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.

Terrific!!
I have been waiting for Joe’s story since…it seems like forever! This is book 1 in his story with Quinn who just happens to be his teacher and on the run from her husband and past! Cannot wait for the next book so I can see what happens next!!

I enjoyed this book and thought it was another super read from Tracy but be warned it does end on a cliffhanger. I loved Joe and Quinn’s story and just loved that for a change the woman is the teacher this was a super read I cant wait to see what happens with them next.
Oh wow, Tracy Lorraine has completely outdone herself with this instalment of the Forbidden series. It was absolutely perfect; it had just the right amount of story, intrigue, passion and impeccable writing.
We are finally getting Joe’s story. We first met him when he was pretending to be with Lauren to scare Ben off back in ‘Falling for the Forbidden’. He has been a presence in the previous five books, but we haven’t really gotten to know him, although we do know that he has been being secretive and has a mystery woman.
Quinn is running away from her past. She has moved to London, changed her image and is ready to live the life she wants. She has started a new job as a teacher at an adult college, but she isn’t prepared for the geeky bad boy at the back of her first class.
I was quite surprised that we get the whole story from the perspective and voice of Quinn. So, we still aren’t privy to what makes Joe tick. He is there, and he is swoonsome, but we don’t know what his deepest inner desires are. The intensity he was written with really came off the pages, and I found myself falling for him a little bit. I do usually manage to stay detached from the characters (I’m happily married), but Joe was certainly doing it for me (blush)!
I did find it hard to marry up this Joe with the one I’d previously pictured in the first five books. He just seemed so much suaver. I did keep reminding myself about how he squared up to Ben to keep the image of a bad boy in my mind. I’d always just had him as a bit of a weaker character; I think because he was always just in the background. There is nothing soft about the Joe in this book though; he could knock anyone’s socks off!
I really liked the intrigue that came with Quinn, I am dying to know what her full secret is and the ending was just brilliant. Tracy certainly knows how to write a cliffhanger and leave you wanting more. I think this story kept me more gripped than any of her previous ones, and I’m feeling very impatient waiting for the conclusion. I’ve just looked up the date for the next instalment, 23rd January, ah hopefully I can get an ARC, so I don’t have to wait that long! It’s still next year, though!
So, overall, I think this is the best Tracy Lorraine book I have read so far (and I’ve read them all!) A massive five stars (if I could give it more I would). Absolutely flipping brilliant!

4 stars for Avoiding Temptation by Tracy Lorraine. This is book 1 of Joe and Quinn’s story. This is also a forbidden student/teacher romance with a side of suspense. Quinn has fled to London and is teaching at a new college. She wants to be herself after never being able to be. She notices Joe right off the bat. Joe looks like your typical bad boy. HE is everything Quinn has always wanted but could never have. What happens when the everything Quinn is running from catches up to her. I loved the suspense and romance in this story. It does end in a bit of a cliffhanger and I am starting book 2 now.
An enjoyable well written romance of teacher student. This engaging storyline had me addicted page after page. It quickly becomes apparent that these two cant avoid temptation but realized they are each keeping secrets. This intriguing story leaves on a cliffhanger wondering if they will be able to reveal their secrets and build a stronger bond or will their secrets tear them apart? I voluntarily read and reviewed this ARC.
The chemistry between the main characters is out of this freaking world!
I felt that the author had the ability to convey some depth to the personalities of the characters bringing life and likability to every person.
The writing draws you in and keeps you interested until the end.

This is first part in duet.
It is romantic, swoony, sexy and very engaging.I loved it!
Student and teacher romans. Quinn is a teacher and Joe is a student . We talking here about adult class and consenting adults.
Great chemistry , beautiful romance and sexual tension. Secrets, twists and turns will make you turning pages and rooting for this couple.
Why both of them trying to hide information from each other?
I assume the secrets of both will be revealed in the next book and I can’t wait!

That was just…HOLY MOLY! The air crackles with the electricity between Joe and Quinn. The mystery that is Quinn’s past ratchets up as the pages turn (quickly and easily). They each share a little but Joe has his own skeletons that are yet to be revealed. For this sub-series / duet, having read the previous five books isn’t necessary but the whole series is fantastic! Ahhh…I can’t wait for the next installment in Quinn and Joe’s story! I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
What happens when you can’t avoid that temptation any longer???
Sometimes Avoiding Temptation is just way too hard, at least that is what happens with Quinn Smith when she sees Joe for the first time. She has started a new life teaching English at a London college and just wants to enjoy her new found independence. Her friend Eddie helped her move to London, get the new job and find an apartment. But Quinn is also keeping things secret from her previous life and Eddie knows these.
Joe has decided that he wants more in life and realizes that he needs to go to school to do that. So he signs up for an adult ed English class and Miss Smith is the teacher. Joe is more than sexy as he is handsome, has a great body, tattoos and is smart. But he is also a geeky nerd who wears glasses suspenders. quotes Shakespeare and makes her weak at the knees.
Quinn and Joe have an instant draw to each other. They try to avoid temptation the best they can as they are brought together in the classroom. It quickly becomes apparent that they cannot avoid the temptation any longer but what happens when they both realize the other is keeping secrets hidden from their past. Will they be able to reveal their secrets and build a stronger bond or will their secrets tear them apart?
This book does end on a cliffhanger and Quinn and Joe’s story will continue in the next book of the series. Avoiding Temptation is filled with emotion with a well developed and completely engaging story-line and wonderful characters that have depth. Well the student/teacher “temptation” is not really that great as they are both adults the temptation is still their for the characters as they both realize quickly once they give in others things will need to come to light. This was a book that I would definitely recommend.
I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
This was a great story. It was well written and fast paced. The chemistry between the characters was sizzling hot. This book has everything you need to keep you turning pages hot sexy men, steamy scenes and some conflict thrown in. I cannot wait for what this author writes next.

This is the first story in a duet and is part of the “Forbidden” series. Although you don’t have to read that series to follow this one. You would get more of the back story. This is a forbidden teacher and student story that is runs the spectrum on emotions. This is part one of Joe and Quinn’s story and does end with one heck of a cliff hanger. Overall I like their story and how it developed with a little angst. I look forward to finishing Quinn and Joe’s story. Is Quinn really Elizabeth?
A fun and enjoyable read that will keep you entertained throughout the story. Hot and steamy at its best, you will not regret this book.

This book was gripping, well written & the chemistry between the characters sizzled throughout this wonderful read.
Well done Tracy. I look forward to more!
Wow! Amazing story.
Oh my word I’ve loved all the stories in this series but I must say this is the best. All the characters throughout the series are great but I’ve loved getting to know Joe’s story & Quinn, so can’t wait for the next book but I don’t want it to end either.

A gripping book six in the Forbidden series and book one of the Temptation duet. It is a taboo professor/student romance that is well written, well developed, engaging, and emotionally deep with suspense, danger, steamy scenes, and much, much more. The characters you will love, they are deep, and have amazingly hot chemistry between them. I look forward to reading part two. Definitely recommended.
