Beautiful Mistake by Vi Keeland
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Light and sweet
Ok, granted that the backstories of a couple of the characters aren’t particularly light and sweet (at all), but their love story is comparatively light and sweet. At least in comparison to the dark romances I usually find in my kindle.
So, that said, I really enjoyed this book. I loved the story development between Caine and Rachel. Embarrassing first encounter where they don’t know who the other is going to turn out to be? Check! Forbidden relationship setup (professor/TA)? Check! One step forward, two steps back relationship development with angst and lack of communication? Check! Hot hero in a position of authority with those damn hip V’s? CHECK!
Oh, why can’t Caine be a real person? I would take an immediate (and totally unrelated) interest in undergraduate music classes.
I love books by this author. Sexy heroes, strong heroines, realistic (but still fantasy-level) stories.
I love me some dark romance, but Vi Keeland has become my go-to when I need some warm sunshine to break up the dark.
Recommended!!

The first time I met Caine West was in a bar.
He noticed me looking his way and mistakenly read my scowling as checking him out.
When he attempted to talk to me, I set him straight―telling him what I thought of his lying, cheating, egomaniacal ass.
You see, the gorgeous jerk had wined and dined my best friend-smooth talking her into his bed, all along failing to mention that he was married.
He deserved every bit of my tongue-lashing and more for what he’d done.
Especially when that lazy smile graced his perfect face in response to my rant.
Only it turned out, the man I’d just told off wasn’t the right guy.
Oops. My mistake.
Embarrassed, I slunk out without an apology.
I was never going to see the handsome stranger again anyway, right?
That’s what I thought…until I walked into class the next morning.
Well, hello Professor West, I’m your new teaching assistant.
I’ll be working under you…figuratively speaking.
Although the literal interpretation might not be such a bad thing―working under Professor West.
This was going to be interesting…
