Review
This one was different, because--in MY eyes--there was nothing innocent, or easily "overlooked" or excused, about their relationship. Their attraction was primal. To me, it was a greedy, needy, consequences-be-damned love story. Or lust story. ~ Maryse (maryse.net)
This book is one of the best books that I've ever read. Ever. In fact, I'm even going to go out on a limb here and say that it's also the best book that I've ever read involving a student/teacher relationship. Lord knows there are plenty of books revolving around that theme out there, but none could be described as pure perfection like this one can. ~ Alyssa (My Secret Romance)
Mark's character was so well done. He was gentle, caring and patient with Cadence. I was nervous about liking him at first because I didn't know his true intentions but watching as their love progressed throughout the story he really proved himself. ~ Hootie (Globug and Hootie need a Book)
It was hot, forbidden and thrilling. But I love taboo books because you just never know what you're "supposed" to feel. Y'know? Should you root for them? I really wanted to. Heck, I did. Did it feel wrong? Sure. Absolutely. Did it stop me from feeling that way? Nope. It was like my brain and my heart were at war and it was a constant battle to see which one could come out on top. ~ Aestas (Aestas Book Blog)
This is what makes a great book - the author takes such a complex situation and really makes you think - is it wrong to follow your feelings and fall in love? Is this taboo or just a case of fate? Yes I was uncomfortable in some situations and even at times wanted to cover my eyes but I couldn't stop reading! ~ Christine (Shh Moms Reading)

S. Walden will pull you in, keep you, and make you think!
By Kelly Cockerham
So, here's my disclaimer:
I do not approve of much older men with younger women. I just don't; and I think that 28 can be defined as much older when you're talking about a girl who is 17/18. When a 50 year old and a 40 year old are together, 10 years doesn't mean quite so much, and I say more power to them; but 10 years to a teenager is a lot of rings on a tree. Those years are vital years in terms of development. Honestly, older men with much younger women tick me off. I think it's wrong to get your hooks into a girl who doesn't really know who she is yet, so you can make her be who you want her to be (and the same goes for much older women with younger men).
Now that I've made my position clear, I'll step down from my soapbox and continue with my review.
S. Walden is good. This book is good. I probably wasn't halfway through this book before I tossed my moral compass into the Chesapeake. I'm not proud of that but it's true. I was reading this book, relaxing on the boat, and I thought, "Screw it! I'm going with you, Ms. Walden!" And splash! My morals sank to the bottom. I think your morals will take a flying leap, too; so, if you think you want to fight this older man/hot-for-teacher thing, then you better get a death grip on them!
We open this book to Cadence, a 17 year old stuck in juvie. She's schlepping trash on the side of the highway and--whammo!--she runs into Mr. Hottie, or as she calls him, "Midnight in a Perfect World (you'll understand when you read it)." She's feeling it, seems like he might be as well, until they're rudely interrupted and it's back to work. Then, we flash forward to Cadence's first day back at school, or, if you will, her return to Hell. She walks into her very first class, and who does she see? Midnight in a Perfect World. And we're off!
I won't spoil it for you and give you a blow by blow, but if you've ever been to high school then you know what kind of hell a girl who's just returning from juvie faces. It's not pretty, and I can honestly say that, judging by this book, kids are just as mean and stupid in high school as they ever were. It's this exact thing that turned me to the Dark Side and made my morals take a swim with the fishes. I have a pretty vocal inner teenager; we'll call her Little K. Little K was probably just about as unhappy as Cadence (but for very different reasons) way back in high school, and she would have given just about anything to have someone, anyone, pay attention to her, to treat her like she was someone who mattered. So, when Mr. Connelly started in with his small, kind gestures, I'll admit it, Little K went full throttle for him (and she's not easy to hold back). There's a scene with a Wet Wipe that sounds totally unsexy, but Little K was holding back tears. Little K would have killed for a man with a Wet Wipe. Seriously, girls, it's a tender moment. After that, all I could see of my morals were bubbles.
