Former model
Ivy is looking to forget the past and start over. She moves into a college
dorm, where she finds old letters in her mattress. They were love letters to
the previous tenant. Words in the letters ignite a passion in her, making her
wonder who this guy is.
After
getting away from the spotlight, Ivy aches to be a normal girl and get her
college degree. She doesn’t want the lame college boys who only want the model
she used to be. No, she wants the author of those letters.
She soon
finds out that the man used to be a professor of the college and that
“Jennifer” was one of his students whom he was having an affair with. The story
goes that a fit of jealousy caused a student’s murder, and the professor was
the accused and was awaiting trial. How could the hands of a passionate guy be
stained with blood?
“He’s a
stranger to me in my head, but so familiar to my heart.” (73) The whole world
thinks he’s a monster, but Ivy won’t let herself believe it, so she starts
writing back to him.
“He could be
dangerous, but he’s my comfort zone. He could be poisonous, but he’s my
elixir.” (75)
He gets
closer and closer to her, reaching her emotionally and sinfully from behind
bars. Talk about some powerful words. Letters are erotically charged that it’s
enough to make any girl swoon.
The
professor turns her on and scares her at the same time. The man is too
powerful. The compelling part was trying to figure him out. Was he for real or
was he dangerous?
Lovely and
well-written. A worthy read.
My rating: 4 stars
