This is a light, quick, easy, enjoyable read. It is enjoyable because of the thesis of the book and the fact that it is a romance. Kat is a teacher of English as a second language and her mother and friends want her to begin dating now that she is divorced. Forty is not the sexual end though and that is the rest of the story.

This ridiculous book was neither interesting, nor funny. I kept hoping the romance subplot would at least be fun and sexy but it was a disappointment too. The protagonist, over the first few chapters, becomes more and more unlikable. She constantly victimizes herself and I found it quite annoying. I don't even think divorced, single moms would necessarily sympathize all that much with this character. The supporting characters are flat and do little to develop the main characters. A few characters were quirky and entertaining but not enough to save this book from a one star rating.

I was drawn to the title--as an English teacher, I have had many ESL students and even taught a class to a group of international Engineers at John Deere. The twist in this book is that the main character ends up romantically involved with one of her students,who turns out to have a few twists as well. It is an enjoyable book, with some very strong main characters.

Very good romance. I am not a romance reader, but I liked this one! The heroine was 40 years old, for one thing, which I appreciate. She was also a mother. She didn't do impulsive things like other romance heroines tended to do, but when it came to her child, she was fierce. I could relate and I really enjoyed how she handled the obstacles in her way. She used her prior life experience to deal with them, and recognized how her prior experiences were influencing her choices. It was refreshing to see a woman actually thinking before acting. I would read more romances if the women were more like Kat.

Fun, quick, light and a little trashy. Not a bad read...but nothing earth-shattering.

I watch a lot of romantic comedy movies but I don't read a lot of romcom books. They seem slow and hampered by wooden dialogue. Not so Alisa Kwitney. I really enjoyed her tale of an aging actress trying to take care of her learning - delayed son by teaching English to Foreign students. The romantic parts were romantic, the funny parts were laugh out loud funny and the sexy parts were very sexy. All the characters seemed very real and the dialogue sparkled. I can't wait to read more of her stuff.

This book was strongly recommended to me by a fellow author, so I had high expectations. It was pretty solid. The main character is great, her son is great... but I didn't feel the connection between her and the male lead. That being said, the love scenes were hot, if you can get past the whole Viking thing.

I saw this at the library. I enjoyed it immensely. It was funny and romantic. I also related to her being an actress and the process of learning a language and a culture. That being said, the end was just too easy. It just sort of tidied itself all up and that was a bit disappointing. Books these days often have poor endings full of ellipses. Otherwise, I was pleasantly surprised. Parts of it will stay with me.

It was okay - I felt like a lot of the character development started but never got very far. It was entertaining enough to finish and categorize as a quick summer read.

This book, though dissapointing at first, ended up suprising me in the end. And actually, as the book jacket said, I was really left wanting more. I initially bought it again because of the title, and the main character is a ESL teacher, and I'm an ESL teacher, so there ya go. The storyline is unbelievable, there isn't enough sex (haha, well, you come to expect some horizontal mambo in a romance novel), and what little forplay they have is pretty weird if you ask me. But yeah, as the story went on I completely fell in love with the main male character, and the female character also made a turn around.

A light pleasant read that was not totally predictable ,

Cheesy fluff....
