Seriously! Love this series. It’s always so much fun and such joy to read. On this note, this novella was slightly different, but just as charming!
Searching for Mine features Kennedy’s boyfriend Nate’s brother. Connor Dunkle is a construction worker aiming for a management position. In order to achieve his goal he has to have a college degree, so Connor, an overachiever, crams four years of college into two and has one course left to pass and graduate.
Ella Blake is Connor’s profession in his Literature class. Ella’s not making life easier on her students, least of which Connor. She hates his view on women and the shallow work he’s submitting. She’s also not the most put together woman he’s ever met.
When Connor discovers Ella is his neighbor and her son is the one who slashed his tire, they’re slowly growing close and the lines between friends and teacher/student begin to blur.
I loved the way the slowly fall in love, even when they – mostly Connor – don’t really realize it. And I love how Connor makes it all right in the end.
What’s special about this one, from the rest of the titles in this series is that our couple didn’t meet through Kinnections, through the agency did play a part in moving the romance along. A simple and clever move from Probst.
This is definitely a feel good book with just the right balance of real life struggle and fairytale romance.
