Compared: A Sweet Romantic Comedy (The Sweet Rom"Com" Series Book 1) Kindle Edition
Meg
Confession: I'm attracted to my student's dad. Let me give you Tyler Dixon's resume: thoughtful, manly, father of the year, widower, ridiculously attractive (basically the opposite of a dad bod).
This might sound like good news for someone like me—someone who dreams of getting married and becoming a mom—but it's not. Getting involved with a parent is grounds for immediate removal at my school, and right now, my fragile heart can't handle being fired.
My mom just died. My boyfriend broke up with me, and to top it all off, my dad started dating again. Stable employment is the only good thing I have. Risking my job and my heart is the most foolish thing I could do.
Tyler
Being a widower isn't like the movies. There's not a block of women knocking on my door, bringing me casseroles every day. No, real life is work, laundry, and groceries—all while being both the mom and the dad. I'm pretty much failing at this single-parent thing.
I don't have time to date.Which is good since the only woman I'm interested in keeps pushing me away: Miss Johnson. Emphasis on the Miss—as in, my son's teacher. It's hard to convince a woman to go out with you when she'll get fired.
But it's either pursuing Meg, despite her job, or the never-ending depths of loneliness—no big deal.
Compared is a witty, heartfelt rom-com with a teacher/parent romance, an irresistible single dad, and swoony chemistry that will have you rooting for a happily-ever-after while keeping the romance closed-door.
Trigger Warning: This book deals with the loss of a spouse and the loss of a parent. Strong themes of grief and mourning are written throughout.

About the author
Kortney graduated from the University of Utah with an English degree and spent a few years before motherhood teaching 7th and 8th graders how to write a book report, among other things. But after a reading slump, where no plots seemed to satisfy, Kortney pulled out her laptop and started writing the "perfect" love story...or at least she tried. Writing love stories is her job...just kidding. Her real job is taking care of her five awesome kids and spending time with her husband.
Kortney loves a good romance movie or book, warm chocolate chip cookies, and traveling the world.

I purchased a copy of this novel in eBook form from Amazon.com on May 13, 2023, in order to review. In no way has this influenced my review. The opinions expressed in this review are my own.
This is a clean romance
The characters were so well written and relatable! I felt Meg and Tyler’s pain, felt their happiness and love. Meg is such a fun character and I loved that she was a teacher! She’s perfect for that job and you can tell she loves the kids. Her struggles with missing her mom and feeling like her dad’s replacing her is so understandable. I adore Tyler!! 😍 His relationship with his son Krew, his kindness and playfulness with the boys he coaches, his flirting and growing love with Meg, it’s just all so good! His love for his late wife and how she’ll always be a part of him, even as he moves on, is so sweet. 😭 Krew is just adorable I want that kid. I love how he always tells the truth and gets his dad in trouble. 😂😂 Also Meg’s family is the best. 😂 I love their dynamics and can’t wait for the future books, as each one is going to be following a different sibling!
The romance was so good!! 😍 Even mix of relationship and physical, which I loved. It did get a bit steamy at times, but it is an adult book, not YA, and yet it was still clean, which I really appreciated! There’s nothing explicit or anything, just some passionate kisses and such.
The humor in this book was everything. 😆😂 Compared is a romcom and Kortney has the best writing style for it!! I found myself grinning and laughing all throughout it and thoroughly enjoyed it!!
If you like even some of the things I’ve mentioned, YOU SHOULD READ THIS BOOK!! It’s so so good! I highly recommend it and this author, who’s quickly and surely becoming an all time favorite author. 😆😍
