This was an exciting read that I couldn't put down. Cash was so sweet and charming. He seems like a genuinely good guy just trying to do what makes him happy. Stone was kind and thoughtful (toward Cash) and his dominating personality blended well with Cash's laid back one. I love a second chance and this was such a great one. I don't love cheating, but I understand it in the context of this book. I enjoyed seeing the two fall in love and I felt like it was so real. They just couldn't keep denying each other and had to have each other. I felt the urgency when they finally got together, which made their relationship seem more legit and solid. Then,

Cash moving to Texas and reunited with Stone...

I was screaming even though I knew that was the premise of the story. I loved seeing Stone explain himself and make it up to Cash. It wasn't an easy forgiveness, which was so warranted. Stone needed to make up for what he did and I felt like he really did that.

The little coffees were so sweet and Stone not sleeping with anyone since Cash was endearing.

. Overall, a great read.

Notes: 2.5/5 spice levels, second chance, professor/student, coworkers, professors, cheating (not between the MCs), age gap, forbidden, great pet (houston the hairless cat), forgiveness (groveling)
