Beautiful Mistake Kindle Edition

A new sexy standalone novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author, Vi Keeland.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...

"I always enjoy reading Vi Keeland's writing, but I'm just going to come out and say it:
Beautiful Mistake is my favorite book from her yet. I adore workplace romances, and Keeland's take on it here was unique and interesting.

If I just said read the book and find out for yourselves or...psst, steaminess abounds!" - Kindle Friends Forever

Beautiful MistakesReread- YESChemistry- A-HEA-yesGirl meets boy in a bar, the girl tells off the boy in a bar, the boy is her boss, and they fall in love. Well okay, there's some a lot more that happens in between that, but don't worry we'll get to that. While the main characters are already "starcrossed" lovers or as I see it lovers with some obstacles we as readers already know this type of juicy read is what we live for. I mean what's not to love about a story revolving around a conflict from the very first chapter. Of course, this is not the central conflict in the story, and the author takes the reader on a journey of love, guilt, and redemption all while having a playful atmosphere with laugh out loud moments.The NegativeSo now to the SPOILERS! The main character was whiny at times and don't get me wrong I'm all about the girls rule movement we're finding more and more in books, but sometimes it's a little too much, you feel me. For instance when the best friend and main character jump to a conclusion about specific situations and just downgrade Caine, then it's just random and thrown in there. Also, I HATE love triangles, and I'm not saying there's a love triangle in this book BUT, Rachel does consider going back with her ex, multiple times and she does use him to get Caine jealous. And yes it does work well with the storyline, and it's not done in a crass way, she doesn't sleep or kiss him, but it confused me on how she wanted to act like an adult and then she starts playing games. The going back and forth if I don't need him, but I can't control my body, I mean close your legs and get a vibrator girl, you can manage your body.The PositiveSo for all the good, because let's be honest there would be no way I would give this book so many positive stars if I wouldn't 1,) reread it and 2,) actually enjoy reading it the first time and not skip through some of the pages. The chemistry and dialogue between Rachel and Caine was hot, I mean it was great and funny, and yes I wanted to throat punch both of them multiple times, but none the less it was great. The supporting characters were hilarious, especially Charlie A+ for him, I wish I had a boss like him. Her thesis was very sweet and how it tied into the whole book was very cute, and once you find out the origins behind it, you can't help but think "oh how perfect." Of course, this an HEA ending with them getting married were they initially met all those years ago.

Well let me start by saying this book was AMAZING!!! Vi Keeland knows how to give her a readers a fabulous 5 star read.

It was so not what I was expecting to be. After reading the blurb I thought this book was going to be a fun and entertaining student/teacher romance story. And it was all that, but it was so much more!!! This story was so much deeper and more emotional than I thought it would be going in.

I should know by now not to underestimate a Vi Keeland book. This woman definitely knows how to put my emotions and heart through the wringer. This has to be one of my favorite books of hers so far, and I have loved every book of hers that I have read.

Her stories are fun, sexy, entertaining but also heartfelt and emotionally charged. You can’t help but fall in love with all the characters she gives us. I think this is one of the only books where I haven’t hated someone the author introduced us to. All of the secondary characters were great and added to the story in some way. Her stories always suck me in and I devour them in less than a day and this book was no different. The flow and pace of the story was spot on. I loved that this story was filled with a lot of outside drama….the focus was primarily on Caine and Rachel. Their love story was intriguing enough that it kept me enthralled and turning the pages (quickly)

Beautiful Mistake is a standalone novel told from primarily Rachel’s POV but we do get some chapters from Caine’s. The way this story was told and unfolded I thought was perfect. It held a little bit of suspense, but was also kind of predictable, but it was never boring!! This story followed the journey of Rachel and Caine. I don’t want to say to much about their story because this is a book that each reader needs to unfold themselves. I loved the banter between Caine and Rachel and the sexual tension was kindle melting, but when they got together…holy explosion!!! HOT!!!!

So if you are a fan of the forbidden student/teacher romance but also want a story with heart and emotion, then give this book a try. This was a more than a love story, it was a story about forgiveness and moving on. If you are a fan of Vi Keeland’s you don’t want to miss this newest addition to her fantastic collection. If she is a new author to you….pick up this gem, you won’t be sorry!!!!

Another well written story by Vi Keeland. As per usual, the plot is thought provoking, heartwarming and also heartbreaking. This story deals with sexual abuse of a minor, overcoming adversity, and the unconventional way a teenage boy steps up to report this atrocity but grows up carrying unwarranted guilty feeling that he didn’t do enough. Readers become privy to the backstory of Rachel and her sister with snippets throughout the book. The adult relationship between doctoral student Rachel and Professor Caine is well executed with good character development and believable sexual chemistry.

I particularly enjoyed the secondary characters, Charlie, Rachel’s protective boss, and Lydia and Umberto, Rachel’s thesis subject. There was a truly eye opening storyline involving Lydia and Umberto’s 50 year marriage and the course of events that make one question, “What would you do when the love of your life develops Alzheimer’s. I don’t want to divulge too much.

