Blurb:

The first time we met was at a party.

Your ex arrived to show off the person he'd left you for last month, and you asked me to pretend to be your date. 

I was more than happy to help. You were attractive, smart and witty--and that kiss we shared? It left me wanting you for days. 

The second time we met was in my office on campus where we were both surprised to discover you were the new master’s degree student in poetry that I would be working with. You promised to be professional. I did no such thing.

The late nights and intense study sessions spent alongside you majorly throw me off my game. I want you, and I fight with myself daily over this fact. 

I know I'm crass, that my sexual innuendos and dirty mouth annoy you, but I live for those two bright spots of color in your cheeks. If that's the only reaction I can get out of you, I'll gladly take it. 

You hate Mondays so every Monday I slip an anonymous poem into your bag and your smile gets me through the week.

I think I'm falling for you, and I know it's wrong. I know that I'm only supposed to be your adviser and nothing more, but here's the thing. I think you're falling for me too. 

xo, Zach

My Review:
The college party scene is not Poppy’s thing. The 24-year-old grad student just wants to get her degree and be a good role model to her 7-year-old son Connor. But when she sees her ex-boyfriend at a house party she decides instead of running away, she’s going to get even which means grabbing a random guy at the party and asking him to be her fake boyfriend for the night.

What Poppy wasn’t expecting was Zach, the gorgeous guy she convinces to be her fake boyfriend or how the kiss they share makes her want him more than she’s wanted anyone for a long time. And she definitely doesn’t expect to go to school the following Monday and find Zach as her college advisor.

As Poppy tries to deny their chemistry and claims there can be nothing between them Zach does everything he can think of to show her that what they have is worth pursuing. 

Will Poppy give in to their smoldering attraction and realize Zach is the guy for her? Or will the risks outweigh the rewards? 

xo, Zach is a sweet, funny, sexy read that you’ll breeze through. I loved Zach’s sensitivity and his dirty mouth/mind and Poppy was a great mom to her son although it seemed to take a lot of convincing for her to relax and have fun.

I also really loved Zach’s mom! She was hilarious and if I ever have kids that’s the type of mom I want to be! 

Overall I really liked the story although I found it hard to believe Poppy didn’t realize it was Zach sending her the notes. I mean really? Who else is pursuing you that actively? And the notes themselves were so emphasized in the blurb but although supposedly Zach was leaving her a lot of them, we only really hear about the first and last notes during the course of the story. 

If you’re looking for a quick, cute, contemporary romance xo, Zach is a great read!
