Book Worms was given this book as an ARC for an honest review.We gave this book 4 stars.This book review was left by Hazel Hill a Book Worms Reviewer.Thank you Hazel.Review of Academy of loveThis book was given to me as a ARC for an honest review.I want to start this review with praise for the writing and editing. It is a bug bear of mine when Authors have good stories and great characters etc but spoil it with typos and sentences that don't make sense etc. The quality of writing in this book is very high and I didn't find one mistake. This alone deserves a star.This is the story of Cassiana and Lawrence. Cassiana attended Lewiston academy, a exclusive private girls school with renowned riding facilities. As a post graduate she stayed on to work on her Olympic riding career with Lawrence as her trainer. The two began a. Passionate affair. Through miscommunication, deceit and meddling parents the two parted leaving them both heartbroken.14 years later sees Cassie as Lawrence calls her return to the academy, no longer a heartbroken young girl but a sophisticated, experienced woman ready to take on the role as deputy headmistress. Leaving behind an ex boyfriend and a life which should have been fulfilling In Italy Cassie is chasing something she doesn't like think about, that something that has been missing since Lawrence left her.In the whirlwind of activity caused by packing up her life in Italy, Cassie neglects to read the brochures filling her in on all the new developments of the school she left behind. She wishes she had when upon arriving at the school she is blindsided by Lawrence's presence.Lawrence cannot deny the attraction he feels upon seeing Cassie again and can't stop himself from acting on it when he confronts her later but there has been 14 years of mistrust built up and the two can't easily forget the pain they both felt despite the attraction.It's two steps forward and two steps back with these two and it takes a family emergency for the two to realise that what they feel is bigger than the past.The chemistry between the two is amazing and the sex scenes are sensual and hot without being overly explicit.I also loved the equestrian element, if you love horses you'll love this side of the book. It almost brought a tear to my eye, (in a good way) when Lawrence surprises Cassie with a blast from her past.I award this book a solid 4 star rating.
