MMD team member Leigh says: "Candace and Ezra have been friends who have been pining for each other for 18 years. They are convinced the other person isn’t interested in something more and they don’t want to risk losing the friendship. They both independently decide it’s time to get over this unrequited crush…only to land on the same plane to Quito, Candace as a flight attendant, Ezra as a passenger. I adored both of these characters. The structure choices are what really makes the book. We get scenes from various NYEs over the years interspersed with the present New Year’s Eve. I really loved how their romance came to be and what they both needed to realize about why it took so long for them to get together. Sweet, sexy, and moving. (Open door.)"

Leigh says: Another wonderful contemporary romance from Katrina Jackson! Mike has pined for fellow professor Toni for years. His crush comes to fruition right as the academic year ends and her sabbatical begins. Boy did I enjoy watching Toni finally open up her eyes and see who has been in front of her all along! This had so many things I love: home renovation, Mike bonding with Toni's cat, union organizing, and Mike learning how to do Toni's hair. An absolute treat. You don’t need to read Office Hours first but if you do, you’ll have a better sense of just how long Mike has been into Toni. (Open door.)
