These two books follow a love affair of a older women Caroline Verti Wilson and a young Sebastian Hunter and I have to say I wasn't sure if I would enjoy the story but how wrong could I be!  It is an amazing beautifully written love story.Caroline is 30 years old and in a loveless military marriage and Sebastian is 17 years old living with his abusive military parents. Caroline had babysat for a 8 year old Sebastian many years before when they were all stationed on the same base. They meet up again when Caroline and her husband are transferred back to a San Diego Military base. Caroline has no family and has left her friends behind and Sebastian is living his surfer dreams even though its against his fathers wishes. Caroline gets a freelance job as a reporter and her first assignment is Surfers in The Military.What follows is a true love story that spans over many years and it is full of lust, fear, anger, hurt and betrayal. These books will have your emotions rolling all over the place and you will cry as well as laugh as we follow their story.In The Education of Sebastian  we watch a women who knows its wrong to love a boy try and hide her feelings and we watch a boy who can see no wrong in his feelings and the love he feels for her.“I want you, Caro. I want to make love to you. I want to make love to you forever.  My breath caught in my throat.I want that, too. So much.”In The Education of Caroline we watch them meet up again 10 years later both thinking the other had moved on with their life's.  How wrong they are.“He’d asked me once if I was brave enough to take a chance on love. I finally knew the answer.  “I love you, too, Sebastian. More than you’ll ever know.”Will these two ever get their HEA?I loved these books and The Education of Sebastian is worthy of 5 stars but The Education of Caroline is worthy of far more if I could have given these books 10 stars I would have.
