Book hoarders as best known for well... hoarding books. I am guilty of it and so you could imagine the stacks that continue to pile up on my to- be- read list. And every once in a while, there are those books that I've let sit, collecting digital dust in my e-reader that turn out to be abso-friggin-lutely amazing. So out of this world amazing that I am still berating myself for waiting so long to read it-- even more, for waiting to read it on an airplane stuck next to an older fellow, deep within the friendly skies.Veiled Innocence by Ella Frank is the ultimate book of seduction. WOW, WOW, WOW!!! I have read many teacher/student books which I have loved but Ella has taken this one to the ultimate experience. I was incessantly squirming away in my seat, gulping down the massive amount of saliva pooling in my mouth. I confess that this had me melting into a puddle of raging hormones.Lolita has no chance against the female protagonist of this book, Addy. She is the ultimate temptress- blindingly beautiful with a body made to be admired and a natural sensual aura that brings men to both their knees. Physically domineering but incredibly frail emotionally. Addison’s is a walking contradiction and Ella Frank does a wonderful job playing with both sides giving us a full understanding of Addy’s character. Greyson had no chance against Addy- once she had her eyes set on him, there was no turning back. The way that Addy lured him in was mouthwatering, I swear to you that you will be left with your breath hitching and your legs squeezed tightly.And beneath all of the sensual power in this book, Ella Frank’s creativity is not to be missed. The tick tock of the clock, appears many times throughout the pages and hold such great meaning. From the first page of this book, you are held captive wanting nothing more than to find out how Addy got to where she is and the flashbacks are so well done that you don’t find yourself lost at any time. The need between Greyson and Addy though massive in the physical aspect, also goes beyond. They really do need each other, the yin to the yang. Without the other, they would continue to meander through life hopelessly broken.The writing flowed like a smooth, glistening stream on a spring morning. Incredibly refreshing and addicting. I recommend this book to everyone and anyone and this is definitely one of my top reads this year. Amazing!
