The first time we met was at a party.
Your ex arrived to show off the person he'd left you for last month, and you asked me to pretend to be your date.
I was more than happy to help. You were attractive, smart and witty--and that kiss we shared? It left me wanting you for days.
The second time we met was in my office on campus where we were both surprised to discover you were the new master’s degree student in poetry that I would be working with. You promised to be professional. I did no such thing.
The late nights and intense study sessions spent alongside you majorly throw me off my game. I want you, and I fight with myself daily over this fact.
I know I'm crass, that my sexual innuendos and dirty mouth annoy you, but I live for those two bright spots of color in your cheeks. If that's the only reaction I can get out of you, I'll gladly take it.
You hate Mondays so every Monday I slip an anonymous poem into your bag and your smile gets me through the week.
I think I'm falling for you, and I know it's wrong. I know that I'm only supposed to be your adviser and nothing more, but here's the thing. I think you're falling for me too.
xo, Zach

Oh my, this was such a sweet read!
I’ve been in the mood for sweet lately and this fit the bill exactly (with a side of spicy too).
Poppy and Zach are both easy characters to like and root for as they try to figure life out. I love that Ms Ryan wrote Poppy as a strong female character who put her child first. I truly enjoyed watching her figure out that putting her son first could also mean having the right man in her life.
Zach is the type of Everyman hero that I would want my daughter to find one day. He pursues, but respects boundaries, and finally tells Poppy what he really wants.
Ms Ryan walked the fine line of just enough push and pull between Poppy and Zach that the reader feels the tension between them, but not so much they get annoying.
This was definitely a fun read that has me wanting to read more of the author’s work.
