Queen B’s Decree: I went through a phase where I was obsessed with the “teacher/student” trope. Now, it has been a while, but this plot device holds a special place in my heart.
The chemistry between Elijah and Eva was there from page one. I was immediately drawn into their story, hoping for a happy ending. Additionally, the depth of emotion from Eva was refreshing; the character development was well written.
To be honest, I read Teach Me Sweetly so fast – I felt that insane need to see how their story unfolded. Upon reflection, I realize I had to suspend belief; some plot lines aren’t as believable as they seemed. For instance, if you are hired as a substitute teacher for a high school, you wouldn’t keep talking to the 18 year old you meet in a bar. I suppose, for Elijah, knowing his job is temporary would make it easy to rationalize his choices. And I guess that makes it easier for me to let go of the details and focus on the emotions instead.
But I digress.
Teach Me Sweetly was sweet and lovely and hot and sexy and satisfying all at once. And if I’m being brutally honest, I’ve already started my reread. Read #2 is going just as well, by the way, if you were wondering.
My second read by Abby Gale but definitely won’t be my last.
