One of my favorite teacher romance novels. This book is just so well written that it tethers on the edge of cheesy or cliche but doesn’t cross it. I love that the FMC was financially stable post divorce and was emotionally stable enough to not go back to her ex. Also, I love the Richardson family dynamics.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 11%.
Storytelling was poor and the plot wasn’t good either.

A quick and thrilling read. It felt like reading a gossip blog. I went from confused to shocked to surprised and finally settled on disbelief. Just when you thought someone couldn’t stoop so low, they did. The storytelling could be better but the plot was good.

A good read about faes, fairies and magical creatures and islands but it ended too abruptly for me. Instead of splitting it into parts, the story could have continued. Also, the X rated scenes were well written.

Quite a short and easy read. Not the usual Nalini Singh style but it’s worth reading.

I have read other fairy books but this one takes the cake. It was impossible to put down and I read the other books in the series quickly.
