I didn’t know I’d risk everything to be with him.I thought he was the assistant football coach.I thought I would protect my teaching career from anything.I thought I could stay away from him.I thought wrong.
This is the first I’ve read R.L. Kenderson. I will definitely be reading more from them. The authors took one of my favorite tropes….a taboo teacher/student relationship… and turned it into one of my favorites.
This book is well written and edited. I was immediately pulled into the story, fell in love with Mace who is wiser beyond his years. Eden tried so hard to resist Maces advances. No way was Mace going to take NO for an answer. This is an extremely hot read with a great story to go along. I highly recommend!!!

The book is a good romance read. The story has a good story line, and the story is a well written read. The characters are good, and they have good chemistry. The story is a good forbidden romance read.

I will admit that this was a tough one to decide if I wanted to read or not because the “theme”/”troupe” is not one I read. But, I read this because I love R.L. Kenderson’s books. I am so happy I did. They tell you several times throughout the book that everyone is at the age of consent. What I love about them is they always give you such a full story. Their books are just the wham bam thank you mam books. You feel the connection, you feel the worry and chemistry. The end of the book was so amazing and just tied it up perfectly…from her going home to the ride in the car :D.

I love a forbidden romance and teacher/student ones are my absolute favorite. Passing Grade is just that, now before people start wondering the characters are of legal age. This one was hot, angsty, and one that I didn’t want to put down at all while reading it.
Mace and Eden have chemistry from the very first moment that they lock eyes. Now I wish when I was in high school back in the day I was in school with someone like Mace cause even though he is only 18, he puts grown men to shame with the level of his sexiness. Eden is the good girl, well until she isn’t and breaks the rules by beginning a relationship with Mace. Now there were some misunderstandings between them and part of that is due to Eden’s history so I could understand why she thought the way she did. When the truth comes out about their relationship to certain people their reactions were understandable but also caused Eden pain. Will Mace and Eden’s relationship last, will they get their happily ever after or will the consequences of their actions change their lives forever? Well you have to read it to find out duh!
This is the first book I have read by R.L. Kenderson but it will not be my last for sure. If you love teacher/student romances as much as this book whore, then Passing Grade is for you!

This story was way better than expected. I was expecting a simple teacher sleeps with student story but it was so much more!
The storyline is believable. A hidden secret relationship that turns into so much more. I laughed, I cringed, I cried. The cherry on top was the epilogue and the happy ending.
I would recommend this story.

Whew, this is a hot one! A terrific teacher/student romance with lots of heat and interesting characters. A young teacher, a mature football hero and a charged first encounter that sets Ms. F and Mace on a sexy journey to love. But can they last? Ms. F/Eden thinks not and tries to push him away. Mace on the other hand knows what he wants and goes for it. He’s a dirty talking sexy beast who knows his own mind and heart. He did seem at little too mature at times for his age but as the story progressed I like him more and more. Eden was up and down for me especially at the beginning. I just wanted her to get over the negative self image issues. Mace helped with that as he took over and pulled Eden into a steamy relationship that melted my panties! Loved the ending and the epilogue. Swoon! This is a well written, easy read with sweet emotion, some humor and loads of steam. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC.

Dirty talk, dirty thoughts, dirty actions. Oh my god. This is hot but oh so naughty. No matter the age, still the student. Once you get past that it is all action full speed ahead. I was totally pulled into the story.

This was such an easy novel to breeze through. I love a good taboo novel, student and teachers, but they always seem over dramatize. Eden and Mace are the perfect duo to have you’re interest peaked while slowly stealing your heart.
Eden is starting a new job. Not know the first guy to turn her eye is a student.
Mace isn’t some young kid. He’s 18 and knows exactly what he wants.
Eden fights the attraction, very hard. However Mace fights harder.
They have the easiest relationship after starting and will keep you swooning chapter after chapter. It wouldn’t be a good novel without some unfinished business sneaking into play. Highly recommend this for any romance lovers!