I spent the rest of the book in a tizzy fighting Little K for emotional control. I mean, I'm a grown-up and I know the signs of a sexual predator, right? This girl is the perfect target, so I was constantly on guard and freaking out about Mark (see, now that the morals are officially gone, he's Mark) exposing himself as a creep in the end. And honestly, it is a little creepy. I mean he's her teacher and he's got ten years on her; and then there's the whole issue of her sexual inexperience! This girl's been no where, and suddenly they're discussing oral sex and he's saying he wants to go down on her--eventually. He's not pushy, I'll give him that, but the jaded, reluctant grown-up in me, thought, "Uh huh. I see what you're doing, mister! A little reverse psychology, Jedi mind trick!" Point is: I was worried, but not Little K. She said, "Screw it! Better yet, screw him!" See what I'm dealing with here?
Our main character, Cadence, is so likeable. Clearly, Little K and I felt for her. She's so 17/18. I mean, this girl is real. She's emotional and dramatic, and she so badly wants to be grown up. She's also needy and rather easily led. When her father tells her to go to her room, she goes. I mean, she actually tells Mark things like, "My dad took my car away." She's a kid. As a bonafide grown-up, I found myself wondering how a grown man could find this attractive in a serious way. If some hot, young guy said this to me, I'd want to pat him on the head, you know? Cadence is a kid-- but she's on the verge, and maybe Mark's more willing and able to look ahead.
I think Ms. Walden does this age so well. If you've read Going Under (which I reviewed and recommend--go look it up!), then you remember Brooke, and just how fully realized she was as a character. Both of these girls embody that teenage girl, that brain, that body, that time. Cadence gets jealous and throws a fit, an irresponsible, damn-near-going-to-get-them-caught fit at school, for the love of Pete! She cries and screams and hides in bathrooms! But for all of that, she's waking up to something new, something she's never felt before and something that is just too big for her to fully get her mind around. Give Cadence some time, and she'll get it together, I have no doubt.
On to Mark. Oh Mark. It's possible that Little K maybe got a hand from me when she tossed the morals once the image of Michael Vartan snuck into my head. I know he doesn't look as Ms. Walden describes Mark, but he's my Mark. My brain made a Never Been Kissed/ Josie-Grossie jump and I was powerless against it. At any rate, I adore Michael Vartan, so every time I pictured Mark--BAM! There came a point though (remember girls, every book needs drama), where Michael Vartan or not, I wanted to punch Mark. I wanted HIM to grow up and I was really, really scared that he was a creep. He seriously made me doubt him, but I say to the readers--keep going!
If you haven't read a book by S. Walden, you should and here's why: She never lets you off easy. She pushes the limits--always--and I love that about her. The only other time I've tossed my morals out for a much older man and youngun of a girl was in Fortune's Rocks by Anita Shreve, which is a favorite of mine. I tossed them whole-heartedly, without reservation. I tossed them in the belief that there was no way that story was going to go wrong. The beauty of Ms. Walden's work comes in the reality of it, I think, not the fantasy. This could all very well go wrong. You hear about it every day. Mark could decide he's tired of dating someone so much younger and less mature and leave poor Cadence with some serious issues to overcome. Cadence could get pregnant. Maybe Mark could get thrown in jail. Honestly, there are a lot of ways that this story could implode and any one or all of them would be completely believable, but isn't that life? And isn't that the beauty of life? Anything could go wrong at any time, and yet we keep going; and sometimes things actually work out. Whichever way Ms. Walden takes these two in the future, I'm certain I'll believe her.

* 5 forbidden stars *
By K. A. Lander
I apologise in advance for bad language but this book was F'IN incredible. Completely. Totally. Absolutely out of this world. I loved it.
Cadence has spent the last year of her life in what she considers hell. She's been in juvie for committing one of the stupidest (I admit though, I giggled when I finally found out) crimes. As part of her punishment, whilst in juvie she has to pick up trash on the side of the highway. Humiliation at it's highest form. And it's about to all get worse when she bumps in to one of the hottest people she's ever laid eyes on, 'Midnight in a Perfect World'. Who is this guy that looked at her like she meant the entire world to him, like if he didn't have her he would rather die? She was about to find out..
"He's cute. Very cute. And very smart. And very manly... And very off-limits."
"Those are always the best love stories,"
"Which ones?"
"The dangerous ones."
