The Education of Caroline by Jane Harvey-Berrick

Sebastian makes Caro take chances which could ruin her. We got through a whole box of condoms? No wonder my legs felt like I’d never be able to cross them again. I’ve read a lot of smut, but the forbidden element of their relationship made everything seem that more shocking. And they take A LOT of risks – in locker rooms, cars, on the beach, in her own bed. One kiss, one touch, and they can’t seem to control themselves. The passion between these two is undeniable. Pandora’s Box had been opened, and it was proving very hard to keep the lid closed. I wondered what it would take for Caro to simply give in, and I was surprised how little it took. Their relationship, which starts off as friendship, escalates due to Sebastian’s persistence. It’s on Caro’s return to San Diego with David, that she runs into Sebastian, the young boy she befriended, who has now grown up to a sexy teenager. Sebastian’s parents are emotionally and physically abusive.Caro’s husband David is a complete jackass, who bosses her around and treats her like the help.Based on their awful separate homelives, it is obvious why they are both so desperate for affections. What I found most surprising was how easy it was to get behind this couple, even with the cheating and statatory rape factor. This underage element adds a unique dynamic to the story, since by being with Sebastian, Caro is breaking the law. Especially given their age difference – she’s 13 years older! AND, there’s the big elephant in the room, as he is underage. The relationship between Caroline (Caro) and Sebastian is so different from the previous books I’ve read. What was the first book I chose in my massive TBR list? This one, obviously.

If you didn’t see my FB post, I somehow managed to clear my reading schedule, signing up for very few ARCs over the next month.

Yes please! And then somehow, these books got buried on my kindle. Will this chance encounter reignite the erotic passion of their past?īack in 2014, when I saw the synopsis for this series, I immediately one-clicked.

Love is the last thing on her mind when she crosses paths with Chief Sebastian Hunter. Now a successful journalist, Caroline heads out to report from the front lines of the war in Afghanistan. But when sparks fly friendship turns into an illicit love that threatens them both. Sebastian has more than friendship on his mind when he runs into Caroline on the beach. Feeling lost and alone Caroline strikes up a friendship with young local surfer Sebastian Hunter. Trapped in a loveless marriage, thirty year old Caroline Wilson moves to San Diego after her military husband earns a promotion. Title: The Education of Sebastian/The Education of Caroline
