Love Back in Session by Erica Denise | Back to Sweet Pea Academy

~ Dear Black Grl

Ok so this book is part of the Sweetest Lessons Series so we’re going back to Sweet Pea Academy. This time to get into the love life of all the kids’ favorite resource officer, Shawn who is friends with both Vayce and Nick. This is book 5 (right before Vayce’s book)

Shawn is literally supposed to be a member of that purple and gold fraternity lol and back in his day he was a player but then he and Blair got together. He only wanted Blair and even though she was a virgin when they got together in college, he vowed to wait for her. Until he didn’t. Blair caught him in his bedroom with a nearly naked woman after a frat party. She was heartbroken and left the country to teach in Africa.

Fast forward 5 years and she’s back in her hometown to sub for one of the teachers at Sweet Pea Academy at the request of her bestie Justice. Unbeknownst to her, Shawn is the school resource officer and bumping into each other brings back old feelings for both of them. While she wants nothing to do with him, he isn’t letting up on his quest to have her forgiveness and for her to take him back.

So the cat and mouse game begins. This one had so many scenes that tickled me but drunk Blair was hilarious! The fact that she had no memory of that night come the next day was a hot mess especially since she told Shawn she still loved him and agreed to give him another chance.

Slowly but surely Shawn and Blair find their footing only to discover that they lost five years because of a prank at the direction of her ex Grant. This mofo smh. Shawn already didn’t fuck w/him because Grant hated that he was with Blair. Things get super ugly following that revelation but eventually these two find their way back and finally get what they both wanted all along. Finding out he was waiting for her just as long as she waited for him was so damn sweet. Shawn was definitely on his grown man shit and willing to accept responsibility for his actions and make things right.

I fully enjoyed this one and I love Shawn and Blair together.

We’re expected to be everything at once - strong, nurturing, brilliant (but not too much), and somehow flawless while carrying the world on our backs.
