How to Fail at Flirting by Denise Williams, 343 pages
Naya is an education professor at Thurmond University, almost ready for tenure and concerned that her department will be cut in some restructuring. She's also several years out of an abusive relationship, and afraid to try again with someone new. Nudged on by her friends, she heads out for an evening on the town, and meets Jake, a handsome man with a penchant for puns and bad jokes who is in town for a friend's wedding. Despite her intention to make this a short-lived fling, the sparks fly and Naya is entranced.
The chemistry between Naya and Jake is palpable throughout this book, and makes it a quick and easy read. However, the way Naya's previous relationship is discussed and treated is a bit odd, particularly when it comes to Naya's otherwise-understanding friends. That element is what keeps me from wholeheartedly recommending it.
