Misconduct

Product Information

Former tennis player Easton Bradbury is trying to be the best teacher she can be, trying to reach her bored students, trying to forget her past. What brought her to this stage in her life isn't important. She can't let it be. But now one parent-teacher meeting may be her undoing . . . I'd highly recommend this standalone novel for those fans of forbidden, political, and steamy romances. It had it all! Misconduct takes place in New Orleans and we get a great glimpse into a city with so much art and culture. She sets the tone perfectly.

When Tyler Marek walks into his son’s classroom expecting to meet his new history teacher, he cannot believe the woman standing before him is the same woman he’s been fantasising about for the past six months. A self-made billionaire and aspiring politician, Tyler is a man driven by his ambitions and his need to excel in all aspects of his professional life, but his race to the top has cost him his relationship with a son he barely knows and who cannot stand the sight of him. The only person who gets through to him is his new teacher, Ms. Bradbury, and while her progressive teaching methods might show him a way to communicate with his own son, everything else about the feisty, strong-minded young woman fails to fit into his life. Yet he cannot get her out of his head, drawn to her unpredictable personality like a moth to a flame, and thus brazenly pursuing her every chance he gets. Misconduct incorporated a few plot devices I tend to gravity towards. One, that forbidden romance theme. Easton (female MC) is a new graduate student in teaching when she gets a job at a private upscale school. She knows the parents will be a challenge with their power and prestige but is confident in her ability to teach young teens. Until she sets eyes on a student's father- Tyler Marek- a man she has a one-night history with 6 months ago. She disappeared into the night and never thought she would see him again.I'm looking forward to future works from Penelope Douglas. I was hoping for a secondary character spin-off but after that twist, I don't think that'll be in the cards. But I can still hope... I loved Easton. Easton was a former tennis player but she was young and the sport didn’t end well for her. She is also getting over past pains and all of that has shaped her into the person she is now. Now, she’s strong, smart and independent. She loves being a teacher and she teaches with a passion. Both Tyler and Easton go into this thing between them thinking it is temporary and that nothing serious can come of it. For one, it would be considered scandalous and could jeopardize his campaign, and her career. Most importantly this was Tyler's time to bond with his son and to convince Christian that he truly mattered to him. The writing is great. The story flows naturally. The plot is original and engaging. The book is not only hot and sexy but also full of meaningful and wise messages and lessons on parenting and teaching. Being a parent and a teacher myself I found this book original, fascinating, educational and inspirational. I love everything about it. Tyler has all the money he could possibly want but it is not enough for him. Now he wants power. He is single and a father to a teenage boy, who attends Easton's history class. When Tyler arrives to a parent/teacher conference and sees Easton he realizes it is not the first time he has met her.

What’s better than a steamy forbidden love story? Not much! Penelope Douglas does forbidden so well. Her writing is always amazing and this story is intriguing and has the best kind of sexual tension. I listened to the audio book and loved it! The fact that Tyler was super slow at making choices annoyed me to no end. He wanted to have it all and couldn't... or should I say wouldn't prioritize. He was a very frustrating character for me.Easton and Tyler meet at a party and have a major connection. easton leaves the party with her brother and nothing ever comes of it… until they meet again. At Easton’s workplace. Easton is a new teacher (it’s her first year teaching) and she just happens to be teaching Tyler’s son. Yep! You read that right! this book was just smut honestly. there's a story here, don't get me wrong, but it fell flat and i know this was supposed to be forbidden and all that but i didn't really feel the angst when it came to the forbidden stuff. And speaking about her sassiness….loved how she can take on all the stereotype politicians…..absolutely brilliant!!!

Easton teaches…. Wait for it… Tyler’s son… **GASP**. I know right?! Don’t you want to die over this storyline?! Of course nothing can happen between Easton and Tyler because Easton can’t play favorites with her students, but both Tyler and Easton have not forgotten that crazy first impression night they encountered years ago. Easton and Tyler’s romance is forbidden from the start, but that only makes them want each other more. No matter how hard they try, that can’t fight that pull that brings them together. Easton doesn’t do relationships do to her past, and Tyler is a single dad trying to make his relationship with his son right. It’s doomed from the start, the two of them, but they can’t stay away.And while everyone around me appeared relaxed – due to the heavy flow of champagne, I was sure – it was just a mask on top of their masks.
