Independently, these five words don’t mean much. Put them
together and you have a perfect description of drool-worthy Lucas. He’s smart,
he’s sexy, he funny, and he’s a gentleman. What more could you possible ask
for?
Jacqueline’s talented, beautiful, and hurting from her
breakup with her longtime boyfriend.
When Lucas saves Jacqueline from an attack at a party, their lives
become intertwined in a way they never saw coming.
Lucas is Landon, only Jacqueline doesn’t know that. Lucas is
tutoring her via email in economics. Lucas is the dreamy guy in her class that
saved her from the attack. Lucas hangs out with her, drugs her with kisses and
passion. Landon flirts via email and helps her with economics. She likes them
both. How can she choose between them? What will happen when she finds out
Landon is Lucas? Can they survive the fallout? What happens when the university
finds out Landon is having a relationship with someone in the class he tutors?
Will Lucas ever trust Jacqueline with his secrets?
This was a fun and fast read. It was fun to watch the
relationship blossom between Lucas/Landon and Jacqueline. The emails and text
messages were cute and the flirting was fun. I like that Lucas had secrets and
while the secrets are difficult and heart-wrenching, it’s doesn’t make him
abusive towards others. If anything, it makes him protective of others. It makes
him want to help others be safe.
Jacqueline was a great MC. She’s the typical college
student. There’s nothing completely earth shattering in her life that would
mess her up. Her parents aren’t the greatest, but they’re not bad parents. Just
a bit oblivious.
Ms. Webber did a great job of dealing with some of the more
difficult issues in this book. It wasn’t glazed over, but it also wasn’t forced
on you. It’s just part of the story and what makes Jacqueline who she is and
what makes Lucas who he is.
The passion between Jacqueline and Lucas burns hot. It’s
obvious in the book that Lucas wants to go further but he convinces Jacqueline
to ask him to stop. He knows if she didn’t, he would keep going and that would
be bad for them both.
The ending was wonderful! I was very pleased with the happy
outcome. The challenges these two faced when Lucas graduated from university is
the same challenge many couples face. The resolution was wonderful, expected,
but wonderful!
