FORBIDDEN LOVE ALERT!!! Older married woman meets a younger man… or should I say teen? Seventeen, to be exact (hence multiple forbiddeny aspects in this one). In fact, it keeps making our lists! Like our Highly Recommended Risqué, Taboo and Forbidden Love Stories and our Younger Man, Older Woman Romance Book List AND… on so many of our reader favorites lists!
This one has turned so many inside-out and they just LOVE IT!!!
Donna: I also would like to recommend Education of Sebastian and the Education of Caroline. Taboo alert – she’s 30 and he’s 17… :-0
Aimee: My poor family were abandoned on the day I read ‘The Sweet Gum Tree’ by Katherine Allred and also ‘The Education of Caroline’ and ‘The Education of Sebastian’ by Jane Harvey Berrick. Absolutely fab reads! … — Absolutely fell in love with these characters. Even if the age difference was taboo was I definitely rooting for this couple.
Andrea: This is a forbidden love series. I loved it because the writing is simply so beautiful. The love story was angsty but really really moving and wonderful.
Athena: The Education of Sebastian and the Education of Caroline by Jane Harvey-Berrick….loved, loved, loved it!!
Maryjo: The Education Series by Jane Harvey-Berrick is fantastic!
Julie O: I just finished “the education of sebastion, and the education of caroline” this weekend. I really enjoyed the caroline sequel.
Siana: If you haven’t yet, you should definitely add The Education of Sebastian and it’s sequel to your tbr list.
About book #1:
A friendship between the lost and lonely Caroline, and the unhappy Sebastian, leads to an illicit love that threatens them both.
Caroline Wilson is trapped in a cold and loveless marriage with an older man. When her husband finally wins a long sought-after promotion, Caroline feels she has little choice but to follow him to a new home in San Diego. There she meets Sebastian, a young man of 17.
For an all too brief summer, their happiness blooms.
But external pressures begin to bear down, not least from the overbearing David, and Sebastian’s parents begin to suspect that their son has a secret. Even Caroline’s new friend, Donna, realises that dark passions exist below the serene surface.
I loved this series even with that age matter! Also because THERE’S CHEATING!!!!!!!!!!
