for solutions and not ways to annoy the other. 

Opposites don’t always attract but they do in the quirky and fun LOVE LESSONS by Sidney Halston. In fact, Valerie and Andrew end up complementing each other and it works. Their bantering works well in this tale. Readers will love their back and forth, even as their emotions go sky-high. Finding out they are about to become parents has to be a shock. How will the school react since there is likely a rule against teachers getting romantically involved with each other? Valerie’s pregnancy is not going smoothly but Andrew is ready to jump in to help her. Readers will suspect that falling in love with each other will soon be on the agenda. 

Readers who love a romance that is fun to read and leaves you with a smile on your face will surely enjoy LOVE LESSONS. Valerie and Andrew have great chemistry, and they keep you turning the pages to find out what happens next. Be sure to grab a copy today. You won’t be sorry.