The conclusion was predictable and satisfying in its own right. If there is one criticism I have to make it’s that I would have wanted to know more about Rachel’s sister and her child. I question in my mind who the father is. We, as readers, did not get much info and I’m leaving this book with unresolved questions. Otherwise, it was as enjoyable read from cover to cover. I recommend this book.

This was a good read. It was about two young people who met years ago. He was a budding Rockstar at 15 and she was a child whose mother had died and their step father wasn't a very good person. He was abusive to her, she was 10 years old and her older sister. Her sister was sexually and physically abused by Benny their stepfather. The young sister Rachel would go to their church and go in the confessional and tell who she thought was the priest what was going on at their house but it was really Caine West who she was talking to. He ended up being her professor in a music program she was a graduate program in. She was his Tab and he became her advisor for her thesis. Her former professor died of a heart attack. This story contains scenes about childhood abuse and then it also contains scenes about addiction to both alcohol and drugs. It's a dramatic and romantic story with a twist of course, because that is what Vi Keeland does. I like her books 📚📖 because I know that there will be an interesting plot. I would recommend this book 📖📚.

This was a fantastic read!

"I told you I didn't bite students...I don't. But I make no promises about not biting feisty TAs."

When Rachel Martin first meets Caine West, she thinks he's someone else and completely blasts him. She's pretty mortified when she realises her error and, worse, when he turns out to be her professor and she's his new TA. From the first moment they meet, there's no denying there's a connection between them, and the more time they spend together, the chemistry between them is impossible to ignore. However, both carry a lot of baggage from the past.

"Ever hear a song for the first time and you don't know the words, but the music is really familiar?...You're that song. I don't know any of the words, but the tune is so [...] familiar."

Gosh, I need to make a plan to get through more of this author's backlist as her writing is just wonderful. Each time I read one of her books, I find them funny, hot AF, and pretty emotional, and this story was no different. Rachel was sassy, capable and just totally herself. There was nothing about her I didn't like. She was adorable when she was nervous and I liked that she tackled difficult situations head on. Caine was an enigma to Rachel and the flashbacks to his past intrigued me. I realised pretty soon where the plot was taking us and I was really looking forward to the conclusion. I thought he was pretty thrilling with his dirty mouth and his blatant attraction to Rachel but, at the same time, my goodness, his protective heart and the fact he was in touch with his emotions? Yep! I was a goner for him. Although Caine and Rachel were professor and TA, this story wasn't really about forbidden love. To me, it was more about connection, destiny, and life coming back round full circle. Fab read!

Once you start reading the story gets to you in a very good way and makes you want to finish it so you know if there will be a happy end. You get suched in with the love story between Cain and Rachel. I couldn't put it aside and finished it in one go.

5.0 out of 5 stars Vi Keeland's Best Book!

⭐️ 5+ STARS! ⭐️
Wow! I’m in awe of this remarkable story! In my opinion, Vi Keeland delivers her best work to date with Beautiful Mistake. This book is utter perfection on all levels. There’s the usual amusing banters, the burning hot chemistry, the anticipation, the sexy hero with a dirty mouth, the feisty heroine and an unique twist. The tone of the book is more serious than her previous novels, but it makes it the whole package with an emotional level that touched me profoundly.

Beautiful Mistake starts out strong with Rachel yelling at Caine in a bar about his manwhore actions, only to find out there’s error on the person. Her mortification only raises the next day when she discovers he’s Professor Caine West and she’s his new TA for the semester. From that moment, we have all the elements in place for a passionate read with some dose of humour.

I loved everything about these two. When they’re together, you can’t help but feel the lust, desire, chemistry they deny themselves. I must admit that this kind of anticipation to finally see them succumb to the temptation was perfectly written. Together they just match and make a highly combustible duo. Caine likes to use his mouth to make Rachel blush with his suggestive comments and the heat level only increases with each interactions.

I like them as a couple, but also as individuals. I fangirled over Rachel’s authentic personality. She shows her strength with her feisty attitude, but she also has a heart of gold with her need to help others. She’s an heroine that is also hiding behind the hurt of her past and keeps guarded, making her vulnerable by moments. I love this multi-faceted aspect of her persona. In Professor Caine West we have an arrogant and somewhat cold man in the classroom, but when he’s outside he’s an attentive guy that’s undeniably attracted by Rachel. He’s denying this magnetism they have, but his jealous and possessive actions don’t lie.

The way the book is written in dual point of view from Rachel in the present and Caine mostly in the past is interesting. Every single time the story switched back to the past and little new details was added I found myself invested in their life even more. These elements from the past forged the people they are and it helped understanding their behavior in the present.

Beautiful Mistake enters incontestably in my favorite reads of the year. I felt so much reading this memorable story. I found myself with palpitations from the overload of feels and smiles from the sweetness of some moments, but also tears of heartache from the poignant and difficult events. Vi Keeland captured my attention wholly with this explosively beautiful couple. Do you a favor and grab this beauty, you won't regret it.
