 A Different Blue was a captivating read and one of my more favorite fade to black romances but really this author writes the best romances that have very little spice to it. Which is refreshing to see stories that don't rely on the spice to deliver a powerful story. I was very nervous before reading this book. I never know what to expect with a teacher/student romance pairing. This is also a super slow burn but I really enjoyed how well this book was written. Many times with a teacher/student pairing, there is quite a bit of inappropriate discussions happening. But Amy Harmon really handled this setup so delicately and loved the way the accidental pregnancy was portrayed. It had a very honest approach to it that I found refreshing. I also appreciated how the Native American heritage was handled within this story. I was able to listen to this one in the format of an audiobook, and it was purely delightful to listen to. This author just has the best narrations for her books. They so easily draw you into the story and with how she writes being so slow burn, it's much appreciated there. The more and more that I read from this author, the more I respect this writing style and just want to read more of it.
