Drives Me Crazy

Lesson in Love

De: Tara September

Narrado por: Alan Stone, Sylvia Gonçalves

What happens when Miss Perfect meets Mr. Penalty?

He’s a rulebreaker with heart. She’s a rule follower with ambition. Can teaming up on a college service project abroad bring these two opponents together? Together, they might just rewrite each other’s playbooks.

VALERIE:

I’m wearing many hats my senior year at Thatcher College—Sorority president, Honor Code Review member, Beyond Borders Teaching Chair—and there are just six more months until graduation. All my careful planning is paying off, just like my parents and I knew it would. The one hiccup? Or maybe the solution? Enlisting, or rather coercing, the help of soccer player Diego Delarosa. And when I say player, I mean player. At least that’s what I’ve always thought—cocky, frustrating, infuriating … and possibly the exact kind of chaos I didn’t know I needed. Who knew a routine teaching trip would lead to an adventure of a lifetime?

DIEGO:

Soccer is my life. My future. My everything. No backup plan needed—especially not one designed by a bossy, high-achieving blonde with a folder for everything. But when I get caught skipping a class I technically passed, I’m sentenced to two weeks of community service in a small town in Mexico under the watchful eye of Valerie Perkins, a.k.a. Miss Perfect. She’s driven, intimidating, and way out of my league … and I can’t stop thinking about her. This was supposed to be a punishment. Turns out, it might be the best play I’ve ever made.

Welcome back to Thatcher College, where opposites attract and worlds collide. The Lesson in Love series features interconnected, new adult standalone romances set on a small, private college campus in New England where the good girl gets stuck with the bad boy, and she’s not happy about it. That is, until their chemistry together makes her question everything she thought she knew about him.

A Soccer Romance

I was entertained by this story. I enjoyed this tale which featured two characters who were opposites of one another as Valerie was driven by rules and lists, while Diego was easy going and more free-spirited. I thought there were some cute moments and fun times as Valerie and Diego learned to understand one another and stumbled down their path of love. I thought Alan Stone's and Sylvia Gonçalves' dual narrations enhanced the story's entertainment. I was given a copy of the audiobook. I volunteered, without financial gain, to post this review which reflected my honest opinions regarding this audiobook.
