    About this ebook

    When graduate student Katherine Brenner walked into my class, I couldn't stand her -- all perfect skin and big, blue eyes -- just like the woman who broke my heart.

    If it wasn't for that blizzard, if her car hadn't broken down outside my house, if she hadn't looked amazing by the firelight, I never would have kissed her. No matter how hard I try, every excuse I make not to see her comes up flat.

    I can't stop thinking of her lips. Or the way her curves fit perfectly in my hands. There's a million reasons why this won't work. I'm her professor. It's against university policy.

    And if this gets out, I could lose everything.

    Lauren E. Rico

    Lauren Rico was going to be principal French horn of the New York Philharmonic. That was HER plan, anyway. The New York Philharmonic had no idea of her intentions, and that's probably a good thing, since she wasn't an especially good French horn player! Lauren was, however, an exceptionally good classical music radio host. Calling herself a "Classical Music Reanimator," she has made a career of bringing back long-dead composers from The Great Beyond and plopping them down smack in the middle of the 21st century. In other words, she does her best to demystify classical music for her audiences by taking it off a dusty old pedestal and putting it into a modern context. It's only been over the last couple of years that Lauren has discovered a passion for writing, which she's managed to combine with her love and knowledge of the classical music world. That's when she had the realization that she had something special with this story of love and obsession and music. These days, you can hear Lauren Rico on SiriusXM's Symphony Hall Channel 76, on WSHU-FM in the New York metro region, WSMR in Tampa/Sarasota, FL, WDAV in Charlotte, NC and KMFA in Austin, TX.

      Received an ARC for my fair review for netgalley. I did like the book, however I did have some issues with it. Drew, is Kate's professor, and he treats her like crap, and hates her because, one he is attracted to her, and two because she reminds him of his fiance, who committed suicide years ago, the same year he meet Kate in class, so all of his anger is placed towards her. Kate is a senator's daughter, and that senator is hated, and poor Kate gets the brunt of it. Her classmates are horrible to her, then she is stalked by a jerk of a journalist. Kate ends up in Drew's drive after dropping off her paper, and her car stalls and she has a fever, so he helps her, since there is a bad snow storm. Since they are stuck together, they end up talking about everything, and Drew can't believe he has treated her so badly and that she is not how he perceived her. They work thru their animosity, and act on there attraction, but know they cant let anyone know about it, because there will be serious complications. Drew starts seeing how the students treat Kate, and cant believe it, but he can't act differently toward her, or people will notice. It all comes out, of course, and he is led to believe that it was Kate who did this as revenge,and treats her horribly, and poor Kate is heartbroken. This is where my issue comes in. How could Drew believe this journalist, when he himself knew that the jerk of a journalist had attacked Kate previously, and had hurt twice and she had pressed charges on him. The things Drew said to her, and the way he treated her, he needed to seriously beg for forgiveness, but she gave in to fast, and that is one of the parts that bother me, she should have made him work for it. Kate was a great person, but she let those around her bully her, I felt she needed to stick up for herself more, but regardless, I liked her. Another thing that irked me was that Drew was quick to accept that Kate betrayed him, yet he gave Tessa, the benefit of the doubt, knowing that she was in love with him, and she gets an apology, because he should have told her he was not interested. The woman was horrible.
