Lilley\u2019s other series, including cameos from the <i>Up in the Air<\/i> and <i>Wild Side<\/i> series and, more recently, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/?p=71649\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i>Tyrant<\/i><\/a>, which I absolutely loved!<\/p>\n<p>Carter North is a high school English teacher (and secret romance writer) who is shocked to discover that a series of anonymous sexy texts he has recently received have been sent by one of his students. Nova Monroe is gorgeous, but way too young for him (she is 18, he is 30), and she\u2019s a student. He\u2019s never even looked at one of his students in that way before, but Nova\u2019s forwardness tempts him like nothing else.<\/p>\n<p>Things start to get inappropriate when Nova is kicked out of home, and Carter offers her a room at his house. He intends to keep things strictly platonic, but Nova has other ideas. She is infatuated with her professor and pleads with him to take her virginity. He puts up a fight for a little while, but the lusty feelings are all too overwhelming, and they soon embark on a steamy forbidden affair.<\/p>\n<p>Holy. Freaking. Smut. This book is seriously steamy, and quite kinky with a dom\/sub feel in the bedroom that includes control, filthy talk, degradation and name calling. It\u2019s all very consensual, but it\u2019s pretty intense, and gave me the feeling that the relationship between the two of them is more lustful obsession than actual love.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a messy situation that gets messier, and there is some drama, but there is a happy ending for these two.<\/p>\n<p>I wasn\u2019t too sure what to think about this book. The writing is different from Lilley\u2019s usual emotive stories &#8211; it moves quickly, with little emotional build-up, the characters don\u2019t have much substance, and I didn\u2019t feel invested like I usually do with her books. Which is probably why it didn\u2019t really feel like a romance to me. They were obsessed with each other, and that\u2019s pretty much all I felt.<\/p>\n<p>It was an ok read. Not what I was expecting, and after loving every moment of <i>Tyrant<\/i>, this one missed the mark for me.<\/p>\n<p>2 stars.<\/p>\n<p><i>An Advanced Review Copy was generously provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><strong>Meet R.K.
