Synopsis

In this sparkling romance, two professors with a complicated past get a second chance to prove history won't repeat itself.

Assistant professor Clara Fernsby is nothing if not driven. She’s wanted to teach history since she was fourteen, and she hasn’t let anything stand in her way―not even the love of her life. And it all paid off in the end, because she landed a well-paid position at a private liberal arts college fresh out of grad school, and this year, she’s finally up for tenure.

When Theodore Harrison is brought on for the fall semester as a visiting scholar, it’s an unexpected blast from Clara’s past. She hasn’t spoken to Teddy since rejecting him over a phone call ten years ago. Now that he’s here, she’s reminded of their time together at every turn: autumns spent at a sleepaway camp in the Blue Ridge Mountains, trading battered history books and burned CDs with the quiet, dark-haired boy she once fell in love with.

That boy might’ve been her best friend, but the man teaching HIST-322 is a total stranger―or so she thinks. As they spend evenings working on a shared project and brainstorming over drinks at a college bar, Clara realizes she’s at risk of falling all over again. Given their history, she knows there’s every chance he’s not interested. But history’s all down to interpretation, and this time around, she’s got no intentions of repeating it.

2.5 I'll never get that week back... I wanted to read this because it was a second chance romance which is one of my favorite tropes, the cover was beautiful, and I was in a mood for an academic-driven book. Sadly, I find the most interesting aspect of the book is the cover. Clara first meets Teddy a......more

Still not sure how to rate this one since it read more like contemporary fiction? Unfortunately the fall vibes were lacking, which I didn’t expect from the cover. I LOVED the first half way more than the second half!......more
