First rule of teaching… don’t fall for a student.Finally living the life of my dreams in a city I’d always wanted to experience was supposed to be a clean slate. Until him… My prim and proper world is turned upside down when he walks into my college classroom, demanding attention with a single look, his braces and glasses at complete odds with his defined body and bad boy tattoos. From the … bad boy tattoos.
From the first moment we connect, it’s like he’s daring me to live the life I’ve always craved, a life on the edge…not caring what others think.
Breaking the rules to be with a student will be crossing the line, but life on the other side just might be what I’ve been looking for.
Avoiding Temptation is the first book of the Temptation duet set in the Forbidden world.

This is the first part of Joe and Quinn’s romance, it can be read as standalone story in the Forbidden Series, it does end on a cliffhanger but since I was invested in the romance between Joe and Quinn I really can’t wait, the twist at the end really got my attention. I love Joe and Quinn together, she settles his character down a bit and he frees her soul.
This story is well-written and fast-paced, filled with plenty of drama and emotion. The characters are flawed yet incredibly likable.
4.5
Everything I read from Tracy is gold. She is an author that I just can’t put down. The writing and the characters are well developed and on point. I can’t wait to read more.

The first two couples from this series were deeply emotional. I cried a tear or two and felt the hurt and then relief that finally all is well in their world. This third couple is no different. It’ll make you hold your seat and leave you in suspense waiting for its continuation and the ending in the next book.

I have been dying for Joe’s story and Tracy Lorraine did not disappoint AT ALL! Wow! The amazing chemistry between Joe and Quinn was thoroughly felt throughout their story. They both have past issues, their relationship is forbidden, but the connection is so strong. A definite must read. I can not wait for the rest of their story.

I enjoyed this student/teacher romance. Just so you know this is only book one of two, so be prepared for the cliffhanger. I liked the chemistry between Joe and Quinn. The tension really builds in this slow burning, suspenseful romance. The story offers a compelling blend of drama, emotions, secrets, twist and danger. I can’t wait to read book two to find out what happens.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book from beginning to the end. It always helps when the author gives life to the characters. These characters are definitely well developed and engaging making this a smooth flowing storyline that had me turning the pages.

Is this the woman Joe was secretly seeing? His class teacher has secrets of her own from the life she is running from. I don’t know if Joe is her knight in shining armor since he seemed kind of sleazy in the other books and not because of his sexual orientation. Joe can definitely show her how to live on the wild side. I look forward to finding out what happens to Quinn in the next book after that cliffhanger.

Such a great story of two people finding one another
I love this story of Joe and Quinn, whose attraction is forbidden, but can’t seem to avoid being with one another! Quinn is hiding from her past that being with Joe allows her to forget. Joe finds that he wants more with Quinn for the first time in his life. I love how Joe makes Quinn feel free. What happens when Quinn’s past catches up with her? You’ll be wanting the next part of the duet due January 2020 to find out.
Oh-My-Lanta I loved this book!! Like I finished it a little bit ago and I want to keep rereading it until the next book comes out!!
The story follows Quinn, who just moved to London and is working as an adult education teacher (at least that’s what I assumed her title was). She moved here on a whim and only knows one friend named Eddie that helped set her up with the job and a place to live. Joe is her way hot too hot student with intense eyes and a playful attitude that she is instantly drawn too. As the story unfolds you can definitely tell Quinn is harboring some demons in her past that she wants to forget and Joe just must be the person to help even if she should stay away from him since he’s her student.
Quinn is definitely a strong female character that has been through some potentially dark stuff and managed to not only survive but find the courage to start all over in a new place with only a single friend. I loved Quinn as a character and found myself genuinely cheering her on the more she started to embrace her true self throughout the book. I’m pretty sure I was cheering out loud when she “binned” a specific item cause I knew this was when the real Quinn was gonna come out. I was drooling over Joe the moment he entered the class room with his thick-rimmed glasses, “braces”, rolled sleeves and tattoos on display; talk about my kind of man! The more we saw/learned about him the harder I swooned.
I loved the chemistry between Quinn and Joe, it was very intense and they were definitely burning my kindle up! I can’;t want to see what comes next after that ending! I can’t say anymore about this book with out risking spoiling the fun for others but I highly recommend it!!!

