This was such an emotional and empowering story.
It was a story of healing and learning to overcome past traumas. It’s about finding your inner strength and living for yourself.
It was beautiful and hot, full of friendship, chemistry, math puns and falling in love.

This was an enjoyable read. I am reading this series out of order, but that’s okay with me. The story was interesting and had more depth than Voyeur. Also, this book had a story about redemption and strength as Hanna, our heroine has been through a traumatic experience. We see her reclaim who she is as a person as she tries to live her life as best as she can. I think that why I liked her so much. She is brave and smart. Daniel is our hero and he doesn’t do love because of his past. He helps Hanna through her situation. I thought he was sexy. This story is also an age gap romance. Also, I thought their chemistry was great, and I liked the progress of their relationship. Daniel really helped Hanna Become stronger and more independent. The ending was sweet. I can’t wait to read Saviour, which is Hanna’s brother Erik’s love story with Alex. Overall, a great read.

“You are all I see. Jesus, you’re all I’ve seen since we met. You steal my attention whenever you walk into a room.”
Ahhhh this was such a good end to the series! I love loved Daniel and Hannah! (and the CarinaIan crumbs too!)

Having this be the last book is a little bittersweet.
I have loved everything about this series and all of the characters. I have always had a soft spot for Hanna knowing that Haven was created because of her and Sophia and the reasons why. Hanna's backstory is heartbreaking. Up to this point, most of it was inferred but now details are coming out and to hear them, as well as to feel all the emotions that she feels from guilt to trying to live two lives just about made my heart break into pieces.
I liked that the author had taken the time to explain a little bit more of where Hanna's mindset was with the whole Ian and Carina debacle was and also how drastically that relationship has changed. However, the surprise of this story was Daniel. Good Lord. I loved him with Kent and their bromance but never, and I mean never, did I think he would have the ability to make me swoon as he did in this one. The way that he nurtures and dotes on Hanna is the reason why I read romance. The connection was beautiful and the steam was incredible. The way he gave her "firsts", yeah, trust me when I say this was mind-blowingly incredible. He almost topped Ian. Almost, and that is a major feat considering Ian is one of my all-time favorite boyfriends.
I am not sure where this author is going to take me next, but regardless, I will gladly follow her wherever her muse takes her.

I can’t tell you how much I love the Voyeur World series. I couldn’t wait to get my hands on Daniel and Hanna’s book, Teacher, after the few glimpses at them in the previous novels! Fiona Cole created another steamy, emotional, age gap romance with this utterly addictive read.
Hanna lived hell almost ten years ago when she was kidnapped and abused for months. She lost the better part of herself through this hell, but she’s slowly been building her confidence back. Intimacy is still a big problem for her, but when she meets Daniel, owner of Voyeur, she’s instantly attracted. He doesn’t make her body freeze like it usually does with men. That man sees Hanna’s beauty and fragility and wants to help her embrace her sexuality and not cower in fear. They starts a friendship where he guides her through her erotic quest.
I can’t express enough how much I loved them together. They’re just such interesting characters as individuals, and as a pair their magnetic pull and understanding is so beautiful. All read long, I savored every single moment they shared from truly emotional, to intensely combustible or even heartbreaking.
The fact all the characters from the earlier novels appeared during the story made this read even more engaging. Between support and teasing, these beloved heroes charmed me all over again.
Teacher is without a doubt one of my favorite novel in the Voyeur Series. Daniel and Hanna’s dynamic was everything I wanted and left me so content.

I really don't know where to start. This book was EVERYTHING . Let me start off by saying that this cover is ~gorgeous~. It's definitely my favorite cover out of the series. Ever since [b:Another|44326785|Another (Voyeur, #4)|Fiona Cole|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1567082042l/44326785._SY75_.jpg|68880986], I just knew that Hanna's story would consume me.
I loved Hanna. She was an incredibly strong and brave heroine. To experience what she's been through?? I couldn't even imagine. She's a character that will truly resonate with me forever. And Daniel???? *sigh* He was perfect for Hanna and I loved how much he cared for her. Daniel was respectful, patient, kind... the list goes on and on. He was the perfect hero.
Another has always been my favorite out of the Voyeur series, but I think this one definitely takes the cake. Hanna and Daniel's chemistry was hot

Teacher by Fiona Cole is a moving read in many ways, dealing with the difficult topic of recovering from past traumas that had left its weighty mark on both the hero and heroine. Book 6 in the Voyeur series, Teacher is a book that can be read as a standalone without feeling like you have missed out on something major from the previous books. I did not read the first five books for that matter and felt right at home with Teacher, from start to finish.
40 year old Daniel is the owner of Voyeur, a sex club where consenting adults indulge in their wildest fantasies. 26 year old Hanna is trying to live her life as she promised her twin sister Sofia and leave behind the major scars that had been the resultant effect of having being abducted at the age of seventeen and used pretty much in every way conceivable. Therapy had done its job for the most part, but Hanna still struggles with physical intimacy, and comes off as someone who is standoffish to most, when she is just unable to make herself enjoy being in the moment.
At the sex club, around Daniel, Hanna feels safe enough to let her fears go and perhaps think about physical intimacy as something she could enjoy. When the idea takes root, Hanna is determined that she would find her lost self with Daniel who is ready to help Hanna move past her fears and embrace her sexuality as it should be. Daniel tells himself that by helping Hanna, he is paying penance for the biggest failure of his life which had ended in tragedy, and that it would help assuage his guilt.
Daniel and Hanna’s non-relationship is perfectly suited for their needs; Daniel does not want romantic entanglements, the scars from his past having worked him over pretty good and Hanna, who does not like putting herself into situations she has no control over. The sex scenes are hot and steamy, with Daniel and Hanna losing themselves in each other and eventually their hearts to one another.
In the end, I was left with just one single sentiment – every woman should have a man like Daniel to initiate them into the wonderful world of physical intimacy. Reminds me of what Daphne says to Simon in an episode of Bridgerton that is all the rave on Netflix – that it was no wonder their mamas kept everything to do in the bedroom a secret, for if otherwise they [the women] would get nothing done. When it is right between two people, there is nothing like it, nor would there ever be, and that is ultimately what Daniel teaches us readers before the book is through.
Recommended for fans of romances that deal with recovering from tragic pasts and healing in the arms of that right someone. This book delivers in spades!
Final Verdict: In Teacher, Ms. Cole delivers beautifully on how the very concept of healing could be beautiful and utterly sexy both at the same time. Recommended!
Rating = 4/5
