Teach Me New Tricks by Ali Parker

He Wants To Be His Teacher’s Pet. ENJOY!!

Leila is a Professor at a university in Texas and she has worked very hard to achieve that position. AT the moment she does not have tenure but her classes are very popular. Especially her Greek Mythology mini mester which is where she meets Christopher. He is a very wealthy widower with a rather angry 16 year old son who is still mourning the unexpected death of his mum the previous year in a car accident. Christopher has moved them across country from Minnesota to have a fresh start as Olin, his son, was having trouble at school that were becoming a serious problem and ,also, because everywhere he looked he was reminded of his late wife. He is way too young to just play golf and fish all day since he retired very early at 44 years old so he decides to take a course at uni that might help him with his beliefs that there is more to our existence than just ‘this life’ on Earth. He may not get all those answers but he meets Leila and he suddenly realises that there is ‘life’ after such severe pain and loss. But staff and students are not allowed to date. There has already been a scandal and the Dean has warned Leila that the uni could not stand any more. But what about her feelings for Christopher and his for her? They are just so good together and Ali Parker, best selling author, makes them ‘come alive’ on the pages of my kindle and it’s almost as if I can see them in my minds eye. Very realistic and charismatic and the banter is just so witty and steamy! Definitely steamy! Have your fans and/or air con set to MAX COOL as you’re going to need it. But why is Alan really there? Something else is going on at the uni, but who/what is it and who will lose their job? A very readable storyline that is engaging and riveting such that you won’t want to put it down. I received a reader’s copy of this book and voluntarily leave my honest opinion of it here. MOST DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED [P.S. The ending is wonderful]
