Layla Robinson is not crazy. She is suffering from unrequited love. But it's time to move on. No more stalking, no more obsessive calling. What she needs is a distraction. The blue-eyed guy she keeps seeing around campus could be a great one--only he is the new poetry professor--the married poetry professor. Thomas Abrams is a stereotypical artist--rude, arrogant, and broody--but his glares and taunts don't scare Layla. She might be bad at poetry, but she is good at reading between the lines. Beneath his prickly façade, Thomas is lonely, and Layla wants to know why. Obsessively. Sometimes you do get what you want. Sometimes you end up in the storage room of a bar with your professor and you kiss him. Sometimes he kisses you back like the world is ending and he will never get to kiss you again. He kisses you until you forget the years of unrequited love; you forget all the rules, and you dare to reach for something that is not yours. New Adult Romance, Contemporary Romance, Student-teacher Romance, Forbidden Romance, Age-gap Romance, Angsty Romance, College Romance.

truly the most disgusting sex scenes I've ever read nope no thank you
not to mention the professor/student relationship is taboo but can be done well - this is NOT. Thomas is aggressive and pushy and borderline abusive (at one point Layla tells him to stop what he's doing twice and he doesn't). her being a virgin & tight & having her vagina ruined by him is played up way too much and blaaahhh no I cannot
This is a pretty cover. Good representation of the heroine. Great composition. Nice title work.
So I am going to try and put into words how very much I LOVED this book. I am sure that whatever I say here will not even come close to expressing my feelings. I think it is safe to say that this is my favorite read of the year so far. And it has cheating...go figure!
It was fantastically well written and paced. The plot was multilayered and complex. It was harsh. It was dirty. It was ugly. It was about the forbidden. It was heartbreaking. It was about love lost and found again. It had smokin' hot sex scenes. It was beautiful. It was hopeful. It was about forgiveness of both yourself and others. It was about acceptance. It was about bravery and fearlessness. Lastly, it was filled with complicated and well-developed characters that will pull just about every different emotion from you.
Honestly what more can I say other than READ IT. Two HUGE thumbs up from yours truly.
