As if starting a new job, picking up the reins of a disorganized former colleague, and moving back in with his parents while he saves for a down payment on a house of his own isn't enough, Cecil Trace has just discovered that part of the Art Director's job at the exclusive Linwood Academy is putting on a series of holiday pageants…with the first one celebrating Thanksgiving just three short weeks away.
He's got enough on his hands getting reluctant students ready to wow their parents and the community with their brilliance, and preparing a holiday showing of his own artwork at a local gallery, he doesn't need recalcitrant but brilliant math instructor Reese Cavelli arguing about every little detail.
While Reese understands the new Art Director's urgency, he can't allow Cecil to undermine his authority with the students. Reese can't help being an ass to the new art director, and he knows in part his behavior is due to his own insecurities, but it's also got a lot to do with the fact that the vibrant young artist is so damned sexy in his jeans and bohemian shirts. Every time he comes into contact with Cecil Trace, he finds himself tongue-tied and brusque, unable to think of anything to say that doesn't come out wrong.

Cranberry Pi Linwood Academy Book 1 edition by Lee Brazil Jae Ashley Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
There’s more to Mr. Martindale than meets the eye. When he offers the substitute Art Director position to Cecil, there is actually a very good reason behind it. Cecil in appearance is the typical artist – long golden hair, bohemian clothing, laid back attitude.
Reese? Well, he’s nothing like that. He’s uptight, rigid, a math teacher with strict rules and he’s very lonely. He’s socially inept, which makes everything that much more difficult for him. The first time he and Cecil meet is accidentally running into each other (literally) in the grocery store, where Cecil is wearing “faded denim and a shirt that looked a a lot like his sister’s baby doll pajamas” and where Reese’s reaction is mortifying and rude, even to himself. Then they meet again, at school. And once again, Reese is just incredibly full of attitude that even as he realizes he is coming across as a “callous heartless evil man” he can’t stop it. Oh, Reese, you want to just shake him – come on, already!
But life is never that simple and it’s no different for Reese. He has to have more socially awkward (translate embarrassing) moments. “Because he was, after all, alone. Lonely, even.”
Cecil’s family is supportive and wonderful and his parents adore each other. That is what Cecil wants. He wants someone who will cherish him that he can cherish in return. So why in the world is he still thinking of that aggravating math teacher! Of course, when the two finally kiss, it’s in the wrong place, the wrong time, and the wrong words are taken the wrong way. Misunderstandings cause angst, Reese.
But when they actually have the conversation to straighten out the misunderstanding, Reese, just…awesome. He explains what a kiss is to him and I thought, yes. That is what a kiss should mean.
These two, when they get their acts together, are so lovely. Sex between them isn’t perfectly graceful (searching for a comfortable position, so real life!) and they are funny together. “En garde”, indeed.
The introduction of Reese’s mother explains so much about him, yet still wanted to shake him for his actions. This is a sweet, romantic book with imperfect characters and I didn’t want it to end.
Lee Brazil successfully wrote a story where my strongest reaction was to either strangle the main man or bitch slap him. Then, as the story progressed, there was nothing I could do but to feel for him especially after knowing what he went through growing up.
But let's get back to the story before proceeding with the dissection.
We have on one hand, Cecil Trace, artist, beautiful man and in much need of a lot of money to fulfill his lifelong dream of having his own home and gallery to display his artwork. He is a successful artist in his own right, but of course that means nothing when having to deal with needing a lot of money. He goes back home, gets a job as an art teacher in a private school, and just manages to wreck havoc on his schedule and basically his whole life. What life? Between his job and his painting and packing and dealing with family and the Math teacher? He has no life!
Then we have Reese Cavelli. He is Linwood Academy's math teacher feared by both students and parents. He is unyielding and unforgiving. He is also socially challenged. He does not talk much and when he does, he limits whatever he utters to the job at hand, mainly teaching math. He also has a very short anger fuse and so can be a bit of a jerk when he finally opens his mouth. He is also very shy, so his being socially challenged is not challenging in the least. Figure him out yet?
When Cecil's work goes headon with Reese's math class, of course there is a whole lot of angst, a whole lot of words thrown about, a whole lot of kids looking at the exchange like they would watching a tense tennis match. Things get a little complicated when Reese gets aroused just by seeing Cecil (remember, he is a beautiful man) and gets to act the idealistic jerk when he does open his mouth.
This was an uncomfortable situation brewing between Reese and Cecil and I am here, the reader, wanting to just - ugh! - just do the heck something!
And then something did happen!
And it was like watching an accident happen! I could not tear my eyes off of the unfolding events!
And I was rooting for Reese to just get over the shyness, get over the frustrating drag of history that traumatized him. I just wanted him to feel the happiness that Cecil was obviously willing to provide and well too! Of course, I found myself cheering Cecil on, saying to myself, yes, do that, it will work. Then I cringe and realize, oops! big mistake.
If you still don't get it, well, Cranberry Pi is a read impossible to put down. Sure, there was a lot of frustration my end, but then again, if you read and find out the why of Reese, you'll know why I went on cheering for these two to finally get going and get their HEA.
An HEA they did get but I won't spill the how! D
This is a good book; but do not recommend as one of my favorites. If you are looking for a book to read while taking care of routine household chores then this book will work for that purpose.
