Jaq Cummings is a high school teacher who really wants a committed relationship—as long as it doesn't keep her out late on school nights or interrupt Sunday mass with her dad. She is absolutely not about to fall for the hot-mess divorcée she hooks up with even if said hot mess pushes all her buttons. Jaq's white knight days are over.

But one hookup with Hannah becomes two, then coffee, then more incredibly hot sex. And unlike most of Jaq's exes, Hannah's not looking for someone to come on strong. In fact, Hannah comes on plenty strong enough for both of them. But she's just out of a disastrous marriage, she's in the process of moving across the state, and Jaq can't take a chance on yet another relationship where she defaults to being a caregiver instead of a partner.

Just when Jaq decides her relationship with Hannah is far too precarious, a crisis with a student reminds her of her priorities and makes it clear that sometimes, you have to take big risks to get what you really want.

      Ripper’s fun contemporary pairs up two opposites who most definitely attract each other. Jaq is a high school teacher who loves her community, sponsors her school’s Gay-Straight Alliance, and wants to fall in love with a sensible low-risk woman. Hannah—whose baggage includes her messy divorce, her high-drama reputation, and her playgirl ways—is definitely not Ms. Right, but she’s got Jaq hooked. The two have amazing chemistry, but Jaq has preconceptions and trust issues, and Hannah is still emotionally tangled up with her ex. This leads to frustration and misunderstandings on both sides, and the two have to learn to communicate if they’re going to fit into each other’s lives. Ripper neatly incorporates plenty of queer friends for both women to round out the present-day setting of fictional La Vista, Calif., and perhaps provide some fodder for sequels. This is a sweet and spicy romance with a wonderful community component.
