Beautiful Mistake

Eeeep what a truly wonderful read. Loved it! And what I loved most, was that I got so much more than i expected.I was expecting a teacher/student romance, the kind that's packed with taboo stuff (which the I don't read that much of come to think of it) but crikey did I get an amazing story that was perfectly balanced & so fluid in it's writing, that I was swept along on this perfect wave of gorgeousness, laughing, drooling & clutching my kindle as I feel in love with these fabulous characters & their crazy story of love, hope & happiness.Soooo enter Professor Caine West & Rachel. Although it is student/teacher taboo, Rachel is an older student at 25 & Caine is the professor in his early 30's. If you don't usually dig this sort of thing, i personally felt it worked really well & yeah although it has the premise of taboo I didn't really get that vibe that much.Rachel is gorgeous, even with a past that has left it's mark. She is firecracker feisty, sassy & super smart, all while being a really sweet human being. Like every other strong woman I've loved, she also has a wicked side & I thought she made a fantastic little temptress in all her sultry, devious ways. I loved her smart mouth & although at times I felt she was a tad immature, knowing how hot/cold Caine was at certain moments, I figured she was entitled to be a bit stroppy in places.As for Professor West.. HmmmmMmmmm now this is a man I could have worship me any day. Yeah alpha & all that blah, but he is like my favourite chocolate, so delicious & sinful on the outside, but as soon as i bit into him - damn he's all soft, gooey & divine on the inside. He is sexy smart, charmingly funny & has enough of an edge to make sure you know he is all man & has a sinful dominant streak. But above all that goodness, he's caring, giving & very lovable. His past has 100% shaped him, but not in a good way & that made my heart ache for him at times. This man just needs to allow his heart to love & be loved..A new semester, a new professor & a whole new set of rules begin & wow, we have sparks flying, currents pulsing & enough sexual tension you can cut it with a knife. From start to finish their connection was on fire & gloriously addictive. It was so easy to get lost in their words, which made it simply impossible to put down. The fun, angst, heartache, drama was all relevant & well placed & none of it was an effort or unnecessary. Instead it added depth & understanding leading to the BIGGEST bloody plot twist EVER. Ohhhhhhh sneaky much!! I never, not one little bit saw it coming until THAT moment & gawd it was like a sucker punch. It transformed this sexy, fun taboo read into something with meaning & a whole lot of heart ache.Vi once again delivered another mesmerizing book, filled with the best kind of emotions that grace any amazing romance read. Loved every single bit!!

I bought this a few months ago because i have really enjoyed this authors books in the past.This one starts with Rachel out at the bar she works at with her friend Ava, consoling her friend after finding out that the guy she's been seeing for the last month or so is married with three kids. Rachel sees the guy in the bar and has a stern word with him...or maybe she told off the wrong guy. The next day she's late to her music lecture, where she's also meeting the new Professor for the first time and letting him know she'll be his TA. Professor Caine West just happens to be the same she told off last night and if the sexual tension between them wasn't bad then, then working under him now is going to throw some challenges at them.I was drawn into this quickly. I was intrigued by the dynamic of the two main characters. The mystery of not when would they do the deed - because it was obvious they would! - but how long would it take before the tension snapped. I do love a bit of angst in my romances and this one was crazy full of it. One minute they're arguing, the next they're ripping each others clothes off. I actually quite liked that about it.I have classed this as erotica(esque) because the sex is rather graphic and more erotic than a lot of other books I've read for a while.There was also a "fifteen years ago" chapter thrown in every so often that showed a younger Caine as he suffered through helping out at his local church that was rather cleverly thought out in my opinion. I didn't figure out how that was going to tie into the story until a little before Caine started to put two and two together himself.I do enjoy this author's book and I will definitely be reading more of her books in the future.

5 starsOh my this is a fantastic, beautiful, romantic heartfelt story. I loved the banter between Cain and Rachel, loved feisty Rachel. wow Cain loved him so much. He is so hot.Cain and Rachel had me on an emotional rollercoaster, I've laughed and cried so much! I can honestly say these two totally touched my heart. I absolutely loved this book and was drawn right in, I couldn't put this down had to keep going to find out what happens! This is a must read. Well done Vi Keeland.

I bought this book months ago and for some reason I didn’t want to read it before now. It never jumped out at me like her other books. Boy was it worth the wait. I couldn’t put it down until I’d finished it, it was that good a story. Fantastic book thank you Vi.

I went back and forth on my feelings for these two. I adored them both, but found them frustrating with the 'I want you, I don't want you'. But, overall, especially the last few chapters, really made it for me. A beautiful story with a beautiful ending.

Another brilliant read by Vi Keeland. I became engrossed with the leads and their chemistry was off the chart. I would've rated it a five star but the religious aspect took me to snooze town. I can see why it was written in but it didn't work for me, and detracted from the love. Never the less, I really enjoyed the majority and love the authors imagination.

I enjoyed this book..I felt it had been influenced by the Gabriel's Inferno series and other romance books but it was a good way to chill out and I liked the characters.

Loved this so much, Vi Keeland you are one talented author.Rachel and Cain story was so heart moving. I do to believe in angels 💕💕 this is more than a 5⭐️ book
