How will love fit in?

When Abbi and Joe literally bumped into each other on the street, they easily recognized each other. Abbi has been Joe's math tutor in high school and without them knowing, their "high school crush" to each other has been mutual. Now, after a decade, they see each other and well… the attraction is pretty much still there only this time, both of them are adults who know what they want and get what they want.

"Abbi hated performing poorly in any aspect of her life, but this? So private. So crushing."

Abbi is "self-tutoring" how to be a sexual vixen for the app that she's building. I say it hits two birds in one stone since she's also insecure about her sexual prowess after her ex tells him how boring she is in bed. When she bumped into Joe and Joe figured out what she needs, he more than happily offered his tutoring skills on that particular subject. It hits two birds in one stone for him too: he gets to act on his Abbi fantasy and he returns the favor to Abbi. Although I'm pretty sure it's more on the former than the latter.

"Back in high school I gave you six lessons. That's all I'll take from you."

The story goes from there -- Joe showing Abbi how sexy she is and helping her realize that nothing is wrong with her in bed. All of course for that app she's building.

I've always enjoyed Entangled books, whether they're novellas or full novels, it's a safe bet that there will be smiles and fanning myself moments when I read them. Taming His Tutor was a good lazy weekend afternoon read. It has that 90's - early 2000's romantic movie feel to it and I love those movies.

"You ever wear panties with me again, I'll take them off and make you come."

Sexy, sizzling and Jesus, Joe has a good mouth on him! Abbi and Joe's agreement was a recipe for disaster, sexual activities and no commitment or romantic feelings? One or both will eventually fall for the other and these two were trying so hard to not develop any feelings. I don't know but I actually enjoyed getting into their heads. It was funny, ridiculous, a little understandable and also really sweet. The turn that Natalie Anderson added in the story added depth into Taming His Tutor, Abbie and Joe's story didn't just revolve around their lessons but we also get to see their histories. I appreciated that. It made them seem more real and more relatable.

I didn't love it too much but I enjoyed this, my first Natalie Anderson read and if you're looking for something entertaining to spend the day with, Taming His Tutor can keep you company!

Stars: 3.5 to 4 Stars!
Recommended to: Entangled fans.
POV: Third person. Dual POV.
Series: No.
EXTRA COMMENT: There were words/phrases though that didn't quite fit and makes me think if I'm still reading the same book. I guess it didn't bother me that much or else I would've stopped but that's where the rest of my rating went and how "sudden" the conflict was resolved. I would've expected a bit more groveling from Joe and a fight with Abbi.
