**I voluntarily read an early copy of this title in exchange for an honest review**
Sexy Love is a novella in the Sexy series and while it is part of a series, it can definitely be read as a standlone.
Amber Davis is looking for a fresh start. She’s a single mom who has been living in Florida close to her own family, but she decides to move north to be closer to her son LJ’s paternal grandparents, uncle and two pseudo uncles. LJ’s Dad, Levi, died in a hazing accident in college leaving Amber to raise LJ and also leaving her having quit school to do so. She’s now heading back to get her degree so she can provide an even more stable life for her son.
Professor Shane Warden is also starting fresh after having been falsely accused of wrongdoing at his last job. His goal is to obtain tenure so he doesn’t have to worry any longer about being in a solid job. He’s honest, smart, sexy and wicked smart, meaning he’s pretty much the perfect catch.
When Amber and Shane meet, it’s by accident when they literally run into each other on campus. Little do they know that when the class starts, Shane is going to be Amber’s professor. Knowing that they can’t be together while she’s his student, will they be able to hold out until the end of the class or will this relationship cause Shane to have to choose between his job and the woman he can’t stop thinking about?
As someone who has read this whole series to this point, I’m thrilled we got Amber’s story. She’s been a part of it due to Levi and his twin Landon and so this was a great treat. I enjoyed both characters and LJ is awesome too. I highly recommend picking up this quick, enjoyable read!
I loved reading about Levi’s girlfriend and her son ten years after Levi died in college. I was glad to see that Amber let Levi’s twin brother and other two friends help her move, get a house, and start back in college. I know it was hard for Amber to see her son leave for a few weeks to be with Levi’s parents. It was nice that she will have time to ease back into school without her son there. I loved how she met Shane, but was sad to see that he ended up being her professor. Especially since Shane had a bad experience with a student in his last University. There is a student that wants to make trouble for Amber. I wanted to punch him! I enjoyed this short story and strongly encourage you to read the book.
