Dr. Alexis Welsh a Professor of criminalistics has been receiving secret clues, messages for weeks now and she is trying to place together who could be sending them. She is hoping that it is Chris Locke who is now a senior, and after four years of school she could have something with him. Plus he has been the only student she has met over the years that has done something to her. He spent 4 years in the Air Force before he began college. Chris has been patient but now with graduation only months away he wanting to let Dr. Welsh know how he has felt for her since the first time he has seen her. Now leaving clues leading up to Valentine’s Day has one left when he is caught, not with the clue but at her door. He asks her out for coffee and though she wants to go she is worried about her job. She wants to be with him also and then suggests a bar a few nights later. This is when the story gets turned up. She buys a wig and dresses different. They leave and have a passion filled night. The problem is they both want more. Then when he finds out he won’t be leaving for California but staying she is looking at this as bad news. Can Chris find a way to make it work like he has for her outside of the college? Read the fast paced, good story with some hot steamy scenes in the bed room. A very good book.

I liked this short story and especially liked the fact that this is the first in a series. The writing style was very engaging and I very quickly was rooting for the two main characters and for them to find a way to have some form of relationship even though it is forbidden. I guess that is what makes it even more desirable.
