![]() ![]() Definitely heart rending.Īll in all the writing was pretty good for fan fiction. Granted the angst that developed was great. I wanted their relationship to move them in a different direction early. But Jensen stuck to his life choice for too long for me. The relationship that developed between the two men was well done. Jared taking a job as a driver/protector for the high end prostitute Jensen was fine. ![]() Still I just don't love the porn star theme. So I read this more as straight fiction than fan fiction per se. I know they are the leads in Supernatural and that's about it. I don't have a ton of background knowledge about the two actors this fan fiction is written about. But it definitely falls into a trope that I really just don't like and doesn't have enough in it to redeem it for me to a great book. There were some things to like about this fan fiction, the relationship connection between Jared and Jensen was palpable. ![]()

Compared to her previous work, watching over handsome but impulsive Alex shouldn’t be especially difficult.

Following Spoiler Alert, Olivia Dade returns with another utterly charming romantic comedy about a devil-may-care actor-who actually cares more than anyone knows-and the no-nonsense woman hired to keep him in line.Īlexander Woodroe has it all. ![]() ![]() And there is a third narrator added, labeled “Interlude” and I shan’t give away who it is, but you do find out/figure it out by the end of the novel. In addition, Nassun, the daughter that “you” are rushing after to find and save, takes up a spot as narrator. Now that we know that, this book continues from the “present” day POV, that of Essun, or “you,” as it’s still written in second person.

I shouldn’t be spoiling anything for this book, but I’m gonna just assume that you’ll only read this review super closely if you’ve already read the first book (or at least know what it’s about). Now, let me warn you that there are likely (read: definitely) going to be spoilers for the The Fifth Seasonin this review. I have no excuse other than being distracted by other books and the inevitably-too-fast passing of time. ![]() ![]() ![]() Alright, it’s taken me months to get to reading this sequel. ![]() ![]() While I never want to yuck yums, as someone who has worked in a high school and done instruction at other levels, those are usually hard limits for me, with some exceptions - they’re both consenting adults and there are no power dynamic issues. ![]() One romantic pairing that has been a point of conflict and contention for romance readers and people who engage with media across the board is the idea of the student/teacher relationship. Either way, there is something about teachers and other educators falling in love that sets these stories apart from ones that don’t center weird, passionate people who have very specific interests in the future of education, their topics of study, and the people they get to work with every day. Their role as a teacher could take center stage in the story, or it might be that it’s more of a central element of their personality, but the classroom isn’t as important in the romance. ![]() They could be grade school teachers or college professors or instructors of another nature. ![]() There are a lot of educators in romance novels. ![]() ![]() His wit and unapologetic idealism disarm and spark renewed life into her-until she discovers that he’s completely unavailable.

In fact, she’s nursing a hopeless crush on a colleague and Fox is just the person to help with her lackluster love life. She knows he’s a notorious ladies’ man, but they’re definitely just friends. ![]() Now, Hannah’s in town for work, crashing in Fox’s spare bedroom. But he likes her too much to risk a fling, so platonic pals it is. She’s immune to his charm and looks, but she seems to enjoy his… personality? And wants to be friends? Bizarre.
