From bestselling author Dr. Rebecca Sharp comes an enemies-to-lovers epic romance with a forbidden twist…Love is angry. Love is blind. Love is envious and loathful.And I loathed Léo Baudin. My new art professor. My enemy.I didn’t move to Rhode Island for this. I came to forget the Troian Milanovic I’d left behind and start fresh where the damage and betrayal couldn’t follow.But Professor Baudin … the damage and betrayal couldn’t follow.
But Professor Baudin wouldn’t let me.
Cold. Caustic. Captivating. He didn’t just push my buttons…
He lit them all up with the indifferent smirk of an aristocratic French asshole.
But how much I loathed him only made my need for him stronger.
To have him would be either victory or loss. There would be no compromise.
To have him would be war.
So I fought back.
But I was Troy. And he was the wooden horse, full of dangerous secrets I never saw coming.
I was the one who invited him inside my walls, celebrating without seeing through his disguise.
And under the cover of darkness, he laid siege to my body, my mind, and finally, my heart.
The first may be a myth, but this time the history books would show that if Troy fell, it was with her all.
The Fall of Troy is the first book in the Odyssey Duet.

The Fall of Troy is a turbulent rollercoaster of emotion. Sharp makes you wish you could read again for the first time as soon as you have finished.
I fell in love with Troian in Hypothetically, Sharp’s novella in the No Limits anthology. I immediately needed her story after those events take place. I craved to fall deep into Troy’s devastation, and boy did I ever fall.
Sharp crafts her characters with such precision, there is absolutely no way you can read this story and not be consumed with Troy and Léo.
TFOT is the best age gap taboo that I have ever read.
I am so happy that Author Rebecca Sharp wrote this book. Its been amazing! I laughed, I cried and I was pissed off at the whole situation but you fall in love with your whole heart even when it’s wrong and it really isn’t wrong because they are two consenting adults! The ending had me in tears and a shattered heart!!

A phenomenal book with an amazing storyline!
I can truly say that I haven’t been this excited about a book release from a fairly new-to-me author in a really long time
It was an exhilarating read .. once the H and h became part of the same scene the sparks were flying and I held my breath not knowing how it would end .. and after having read it, I still don’t know since it’s book 1 in a duet but this book is one that I will be shouting from the rooftops for others to read
It’s a forbidden love story with so much angst that it goes beyond the fine line between love and hate .. the chemistry and magnetism that Dr Rebecca Sharp was able to craft and weave into the story was mesmerizing and invigorating! Easily one of my top 5 reads of 2019!
The Fall of Troy by Rebecca Sharp was EVERYTHING! I felt more intense emotion while reading this book than I have in a long time. The characters grabbed hold of my heart from the very first pages. I felt everything they did. I hurt when they hurt and I loved when they loved. The angst and tension in this story was overwhelming. My very favorite kind of book, with an age gap and forbidden student teacher relationship. The storyline had me biting my nails wanting to fix everything for Troy and Leo. I wanted them to find their happiness. Instead, the book ended on a cliffhanger that had me pulling my hair out and throwing my Kindle and debating whether I was brave enough to beg the author to have the next book early. I absolutely loved this story and I can not wait to read the rest. I need everything fixed right now.
I literally just finished this book and my emotions are all over the d@mn place! This book deserves a review written in the chaos of my feelings going haywire. Leo, just, Oh. My. God. He is anger, lust, sin, darkness, light. He is perfection. Troy is his weakness, his kryptonite, his redemption. Emotions bled off the pages and into my soul leaving me fulfilled and wanting all at the same time. Rebecca Sharp is truly a master with words making you feel everything and so much more. Troy and Leo are so much more than forbidden love, they are the epitome of beautifully broken people finding absolute inspiration in each other. The wait for the next book may kill me but what a way to die!
I can’t even decipher what I am feeling right now after reading this BOOK. It should come with a health warning because it is one intense story. The chemistry between the characters was explosive, just be prepared to fall head over heels in love with this book, and the SEXY, tortured French professor Leo Baudin he will rule your heart.This is a Forbidden Romance Student /Teacher and Taboo written at its best.
Professor Leo Baudin is an angry, angsty, broody asshole and I loved him to bits, you are drawn to his broken pieces because you know that he has a story to tell for sure. Troy is his student and just as angry and unfeeling after being betrayed by the people she loves. They have both suffered anguish and pain and a connection is made as they see eachothers broken parts and want to fix them, it’s a Love/Hate relationship but through the turbulence and chaos of their attraction. I found there was something quite beautiful, Rebecca’s words filled my heart with so much emotion, I thought it would bleed out.
Rebecca Sharp has created her very own masterpiece. The Fall Of Troy has shaped the way to a phenomenal, poetic tale that pulls on your heart and makes you crave more, it is totally addicting and will have you compelled to read way into the early hours of the morning, because you simply cannot put it down.
I Loved it so much and it is definitely one of the best books I have read this year, I cannot wait for the second book. I am tearing my hair out waiting.. Lol but I know it will be worth the wait.
I highly recommend it, its a MUST READ… MAGNIFIQUE..
I’ve just finished this book and I’m not entirely sure how I feel about the book. There were times I wanted to throw my kindle and just scream. These two were so frustrating but you can feel the need they have for each other. I’m not sure if it’s good for them or not but I need the next book now.
