Maisie Hastings has an endless list of reasons to be annoyed with high-school-rival-turned-teaching-colleague Harry Latu. The after surprising each other at school late one Saturday night, she discovers his plans to build a rival school. It could threaten the viability of the small private school they’ve spent their careers in, and shoots to Reason #1 on her Why Harry Is Horrible list. But there’s more to Harry’s secret plan than she’s given him credit for. and when their principal shows up, they both have reasons for not wanting to be discovered.

There’s only one good excuse Maisie can improvise of why she’d be here late with Harry – and they’d better make it convincing.

The Rival Kiss is a short romantic prequel to Jessica Kate’s full-length 2024 romance Drive You Crazy.

I needed a quick read on a road trip, so I thought I’d read this. I’ve read Jessica Kate before but it’s been a while, so I was excited to read this short story.

I’m pretty sure this is the shortest romance story I’ve ever read, but I enjoyed it. Kate did a great job of setting the scene without making me feel bogged down in information. My only real issue with the story is that I wanted more! Much more of a teaser than a complete story, but still fun to read.

Rated PG.
