Lizzie Tarleton has always done things her own way—including the time at the tender age of thirteen when she confessed to her brother’s best friend she loved him. But now she’s a new teacher at the local high school, and independent enough to know that you can’t force love. She’ll find love when the time is right—even though her parents are adamant the time is now. The only downfall to her idyllic life is the fact that her childhood crush—who broke her heart—is now her boss. If only she could stop daydreaming about him.

Wayne Whitmore grew up on the wrong side of the tracks and worked hard to get where he’s at in life. Even though he enjoys being principal at the small town high school, he dreams of coaching baseball. When his best friend asks him to watch over his little sister at her new job at Wayne’s school, he agrees. What he doesn’t count on is how she’s grown from the pig tailed kid who told him she loved him, to the woman who breaks his concentration with her beauty and smile. Unable to get over his fascination, and afraid he’ll ruin his friend’s trust, Wayne applies for his dream job—one that will take him far away.



One night while decorating the school gymnasium for an upcoming sock hop, Lizzie and Wayne find themselves alone. They share a kiss and Lizzie realizes her childhood crush for Wayne has never died. Wayne decides he doesn’t want to let Lizzie get away.



Can they come to terms with their secret love and then overcome the other secrets they are hiding in order to get what they each want? Or is their timing for love still off?

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

First of all, I had no idea until the end that I had read and reviewed a contemporary romance book by this author. This is so different from her other books that I truly did not see the similarity. The brevity of this book does not detract from the beauty, fun, and delicious romance embedded in its pages. This was the absolute perfect time period (I often believe that I have been placed in the wrong time period due to my dislike of much pop culture). I know the 1950’s quite well, and it was a delight to read a clean romance between a principal and teacher (ideal since I am a teacher). At times, the story came off as being a bit cheesy, but that fit the story immeasurably well. I almost could not stop smiling from start to finish. There is some mild language issues, but I can hardly recall them. If you are looking for a quick, clean romance, this is the book for you!

I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I was not financially compensated, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.
