Veiled Innocence is the story of Mr McKendrick (teacher) and Addison, a student in his class.  I do like a good student/teacher story and this one piqued my interest right away.  The story alternates between past and present. This keeps you on your toes and wondering what happened and gives you glimpses of things to come.  Ella Frank certainly knows how to write some steamy scenes and this story had some that will make you pant. I will admit though that I had a difficult time connecting with Addison. Her pursuit of Mr McKendrick came across as a bit stalkerish. I also didn't "feel" their connection in the beginning. Sure they are both attractive people, but the connection was just luke warm for me.  However, as the story continued and we learned more of what was happening in the present, things begin to come together nicely.Mr. McKendrick and Addison give into their feelings and things begin to unravel and spiral out of control. It's ironic that Mr. McKendrick was able to bring some sort of calm to Addison's life, at the same time causing chaos to his world. Learning more about Addison allowed for a better understanding of her state of mind. I did enjoy the story and definitely wanted to keep reading to find out what was going to happen and how this would play out.  It read like an unfolding mystery which I enjoyed and would definitely recommend! Overall I would give this story 3.5-4 stars.
