Absolutely a must read! The planned out "lessons" Stella Lane had paid for from this dreamy Michael Larsen turned out much better than meticulous Stella planned! I envy Stella' s abilities for structure, she's so well organized and planned! Michael, poor Michael, his emotions are a complete puzzle, from who he truly is as a person to where he belongs in this world. Despite their differences, backgrounds, strengths and faults, they fit well together. The story held strong to the characters, the author added in multiple real life crisis situations and difficulties throughout the journeys the characters embarked on. It was a truly self awakening novel that even if you're not one for that extra erotica/romance, it's a novel worth reading for the real life circumstances within.
