These titles are fun and easy reads. During the pandemic it's nice to be able to live in a romantic fantasy.

Teacher Amelia Ashford loves her job and especially has a bond with her student Cameron. She is totally estranged from her parents having a genius IQ her parents and was disowned for becoming a teacher. More on that story as you read it. Santos Anastakos life is about to change and it's something his billions can't fix for him. He has a son Cameron who he only found out existed when the boys mother dies and names him in her will. Complications he doesn't know how to deal with as he doesn't do love. So he asks Amelia since she has feelings for the boy if she will come during school break to Greece and help Cameron and him adjust to each other. What you need to know is Ms. Connelly is one of the greatest writers ever and you will be off to an amazing story of two people finding a way to reach the boy. she's a virgin wants him to be her first , only problem he doesn't do love after watching his father marry and get divorced 8 times. another amazing story .

Amelia goes with Cameron to Greece to be there for the child. Sparks fly between the Santos and Amelia but Santos doesn't believe in love or anything but a good time. But he maybe changing after being wit Amelia. I have been reading Harlequin books for years and years so they are always my favorite type of romance books.

Unfortunately, I had a hard time reading this book. It just didn’t keep my attention. Maybe some of you will enjoy this one but it just wasn’t for me .

This turned out to be just an OK read for me. I thought the writing was good but I can't say I was much of a fan of either character. The overall plot concept I liked but when everything came together, this book just didn't click with me.

To the dismay of her parents Amelia turned her back on what they wanted for her future and pursued her love of teaching. When Cameron, one of her students, mother passed away his life his life was turned upside down as he is not only adjusting to the loss of his mother, living with the father he doesn’t know but also facing the prospect of moving from everything he has known in England to Greece. Amelia’s decision to convince his father to change his mind takes a turn when she finds herself going to Greece to help with the transition.

Seeing first hand through his father that love and forever don’t mix Santos is determined that he will not follow down that path. Finding out that he has a son that he didn’t know about from a woman he spent one weekend with is a surprise he didn’t see coming and he isn’t sure how to build a relationship with him until Amelia enters the picture.

Amelia has always shared a special relationship with Cameron but now she is starting to develop feelings for Santos. Amelia and Santos both agreed that their relationship would be casual but when feelings become involved neither of their lives will ever be the same.

Essentially this is a billionaire playboy and the innocent but brainy virgin child’s teacher romance The story is that a few months ago billionaire Santos Anastakos discovered that someone he’d had a two night stand with gave birth to his son, Cameron, six years ago. He found out when he was named in her will and, in effect, inherited his son who he’d never known about until then. He’s struggling to develop a relationship with the child but has endeavoured to keep some things the same for him – such as keeping him in his original school until the summer holidays. One of the teachers from the school is Amelia Ashford. She visits Santos at his home because she’s concerned about the impact the proposed move to Santos’s home in Greece will have on the grieving child. He convinces her to go with them to help Cameron settle in……

This was an okay romance, at no point did I consider not finishing it but some aspects quite irritated me but I’m sure won’t affect others! Whilst Cameron is the reason for their getting together he doesn’t have a significant part in (m)any scenes in the story. There are errors in the portrayal of the English education system – no way does a six year old attend a comprehensive school (they’re for students aged over 11 years of age). No teacher would go to visit parents after the child is in bed without first having made an appointment to do so – and she’s supposed to be a genius!! etc, etc! As I said, it kind of irritated me but they’re niggles that most others may just ignore so don’t let me put you off. It has a nice finale!

I requested and was gifted a copy of this via NetGalley and this is (obviously) my honest review after choosing to read it.

Santos is a take charge kinda guy. He isn't used to being told what got do. When a cute, young, blond steps into his world telling him how to take care of his son he doesn't take it well. He pushes back, but she does't back down. Amelia is a genius that has been passed from one home to another as she has grown up. Relationships are not something she is familiar with. Boy is she in for a wild ride.