Eden Margaret Fijalkowski is a young high school AP Science teacher. New to Texas, but excited to be working with her best friend from college, Eden falls for Mace Wagner before she even knows he’s a student of hers… Mace is an Adonis. An alpha Adonis. And he doesn’t want the pretty skinny girl. He wants the curvy and more mature woman. He sets his sights on Eden, Ms. F.
This book is definitely in the the genre of taboo romance. A forbidden love that burns hot! (Don’t worry, Mace is 18.) Mace is seriously alpha and knows way more about sex than Eden. It was getting a little dicey for me near the end, but Eden redeems herself and so does Mace. I was pleased with the ending and I enjoyed this book. I’m definitely going to be reading more books by this author. A solid 4 stars!

Imagine her surprise when said hottie is actually her student, Mace. She knows she can’t get involved with a student but Mace doesn’t care! He wants her! This is one hot book!

A taboo read that you really can’t help but fall in love with. This should be wrong, but there is no feeling of pedophilia or anything perverse. It’s two consenting adults who have an undeniable attraction. This is not a teacher taking advantage of her position with a student. This is simply hot, magnetic chemistry. Mace is of age, he is mature, and of sound mind. Eden tried to avoid it, tries to keep things on the up-and-up, then in a moment of weakness, the walls come down and she gives into her desires. What happens next is steamy, sensual, and oh so hot! What starts out as lust, soon turns into something so much more.
Don’t shy away from this one because of the troupe, this is worth the read!

Eden has had her world tilted on its axis, and she is beyond frustrated. When she and Mace give in to their mutual attraction, it sets of some major fireworks! He may be younger than her, but he is all man! I loved the steady development of this book, especially the way Eden’s character was so easy to relate to. This was simply an older woman, younger man romance with a teacher/student twist, and Mace may have been just a hot male at the beginning of his prime, but he was way more experienced than Eden, and he showed his maturity in a wonderful way. A delightfully sexy read with a great cast of characters, and I could totally relate to this story.

I normally do not read books about this subject, I personally have never enjoyed the cougar situations and when I received this I wasn’t planning on reading it, however this is R.L. Kenderson we are talking about here so I gave it a go. The writing was as enjoyable as is normally with R.L. books, and while this is not my cup of tea as I mentioned in outset I didn’t hate it and I read til the end.

Another steamy fun read from RL Kenderson. Eden follows her best friend to Texas for a teaching job and has an intense instant connection with a teacher and football coach. But it turns out he’s not a fellow teacher but her student. Mace sets out to slowly seduce Eden knowing she’s a rule follower and thinks he’s off limits. Mace doesn’t want ANY limits with her. It’s so bad it good. Eden soon finds out that when Mace decides to claim her she can’t turn away. A HEA seems impossible for these two but don’t discount Mace’s tenacity, A must read! I was lucky enough to receive an advanced copy from the authors.

This was a story about a teacher-student relationship. Eden was a new teacher and Mace was her 18-year-old student who looked 25. When she first met him she thought he was the assistant football coach. This was really a beautiful love story between two consenting adults but could be considered taboo. Well written with strong characters and a steamy storyline. I read a reader copy and voluntarily chose to write a review.

So hot…but shouldn’t be… Eden’s the teacher, Mace is the student – an over 18 high school senior that looks like he’s 25. That is exactly what new teacher Eden thought when she first saw him at a football game. But the second time she saw him he was in her classroom as her student!
This is so hawwwt. My emotions were so back and forth throughout the whole book! It was so steamy, fun, secretive, dangerous and exciting. Then I would remember he was a student and I’d get kinda creeped out. But then turn around and be totally smitten again.
I really loved this book!!! My heart is still fluttering!

This book was really good. It’s not at all like the title suggests. The teacher didn’t take advantage of the unwitting student, and the student wasn’t seduced into action. She doesn’t bribe him with grades. Passing Grade was a glimpse into the mind of a teacher who falls for her student. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I read this book, but I enjoyed it. 5 stars and two thumbs up!
