If you love a forbidden romance, then I would I highly recommend this book. It was a very touching emotional roller-coaster ride and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Lizzie Brandt was afraid of commitment so she sleeps with anyone who is willing, from every party she's been too. She was a party animal when she got to college. BUT when she graduated high school, she was a valedictorian and received a scholarship to Radleigh University. When something tragic happens, she has to rethink the way she's been living irresponsibly. She has to take care of her two brothers, so, partying and sleeping around isn't looking so good for her. She is failing a couple of her classes, since she has to maintain good grades to keep her scholarship, she has to find someone to help her pass these classes she needs help with. One of her friends come to the rescue. And that's where Connor comes in. He is a Teachers's Assistant and is one HOT human being.
Connor can't seem to help himself when it comes to Lizzie. He could not take his eyes away from her. He always wants to come to her rescue when a problem arises. It seems to be happening to Lizzie, quite often. Who's there to catch her without hesitating? Ofcourse, the hot TA himself. He's a great babysitter, chauffer and maybe a good boyfriend? (winks) I could not for the life of me, forget about Connor once I was done reading this book.
Lizzie becomes more mature and turns her life around to be a better person for her two young siblings. She has Connor to guide her in the right direction and also her godmother Nancy. I could not imagine what I would've done, if had I been in her shoes. She is a one tough chick if you asked me. Changing her entire life was the best way to raise her brother and I loved it. From partying, smoking and one night stand, all left in the past without turning back. What a great debut, Dahlia Adler. I am looking forward to reading more of your writing.
