ANCIENT HISTORY

South Rock High - Book One

Review

I may actually like this series more than the Single Dads Club, which says something because I love those sexy dads A LOT!

Amos and Hutch are sweet, sexy, and fun in equal measure.

“Before we could continue our telepathic foreplay, his players dumped the water cooler of Gatorade on his head.

Hutch’s white polo shirt became see-through, so really, we all won tonight.”

Amos is a teacher at the high school he graduated from, South Rock High, in the same town he grew up in. He’s out and proud now, and he’s surrounded himself with some amazing friends whom he also works with. Life is good.

In walks the new, gorgeous, gym teacher and soccer coach. Who also happens to be his high school ex who broke his heart.

As these two reunite, it’s all kinds of awkward. Amos wants nothing to do with the man who broke him, but damn if doesn’t still find him all kinds of sexy. And charming.

What ensues is a wonderful story of them getting to know each other again, and remembering why they worked so well together before. Mix in some wonderful, quirky friends and one superb dad, and you can’t help but have a great time, and swoon over them getting their happy ending.

Shout out to Principal Aguilar who is hilariously geeky, sweet, and awkward. You need to read Getting Schooled, the free prequel novella that has this cacti-loving principal finding love with *gasp* a student's parent. I love him even more now.

Synopsis

The guy who broke my heart is back and teaching at my school. I’m really trying not to give an F.

A long time ago, in a suburban high school not so far away, a closeted nerd (me) and a closeted soccer star (Hutch) fell in love and planned to make their public debut at prom. Until Hutch bailed at the last minute, leaving me with a broken heart and unworn tuxedo. Tale as old as time, right?

I spent the past ten years working to forget Hutch, returning to our old high school to teach and make new memories that could erase ones of him. I thought Hutch was ancient history, off living his professional athlete life. But he’s suddenly back in Sourwood, coaching soccer at South Rock High, and sexy as ever. Just when I’d gotten over him, we’re now colleagues.

As Hutch leads the soccer team to victory once again, and we find ourselves trading stolen glances in the halls, it feels like a reboot of our high school bad romance. Especially after a late night encounter where I find myself climbing him like the rope in gym class. Oops.

Hutch wants to give us another try, but what if history is doomed to repeat itself?

Ancient History is a second chance, nerd/jock, small town romance filled with humor, heart, and hot guys. Hutch and Amos will put the A-plus in HEA, and like all good students, there’s no cheating. It’s the first book in the South Rock High series, which revolves around a found family of nerdy gay high school teachers.