A couple of days later, whilst on her first day back at school, she finds out exactly who this guy is. Her brand new, very hot, very cute, calculus teacher. Don't get me wrong, I know it was wrong and bad and completely inappropriate but I could not help rooting for these two. The attraction between them was instant and I was pleased that nothing happened for a long time. I can't say that they tried very hard to deny their feelings because well, really, they didn't but Cadence at least really struggled to come to terms with what she was feeling. A 17 year old crushing on her teacher? A Christian 17 year old who has spent her life going to church and believing in rights and wrongs and that s3x before marriage is all kinds of wrong. I actually felt a little sad for her for having all of these struggles.
Cadence's home life was awful after returning from her little stint in juvie. As I said, her whole family is Christian and spend a huge chunk of their time at church, so having a daughter who had been so 'bad' was surely embarrassing for them and her punishment was to not be able to live at all. She had no freedom, no friends, no life. Maybe a crush on her school teacher is just what she needed..
"You're the saddest thing I've ever seen, Cadence. The loneliest thing I've ever seen. And any chance I get to see you smile, I'm gonna take it."
GAH! I just loved Mark or Mr Connelly so much.. I know it was wrong, he is 28 after all, but he cared about Cadence, wanted her to be happy and he knew all too well how much trouble he could get in if anybody was to find out, but his love for Cadence was way more important to him than that. I completely understand that many people are going to have an issue with this, I mean I was sure I should too but I just didn't. I didn't find that any of it was 'too much' or that it was wildly inappropriate. Yes, I did feel slightly uncomfortable with some things. For starters Cadence, when it comes to anything to do with s3x, she is very naive and finds it way too uncomfortable to talk about it, let alone partake in anything so that was slightly too much at times. But Mark never pressurized her, pushed her, or made her do anything she didn't want to. And I think that helped me believe and fall for their love story.
"No. It's not conditional. I don't love you because you love me. I love you because I love you."
S Walden's writing was what really made this book. A story like this could have really gone either way in whether I was going to love it. If it isn't done properly, in the right way, with no sleaze then it just isn't going to go well. That wasn't the case with Good though. It was written beautifully and perfectly and I didn't have one issue with it. The prologue sucks you in "Cadence.." I looked him square in the face. "They know." and oh my god I had to hold on tight and ride the crazy. I had to know where the story was going, what caused these two to be sneaking around and who knew? I was hooked.
"I'll take all your breath away, Cadence. But I'll give it all back. I promise."
This is book #1 of a two part series but there is no relationship cliffhanger. Yes there is a cliffy of sorts but Cadence and Mark are happy and ready to fight for their love. I can't wait for #2 because I just know they are going to have one hell of a battle on their hands!

Could not put it down!!!!
By Jessica Sotelo (Angie & Jessica's Dreamy Reads)
Wow. Ok... so....
I must begin by expressing my undying devotion to S. Walden. She's officially one of my all time favorite authors EVER. And I can say that without a doubt, even though this is only the second book I've ever read by this author. Slap her name on the phone book and I'll read it word for word. Some authors just nail it... And she knocked it out of the park with this book.
This book was amazing. Like forgo sleep, abandon all parental responsibility, don't eat, sleep, bathe until the last page kind of GOOD. Amazing.
I love a good story about forbidden taboo relationships. Teacher student relationships are right up my ally. And this one did not disappoint. This book was perfectly written, perfectly told, perfectly perfect perfect in every way.
I adored these characters. Mark had me at Converse and skinny jeans. Cadence was awesome. The dialogue was humorous and smart. I mean SMART. The characters and this story line were so well developed, so layered... the Christianity component to the plot added both complexity to Cadence's personality and an underlying theme of what we think is right and wrong to the whole plot.
I could go on and on about how much I loved this book. The dynamic between cadence and her family, cadence and Avery, cadence and Mark, Mark and his class... not a single criticism can I find. It was all so pitch perfect, spot on.
I laughed. I felt fear for where this could all go. And where it went, I never expected. I loved the build between cadence and Mark. I loved the twists and turns, the heartbreak and the romance and the heat... ooooooh, the heat!
Basically you must read this. And do it now. I want more. I want it yesterday. And I never want it to stop.
