Under The Peaches by Shana Vanterpool
5.0

Shana Vanterpool has become one of my favorite authors and I love reading her work. Her latest release, Under the Peaches, is my favorite to date. #ilovejulien

Julien is a teacher that all of the girls are crushing on. Kaelyn is just trying to get through school and graduate. She is invisible by everyone except the bullies. Her life up to this point has been difficult and things are about to get worse before they get better. Julien wants to save her, but can he? Will they find something in each other that goes beyond the hallowed halls of the school?

I warn you that there are a couple of places where you will need tissues. As with many of Shana's books, this one pulls at the emotional heartstrings and makes my anxiety soar - in a good way. One of the things that I loved about the book is the way the author tackled a tough subject. She didn't shy away from it, and if anything it is a punch to the gut. Sadly, it is something that has happened in our schools and out in public. I applaud her for writing this the way she did.

The characters are well written and are perfectly imperfect. Mr. Ean/Julien is an alpha male that isn't your typical alpha male. He wants to protect what's his and is willing to fight the world for it, but he has his flaws too. It is in his flaws that he becomes everything Kaelyn needs and more. It's also what makes him a great book boyfriend. I loved this book and Julien is probably my favorite male character from this author. It is a must read. 5 stars and one click today!

I can't wait for the next book in this series!
