Blurb
I've broken him, bent him, and burned him, and each fevered moment was worth every ounce of pain.Auburn Lawrence has loved her English teacher, Reed West, since she was fourteen. Through brainstorming stories, reading classic literature, and plenty of fiery banter, they've forged a bond that neither of them expected.
Propelled by a chance encounter after her graduation, they discover just how deep their connection runs, but love requires more than chemistry to flourish. They spend three electrifying summer months discovering each other under a veil of forbidden passion and desperate lust before they learn that the unattainable is often destined to remain exactly that.
By the time temperatures dip and snowflakes fly, their relationship will face a deep freeze that threatens to snap the bond they thought they shared, shattering their lives one secret at a time.

*Copy provided by the author in exchange for an honest review*
Adriane Leigh delivered an intense and emotional love story, in this heart wrenching, forbidden romance. This book is a page turner...once you start, there's no turning back. You'll be flipping pages to another. The story with the tale of two people who gets a second to meet, but this time it felt different to lay eyes on each other. It was somehow with electrifying, magnetic pull, that they could not seem to get away from. Two people who knew each other from the pasts and present collide in an igniting and unexpected way as they discover the feelings they had been holding out on and to fall in love under intense and forbidden circumstances. They both had to hide in public to consume each other, to feel the need they had both tried to ignore. It was a rough ride for them, but somehow the growing feelings they both had for each other that they once thought could just be an affair, ends up in something else, so much more and so much deeper than they thought possible. They made the story of their lives seem like it's all Carpe diem...took what they can get before it all blows up in their faces when the truth comes out in the public eyes.
