High School Sweethearts having a second chance at love is totally my thing.
Garrett & Callie’s story of finding love again after so many years apart was just spectacular.
Author Emma Chase delivers another knock out story from dual Points of View.
Garrett, he is a new book boyfriend you will love to pieces.
He is smart, funny, cocky and just straight up the All Around High School guy who has turned into a super hunky wonderful man.
Callie, she is a young woman who turned out after going after her dreams a successful, beautiful woman in the Theater industry.
I enjoyed these characters who are older, wiser and finding that friendship and love does not die even after 20 years apart.
Great story line, memorable characters and soo many moments that had me swooning and laughing.

This book exceeded my expectations. It was just beyond great and I enjoyed it so so much.
I say this a lot and about a couple of tropes but I’m a sucker for second chance romances and this one completely captivated me and my heart was a lot happy while reading this.
Garrett was just swoon worthy A-F! At first he was just the typical guy who only has friends with benefits relationships but as soon as his girl came back into his life, he was a goner. And it was honestly so freaking sweet. I loved watching these two reunite and get things back to where they had been all those years ago. And let’s talk about side characters for a sec… I adored them so much. Garrett and Callie’s besties, their families and the students.. it was such an epic bunch. I just loved all the plot lines, I wish there was more for me to read of all these amazing characters.
Oh and I cried.. if you’re and animal lover you’re probably gonna cry too. Consider this your warning.
I seriously enjoyed everything about this book, no lie. It will be one of those books I’ll be happy to re-read time and time again. And it was more than just a romance… the messages with the kids and all the stuff about dreams made this book just perfect. Garrett and Callie will show you that it’s okay to change and want different things in life. Your dreams might not be the same you had at 18 when you’re 30 and that’s perfectly okay. You grow, you change.. that’s the beauty of life.
Emma Chase has done it again
Getting Schooled is a full on 5 “You were always mine” Stars. What a beautiful, sweet, fun and totally HOT second chance romance between Garrett and Callie. I just fell in love with the strong connection and history that they had, their bond one of familiarity from the past mixed with getting to know each other as adults. With every interaction between Garrett and Callie, it was confirmed over and over again just how real their love are. That they complete each other in a way that no one else could. And my god, Garrett….. *swoons* He did some serious damage on my heart because just when I think I can’t love Garrett more, he proves me wrong. And that’s exactly what happened. I kept falling deeper in love with Garrett Daniels, this gorgeous, sexy, confident, dedicated, passionate, filthy-mouthed hunk who is also so damn sweet and caring like he is with his students.
And those epilogues were a real, triple-threat treat.

Getting Schooled is a fun, sexy and thoroughly enjoyable read. This is the perfect book to take to the beach and just enjoy!!
This story is exactly what I expect when I pick up an Emma Chase novel. It was funny, sexy, sweet, swoony and just perfect!!! I love that after I read a book by Emma, I am left with a huge smile on my face and warmth in my heart!!
Getting Schooled is the first in Emma’s Getting Some series. They are interconnected standalone novels and I think she is off to a great start. I look forward to reading more about this cast of characters and their hometown in New Jersey. I loved the close feel of family and friends. It is the best small town story. You feel like you live there and grew up with all of these characters. Emma knows how to write a story like this, it makes it feel real 🙂
This is a standalone novel and is told from Dual POV. It’s a friends to lovers story but more importantly it is a second chance romance. I thought the pace and flow of the story was perfect and I loved that the setting of the story was based in a high school. I thought she gave an accurate portrayal of what high school is like these days. She gave us a young adult feel to the story while keeping it an adult romance story. You’ll see what I am saying once you read this book.
In this story we follow Garrett and Callie. Garrett and Callie are old high school sweethearts, that went their own way before college. It’s been 13 years since they have seen each other. Now Callie is called home to take care of her parents who were injured in an accident. Callie is living and working in San Diego….she is just promoted to her dream job, but family comes first and she heads home. She takes a temporary job as the high school drama teacher, where she runs into Garrett again. Garrett is the history teacher and football coach of the high school. He is happy with the life he has built for himself in his hometown. That is until Callie returns home and turns his world upside down!!! Can these two get it right the second time around?? Will they get their HEA?? Read this enjoyable story of two past lovers who are giving a second chance.
I loved that these characters were adult ages. Both in their 30’s, their relationship didn’t revolve around games and hidden agendas. It was completely functional and realistic. I felt that made it easy to connect to these characters and their story. I loved that Garrett was confident and slightly arrogant, but he also had a sweet and loving side. He mad emu heart and panties melt 😉 I also liked Callie. She was a strong and independent woman who knew what she wanted and went after it. She also knew how to bring Garrett to his knees.
I would definitely recommend this book to all fans of Emma Chase’s books and anyone who loves a second chance romance. This is a book you won’t want to miss!!!
Gah! This book had me swooning over Garrett!
Getting Schooled was such a sweet and heart warming listen. It’s a second chance romance about Garrett Daniels and Callie Carpenter, high school sweethearts who reconnect after 10 years apart.
