I never learn my lesson. And I always want what I can’t have. When Sarah Henderson walks into my life, I tell myself she’s off limits. She’s my student, sixteen years younger than me, and my boss’s niece. It doesn’t matter that I see the same pain reflected in her eyes that I have in my own, or that the dead organ better known as my heart kicks to life when she’s around. I’ve been here before, and I know how this ends. It’s been two years since I fell for the last woman I knew I couldn’t have, the one with the ring on her finger that I chose to ignore. Two years of trying to overcome that heartache when Sarah slides into my life. Another woman I can’t have. Another woman I can’t stop myself from wanting. I never learn my lesson, but with a constant reminder of how that last forbidden love burned, I think I’ve finally learned this one. This time, I won’t chase what’s off limits. This time, I’m staying away. And I’ll keep telling myself that until I believe it.

Resenha/Review

Aqui temos a história de Reese e Sarah, dois personagens quebrados cada um ao seu jeito. A partir do Prólogo dessa história eu me vi imersa na vida desses dois personagens, e foi impossível não me emocionar com eles. A autora conseguiu me fazer sentir a angústia, medos , inseguranças e sofrimentos de cada um deles é a cada interação entre eles eu me via cada vez mais envolvida na história.

Eu gostei de Reese , ele foi um personagem bem desenvolvido  e consegui sentir a angústia dele em alguns momentos, mas pra mim a personagem do livro foi a Sarah. Eu me vi apaixonada por essa menina de apenas 21 anos e sua força de mesmo após o que passou não deixar de persistir os seus sonhos . E o relacionamento dela com a mãe também foi encantador , adorei ver o amor, compreensão e lealdade entre as duas .

Charlie foi uma personagem que me irritou profundamente aqui. Em todas as aparições dela durante a história ( que foram poucas, ainda bem ) eu tive vontade de mandar ela se tocar  e ir viver a vida dela. Sério que personagem mais sem noção .

Essa história me levou a uma jornada emocional, onde eu torci , chorei e ri com esses personagens ao longo da história, tudo envolto em uma  narrativa muito bem contada e envolvente, de forma que eu  fiquei cativada da primeira à última página.

What led me to read this book was the synopsis. When I saw that it was a forbidden student/teacher romance , I wasted no time in embarking on reading this book. And now that I've finished reading I can only say that it was the right choice. Because I loved this book.

Here we have the story of Reese and Sarah, two characters broken each in their own way. From the Prologue of this story I found myself immersed in the lives of these two characters, and it was impossible not to be moved by them.The author managed to make me feel the anguish, fears, insecurities and sufferings of each of them is with each interaction between them I found myself increasingly involved in the story.

I liked Reese, he was a well-developed character and I could feel his anguish in a few moments, but for me the character of the book was Sarah.I found myself in love with this girl of only 21 years and her strength of even after what happened did not cease to persist her dreams. And her relationship with her mother was also lovely, I loved seeing the love, understanding and loyalty between the two.

Charlie was a character who deeply irritated me here. In all her appearances during the story (which were few, thank god ) I wanted to tell her to disappear and go live the life she chose.Seriously character more clueless.

This story led me to an emotional journey, where I hope , cried and laughed with these characters throughout history, all wrapped up in a very well told and engaging narrative, so that I was captivated from the first to the last page.
