paddlefoot55 's review for:

Veiled Innocence by Ella Frank
5.0

ARC received for an honest review

When I first read the synopsis for Veiled Innocence, I was not sure what I was going to be reading, but I was intrigue

And wow, Ella Frank has knocked this one out of the park!

Grayson McKendrick and Addison Lancaster's relationship is taboo. There are plenty of books out there with a student/teacher relationship, but nothing I have read compares to Veiled Innocence.

I am still in a bit of a book hangover after reading this book, even though it has been a couple of weeks since I finished it. It is beautifully written, and feels a bit poetic with the references to Cupid and the Psyche, Anne Boleyn. The way the characters relate and compare themselves to these historical and mythical figures draws you right into their world.

Addy and Grayson's relationship just feels perfect. Though not the societal norm due to the illicit nature and their age differences, it just feels right. The heart wants what the heart wants, consequences be damned.

The sexual tension between the pair is off the charts!! From the minute they first see each other the sparks fly.

I love Grayson's dirty mouth. Man, where were the teachers like him when I was at school?!?!?! And Addy is as the title says. On the outside she is all purity and innocence, underneath it all she is all heat and sexuality.

The sexy times - hot hot hot!! Grayson and Addy really know how to burn up the sheets!

I can't really say that I liked any of the secondary characters at all!! Brandon and Jessica are just douchebags! And her parents....pfff yeah they don't really deserve to have that title. Though they were pretty worthless as people, they all added something to Addy's story.

Ella Frank takes us on a journey full of twists and turns, the reader is never quite sure where things are going to go next. We can see that Addy and Grayson are perfect for each other, but will they be able to get to their HEA?

Nope, for that you are going to have to read for yourself.
