As you know, I don't read synopsis before I read a book.  I like to be surprised.  I just knew it was an Ella Frank book, so I knew I would love it.It did not disappoint.  This is not your usual love story with sex all over.  It's a mysterious deep emotional gut-wrenching love story.Addison is broken inside.  After a heartbreaking tragedy that she feels guilty for.  Her parents blame her for the tragedy too.  She feels the need to be "perfect" to make up for it.Everything is going fine until she sees HIM.  Mr. McKendrick, her new History teacher. She must have him. (Don't worry, Addison is 18 years old!)Grayson McKendrick moved back home to be near his ailing father.  He gets a job as a History teacher at the high school.  He's not looking for love.  But that all changes when he sees HER.This story is very written in the present and looking back to the past.  Addison has an issue with time and being on time TICK, TICK, TOCK.... You can just hear the tick tocking as you are reading the story.  Is keeps her grounded and calm....Tick, Tick, Tock.... it keeps her focused on reality.  She realizes that she doesn't hear the tick tock when she's with Grayson.  She's calm with just him.Grayson tries to fight his feelings...............ok - I better stop right there.  I'm going to say too much.The story grabs you from the beginning.....There's a whole mystery as to what happened to Grayson.  You must keep reading it to find out.One of the hidden treasures of this story is Doc.  I had an image of him in my head and when Addison described him, it's EXACTLY who I had in my head!!!  Doc, I believe, truly believed that Addison had found her true love.I loved the references to Pysche Revived by Cupid's Kiss and the deadly purple flowers!  SOOO deep.
