"Teacher of the Year" by M.A. Wardell 
 
This was a heartwarming and steamy gay romance story that explored the challenges of balancing career, relationships, and personal growth. 
 
The story follows Marvin Block, an anxious yet dedicated kindergarten teacher, who is determined to win the Teacher of the Year award for the sake of his school. However, when he meets Illona and her single dad, Olan, his focus starts to shift from his professional goals to his personal desires. 
 
The author did an excellent job of crafting relatable characters with unique personalities and quirks. Marvin is a lovable protagonist that you can't help but root for as he navigates his anxieties and tries to find love outside of his work. Olan, on the other hand, is a charming and patient love interest who helps Marvin to confront his fears and discover what he truly wants in life. 
 
A must-read for fans of the genre and anyone who appreciates a well-crafted and emotionally resonant story.
