Wanting You by Samantha Chase

 💖💖💖💖💖/5

I enjoyed Chloe and Tanner’s emotional ride in Wanting You by Samantha Chase, book three in The Donovans: Sweetbriar Ridge series. Chloe Donovan, an award winning kindergarten teacher, is the quiet twin who doesn’t like to make waves and gets along with everyone. With the town growing another kindergarten teacher is needed. She’s excited for another teacher to join the school but at the last minute there’s a change and when she meets the new teacher, Tanner Westyn, who is pompous, egomaniac, and a former alpine skier, they get off to a very rocky start, but there’s underlying tension between them.

 

Tanner, a professional skier who retired while he was on top, received his teaching certificate years ago. He decided now was the perfect time to start his teaching career. He wants to teach fifth grade, believing it would be an easy way to get in, but as he is late in applying for teaching jobs, the only school that offered a position was in a small town and it is for a kindergarten class. When he hears that the other kindergarten teacher has been Teacher of the Year the last two years, his competitive nature kicks in. Chloe loves her job as a kindergarten teacher; she’s passionate, shines, and it’s something she excels at. Being a team player, Chloe offers to work with the new teacher, but finds him arrogant, overly confident, and overbearing; so he's on his own.

 

Chloe and Tanner’s journey might have started off on the wrong foot but both are very passionate about their jobs. Chloe’s insecurities and immaturity made communication between them difficult. It is only with family support and a reality check that Chloe realizes how she sabotaged the growing friendship between them. Determined to change and repair their relationship and fight for their forever love, Chloe finds strength to become more confident and allow Tanner back into her life, and classroom. I enjoyed seeing all their family and friends who continue to add so much heart to this story. I am looking forward to the next story in this series; hopefully Billie’s.

💖💖💖💖 /5   Snowball Unwrapped by Kristen McKanagh, book four in the Snowball series, isn’t so much about Snowball the resident cat, it’s about the budding romance assisted by the imaginative and crafty cat. Snowball, you see, has a gift no other cat has: the gift of matchmaking.
