After being away from his hometown of Cedar Creek, Texas for ten years, Dylan Gates returns to open a law practice. As he comes back to resettle, local high school teacher Taylor Reed is leaving soon to attend Oxford on a graduate scholarship.

Dylan is shocked to learn the kind rumors that have spread over what he and Taylor did when they were teens because none of that happened though he wished it did. However, when they see each other for the first time in a decade, Dylan realizes his adolescent dreams remain strong. Taylor decides that since everyone believes they heated the southwest with their ardor; she will do just that before she leaves for England. Using her high school days journal as a guide she leads Dylan on a sexual fantasy that blossoms into love, but he must convince her to give up one dream for a better dream.

RUMOR HAS IT that this is a charming contemporary romance starring a fine hunk and a solid secondary cast. The heroine is the key to the tale, but though readers will like her, her rationalizations seem bizarre (does she really want sex just to substantiate rumors and is the choice Oxford or Dylan?). Still the audience will feel the Texas heat emanating from this affable duo whose romance is a blazing inferno.

Small-town highschool teacher wants to make true the sex rumors about herself & newly-returned Hero when they were back in high school. There is one condition & that their affair be purely a fling b/c she's leaving for Oxford in next few months.

This Myers' book was just blah for me. It started out ok with Hero & heroine showing how they had feelings for each other in high school & still do 10 years later. Then, the romance pretty much died out as they just had sex in different locations. The emotions that Hero & heroine seemed to have at the start of the book got pushed aside & wasn't expanded on as they went through their sexcapade. So, when they begin realizing they were really in love with each other & wanted more of a commitment, I was not convinced.

Slightly recommended for the interesting sex locations but not for the romance.

I'm so happy that I took a chance to read this fun story! Rumor Has It was a lot of fun.
