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.

Avoiding Temptation is Joe’s story in Tracy Lorraine’s Forbidden series. Joe Kingsman has decided that he wants to improve his lot in life to become something more than he is by signing up for an adult ed. English class. Miss Smith (Quinn) is used to teaching teenagers for the last 8 years and she’s just a little apprehensive about teaching a room full of adults. She has no idea how she’s going to handle the bad boy nerd with the tattoos and attitude, especially since she felt such a pull toward him when he walked through the door. He caught her attention and intends to keep it. The more time he spends with her in class and out, Joe recognizes that she’s hiding something and that it hurt her deeply. He says and does everything he can think of to take her out of her memories and keep her with him in the present. His poetic texts are hilarious and just what she needs. Quinn tells herself that she can’t get involved with one of her students, even if he is an adult. They are delicious together and Quinn is starting to come into her own as a woman. But her past in London has located her. There’s a black cloud hanging over her and the scandal that she ran from is about to catch up. The perfect place for a cliffhanger. Part two of the duet can’t be released fast enough!
I have a burning need to know what happens to these 2 characters that have dark troubled pasts. Tracey does it again with the cliffhanger that leaves me dying for more!

I like that Joe is getting his own stories. Hearing about him from Lauren, Ben, & Erica isn’t the same as reading his life through his own eyes. He’s a bit of a naughty boy with a heart of gold when it comes to Quinn. Quinn is a bit of a puzzle that I can’t wait to solve. She wants to turn over a new leaf and Joe is just the guy to do it with. The story is hot, yet sweet, forbidden and secretive. Can’t wait for part two.
Book 6 in Lorraine’s Forbidden series and can be read as a stand alone. A great taboo romance read – teacher / student. Lorraine does not disappoint – well written with the best balance of romance, story line and steamy scenes. Great characters that engage the reader with great chemistry. If you haven’t read anything in this series – this read will have you hooked!

Quinn left her previous life to start over, to live, to experience a different way of life. Eddie her friend, who knows her past, is not what she’s looking for, it would be more of the same. Joe is her student {adult School} he’s all Tats and Attitude.. and Nerdy and Hot! He makes her feel. Things she’s never felt. But he’s also bringing forth nightmares, of her previous life. Joe does take her out and helps her experience life in London, she loves that he would do that. As they move closer and closer their pasts start to reveal who they were before, but Quinn doesn’t reveal all. This is a cliffy, and you will gasp on the last page! Very well written, with wit and mystery to combine to be a great story!
I really enjoyed this book. Highly recommended. Look forward for next book from you soon. No spoilers here.

The story was interesting and good. Great characters with a good storyline. It was enjoyable but not my favorite.
Avoiding Temptation is book one of Quinn and Joe’s duet and book six of the Forbidden series. This is a forbidden teacher/student romance and as the sexual tension builds the story gets that much better. Great writing, believable characters and a story filled with drama, steam, secrets danger, and twists that kept me turning the page make this a must read. I can’t wait to read how Quinn and Joe’s story ends.
I’ve read a lot of books written by Tracy Lorraine; she has done a great job at writing another good book; she is one of my favorite authors. I can’t wait to read more of books her books.

She’s the teacher
Quinn is about thirty and has just started a new job. She’s intrigued by the bad boy geek (glasses and braces and all. Oh, and tats) Joe. He’s her student and his sexuality is a bit fluid. He’s younger, obviously.
It ends in a cliffhanger and someone is watching Quinn.

Quinn is a teacher and Joe is one of her students. They both know the dangers they face if caught together. They both have secrets in their past that can come back and bite them. The twists and turns are artfully done and the way the author plotted the characters and book are good. A good read for entertainment.

Joe is an adult taking a class at night and is infatuated with her. Quinn is taken with him but she tries to keep her distance for the sake of her job. But he takes her out and shows how to be free. But she is aware her past will come back to haunt her. It is left on cliffhanger. I can’t wait to see how the story unfolds.

This is book six in the Forbidden series bit book one in the Temptation duet. This is Joe’s story. I could not wait to find out more about Joe as he flutters in the background of previous books in this series. This a student and teacher relationship where both characters know its wrong but fate and attraction keep challenging them. I love the twist where Quinn is the teacher and Joe is the student. Like I said we readers have met Joe before in previous books in the series but this book gives his character a whole new outlook for me. It may be Quinn that brings out this side of him but boy oh boy, I like it…..alot. What a great story with amazing characters that pack alot of depth and heat as their journey begins. I will be ever so not patiently waiting for book two. Enjoy!

We finally get the start of Joe’s story. It’s not the whole story and I’m anxiously awaiting the conclusion already. This first part is from Quinn’s point of view and it’s intense. I felt on edge the whole time trying to figure out what her deal was. Joe coming in and giving her exactly what she needed was downright sexy and I love them together. They both have pasts they’ve run from and are trying to become better people but the chaos Quinn comes with will be a doozy once the next book comes out. That cliffhanger left my heart pounding and unable to sleep. Tracy does it again reeling you in and leaving you on edge waiting for more
