From the New York Times bestselling author of the Fall Away series who never fails to deliver a “powerfully written contemporary love story…”* 

Former tennis player Easton Bradbury is trying to be the best teacher she can be, trying to reach her bored students and 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…

Meeting Tyler Marek for the first time makes it easy for Easton to see why his son is having trouble in school. The man knows how to manage businesses and wealth, not a teenage boy. Or a young teacher, for that matter, though he tries to. And yet…there is something about him that draws Easton in—a hint of vulnerability, a flash of attraction, a spark that might burn.

Wanting him is taboo. Needing him is undeniable. And his long-awaited touch will weaken Easton’s resolve—and reveal what should stay hidden…

Yay another fantastic read by Penelope Douglas!  I just adore this woman and her books! After I binge read her Fall Away series, I just felt lost.  I needed to read another book written by her! Yes, she is that amazing! So when I received an ARC of Misconduct in the mail, it was like Christmas for me! 

Pretty sexy cover, right? Well, it shows Easton and Tyler perfectly with the story.  Let me start off by talking about the first time Easton and Tyler meet.  Ohhhh emmmmm geeee, talk about hot and steamy! But if you've read Penelope's Fall Away series, you know that how good she is at making you melt! LOL I knew right then that I was going to love Misconduct! I don't know what it is, but she has a way with words that gives me goosebumps.  I just love her!

I love the chemistry between Easton and Tyler.  From the moment they met, I knew they were going to be great together!  Their banter was perfect and just made the story that much better.  Easton is tough and I love that she stood up for herself regardless of what happened to her when she was a little girl.  Although she still suffering from her past, she still pushes forward and focuses on her career. But then Tyler came along and flipped her world.  She is stuck between following her hear and her career, which she has worked so hard on.  You see, Tyler is the father of one of her students. Exactly, totally unethical and against the rules!  He is off limits, but it's so hard to stay away from him.  Tyler is strong, sexy and rich!  They are both stubborn, but neither of them want their "relationship" to ruin their careers nor have Tyler's son hate him even more for dating his teacher. 

MISCONDUCT is fantastic and after reading it, I will pretty much read anything that Penelope puts out.  She is just amazing and has become one of my favorite romance authors.  I honestly just can't get enough of her.
