The first time I saw Will Munroe I had him pegged as a typical LA douchebag—a little too handsome, a little too rich, a little too into his probiotic kale smoothies. The next time I ran into him—at his daughter’s parent/teacher conference (me: teacher, he: parent)—I noticed his steel grey eyes, his hard chest under a crisp white button down, and his suggestively bare ring finger. I was hooked.

If life really imitated art, he’d have swept me off my feet and taken me right there on the principal’s desk. Instead, we are stuck in our assigned roles. He’s the workaholic single dad of a precocious girl child, and I’m her fiery substitute teacher. Never the two shall meet. Enter one zany, yurt-dwelling ex-wife, a stock market that never sleeps, and some over-the-top, A-list fundraisers, and I’ve got plenty of drama ahead. Better to keep my hands to myself.

But when Will asks me out for a pancake breakfast, how can I resist? My heart (and my stomach) say yes, but am I willing to risk my job for a short stack and a romp in the hay? A slow, sensual, mind-blowing romp in the hay…

But where there’s a Will…

I’m asking for a tissue when he sweeps me up into his arms and kisses me. His mouth covers mine, nothing tentative about it. It’s a masterful kiss, him claiming my mouth over and over again. My arms twine around his neck, when what I should be doing is pushing him away with a Scarlett O’Hara “I do dee-clayah! Mr. Munroe!” But I don’t. Instead, I pull him closer, feeling the scrape of his stubble against my cheek. He tastes like breath mints from heaven, or something else celestial and minty fresh. When we finally pull apart—which body does not want, but brain insists on—I find I can finally exhale. Will lowers me back to the ground like I’m floating back out of a dream, back to my job and the school and…the fact that I’m still doing my job at the school.

While snogging a parent.

Snogging’s a great word.

Okay, brain. Let’s get back to it.

“That was…” Will’s voice trails off. The tone is deep, rugged, sexy.

I respond, “Shhweee.” I think I was looking for the word sweet, but we’ll never know.

“Very,” he agrees. He steps away, even though every molecule in my body right now is telling me to fling myself back at this tall, infuriating, infuriatingly gorgeous man. But just as I’m about to throw caution and my bra to the wind, someone adorable comes bouncing up to us, her mouse-eared hoodie still on.

MARY’S 5 STAR REVIEW

I freaking loved Extra Credit. It was sweet, sexy and funny. A great ROM-COM that is sure to leave you laughing out loud!! There were times that I literally laughed so hard tears were running down my cheeks!!

Will Munroe is a stockbroker that works long office hours. He is a top producer for the firm he works for. You know the kind uptight and nose to the grindstone? He is also a divorce-ing, doting, single dad of ten-year-old Amelia. You’ll see this with the numerous pictures of Amelia in his office. Determined to not ever be a Disneyland dad but to make his number one goal for Amelia to be present and active in her life. Will’s love for his daughter just emanates from him and will absolutely melt your heart too.

When he gets a call from the new age/hippie type private school, attended by LA elite, that his daughter goes to. There is some kind of a behavioral issue that the principle would like to speak to him about. Finding that he is stuck in a meeting he has to instead opt for a later meeting with her teacher.

Amelia’s teacher is 29 year old Chelle Richardson. First of all she is actually a substitute teacher who is filling a temporary spot at the school. She quirky, random and will engage mouth before thinking. She loves her job and is scared to death that she will have to fulfill a promise she made to her parents… that she would move home if she doesn’t find a permanent job by her next birthday.

When Will meets Amelia’s teacher it was a total WTF moment. They had actually met earlier on a running trail, with their dogs. It was pretty funny too since one of the dogs was dry humping the other! While this encounter had left Will daydreaming about her, Chelle had kind of deducted that he was a rich, douchecanoe.

Meeting Chelle absolutely blew Wills away! He had come for a conference but instead was stunned when he discovered the adoration Chelle had for his daughter and a kids would be kid’s type philosophy. Chelle’s randomness and free spirit kind of further attracted him ….it was utterly lust at first sight.

Chelle on the other hand, in spite of finding Will more than hot, couldn’t get past the parent-teacher thing. It wasn’t until they began to work together on a theatre project for the school

that their undeniably searing chemistry could not be contained.

Where will this attraction lead them?

The only problem I found with Extra Credit was that the book just ended too soon!! EC was a delightful read and I look forward to many more books from Poppy!!

After ten years of hiding behind a bathroom door, Poppy Dunne has sent both children to school, emerged from the bathroom, and is excited to release Room Service, a romantic comedy plotted mostly on the toilet.

Poppy writes books with relatable heroines who speak their minds and whose riotous inner dialogue reflects their complex characters. Her goal is to deliver a story that has equal parts heart, romance and humor. Her heroes are swoon worthy, yet hold on to your suspension of disbelief, because they pick up their own socks and cook.

In her free time, she looks for hobbies other than Netflix and procrastinating to fill out this author bio. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband and children.
