Class: How to Drive Him Crazy

Instructional program for women unexpectedly facing the totally dishy guy from their past. Everyone Welcome!

NHL coach Mark Diego’s plan to spend his off-season volunteering in his hometown goes awry when he learns that not only is he coaching teenage girls, but that the program is coordinated by energetic (and five feet two inches of trouble) coordinator Rainey Saunders, his childhood friend–and the woman he could never stand to see dating any other guy…

When their tempers flare, Mark and Rainey discover their fireworks don’t just burn angry–they burn very, very, hot! But that’ll just sweeten the victory. Because Mark always plays to win. And with Rainey, he’s planning on playing very dirty too… (Goodreads)

My Thoughts:

I got this book from NetGalley for a review; I sometimes like to read Harlequin romance novels. I find them entertaining; I cannot read too many of them one after another but from time to time I like to read one or two. When I was browsing through Harlequin section on NEtGalley I saw this book and thought it looked fun. 

Rainey was a fun character to read about, same for Mark. I have to say there was a lot of chemistry between the two of them. Rainey had a major crush on Mark when they were younger, highschool. But nothing ever happened not because she never tried. But she has been avoiding him for years, but now she no longer can avoid him. He Is volunteering at the rec center where she works. She is still attracted to him and he to her. It’s not long before they both end up in bed and have some hot sex.

Jill Shalvis obviously knows how to write and hot and steamy romance novel. There was a lot of chemistry between Rainey and Mark; but there was not a lot to the story line which I can get past since this is Harlequin and romance is the focal point. 

Overall this was a very entertaining and fun read. I have read few other books by this author and liked all of them. If you like reading Harlequin romances then you might enjoy this book. It has a lot of hot and steamy sex in it. But if you are not big on hot and steamy sex in your books than this might not be a book for you. 

I give this book 4/5 STARS – Happy Reading!!!
