No joke, I was squirming in my chair and shoving the book in my hubbies face telling him you have to read this **hint-hint** The intimate moments between our young heroine & teacher are sensual as hell!!!. Each character and event serves a purpose. Her execution is a thing of beauty.įolks, if you are looking for 'Alex what is Angst for 1000?' driven story,, riddled with unnecessary fillers and numerous 'are they fucking or playing twister?' sex scenes, this book is NOT FOR YOU.

instead Kate Belle uses powerful words to convey preciously how a character is feeling. Did I mention I LOVE Kate Belle's writing? She didn't try to paint a scene using ridiculous metaphors, which I never quite understand. The heart of the story centers around human emotions and longing to be fulfilled both sexually and emotionally. I absolutely picked up this book because I love taboo reads but this tale doesn't revolve around a lust crazed teacher-student relationship. I thoroughly enjoyed Kate Belle's pure, realistic and meaningful story.

Many Some readers may disagree with my rating but I can live with that. **5 'Exactly what I was yearning for ' STARS** Each must make a choice, the consequences of which will haunt them until they meet again twenty years later.
