Blurb
Layla Robinson is not crazy. She is suffering from
unrequited love. But it’s time to move on. No more stalking, no more obsessive
calling.
What she needs is a distraction. The blue-eyed guy she keeps
seeing around campus could be a great one—only he is the new poetry
professor—the married poetry professor.
Thomas Abrams is a stereotypical artist—rude, arrogant, and
broody—but his glares and taunts don’t scare Layla. She might be bad at poetry,
but she is good at reading between the lines. Beneath his prickly façade,
Thomas is lonely, and Layla wants to know why. Obsessively.
Sometimes you do get what you want. Sometimes you end up in
the storage room of a bar with your professor and you kiss him. Sometimes he
kisses you back like the world is ending and he will never get to kiss you
again. He kisses you until you forget the years of unrequited love; you forget
all the rules, and you dare to reach for something that is not yours.
NOTE: Please be aware that this book deals with sensitive
topics like cheating and death. 18+ Only.
Home run!
That's one way to put it.
Saffron A. Kent has created a book that was unputdownable!
That's right.
The Unrequited was spectacular.
Completely mesmerizing. First and foremost I'm head over heels in love with Kent's prose and storytelling.
It's raw, honest and seductive.
I felt like I was in a trance. Hypnotized by her intoxicating prose that instantly connected me with Layla and Thomas.
Layla and Thomas were two
phenomenal characters.
Equally flawed and battling
with the same issue.
Their love was unrequited and how they found solace and comfort in one another was truly an epic ride of proportions.
Layla is a beautiful girl who'd made a mistake once and was now paying for it by being alone without friends and family.
I loved how she tried to help whenever she saw a chance to make a difference.
In this case her new friend Emma and most importantly Thomas.
Thomas!!
What to say about this incredible man.
He has so many different sides to his personality. I loved his sarcasm, his arrogance, his filthy mouth but most of all his kind heart and his need
to do the right thing.
When Layla and Thomas crashed together I felt like I combusted.
Their chemistry was insane.
So sensual and erotic.
They definitely used each other to feel better and to forget the pain of their unrequited love.
At times it wasn't pretty and it wasn't supposed to be.
I loved the urgency of their need
and lust for one another.
It was delicious, hot and dirty.
Their relationship had consequences and I had no idea which direction the story went and that gave it that awesome angsty feeling that I love in a story.
How Kent tied it all together in the end was effortlessly done.
All I can say to conclude this review is that Saffron A. Kent blew me away with this captivating story.
Everything clicked and worked
perfectly and flawlessly.
Especially Layla and Thomas
who are two characters
I won't forget soon.
Thank you for one hell of a ride.

Excerpt
I’m hit by
a storm of desire to kiss him better. It’s a tornado, an avalanche in my body,
and in one breathless moment, I decide to go for it. It’s okay. I can take the
blame for it later.
I break the
rules and reach up and kiss him. A feathery peck on his plump lips, it’s a kiss
of solidarity, a kiss that intends to tell him I understand—but one isn’t
enough. It only manages to ratchet up my lust. So I give him another, this time
on the corner of his mouth, and then another one on his jaw.
It’s not enough, these small, barely-there
touches. I want more, but I won’t take it. I’ll be good; I’ll only give.
Abruptly,
he fists my curls and stops me. I look at him fearfully, ready to apologize—not
for the kiss, but for being the kisser. His gaze reflects passion, stark,
raving need, and I shiver, despite wearing layers and sweating with his heat.
“Are you
trying to kiss me, Layla?” he rasps, flexing his fingers on my makeshift
ponytail.
He couldn’t
tell? Blush rises to the surface and I know I’m glowing like a neon sign.
Swallowing, I nod. “Yes.”
He inches
closer to me, still not touching—as impossible as that is—but infinitely
closer. “You want to kiss me, Miss Robinson, you do it right.”
Oh God,
does he have to call me that? Now, here? My spine arches on its own and my
heavy tits graze the contours of his shuddering chest.
“H-How?” I
ask innocently, belying the daring action of my body. His stern, professor-y
voice is doing things to me, making me wild, uncontrolled.
For a
second, he’s silent, just watching. I’m afraid he’ll back out from whatever
this is, whatever insanity we’re about to commit—but then I sense the shift in
the liquor-laced air as he opens his mouth and growls, “Like this.”
Author Bio
Writer of bad romances. Coffee Addict. White Russian
Drinker. Imaginary Ballet Dancer and poetess. Aspiring Lana Del Ray of the book
world.
I'm a big believer in love (obviously). I believe in happily ever after, the butterflies and the tingling. But I also believe in edgy, rough and gutsy kind of love. I believe in pushing the boundaries, darker (sometimes morally ambiguous) emotions and imperfections.
The kind of love I write about is flawed just like my characters. And I hope by the end of it, you'll come to root for them just as much as me. Because love, no matter where it comes from, is always pure and beautiful.
