Albin Academy #1

by Cole McCade

⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5

When Summer Hemlock finished high school he left his small town to find himself… 7 years later he is returning to that same town and school with no better idea of who he really is.

 Professor Fox Iseya is not impressed that the shy, quiet and fearful Mr. Hemlock, his former student, is the man hired to be his TA and whom he is supposed to train to be his replacement. How will this timid creature ever step in front of the classroom to deliver a lesson?

This calls for some lessons bravery. Professor Iseya challenges Summer to one act of bravery a day. Summer accepts, but decides his acts of bravery deserve their own daily award; a kiss, freely given by the Professor himself!

This May-December romance was really sweet. I wasn’t sure how this would go, but these two made a perfect pair. I loved watching them both support and push the other to become a better version of themselves without changing who they are.

As always, Carina Press delivers the happily ever after I crave! A cute read that I totally recommend!



Just Like That by Cole McCade is scheduled to release June 30th, 2020.


Book Description

In Just Like That, critically acclaimed author Cole McCade introduces us to Albin Academy: a private boys’ school where some of the world’s richest families send their problem children to learn discipline and maturity, out of the public eye.

Summer Hemlock never meant to come back to Omen, Massachusetts.

But with his mother in need of help, Summer has no choice but to return to his hometown, take up a teaching residency at the Albin Academy boarding school—and work directly under the man who made his teenage years miserable.

Professor Fox Iseya.

Forbidding, aloof, commanding: psychology instructor Iseya is a cipher who’s always fascinated and intimidated shy, anxious Summer. But that fascination turns into something more when the older man challenges Summer to be brave. What starts as a daily game to reward Summer with a kiss for every obstacle overcome turns passionate, and a professional relationship turns quickly personal.

Yet Iseya’s walls of grief may be too high for someone like Summer to climb…until Summer’s infectious warmth shows Fox everything he’s been missing in life.

Now both men must be brave enough to trust each other, to take that leap.

To find the love they’ve always needed…

Just like that.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Harlequin and the Harlequin Publicity Team. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
