Yes, it ends on a cliffhanger (it seems like every book under the sun does these days!!!) but it is so worth checking it out! There are several scenes that had me laughing out loud. It is the perfect mix of being naive and wise beyond her years. Cadence is a senior in HS whose personality is quite the conundrum (or dichotomy as the hero Mark describes it). Melissa: Good is sooooooo GOOD!!!!! Yes it is a tried and true teacher falls for student theme but this book delivers and it is the heroine that sells the story to its fullest. With this one? I held off for weeks, ’cause while the subject matter was right up my alley, and I was receiving some very convincing recommendations, I struggled like mad with the character’s age.

Taboo, yes, but not such a big issue for me, in the grand scheme of “right and wrong”. In those, what we are dealing with is more of a social/regulatory standard (influence of power issues, potential for biased grading and an overall disruption in the student body if it was ever to be discovered). I’ve always played it safe with the student-teachers, choosing to read only the “college-aged” versions (after all, they were all consenting adults – so the taboo aspect was cut in half). I’ve been avoiding it, ’cause it took risqué (in this genre) to another level and I was nervous. A student-teacher romance book that dares to explore the more… taboo parts. This is the ultimate “forbidden love” story. MARYSE’S SURPRISE FROM HER FAVORITE BOOK BOYFRIEND’S.ALL MY REVIEWS (ALPHABETICAL BY AUTHOR).
