BEAUTY AND THE PROFESSOR
MY OPINION
A poignant tale of love and self-worth. Beautiful writing, soft as a caress.I couldn't help myself when I heard this story had been revised to be republished. I had read it years ago, loved it so much it still lingered on my mind. After all, it was my first book by this author and I never looked back, hooked on her mesmerising words ever since.
This modern retelling of Beauty and the Beast delves deeper than skin into ugliness and beyond to what the heart hides. Al the fears, the sense of not being enough, of keeping on losing our dreams no matter the effort to prevent it.
There is soul in this book, and a lot of passion.
The first scene is pure forbidden sensuality as Erin inadvertedly bumps into a private moment when her boss is pleasing himself. It is subtly provocative and intimate due to the innocence mixed with the openness of the incident. From then on, Erin and Blake cannot deny the force of their pull.
He's a scarred man with heavy issues from his military experience, whereas Erin is the young college student who cleans his house. Talk of power play! So many alarm bells there. Both points of view shed light onto their inner thoughs about the dangers of thteir relationship, but mainly about their insecurities. Will they be enogh? Will she really need him as much as he needs her, and viceversa? It's relatable, achingly tender. And all the while they share this unmistankenly arousing intimacy that blows the walls around them.
The secret of their relationship increases the dangers exponentially until they explode in one final test. That was painful and it opens their eyes to how fragile life and dreams are. I was really sad about the cliffhanger because it took courage for them to go there. Both characters are devastated despite their feelings for each other. Thankfully, it's only a short while before the second book puts us out of our misery :-D
Favourite Quotes:
She fell to pieces, awash in a sea of sweet senses, a land with no edges and no divides.
Their bodies communicating in an ancient language.
Ah, but you already rule me. Anything else is just a game we play.