THE FALL OF TROY by Rebecca Sharp is the First book in The Odyssey Duet. This starts the story of Troian ‘Troy’ Milanovic and Professor Léo Baudin.
Troy has always tried to please her father and others in her life. But then she feels betrayed by her father and best friend, which leads her to go to her mother. Now living with her mother she tries to move forward with her life and do what pleases her while allowing her heart to grow cold. This leads her to Art school where she ends up meeting Léo. Léo needed a break from his life in Paris which has lead him to take a job as a Professor. Léo and Troy from the start go butting heads with each other but at the same time have attraction sparks flying left and right. Léo is a tough brooding alpha male who I love to read but some may find him somewhat harsh, but again when they set eyes on each other their tough act slowly starts loosing it strength.
I can’t wait to see what happen next when them…cannot wait!!
The Fall of Troy by Rebecca Sharp was absolutely EVERYTHING that I look for in a forbidden romance story and I am head over heels in love with this author’s beautifully poetic storytelling ability! Her words wholeheartedly captivated my body, mind, and soul; leaving me completely breathless as I inhaled every moment of this story! I still cannot believe all the twists that this story threw at us and I don’t know how I am going to wait for the next book because I need it like RIGHT NOW! Seriously that cliffhanger ending left me with a fit of emotions, but I have no doubt that the wait is going to be worth it…even if it feels like it’s too far away!
Troian “Troy” Milanovic and Professor Léo Baudin’s chemistry managed to light my heart on fire and holy sh*t did I find myself struggling to catch my breath. Their story was steamy as f*ck and my goodness was I burning up from the intensity of their romance. These two broken souls manage to find love and begin repairing their hearts, but with obstacles standing in their way they are going to have to fight for what they want!
This story is a masterpiece and a MUST read story for all forbidden romance fans! I cannot freaking wait to get my hands on The Judgment of Paris, the final story in The Odyssey Duet!
If you haven’t been hypnotized for real in your life and want to have the experience, read The Fall of Troy by Rebecca Sharp. I have lost all sense of time and place while reading this insanely captivating story of love, hate, art and passion.
Troy is a beautifuly broken and absolutely inspiring girl. Her heart has been shattered into pieces and she has to restart her life literally. Neglected by the genius father, abandoned by mother, betrayed by best friend and still ready for battle. The author sucked me in and let me feel every single of her cut, tear and burn. It was too exhilarating and sensational to describe in words. And then came her biggest challenge. Professor Leo Baudin. Her new art teacher, her salvation, her destruction, her revival and her fall.
Dear Lord please save me from the spell of the professor. He is so enticing, intriguing and enigmatic. He is tempation,seduction and sin personified. He has broken the gates of Troy’s raw closed heart and claimed her like a graceful lion, a hungry predator, a fallen angel and a forbidden fantasy. Their chemistry is burning the pages and I will be probably damned to hell for all my reactions. They are both suffering and the only way to express their affection is through hate and loathing .The author’s writing is so poetic and lyrical. She just captured my heart and ensnared it with her angsty, graceful, elegant and explosive story telling. And then she left me with that massive cliffhanger. She broke me down till I couldn’t feel anything except their sorrow and angst.
Rebecca Sharp has created a masterpiece of never ending emotions. I drowned in the heartbreaking and breathtaking feelings. I have not recovered yet from the aftermath. A sensational, mindblowing and epic story.
Received ARC for Honest Review
Unbelievably Amazing! A Masterpiece.
WOW! That was one emotional roller coaster ride from start to finish. This story ripped my heart out, stomped on it and shoved it back in my chest. It was emotionally intense, heartbreaking, angry and super hot and sexy! Troy and Leo are such emotional characters. The love and hate that they feel for each other makes such an explosion on the page. Everything about them being together is so wrong and taboo but they are so right for each other. Their feelings and emotions are intense, raw and dirty. There were times in this book that my heart just couldn’t take it anymore. And that ending – UGH – I think I threw my tablet down a little too hard!
Favorite line in this book: “I don’t want sunshine and rainbows romance. I want earth-quaking and sky-splitting love.” SO BEAUTIFUL! Who wouldn’t want this kind of love!
Every word in this book is like poetry. So rich and full of emotion. I absolutely loved this book and I can’t wait to read the next one.
This author is new to me and I just want to run out and buy everyone of her books to absorb her words.
Worth more than 5 Stars. Highly Recommend.
* I received an arc but am leaving a voluntary and honest review •
There are no words to adequately describe how much I loved this book, although, forbidden perfection fits well.
I can even process all of it so I’m just gonna throw some of my favourite quotes out:
“He didn’t steal my breath, he ripped it from my small, clinging fingers like you pull a toy from a child.”
“Just because you can’t stop a tornado or a hurricane, ma petite, doesn’t mean you don’t run from it.”
“What he hid was the same but opposite and I was drawn to him by forces that even nature couldn’t defy.”
I simultaneously loved and loathed Rebecca Sharp for this book because it was FUCKING FANTASTIC but ended on a cliffhanger.
It’s one of the angstiest books I have EVER read and I’m desperate for the Judgment of Paris (seriously, CAN I HAVE IT NOW?)
