Synopsis
Aubrey
Price is in the final months of her undergraduate degree at the University of
Toronto. Bright, witty and fiercely independent, Aubrey works part-time
for the college Dean and has her sights set on graduating with distinction.
When she meets Dean Grant’s son, Daniel, the TA in her senior
Shakespearean studies course, a shared love of the Bard’s works and an instant
mutual attraction draw Aubrey and Daniel together. Unfortunately, a
strict anti-fraternizing policy, made more perilous by a black mark on Daniel’s
record, keeps them apart.
Against this academic backdrop, Aubrey and Daniel navigate
their way through a steamy courtship, their forbidden romance aided, abetted
and sometimes thwarted by a colorful cast of friends, family and classmates.

About the Author
Georgina
Guthrie has been a self-professed book hugger for as long as she can
remember. An avid reader and compulsive diarist, she is thrilled to be taking
the leap into the world of publishing. GG resides in Toronto, Canada, but she
still considers herself a Brit through and through and can often be found
roaming the aisles of her favourite British import shop.
A
graduate of the University of Toronto where she studied English literature,
GG is happy to fill her hours reading and writing, but she’s just as likely
to be found enjoying a good film with her husband, dancing around the kitchen
with her daughter, or hanging out with friends and family, almost certainly
with a glass of red wine in one hand a bag of cheese and onion crisps in the
other.

Review:
Let me start off by saying... I LOVED THIS STORY! Hello forbidden love. I really enjoy a romance that is forbidden, but my oh my do I want more! I kind of hated how it ended. Hated as in oh my goodness why did it stop? I need more! :)
Other than dying for more, this is a beautiful story. I love the witty humor and found myself actually laughing out loud. The characters are great. They truly bring the story to life. It was a lot of fun to read and I can't wait for the next installment of this series.
Guthrie captured my attention from the very beginning. Many books I read take a few chapters to really get going. I admire an author who can capture my attention from the get go. I have to say my favorite part of this book might be meeting the parents. I was laughing hysterically, yet so curious as to how it would end up. Truly a great read.
