Josephine “Joe” Hart does what she has to in order to survive. She’s gone to college all on her own while also holding down a job that allows her to make enough to pay for it. Ransom Scott starts out as a mystery but then the reader gets a surprise.
We have Joe’s story here. She has a relationship with a man who seems to like the shadows until they are alone. Then she gets the surprise of her life. Working in an academic setting, I probably see her relationship a little differently than most. But then you remember this is pure fantasy. There were times where I actually wanted to know what Ransom was thinking – get his point of view. I do have to say that when I was going to college I didn’t think of any of my professors the way it was portrayed here – no hunks in my classes.
I don’t know if it was intentional or not, but I felt that before they knew who the other was there seemed to be more steam. Heat level went down a little once discoveries were made. It’s like we have two different personas going on – when on campus and off campus. Felt like a light switch being turned off and on. But isn’t that one of the reasons to turn the page because you want to know how this is going to end – especially when the author drops a bomb that just may have you drop your jaw.
I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