This newest release will give you the thrill of suspense with a whole lot of yummy forbidden heat. I loved the intense chemistry between Joe and Quinn. Their journey was strong from start to finish and the ended will having you wanting more now rather than later, I can’t wait to see what happens next.
Tracy is back at it and she has brought us the first have of Joe’s story and I can’t wait until the end of Jan. to find out what happens! I was hoping Joe’s story would go a certain way but Tracy went in the opposite direction and I love it! The little twists and turns you get in this book is great and will keep you on the edge of your seat. Also, Joe being Alpha AF is mind blowingly awesome!

Just loved this 1st instalment of Joe and Quinn’s(Elizabeth) story , you can almost feel the slow burn sexual tension building between them and their chemistry is off the charts , but both have pasts and eventually open up to each other , and I have a feeling that Eddie isn’t such a good friend to Quinn as he claims to be , this is well written with a great storyline that’s intense with drama hot chemistry , secrets , hot scenes and a whole lot more , but with the danger surrounding Quinn will they get a chance at an HEA in the next instalment of this book which is gonna be hard waiting for it

Joe Kingsman is taking an English class on Thursday nights and when he sees his teacher Quinn Smith, he stares at her intensely and it makes her very uncomfortable. He makes it obvious that he knows that she is aware of him and plays up to it.
Quinn is highly aware of Joe as soon as he enters her classroom. He is dressed in dress pants and white button down shirt and braces instead of a belt, he is also sporting some tattoos, all of this topped with glasses. He is the kind of man she has always loved, the bad boy.
Joe sets out to help Quinn to live life to it’s fullest, so helps her to buy new clothes and get rid of her old style from her previous life. Quinn was an English teacher who had previously been employed by a select facility for rich children. But she also is escaping an abusive relationship with her husband. She is scared they will find her and drag her back.
Joe encourages Quinn to have a relationship with him and it becomes pretty obvious that he is serious about her. But Joe too has secrets about his past. Together the two of them explore their new relationship although Quinn is terrified of being found out and tries to push Joe away. Then when they come home from ba weekend away, they discover that Quinn’s apartment has been broken into. Joe organises for new locks to be installed and once they are done, Quinn goes home only to discover that her husband is waiting for her. This is where the story ends in a cliffhanger ending.

I love Tracy Lorraine’s books. She writes well with great storylines. I mostly love her characters. There are a few that I’ve gotten frustrated with their behavior and wondered if I’d ever like them. Joe was one of those characters. But Tracy is convincing me to give him a chance. Tracy has me all over the place when it comes to Quinn. Quinn is in a really bad place, running from her past. Technically, there’s cheating happening. I hate that. But I don’t want to give too much information so I’ll leave it there. I screamed, “Noooooo” at the ending of this book. I absolutely cannot wait for the next one. My heart has plummeted.

Received ARC from BookSprout for Honest Review
I Give this book a 3.5/5 Star Rating, Listing as 3.
HEA(?): No.
Cliffhanger(?): Yes.
Heat: 3-3.5ish/5, Even though there is a few heated scenes, I was a bit bored with them.
Romance: 3ish/5
Drama: 3.5ish-4/5
Suspense: 3.5-4/5
Honestly, this was a hard book to rate.
I found some sections in this book to be a little bit…overly romantic?
Some areas were jammed pack a little too much, that there wasn’t much breathing room.
In some of the scenes with Quinn & Joe, some spots in the book seemed bit fast paced also.
I see the ‘taboo/forbidden’ aspect of the book Student/Teacher, but it didn’t seem that big of a deal to me..so far at least, since it does end with a cliffhanger.
There are details in this book I won’t reveal in this review, and I did find it quite fascinating, especially the cliffhanger.
But I don’t really know if I want to read the next book, but we’ll see.
Elizabeth is a professor at a local university. Joe is one of her students. They start a relationship with issues from their past coming to the forefront of their relationship. Real danger is in store for Elizabeth. Good book, well written!
