Benchmarks Book #1

Kindle e-book

Author: Kate Canterbary

Tara Treloff and Drew Larsen really hate each other. So much so that the principal of the school where they work sends them off to a conference with the orders to get their crap together. After all, they share a title and an office at the school. Grow up or else.

They’ll try. After all, they want to keep the jobs they love. Too bad it’s right before the holidays, a blizzard is coming and… yup, you guessed it, they’re stuck with only one bed. 

This novella is set in the Bayside school run by Lauren Halstead-Walsh from the Walsh series, so we get to see her again. Drew is so obviously, deliriously, completely bewitched by Tara that he resorts to playground tactics of metaphorically pulling at her pigtails to keep his sanity, Tara is no pushover and gives it back in equal manner! I wonder if Lauren didn’t send them off on this trip on purpose…

A pining hero, a heroine who’s sunshine and rainbows but who won’t take crap from no one and a blizzard. Perfect recipe for swoony hero times and some good spice! 

Note: If you read In A Jam, Shay is also mentioned here as she is a kindergarten teacher at Bayside. I love those little crossovers! 

4.5/5
