The Not Love List: a sweet romantic comedy by Ellie Hall
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
After giving up a promising career as a ballerina in her native France, Cateline Berghier reinvented herself as the headmistress of Blancbourg Academy d'Etiquette in Concordia, a small island nation north of England. The school is struggling financially and Cateline's been hard at work trying to figure out ways to save it while avoiding the other problems in her life, including an expired work visa. Her latest challenge comes in the form of professional football player Connor "Wolf" Wolfe, who's sent to Blancbourg along with several of his Boston Bruiser teammates to clean up their acts following a prank gone horribly wrong. Sparks fly between Wolf and Cateline from the moment they meet as they battle for the upper hand, but when the lessons move off campus and into Wolf's hometown, they can't help seeing each other in a different light. Could the prankster playboy finally be ready to settle down with the strait-laced schoolteacher?
It's always fun to see a stubborn hero who's sworn off love finally fall, and Wolf was no exception. He and Cateline had a ton of chemistry, and their prank war made me laugh so many times. He was like a little boy tugging on a little girl's ponytails for attention because he couldn't admit that he liked her. I loved when she responded to his pranks because it provided a peek behind her uptight headmistress persona to the warm, sweet woman within.
I highly recommend this funny, sweet, and heartwarming story for all fans of sweet/closed-door contemporary romance and romantic comedy. I look forward to the next book in the series.
