“I’m not one of your little boys that can be led around by their c***.  Now.  Leave”Veiled Innocence (stand-alone) is a story about a forbidden affair between senior high school student, Addison Lancaster, Addy and her world history teacher Grayson McKendrick.  It opens up in present time, two weeks after Addison’s admittance to Pine Grove Psychiatric Facility.  Why and what exactly happened will unfold with story.Set against the backdrop of a ticking clock we follow them via flashbacks from both Addison and Mr. McKendrick’s POVs from right before their first meeting and through Addison’s relentless and persistent seduction of her teacher.  Mr. McKendrick is trying to keep Addison at a distance while fighting his attraction to her, but is not to succeed.Both have a history and it’s evident they are kindred spirits.  Their attraction is electric, the build-up mesmerizing and the affair that follows inevitable, compulsive yet tragic.  It pushes boundaries!  How can what should and cannot be, seem so perfect?“F*** I was in heaven. I was also aware that I was pretty damn close to being assured a spot in hell.”GRAYSON McKENDRICK: 32 years/History teacher/Light brown hair/Brown eyes/TattooSix words to describe Grayson McKendrick: Complex, conflicted, passionate, reflective, perceptive and possessive.ADDISON LANCASTER, “Addy”: 18 years/High school Sr./Track team/Dark brown hair/Blue eyesSix words to describe Addison Lancaster, Addy: Determined, relentless, smart, broken, obsessive and captivating.Veiled Innocence kept me on my toes until the very last page.  I was captivated by them both as well as their story.  The ending was alright, but I’d welcome a glimpse into the future; a bonus epilogue fast forward a few years.Spectacular! Thought-proving! Poignant!  Enchanting!“While Grayson brought peace and calm to my life, I brought worry and chaos to his.”***Hero rating: 4 starsHeroine rating: 5 starsSexual tension rating: 5 starsSex scenes rating: 5 starsSex scenes frequency: 4 starsPlot rating: 5 starsDialogue rating: 5 starsStorytelling rating: 5 starsStory ending rating: 3.5 starsBook editing rating (5 = no edits spotted): 4.5 stars************************************************Overall rating: 4.5-5 starsWould I recommend this book: Yes.Would I re-read this book: Maybe later.Would I read future books by this author: Yes.
