As you know I am a lover of student/teacher romance and I really enjoy this book by Sheila Grace.  I actually was lucky enough to pick up this one for free.  I've never read this author before and I wanted to give it a chance.  This was sort of student/teacher.  It was a college freshman and her calculus TA.

I’ve been going back into books that I have had for a long long long time and reading them and this book is one of them.  I added the cover of the book I read.  The cover has been updated but this is the paperback book I have that I read and I wanted to share that cover with you.  The publisher may have even changed or at least changed their name but this is the book that I have and what I am sharing with you.

I LOVE student/teacher books!  Some of them are my favorite reads of all time.  I do not know how I missed this one?  I freaking loved it!!! This was the definition of a great student/teacher novel.  I’m still kicking myself for not knowing about this book for as long as I did.  Thank you to my book friends for the suggestion!

Cruelty, Heartbreaking, Happy ending

I have wanted to read this book for a very long time and I’m so glad that I finally picked it up and started reading.  I was thrown off by the warning and a little nervous about the heavy material.  However, the cover just grabbed me.  This was just a beautifully written story.  The situations and experiences that Nicole goes through are so heartbreaking.

Struggle, mesmerized, endearing  

Blurb:

How did my life get so broken?  It’s a question Lacey St. James asks herself every day. Stuck raising her little brother in a trailer park while she works a dead end job at a grocery store, she has a stalker ex-boyfriend, a bad reputation, and no way out.

And then she meets Everett, whose presence changes her entire existence.

Everett is an outsider to her small community, in town for the summer house-sitting one of the grand mansions off the Mississippi coast. When he saves her in a bar one night, she’s grateful but wary of his intentions. Lacey doesn’t trust most men in her life, but for reasons Lacey she understand, Everett is completely captivated by her. He’s determined to show her that life can offer more than she’d ever hoped for, if only she believes in herself. As she works with him to free herself, Lacey desperately yearns to trust him, to move on and perhaps start fresh.

But what happens when she finds out that everything he’s told her about himself was a lie?
