I really enjoyed this story. The romance and flirting were great, with chemistry off the charts and a lot of fun conversations. I loved how forward and persistent Tyler was, with an argument for everything. The whole student/teacher thing was also handled really well.
I smiled most of the way through.
However, there were editing issues (spelling, grammar, two people talking in the same paragraph) which I could have overlooked if not for the ending. I felt like the story was just getting started when it ended. The author made such great strides to make the build up romantic, fraught with tension and attraction, but the ending was just have sex and suddenly it makes everything alright.
For me, there was no real resolution. I wanted to see more; at least a few more chapters if not novel length. It felt like such a great build up for a really disappointing ending that made the previous romance feel cheapened by the resolution of sex.
