Oh, what a tangled web we weave, Ms. Masters.Willow Masters has a problem. She's in love with her professor, Ebon Daniels, who also happens to be her sister's boyfriend. When Sage, Willow's sister, betrays her to Ebon, Willow tells one little lie. A lie that snowballs into quite the chain of events which involves lots of sex and duplicity.Teaching Willow is told from both Willow's and Ebon's POVs. It added so much to the character development as well as the tension. Willow seems smart, but shy and unsure of herself. She has some sort of history, that once revealed, may help to explain her actions. But one thing's for sure, she's desperately in love with Ebon. So she's willing to take the opportunity given to her to spend time with him. In getting to know Willow, I could see where she was coming from. Ebon, however, is more self-aware, as we see in his internal dialog. Reading his internal debates was enlightening. Knowing his thoughts only made his actions more delicious!Teaching Willow is like seeing an impending train wreck...I knew it's going to be tragic but I couldn't help but continuing to read. It kept me biting my nails throughout. I worried about the decisions Willow was making, trying to understand her logic and fraught with tension over how it's all going to work out. I'm hooked, Ms. James, and I'm oh so glad I have a short wait for the next session! ;)
