3.75 solid, hard stars Wow. I need a few cold showers. This book started off with spice and bang from the get go! It didn't slow down from there. My heart broke for Sean. Seeing his relationship with his dad, how it drives him, and how it hurts him was just heartbreaking. The grieving journey with Matteo was equally heartbreaking. Two men who felt lacking and less than for different reasons coming together and filling in the gaps on the other was just a beautiful journey. The teacher/student relationship was handled well, I think. It was nice to see the student being the aggressor and the teacher trying like hell to resist and just not being able to. It was a sweet story underneath all the sexy, sexy times. I do wish there was more to the blackmail storyline. I felt like the story suffered a little due to all the sexy times going on (I'm not complaining, but it would've been nice to delve into that a bit more). Thank you Lynn for providing me a copy for review consideration.
