I didn't like Shane or Isabella and I didn't believe in their chemistry, so while the steamy bits were adequately hot - I just didn't care for the story overall.

A big thank you to NetGalley and Velvet Publishing for the ARC for my honest review. I am a little late as I have been out of the country for the past year with no internet access. I have not read any of J.L. White's books previously. I would rate this book a 4.5. I loved the characters-was a little uncomfortable with the forbidden love-but I can understand it. I would recommend this to most romance readers-but I can see how it could offend some people with the professor/student interest. I was a grad assistant and this was a huge no no and I could have lost my funding. But regardless this was an interesting book and I will read the others as I thought all of the characters were interesting. Have fun and hope you enjoy the book.

Hmmm...no. Not for me. I tried and tried and tried to finish this book but can't bring myself to it.
I don't like the characters, so much that I couldn't care less what happened to them, hence the 'not finishing' part. Especially the male character, he couldn't make one decision, and it was really frustrating. I read 5 or 6 chapters and I felt like they were all the same one. It was like there was one day, repeating itself all along... it was getting really boring and....well, repetitive.

Anyways, this book was not for me.
