Summary:

A New Adult Romance Novel by New York Times Bestselling Author

Life sucks. And, as soon as Sidney picks up the pieces something always knocks her back onto her butt. It's never pretty, but this time is different. This time pretty isn't even the right word.

Peter is the personification of perfection. It's like he fell off his angel perch in purgatory, because let's face it--any guy that hot has got to be naughty. He was probably sent here to ruin her life.

Peter is beyond beautiful with his sexy blue eyes, dark hair, and toned body. Add in his charming wit and Peter is everything Sidney ever wanted in a man, but when things get hot and heavy Peter shows her the door. Sidney takes the walk of shame and leaves. It's the end of the worst blind date ever. Her life couldn't possibly reach higher levels of suckage, but it does.

The next morning everything comes crashing down. The insanely hot guy from last night, the one that saw her half naked, is teaching at the front of the class room.

This was good! Loved the forbidden professor/college student romance! Peter and Sidney's first meeting will completely hook you. I think it is one of my favorite meet cute scenes ever in a book. Their relationship goes on to develop into so much more and I kept hoping they'd get over their issues and make it work.

Sidney and Peter had their share of baggage and I really felt for them. Since the book is told from Sidney's POV, it was easy to relate to her inner turmoil and try to move on from the horrific things that happened in her past. I could feel her frustration that the one man she's finally able to feel something for was off-limits.

Peter was WOW. I was drooling after the author's descriptions. I would've liked his age since he's a professor, but it wasn't given. His personality was adorable, the swing dancing stuff was really cute.

The one thing that bugged me is the non-ending. SPOILER ALERT Although this is a series, I would've liked a little more resolution (meaning sex lol). This is the second book lately I've read with a totally hot cover where the main characters don't end up doing it.

Another complaint is the name of the baddies are Sam and Dean. Really? I kept picturing this and totally not taking them serious:


Can't wait for the next book! The author has quite a few novels out and I'm going to have to look through them to see what I can read in the meantime.
