Misconduct surely got my vote! I love how it deals with several topics like family issues, career paths, modern education, etc.. aside from its forbidden romance. It's complex, entertaining, and well written. The characters got the angst and sexiness, which I also love.

Their sweet moments are indeed passionate and it gave me butterflies. . Overall, I really love this book. The plot is well developed and I love that little twist in the end.
