We want to start by saying this is not your typical student/teacher story. It goes much deeper than a crush or infatuation. Veiled innocence is told from Addison and Mr McKendricks POV and also switches between past and present. We don't mind past and present chapters as long as the story flows from one to the other and doesn't disconnect, despite the shifts the chapters all flowed and tied together well.We both enjoy dual POV books but this was different, it was easy enough to adjust to but felt a little disconnected. As for the past and present entries they were killing us. We can see why Ella chose to write it the way she did. We just wanted more, we were greedy for information.Tick, tick, tock...Addison (Addy) is 18 and about to start her senior year, she is known as the golden girl of the school and is very popular, people tend to tread lightly around Addy. She has been through a lot. She just so happens to be dating the golden boy, Brandon, these two together rule the school. Addy and Brandon have a high sexual appetite and a quickie before her first class will change her life forever.Addy is late for her first class she doesn't like to be late and is a little stressed. Walking into her classroom that stressed faded away when she landed eyes on her new world history teacher. 32 year old Mr McKendrick.  She was smitten, how could this gorgeous man be her teacher, the wheels had been set in motion the more she watched him throughout the class, the more attraction she felt.Mr McKendrick has come to Denver for personal reasons. This sexy teacher is surprised when in walks a late student, Addison, there is something about this student that he finds curious.“I looked at her- she looked at me. My ending, staring right at me from the very beginning.”Addy is a confident and as ruthless as they come. She goes for what she wants and won’t stop until she succeeds. What she has set her sights on is forbidden fruit...“Flirting to me was like breathing to everone else, and I always made sure I had their attention when I put on a show.”Temptation is a dangerous thing, when temptation is handed to you on a platter it makes it very hard to say no, regardless of the consequences.During the beginning 40% of the book we were constantly questioning ourselves, wondering if this book was going to answer any of our questions. Just when you think you are getting some information, new things pop up. Bravo Ella on a book that had us guessing right until the end. We love everything you write and this certainly didn’t let us down.
