Just a Bit Twisted by Alessandra Hazard

Enjoyed this but so much was missing for me!
I did like how they couldn't seem to keep away from each other and how Derek was making sure they could be together, and I liked how he was making sure the kids were safe and taken care of (car seats, being concerned about the babysitter's beliefs etc.).
What I didn't like was how unrealistic it was. There were absolutely zero consequences for the professor / student relationship, which I actually would have liked to see, especially once they became an established couple. Also, Shawn is just openly talking about things with Christian in classes and on campus, yet no one ever overhears or brings it to anyone's attention? Also found the childcare situation a bit unbelievable, but I did like how they all seem to become a family unit at the end.
It would definitely have been improved with Derek's POV because when he disappeared, we don't see what happens, we're just told - which I'm never a fan of!
I think if there was more realism and dual POV I could easily have rated this higher.
