School Ties is the first book that I have read by Tamsen Parker. I was first drawn to this book due to the title alone and the premise of the storyline. Who wouldn’t want to read a forbidden romance brewing student and teacher?
Erin Brewster is fresh out of college and teaching at Hawthrone Hill, an elite all-boys boarding preparatory school. Erin knew that she always wanted to be a teacher at this specific school due to her family association with this school. As the new math teacher, Erin is dedicated in teaching her students but there is one student that has caught her eye.
Zach “Shep” Shepherd is a senior and is ready to get high school over with. As the months progress, Zach soon becomes Erin’s favorite student but this student/teacher duo never crossed any lines to blur their relationship. Fast forward to several years later, Zach is now a teacher at his former alma mater and his favorite teacher, Erin is also still there.
The attraction and sexual chemistry that was there years before is still there but this time, Zach is no longer the innocent student but instead he has now acquired a few sexual taste and proclivities. His sexual appetite now wants to claim his beloved Calculus teacher, Erin. So will the former student be the one teaching his teacher a new lesson plan of sexual fantasy and control?
School Ties was one of those slow burn story that was layered with eroticism and a forbidden aspect. While I enjoyed reading the chemistry dynamic of Erin and Zach, I wish the author was able to pull me emotionally into the story line. My only dislike of this book was the way Erin was written. She came off to be to be a little whinny for my taste and so I was glad that Zach was able to off balance her character when he took charge. Overall, this book was an enjoyable forbidden romance that incorporated angst, drama, and BDSM.
