What a great, quick read.This isn't your typical teacher / student romance, yes that is the major aspect of the book but the story line has a more emotional edge to it than any other teacher / student story I have ever read.We meet Wrenn, an 18 year old girl who is repeating her senior year after she was an accident that killed her mother, father and brother. After her recovery she moves in with her aunt and uncle and attends the snotty private school were her aunt is the headmistress.The students at the school don't know her circumstances but they choose to bully and hate her because of who her aunt is and the fact that she doesn't come from a family with money. Wrenn does have one good friend in Kassia, who is also an outcast and they have a great friendship.With only weeks until she graduates early, along comes substitute teacher Dalton Reid.Dalton is 23 years old and fresh out of college. His contact at the school is only temporary and he is so glad that it is once he starts to deal with all the hormone crazy teenage girls who do everything in their power to gain his attention.Wrenn and Dalton have an instant connection. It starts out innocent as teacher and student but as they spend some time together, things become flirty and feelings bloom, even though Dalton tries his hardest to deny what is going on.As the couple try and hide their budding relationship, there are jealous teenage brats trying to get in their way and a big secret that Dalton holds.As they fall completely for each other and Wrenn finds out what Dalton's devastating secret is accidentally, emotions take hold and they have to fight for their relationship and make decisions that will affect their futures.I really enjoyed this story line. While yes, it was emotional and they have a lot of obstacles in their way, I loved seeing how they made decisions about how they were going to live their lives and enjoy every moment that they have together. I love how they were willing to sacrifice aspects of their lives and take a stand for the love that they share.Missy did a really good job with Wrenn and Dalton's story. The story line kept you turning the pages hoping that they would get their HEA and even though there is a slight glitch to that HEA, I was thrilled that it worked out the way that it did. What I would really love is a sequel.... the epilogue was great but I would love to see the story continued further into the future.This is definitely a teacher / student romance that you MUST read!
