Teacher I Want to Date is an opposites attract/enemies to lovers story which is told from the first-person point of view. I was provided with an arc for my honest review.

Mason is a completely organized person, right down to his life plan that is until his life starts a whirlwind of changes. Struggling to deal with the fact his niece is growing up causes him to make some bad decisions. Gabby, Sarah's teacher, tries to help Mason realize that he needs to give her some space. Mason falls for Gabby but trying to get her to move past her past may prove a challenge.

Teacher I Want to Date is my first novel by Mia Kayla and I was not overly impressed. I found it hard to connect with either of the main characters and Mason's anal tendencies drove me nuts to the point I almost did not finish this novel. I may try another Mia Kayla novel later if time permits.

Teacher I want to Date by Mia Kayla is a lighthearted story of a teacher and a student's uncle. Their meet cute is so awkward! Gabby and Mason (and their families) brings some deep moments along with lots of crazy times.

Gabby and Mason both have tight knit families. Mason is very involved in his niece's life and seeing her grow up really hits him hard. I was cringing at his invasion into her life (her own father wasn't going that far). Gabby has a better understanding of teens (as teachers usually do) and really tries to explain to Mason how to better relate to his niece. Mason realizes quickly he is very attracted to Gabby.

Mason is a number cruncher who plans every move. He is never spontaneous so he struggles with his spontaneity regarding Gabby. Conversely, Gabby is much more impulsive. These two are a solid foil for each other and their budding relationship is cute. They both have a recent history of a BAD relationship, so they are cautious. Personally, I wish the ex drama wasn't so pervasive. Mason wants a family and a wife. It was endearing since so many books feature a man whore hero.

There are plenty of laughs throughout the story that keeps everything upbeat! If you are looking for a fairly quick read featuring characters with lots of close family ties, Teacher I Want to Date is a solid pick!

3.5 stars
From the moment I read the synopsis for Teacher I Want to Date, I knew I had to read this book. Thanks Wildfire Marketing Solutions for the opportunity to read and review this book.

I had loads of fun reading this book. I laughed for most of it. There were a few teary eyed and steamy moments, which, were strategically placed, resulting in a balanced read.

The characters were such a hoot. Their actions had me grinning from ear to ear. Mason and Gabby were complete opposites, but were perfect for each other. Imagine a straight-laced, health nut and a neat freak who lacks spontaneity with someone who is spontaneous, outgoing and loves chaos. You are probably saying there goes a recipe for disaster, but these two made it work. I liked their initial meeting, which was hilarious. That scene will remain with me for a long time.

As much as I enjoyed the humour, I was glad to see that the story was built on more. The romance was cute even though I found its development fast for my tastes. Mason and Gabby are both recovering from a breakup, with Gabby’s own being the most painful. Her choice in men was questionable, so you can imagine she had trust issues, which proved a hindrance in their budding relationship. In addition, Mason had his own share of issues, which threatened to end what he had with Gabby.

I enjoyed the family dynamics featured in the story. Gabby had a large family compared to Mason. Despite the difference in the size of their families, their interactions were loving, loyal, protective and jovial.

Conclusion / Recommendation
Overall, I found the story to be fun and cute. This book works well as a stand-alone, but I would love to read the stories for Mason’s brothers. If you enjoy romantic comedy, you may want to pick up Teacher I Want to Date.
