Former tennis player Easton Bradbury is trying to be the best teacher she can be, trying to reach her bored students, trying to forget her past. What brought her to this stage in her life isn’t important. She can’t let it be. But now one parent-teacher meeting may be her undoing…. Meeting Tyler Marek for the first time makes it easy for Easton to see why his son is having trouble in school. The man knows how to manage businesses and wealth, not a living, breathing teenage boy. Or a young teacher, for that matter, though he tries to. And yet…there is something about him that draws Easton in—a hint of vulnerability, a flash of attraction, a spark that might burn. Wanting him is taboo. Needing him is undeniable. And his long-awaited touch will weaken Easton’s resolve—and reveal what should stay hidden….
What I loved about this book was how fallible both Easton and Tyler were in their struggles, but still so resilient and strong. They had fantastic chemistry and Penelope did a great job of contrasting their ages, but at the same time, it seemed like age wasn’t a factor when it came to how well they complemented each other. Easton is very innovative and talented, but she’s not an attention seeker at all (especially if there’s the potential for negative publicity because Easton has a way of being no holds barred when provoked), whereas Tyler lives in the spotlight currently. Tyler, despite being so hard working, is used to getting what he wants and finds that he really has to put in the effort to build a relationship with Christian.
I had to rate this one 4.5 stars! It was everything I needed. It’s mature, sexy, enchanting, and completely unputadownable! Penelope Douglas is one of those authors whose books I could revisit again and again and love them just as much as the first time I read them. Her methods are fresh and unique and I never know what kind of ride she’ll be taking me on next. ‘Misconduct’ is a must read for all contemporary romance readers!
