An enemies-to-lovers, opposites attract lesbian romance about daring to take a risk, even if it burns you.

Mattie Belman's life has gone from dismal to desperate. After the loss of her acting career, her marriage, and her usual optimism, she's back home teaching high school theater. Maybe it'll be a fresh start.

St. Rita's arrogant soccer coach Jillian Reed sees Mattie's musical as an outrageous distraction for her champion players. When Jillian declares war, Mattie is far too stubborn to back down.

But as Mattie discovers there might be more to Jillian than spectacle, fire, and ego, she gets dangerously close to her iron-willed colleague. Can she avoid temptation? Or will the growing flame in Jillian's dark eyes ignite them both?

Contains mature themes.

I absolutely loved this one.

More thoughtfully written than a lot of romance novels but with plenty of lighthearted moments too.

Enemies to lovers isn't usually my thing, but these two managed to spar without being cringy or unrealistic. Both protagonists were fully fleshed out despite being written from only one point of view.

I would call it instant attraction with emotional slow burn. The chemistry was electric from page 1, and the smut is excellent, 11/10, no notes.

Finally some middle aged sapphics!

Soccer coach and drama lit teachers collide in this multi layered story with tantalising twists.

Krystal's narration is perfectly pitched.

This is a triggering story of high school tensions and rivalries set against a Catholic school's morality code power play of breathtaking cruelty.

There are tense scenes and crackling dialogue that will have you replaying.

An excellent listen.

This wasn’t what I expected from the blurb. I thought this would be light hearted and funny with a ‘my subject is more important than yours’ focus. That wasn’t it at all.

This book offers an excellent commentary on the impact of religious beliefs on self perception and acceptance. Given this heavy topic, this book is highly entertaining and touching.

Impactful
