FRINGE BENEFITS is the final book in the Ladies Who Lunch
series by Sandy James. Like the others it can be
read as a standalone and is just as entertaining. A younger teacher falls for an
older teacher who also
happens to be his boss. He struggles to convince her that
their age difference should not be a factor and that the
gossip mill should not have any effect on whether they have a
relationship. They also have to deal with an ex-fiancé that
wants him back and is determined to come between them. These
Ladies Who Lunch are four friends who taught at
the same school and through the years have become a support
system for each other. It's a great series about
friendship, insecurity, trust and allowing yourself to relax
and let go. It's also about "real, true" friends giving you the
unvarnished truth when you need it.
High school teacher Danielle Bradshaw is the last of the four
who has not found her Mr. Right yet. In her newly appointed
position as head of the English Department, she has been given
the assignment as serving as a mentor for newly hired teacher
Nate Ryan. Nate is immediately attracted to Dani and would
like to pursue a relationship. There is an eight year
difference in their ages and because she is technically his
boss, Dani feels it's inappropriate even though she is very
attracted to him.
I recommend the Ladies Who Lunch series by Sandy James because it
shows what
friendship really is all about. And you get to see four
friends along with their husbands and kids having a great time
together. They goof off but also have some serious
conversations about life altering situations. And when you
have best friends as sounding boards it makes decision
making a lot easier. A great story about four friends and
their families who are always there for each other!
When life gets tough and love is hard to find, four friends
take their troubles to lunch. High school teacher Danielle
Bradshaw deserves a happily ever after, and the Ladies Who
Lunch are determined to deliver Mr. Right.
HOT FOR TEACHER
As the new head
of the English department, Dani doesn't have much time for
anything but lesson planning and literature. Romance-or even
sex? Forget about it. But then the principal introduces her
to last-minute hire Nate Ryan. Finding time to mentor a new
teacher won't be easy, especially when his incredible body
and equally disarming charisma are enough to make her heart
skip a beat . . .
Nate may be fresh out of school,
but he's confident in his teaching skills-and in his
feelings for Dani. But while she's everything he's ever
wanted, he knows his place on her staff-and his age-may be
problematic for his sexy boss. How can he convince her to
ignore the gossip mill currently in full swing in the
teacher's lounge and surrender to what's meant to be?
