2.5 stars, if I could.I liked the blurb of this one, even though the premise was a bit trite - virginal uni student falls for hot, much older TA. A few pages in, you find out that there is more to the TA than initially meets the heroine's eye, so there is opportunity to do something interesting and different. Were it well written, it could have been a great story. Unfortunately, to me, it came across as a first-time effort by someone with quite a young voice. It wasn't terrible, but there were enough things that bothered me that I never managed to reach the end, flicking pages from half-way and bailing by three-quarter time.The heroine uses quite a lot of profanity that doesn't really seem to add to the story. She has a very young voice and, at times, is quite annoying. (And I read a lot of NA, so I'm used to profanity and young voices.) The much older hero (ten years age difference) also gets to express his viewpoint, so there is an opportunity to introduce a more mature perspective, but this never really happens. Instead, the hero comes across as rather immature, too.Whilst there is a strong physical attraction between the two, it takes quite a while for any real action to occur. When it does, it's not particularly steamy, though this is what I was expecting, given the suggestive cover art.So, in summary, it was just too much work for me and a bit too forgettable. Hopefully, you will find otherwise.
