[Blog Tour + Review] See Me After Class by Meghan Quinn


SEE ME AFTER CLASS
AUTHOR: Meghan Quinn 
RELEASE DATE: November 12th
GENRE: Romantic Comedy



BLURB.

"Did you have relations with my brother . . ."

Good question.

I’d like to preface this by saying it was never my intention to ever get involved in a workplace romance, let alone get involved with the most surly, agitating, and pompous man I’ve ever met who just so happens to be my new friend’s brother.

My intentions were to show students how English and reading books could actually be fun and make a new life for myself in the suburbs of Chicago.

But so far, I’ve managed to be called into the principal’s office.

Coerced into participating in the teacher's badminton league.

And instigated into passionate fights with Arlo Turner over education and decorum while losing my underwear at the same time.

Known as Mr. Turns Me On, he’s the reason I might get fired from my first ever teaching job.




AVAILABLE NOW.
FREE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED.

**GREER**

“Before we get started, I’ve been told I need to ask you a question.” Stella sits cross-legged in front of me, a nervous look on her face, water in hand.
“Oh?” I ask, trying to act casual as I bring my glass of red wine to my lips. I have a scary inkling what this might be about.
She glances over at Coraline and winces. “Uh, I feel weird asking.”
Oh God . . . I was right.
Shifting, I say, “You know, we don’t have to—”
“Then why bring it up if you’re not going to propose your query?” Keiko asks impatiently while pushing her green-rimmed glasses up on her nose. “You know the frequency of these meetings is dependent upon staying within the comprehensive itinerary I composed during my lunchbreak.”
“Cool your bloomers, Keeks,” Coraline says while taking a large sip from her wine glass. “I want to know what’s making Stella so fidgety.”
The four founding members of the Ladies in Heat Book Club—aka my mismatched collection of friends—each bring diverse and unique character traits to our group.
Keiko “Keeks” Seymour—resident AP chemistry teacher at Forest Heights High School. Her social etiquette is lacking, her intelligence is off the charts, and she’d rather play with beakers than penises. She wasn’t thrilled about the book club name and made a noble attempt to explain why her suggestion, the Austen Empowerment Collaborative, was far more credible. Majority ruled, she lost.
Stella Garcia—Spanish teacher at Forest Heights and my co-coach. Currently single, makes the best tamales I’ve ever had, and is one stamp away from getting a free donut at Frankie Donuts. Can be shy at times, but when it comes to her family and friends, she doesn’t take shit from anyone. Loyal to the core, one of the reasons I adore her.
Coraline “Cora” Turner—recent divorcรฉe and living with her brother, Arlo. Jobless at the moment and couldn’t care less about it since both she and Arlo have enough inheritance to last them a lifetime. Often annoyed by her older brother or annoying him, doesn’t partake in Twitter—says it’s a filthy pool of opinions, and is the first to offer up a bottle of wine.
Then there’s me . . .
Greer Gibson—twenty-four-year-old fresh to the teaching scene as Forest Heights’s new English teacher and women’s volleyball coach. I love running, have a penchant for a man in a cardigan, and can get a little noisy in the classroom while teaching. I currently share a classroom wall with Arlo Turner, Forest Heights most prestigious English teacher, and might have lost my underwear—
“Out with it, Stella,” Cora says, snapping at her.
“Please, so we can proceed,” Keeks says, straightening her notepad on her lap.
Stella looks me in the eyes and says, “Brock wants to know if there’s anything going on between you and Turner. Apparently, Turner won’t say a thing, but Brock thinks there’s some strong sexual tension building.”
Cora whips her head to me, her eyes wide. “Are you getting it on with my brother?”
Finger pointed in the air, Keeks leans in and says, “The proper term amongst company would be coitus.”
Rolling her eyes, Cora asks, “Did you have coitus with my brother?”
“You could also say intercourse if that amuses your jargon more,” Keeks adds. “Or copulating would be sufficient. But if you are inclined toward romantic terminology, since we are in the presence of the book club, you could say lovemaking or performing intimate acts. Although, given the circumstances of when coitus took place—in the work environment—I would deduce that your actions were performed carnally rather than with the interest of developing a devoted accord.”
“Good God, Keeks,” Cora says, irritated. “Who cares what it’s called? We just want to know if it happened.” Cora looks me in the eyes. “Did it?”
Did it . . .
Good question.
I’d like to preface this by saying it was never my intention to ever get involved in a workplace romance when I was hired at Forest Heights, let alone get involved with the most surly, agitating, and pompous man I’ve ever met.
My intentions were to show students how English and reading books could actually be fun, bring the volleyball team to a state championship, and make a new life for myself in the suburbs of Chicago.
But so far, I’ve managed to be called into the principal’s office.
Infiltrate the teachers’ athletic league.
And had passionate fights with Arlo Turner over education, decorum, and student-teacher friendships.
Not to mention I’ve lost my panties to him in my dreams more than I care to admit.
Why did this all happen?
Simple.
The man dresses in a cardigan, that’s how.
Arlo Turner. The bane of my existence, annoyance to my sanity, and the only man who’s ever made me want to spread my legs in a classroom.
He’s torn down my metaphorical walls, strapped on a cottony cardigan—pushed up the sleeves—and has driven me to the brink of insanity, so now whenever I hear the mention of his name, my legs automatically spread, and my heartrate picks up.
Known as Mr. Turns Me On, he’s the reason my star athlete is struggling to keep her grades up.
He’s the reason I tend to avoid the teacher breakroom.
And he’s the reason I might get fired from my first ever teaching job.




MY REVIEW.

5 Stars from Tiffany!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Meghan Quinn and her Boys!

Do I really need to start this review with how much I love Meghan Quinn's books and the call back to others?? I do. So much. I actually squealed when I read the name Jason Orson. If you don't know what I'm talking about, give her baseball books a read, they're so worth it.

While we aren't with the Bobbies or Rebels this time around we are in throwing distance of a few former players, Gunner and Romeo, whose best friend is Arlo. The three men are teachers at a prestigious high school, Gunner and Romeo still carry thier sense of humor from the team days, while Arlo is the stuffed shirt of the group if you will. I liked Arlo, only because you knew there was more than what he showed on the surface. It was easier for him to play the straight man when with his nutty friends. Arlo wants to give more than he does, but doesn't really know how to do that or hasn't met anybody he wants to change for, until Greer walks into his life.

Greer is that someone to surprise Arlo in so many ways he can't count. She's young, vibrant, beautiful and ready to take on the world one kid at a time with her first teaching job. Greer is Arlo's polar opposite in all ways, which is what made them fun. She is everything he can't stand in a teacher and more. Greer quickly realizes the teacher in the room next door isn't a fan and goes out of her way to try and make him one, which only makes him uncomfortable.

"I hate this guy. I like the guy. He irritates me. He digs deep into my soul."

I loved Greer! She was a woman that knew what she wanted and set out to get it. She was straight forward, if you didn't like her, she wanted to know why. Of course she would instantly make friends with the "cool teachers" at school, Stella and Keiko, who are also friends with Gunner and Romero. This little clique was awesome and only got better page after page. A girl (or guy) needs thier squad and this was the perfect fit for them all the way around.

The book is well written in pure Meghan Quinn style, funny, sexy and a solid story to boot. I'll have to say, Keiko may be my new girl favorite character and it's because I am a Big Bang Theory fan. Hint, hint. While this story is all about Arlo and Greer, it is always great to learn a little about everybody else to keep things interesting. There are a lot of characters from this book I am eager to get to know.
