Review Blitz: Boiling Point by Nadine Theiss

Boiling Point by Nadine Theiss is now live!


He's her professor. She's the one variable he can't control.
Dr. Callum Hawthorne doesn't do reckless. Not anymore.
After walking away from a powerful English family and leaving a scandal buried an ocean away, he's rebuilt his life--quietly, carefully--behind the lectern of a small Texas college. Everything is predictable. Contained. Safe.

Until Gabrielle Clark walks into his lecture hall.

She's sharp. She's relentless. She's off-limits.
And she makes him forget every damn rule he's sworn to follow.

What starts as a spark becomes a fire neither of them can contain. The more they try to play it cool, the hotter it burns. But secrets have mass. Consequences have gravity. And when their relationship detonates, it won't just cost them their reputations. If they're found out, he'll lose his job. She'll lose her scholarship.
And the fallout won't stop there.
Cal's past isn't dead. It's just buried.
And secrets don't stay buried forever.

Passion has a boiling point.
And they're about to hit it.

MY REVIEW


Professor Callum Hawthorne is a physics professor who runs his classes with a serious manner, by the rules. Then Gabrielle walks into his classroom and turns his world upside down. They form a friendship and try to keep it from becoming more, but the heart wants what it wants...


Gabrielle isn't like a typical college student. Not only is she older (25), having been taking care of her father while others were in college, but she's so much more mature and focused than the average student. She didn't start Callum's class thinking he'd end up being anything more than her professor. But a friendship backed with mutual intelligence is formed, and their explosive chemistry cannot be denied.


I do so love me a hot, forbidden professor/student romance, so I came into this expecting the same. And I did end up loving it, but because it's quite out of the box, rather than the normal forbidden deliciousness of anything professor/student. Gabrielle is older and more mature, so on more of an equal field with Callum, and they start with a fast, solid friendship. Of course there's no way they would be able to stay just friends, so a fallout was inevitable, but handled with grace. And that's what I love so much about this couple - they aren't just a hot, forbidden couple, their mutual intelligence, both emotional and academic allows them grace combined with sizzling chemistry, and a deep connection. This is the first read by this author for me, but after having read and fallen in love with Gabrielle and her professor Callum, I'm on the lookout for all her future releases.

Review: One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti

Review of One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti ONE LITTLE LIE Hollis is a good girl with a crush on a broody musician. Unfortunately, that boy, Adam, hates her. Why? Because the chip on his shoulder leaves him thinking good girl, rich girl Hollis is a lemming like everyone else in their small town. Which makes it even more unfortunate when years after their high school encounter, Hollis' best friend tries to stick up for her and ends up telling her parents that Adam is the the boyfriend Hollis doesn't actually have. Oops. How will Hollis ever convince Adam to go along with her little lie? I really liked One Little Lie. Hollis is a really naive girl, but she has such a huge heart that I couldn't help but fall in love with her spirit. She's so sweet, so compassionate, the kind of person this world needs more of. Adam, on the other hand, eh, he didn't do much for me. His chip on the shoulder, broody asshole attitude did nothing to endear me to him, but because H...
