“Sometimes the most forbidden fruit is the sweetest.”Kieran Ten years ago, my world crumbled around me. Losing my wife turned me into a shell of a man, stuck teaching entitled Ivy League brats by day and drowning my pain in meaningless sex by night. The club has saved me countless times, until she walks into my classroom. There’s something behind the pain in her eyes that pulls me in, and even though I know she’s forbidden, I can’t stay away, no matter how hard I try.Deirdre For the last year, I’ve been running from my tortured past, hiding amongst the shadows in hopes that he won’t find me. When I end up in a small town in Connecticut, I’m determined to take control of my life—so I fill my time as a cocktail waitress by night, and a student by day. I stick out like a sore thumb among these snooty frat boys and sorority girls, but one thing draws me the broody professor teaching my world literature class.I know I shouldn’t cross the lines of temptation. But when an embarrassing incident forces us together, we find ourselves caught in a whirlwind of heated moments, and I start to wonder if I can really stay away… or if I even want to.
I don't want to give spoilers, but that cliffhanger gutted me and I can't wait for Never Mine (book 2) to be released

Um… MONIQUE SHEPHERD HOW DARE YOU?! 😳😩😒😭😍 I am so glad I got to ARC read this, and I hope anyone reading is ready for a filter free review of this masterpiece. Most importantly if you are considering reading Nevermore or the Never Never Duet, please check the CW/TW to make sure it is a safe read for you. I inhaled this ARC in one sitting, and I was NOT ready for that cliffhanger. Monique has a certain way of writing raw, gutting, and authentic scenes that you can’t help but feel as if you’re there in real life. Throughout this read I told my Dominant to go have a nap so I could finish reading, and I don’t regret it. As far as the plot goes it is there, and again ends on a cliffy. But there is also a great balance of backstory & personal growth/events for the characters. Deirdre has two good friends, Gabe, and Claire, both strong personalities that you can’t help but love. Deirdre is broken but strong, witty, bratty, and quite relatable. Professor McKnight is strong but broken, confident, and protective. Plus, he knows EXACTLY what to say… IYKYK! Loved this read, can't wait for book 2, and I desperately need more of the Professor & Deirdre’s journey. El’s Ratings Characters: 5/5 Spice: 4/5 (Spicy in all of the best ways!!!) Overall: 5/5
