Holy mother! I am still trying to pick my jaw and heart up off the floor! 18 year old Olivia Stevens has had a massive crush on her maths teacher, Jamie Matthews, for six excruciating years. With her final year of school coming to an end in just three weeks, she is sad that she won't see him again after that. Sad that they could never be together. Until one day in detention she realizes he has a crush on her too. After just one kiss the fire between them is scorching. But Olivia doesn't want to risk him being fired or being expelled, she puts a halt to the physical aspect of their relationship. They agree to wait to have sex till after prom, when school is officially over. Can they really keep their hands off each other for three weeks?The first 2/3 of this book is incredibly sweet and sexy. I absolutely love Jamie - he is the perfect loving and attentive boyfriend. Those three weeks that they spent time getting to know each other was great to read. And not sleeping together was definitely a challenge I enjoyed. Their couple of "almosts" were so damn hot. Once prom arrives, everything starts going to s*** for poor Olivia. They do end up getting a few days together and then tings get worse.The last 1/3 of the book had me on my toes. Things seemed to be spiraling out of control. There is a threat to Olivia's life and I didn't know who to trust. I'd like to say things with her and Jamie were good, but they were far from it. And then Olivia makes some decisions that had me yelling at my Kindle. I kind of hated her for them. There are twists and turns toward the end that I somewhat anticipated but still left me shocked.This was a crazy ride of sweet love, heartache and deception and I can't wait for the second installment of this trilogy. The ending left me both angry at Olivia and sad for her at the same time and I only hope she can rebuild after all of this.Read this and other reviews at [...] I received an ARC in exchange for my honest review.
