I like a romance story that is well written and well developed. Love overcomes the odds in this story which something I always look for in a romance novel. It is one thing to like a student just because of their good performance in class. But falling in love with them is another. I'd like to find out more. Thanks for a great review.

A very intresting book for me. I just want to read the book to see how they face the society. Another thing which makes this book intresting that it hs not just only romance but also contains murder, mystery, and disaster.

The sample and review were really good. What I was intrigued by was that the story centered around a couple where the woman was significantly older, which was rare back in those times. I look forward to reading this one! Congrats on BOTD! 😊

Romance is not my genre, but I am glad to hear the book is so well rounded. Great review!

Marion and Jonathan's love story is rear, which reminded me of my gradeschool teacher. How hard it might be facing on scrutiny about their rear relationship. The plot looks full of suspense and horror.

It will be interesting to see how Jonathan and Marion steer their way round society's prejudice on a relationship with an older woman. Thanks for the wonderful review.

This sounds like a wonderful romance that challenges the stigma of large age gaps in relationships. My grandmother was 21 years younger than my grandfather, so there was a bit of a family scandal there. As long as both parties are consenting adults, it shouldn't matter.
There is no frigate like a book
To take us lands away,
Nor any coursers like a page
Of prancing poetry.
This traverse may the poorest take
Without oppress of toll;
How frugal is the chariot
That bears a human soul!

Touches on a love affair despite the age gap between the Jonathan and Marlon. It's a clear depiction of the current situation in schools. As a student the story line is well built and interesting as well

What an interesting concept. I am sure many of us can relate to that high school crush or infatuation with the extremely hot teacher and cant wait for that period to begin sort of thing loll. I love the Sandcastle theme which i think is on point, because that is what life is unpredictable. Romance is not my genre so i will be giving this one a pass. It sounds like a great tear-jerker though.

A tale of forbidden love with the age gap is quite an interesting one. Am definitely reading this one. Congratulations on BOTD. Thanks for your review.
