Another great book in the Hearts series by L.H. Cosway. I love this series and thoroughly enjoyed this book too. So we have met Stu Cross in the previous books, and in this book we meet him now he has been released from prison and as part of his parole terms, joins Andrea's adult education classes. 
 One thing was for sure: Stu Cross wasn't as predictable as I thought, and even though I was the teacher in this situation, somehow it felt like I'd just been schooled. 
 I loved these two characters throughout the book. There is a spark between these two characters from the very start, and Andrea cannot resist the sexy, naughty, bad boy Stu. But she see's something more in him, she sees through him and even though she know she shouldn't, she cannot resist him. Andrea also has a past which means she struggles to get her head around moving things forward with Stu. Stu on the other hand is in Andrea's classes for a reason, but that reason starts to make things difficult when he starts to fall for Andrea. 
 "I could take or leave the slacks," he breathed, all gravelly. "But those lips and your big brown eyes, now those are what get me all jacked up." 
 This book is thoroughly entertaining, sexy with a dash of drama and heart in the mouth moments. There are also some funny bits and some really tender, special moments too. There are plenty of twists and surprises which keeps the story flowing really well. And that epilogue! Superb - although I did see it coming to some extent! 
 "Stu Cross made me feel alive. So much so that it took him coming into my life to make me realise I hadn't been living." 
 It's great to see some of the other characters from the Cross family too who we have met in some of the previous books! And we also meet Andrea's cousin Alfie who plays a pivotal role in the book, who is a wonderful character. 
 Overall another fantastic book to add to this series! 
 **** 4 solid stars! ****
