Present Perfect An Enemies to Lovers, Small Town Romance (Foxe Hill, Book #2)

Julie Olivia2021
DELANEY I'm a good girl who makes good decisions. He's my professor with eyes that see right through me. Everyone says he's charming. I say he's entitled. Is he a wolf in sheep's clothing, or is that alluring small-town smile real? I don't know if I want to find out. I've spent my whole life working for what I have. One captivating professor can't change that now. ASHER I'm the English department head. She's my beautiful student in the mentor program. The dean says she's a perfect fit. I say she's too perfect. Is she a strait-laced Bo Peep, or is there fun lurking behind those eyes? I shouldn't want to find out. We exist in a gray area where the lines are blurred between student and colleague. But what might happen this summer is forbidden for either relationship. Present Perfect is an enemies-to-lovers, professor/student, small town romance. It is the second book in the Foxe Hill Series. Each book in the series can be read individually but are most enjoyed as a whole! Dual POV. 18+ for language and explicit content.

i’m extremely happy with this book. i genuinely loved it. i can’t think of anything i didn’t like.

it was very sweet and adorable. nothing forced, nothing rushed, everything well balanced and linked together beautifully. it also had a twist i didn’t expect at all!

the main characters were pure and pleasant, and i found all the interactions between them lovely.

a very nice read that i highly recommend!

P.S.: i wish we could get more interactions of Keaton and Violet though, because, well, their book finished a bit too jerkily 🥲.

“You are… everything I’ve read about. You’re the type of woman they write poetry about. Wars won for. And, Delaney, I want you. And I want to at least try this. Because I think if we try, then that’s all we’ll need to do. You and me? We just fit.”

“Like a puzzle piece.”

“Yeah. Like a puzzle piece.”

I need to be content again with just being Asher. Asher at the bonfires on Fridays. Asher with his friends moving on with their lives. Asher doing nothing but being the same Asher as always. Asher with an empty chest.

[...]

A part of me wants to wallow and another part of me just wants company. It’s like no matter how much French toast I shovel into my mouth, I never feel quite full.

Delaney took some part of me with her and I’m not sure I’ll get it back. I’m tired of being alone. I’m tired of being overworked and stressed. I’m tired of being tired. No. Tired of being stagnant.

“I see the way he looks at you,” she continues, ignoring my snark. “I see the way you look at him. I don’t see anyone else look at anyone like that, like maybe if you look away for just a second, you’ll never be able to find each other ever again.”

And when I look up at him, I can tell it’s not just a professor possessing a student, but a professor possessed by one.

My mom always said that perfection is the enemy of the good.

This book appears on the shelf 05 — i hope my love reaches you like a wave.
