Hot for Teacher – Shakespeare Made Us Fall in Love by Felicia Carparelli
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

3 Stars

Hot For Teacher- Shakespeare Made Us Fall in Love by Felicia Carparelli is a contemporary age-gap romance with a student/teacher element, more mature characters, second chances, finding love unexpectedly, taking a chance on love, humour, banter, opposites attract, and comes with a duel POV.
This was a ‘cute’ story, but I really wanted to love it much more than I did… and I’m not entirely sure why I didn’t invest in these characters and their story as much as I would have liked. As I said, it was cute n’ sweet- with an original take on the whole age gap/student-teacher trope, but I found it slow to get going and felt like it dragged in places, which resulted in ‘pulling’ me out of the story. And even though I quite ‘liked’ the characters, I didn’t connect with them like I hoped. I would have liked a little more drama, tension, and/or intensity to really put some ‘meat’ on the story’s bones to really grab my attention…. But it was not to be, so I have decided to revisit this book again in a few weeks and see if I still feel the same way, or if, perhaps, I was just having an ‘off’ reading day (confession- I had a bad dose of the flu at the time of reading, so perhaps that played a part in it all).
I am interested in reading more of this author’s work in the future to see what else she can do.
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Felicia Carparelli!