The story begins in the present with Callie and Garrett living separate lives in separate cities. Garrett is still in there home town living a bachelor life that he has no intention of changing. And Callie is living her dream of working in theatre.
Due to unforeseen circumstances that Callie would rather not discuss ever again, she ends up back in there home town. A couple of days into her trip home she runs in Garrett and its almost like being back in the past.
Getting Schooled gives you a glimpse of Callie and Garrett’s past and the great relationship they had. I really enjoyed reading both POV’s of this story. Emma Chase writes a great male POV!
I love a great second chance romance, its one of my favourite troupes and Getting Schooled didn’t disappoint me at all. It wasn’t your typical hate to love or angsty second chance but it was a beautiful story full of the past, the present and the future. I loved all characters in this small town. It was a feel good romance that had me swooning, laughing and blushing.
The narrators for the audio book were Andi Arndt and Zachary Webber who are my absolute favourite narrators. They both bring such great emotion to the characters they’re reading and capture the story so well!
Getting Schooled was So Good.
I enjoyed listening to this audiobook. Great story, great performance my Zachary Webber and Andie Arndt. Emma Chase has made me a huge fan. there were so many moments that made me laugh at characters Garrett and Callie, and a few that made me cry. This a great romantic comedy, and I highly recommend it.
4.5 stars
I listened to the Audiobook of Getting Schooled. I think the narrators did a great job with the dialogue. The characters played nicely off of each other. They were sexy, fun, and funny. I spent a lot of time just laughing.
Garrett and Callie clicked from the very beginning in part because they had a past. Although it was 20 years ago, the attraction was still there. You could sense the hesitancy in both Callie and Garrett when they first reconnected.
Garrett did seem to have sex on the brain, but the more time they spent together, he seemed to remember and appreciate the things he loved about Callie.
Callie held back because being in town was supposed to be a temporary thing for her. As time went on, she not only became more entrenched in the town, in the school, and in her students. She also rediscovered what she loves about Garrett.
There was one moment with Callie where she had me thinking, she really wasn’t going to hold onto something from a period of time after they originally broke up.
There were emotional moments, secrets, thoughts withheld, decisions to be made, and learning experiences wound throughout the book. A small town vibe full of close friends, family, laughter, love, loyalty, and support.
A sweet, sexy, second chance romance that was also very humorous. One of my favorite parts was this book had THREE, count ’em, THREE, epilogues. Lots of authors won’t give you one, but Emma Chase gave me three.
I have the ebook, but listening to it was awesome!
Aw!! I loved Garrett & Callie! Their story is so sweet. I loved all the humor and fun of this story. I chuckled so many times. I enjoyed this so much. It’s upbeat, has life lessons, emotional, sweet, fun, and leaves a smile on your face. And the narrators were fantastic.
I loved all the epilogues and seeing how their lives kept progressing. My heart is so full. A beautiful second chance romance.
This review is for an ARC and is my unbiased, honest opinion.
Words cannot express how much I loved this book. GAHHHH!! I’m seriously just so in love right now that I want to pick this right back up and start it from the beginning. It was perfection. I loved the story, the characters, the town, etc. I just have ALL the feels after finishing this amazing story.
Step aside book boyfriends because there’s a new guy at the top of my list. Garrett Daniels is the complete package. His confidence was the sexiest thing ever!! And the way Garrett cared for his students and players……I can’t even. I wouldn’t mind having 80 more books with this couple. I never wanted the story to end.
Callie was another top favorite for me in this one. I loved her sooo much!!! Garrett and Callie used to date back in High School but when they graduated their paths led them in different directions. Fate and life have a way of putting people together that are just meant to be. I’m a firm believer in that. These cuties were the perfect couple. I loved their ups and downs, their highs and lows. I can’t remember the last time I rooted so strongly for a couple.
The High School scenes in this story were the best. I loved how Callie and Garrett were both teachers. I could just envision the school, the students, the classrooms, etc. I loved how they truly cared for their students and their jobs. Their connections with the students was very inspiring. It was so special to see it all unfold.
I’ll admit, this book BRINGS the feels. So keep your Kleenex boxes close by!! This is a beautiful story and I cannot recommend it enough.
This was a story about Garrett and Callie, it was a second chance romance. What I liked about it was there was no past drama to really get through. They did have drama in the past as to why the broke up, but it wasn’t used as a hurtle like most second chances. This was just two people who were strongly attached and went away to different schools and built new lives. It was a great story, one of my favorites of hers. It was funny and realistic, and I was sad when it was done.
“This is . . . you and me . . . the reboot.” A beautiful second chance romance.
I have loved this author since I first read Tangled, and this book was just as amazing as all of her others. A gorgeous second chance romance, with all of the emotion that I crave when reading. The love that the two characters held onto for one another over the years was absolutely beautiful and their chemistry was explosive.
I did not want this book to end, I hope to get a glimpse into their lives in Deans book.
I really loved this old-flame-rekindled story!
This book was hilarious – especially for anyone who has teenagers at home! If you haven’t listened to the audio or read it, it’s a must! I listened to the Audio – Andi Arndt and Zachary Webber nailed it!
