A southern girl born, raised, and still residing in Tennessee, she holds the quirks of this area of the world close to her heart, and showcases it in her writing.
She’s a wife, a mother of two, an avid college football fan (Go Vols), a best friend, a sister, a lover of all music, movies, and above all else… a lover of books.
MY REVIEW:
Moody, mysterious and steamy! An age-gap, student-teacher romance thatβs full of intrigue, mystery and sexy romance as Nora embarks on a new path to gain her college degree and leave her traumatic past behind. Itβs an instant connection between her and a mystery man thatβs all sizzle and sweetness. He turns out to be a surprising influence in her life. Tristan is consumed with the young beauty and when she appears in his life he wants her. Itβs a bit of a slow burn between the two when Tristan realizes he needs to treat her with care for many reasons. The slow build to hot love was a sensual ride with this renaissance man and his muse. Tristan was almost too good to be true. Heβs a renown art history professor, an artist, a violin master, a talented cook and a skilled hunk in the bedroom. Not to mention that sexy British accent. Tristan does have a secret that unfolds during the story as does Nora. Both were tragic with a tie to each other thatβs easy to figure out. Nora was a sweet, young beauty thatβs lead an interesting life starting at a young age. Sheβs supported by her bestie, Lucas and his parents. That relationship is a really nice part of the story like Tristanβs second mom, Anna. I didnβt understand Noraβs reluctance at disclosing her secret to Tristan. As the romance grew so did a threat to Nora and the danger took a turn that put lives in peril. Itβs a race to save loved ones and thwart the villain. There was a lot of emotion in the story but not a lot of angst. I really like Tristan and his layers. Nora has a few flaws to me but she was very likable. The romance was a sexy, hot love affair that grew into a real relationship. It was a bit slow in parts for me but overall it was a suspenseful romance full of sensual encounters between a delicious couple in a slightly taboo relationship with a deadly villain that deserved what he got. Worth the read!
