This was one of my favorite tropes – Teacher/Student! So Taboo! Holly was a barely 18 year old senior on a scholarship at a prestigious academy and 22 year old Evan Marshall was a long term English Lit substitute teacher. Everyone has their eyes on the cute new teacher except Holly, who was too busy working before and after school at a diner to support her self and her non-working alcoholic mother.
But Holly catches Evan’s eye, and their attraction is bigger than both of them. When it becomes too much to contain, they begin sneaking around. Evan’s father is on the campaign field and can’t have a scandal. He dislikes Evan’s profession and is embarrassed of him. Wanted him to be a lawyer. Holly is embarrassed of her mother. Both have jealous friends who could cause big problems if word of their relationship gets out.
I loved the sweetness and innocence of Holly. Evan seemed genuine in his feelings for Holly although he made me mad a few times. This story was good and had an HEA. I gave it FIVE GLOWING STATS!!
Jessa York has a hit with Mr. Marshall’s Method!. She takes a taboo/forbidden relationship and makes it feel natural and necessary. Holly is 18, but in her senior year of high school. She is mature beyond her years due to the fact that she works many hours to support herself and her mother, who has many health issues. I really wanted her to sleep! I felt tired reading all the work she put in to just barely survive.! Evan is a 22 year old temporary teacher at Holly’s school. He has lived an easy, but not so happy life. The chemistry these two have is undeniable. They start a relationship that could be disastrous, but seems worth it. I love taboo romances, but they always make me nervous. I feel like I’m gonna get caught with the characters. I think that’s what makes Jesse York’s writing so good. I felt like I was there and I was nervous, but these two HAD to be together. There was no other outcome for me. Their love, desire and care was felt and my nervousness melted away. There are some issues with jealousy between friends and hurtful actions, but they are resolved in a way that is right for the characters. I really felt like Ivy was a friend, she’s just used to getting her way and I feel like there is something happening with her that may give some insight on why she did what she did. Alex and Paige are amazing and I can’t wait to read more about them. Wonderful forbidden/taboo/soulmate love story !
Oh my Jessa York has done it again. I’ve been following Jessa since her first release. Jessa I’m amazed at how talented you are and with this new genre you are writing.
Mr. Marshall’s Method is hot, steamy and forbidden love. Evan and Holly’s story is one you don’t want to miss. Teacher/student relationship, forbidden love.
I have been waiting on this book from Jessa York. Wow, the wait was well worth it. The chemistry between Mr. Marshall and Holly was instant and hot. This book will have you laughing, crying, mad and looking for something to fan with. This book had me hooked from beginning to end.
Wow!! Anyone for some teacher/student angst? I loved Holly and Evans story. I have read all of Jessa York’s books and she just keeps getting better. I can’t wait to read about Paige next!
Jessa York has been teasing her readers with this story for awhile now and I have been eagerly anticipating the chance to get my hands on this one ever since! Let’s just say that the wait was well worth it and I absolutely adored every moment of Holly and Evan’s emotionally captivating story.
Mr. Marshall’s Method is a student/teacher forbidden romance that was certainly not lacking in the HEAT department. The chemistry between Holly Anderson and Evan Marshall set my heart on fire and that intense ache didn’t ease up the entire time I was devouring their story. The author managed to perfectly tell their story, while making you feel everything. Their love was beautiful and the moment these two laid eyes on each other, it was all over. They were destined to be together, even if their situation was complicated…
Readers will be taken on a rollercoaster ride full of twists and turns that will leave you second guessing everything. If you are a fan of forbidden romance, you won’t regret picking up this story! Jessa York did a phenomenal job with her storytelling ability and character development with this one and I can’t wait to see what the next book, Professor Richter’s Rules, has to hold!
I loved Evan and Holly, and I think this is Jessa’s best book yet.
I’m a big fan of student/teacher romance, and this book delivered. It has everything I want to read: it’s sweet, sexy, a little bit taboo with the conflict of him being her teacher. There’s no big age gap, which I know can be a turnoff for some readers.
I encourage you to read this book as soon as you can.
Holy He** I want my own Mr. Marshall. The heartache that Holly has thrown at her would make alot of people crumble. Evan is the only bright thing in her life. Until theatre. But everything is thrown up into Chaos. But Holly handles it best. Alex is one of the funniest Characters I have seen in a long time. I can not wait for more.
Jessa did it again! She made me fall in love with the characters Evan & Holly and their story! This forbidden love story has all the feels and I couldn’t put it down! By the way where was Mr. Marshall when I was in school? 😉
Wow. Just wow. I’m not really into the taboo teacher/student thing, but I’m glad I gave this book a shot! This felt a little like a much more entertaining, nowhere near as needlessly dramatic or drawn out, better version of Slammed (SO much better and more realistic). Evan and Holly know that their attraction is wrong, but they also both know that there’s no walking away from it. What starts out innocently enough rapidly builds into some seriously steamy stuff and a secret relationship. Of course, Holly has to get through her senior year intact, and Evan has to remain walking free, but their romance is unstoppable. Even in the face of jealous and catty acts, their love remains. But when trouble comes for them both, Evan is forced to leave and Holly is forced to live her life completely alone. Will they find their way back to each other, or is this just a forbidden flash in the pan? You’ll have to read to find out just how their story ends!
I adored this story and cant wait for the next installment! Holly is a smart, talented girl with way too much on her shoulders. When a sexy teacher comes along and notes all her potential, things get steamy! Theres some drama, some sexy times and I just want more!
Recommend this for the romance and entertainment. Wonderful characters, some humor, high school friends. Just a good book and a great start to the series. This is a stand alone, but it is helpful to read all 3 books for the HEA. But no cliffhangers. Very good
**2.5 stars**
I love Student/Teacher romances. The forbidden-ness of them just does it for me.
Unfortunately, this one was just okay. There were some parts I liked, yet some, I felt, were a bit predictable and cliché. And sometimes I wanted/needed to be a bit more connected to the characters than I was.
That being said…the writing, IMO, was good. Ms. York was a new-to-me author and even though this story wasn’t a favorite, I’m definitely willing to give her another try.
This book was ok. I think the description interested me more than the book itself.
I really enjoyed this book so much that I ended up reading almost all of them!! The characters are amazing you really fall for them and you wanna know more about the rest of then
