Publisher’s Description:
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, ego-maniacal 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…

My Review:
Beautiful Mistake by Vi Keeland
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Another awesome read by Vi Keeland. There’s no wonder this book has topped the charts. It was well written and classic Vi Keeland quality. The story had a depth to it with characters Rachel Martin and Professor Caine West, as well as the minor characters. Another TA/Professor romance to satisfy the sweet tooth, and it’s done masterfully.
It starts out with a hilarious scene at a bar where Rachel mistakes her (unknowingly) soon-to-be boss with a guy her friend dated who they found out was married. She calls him a jerk and puts “Owen” in his place, only to find out he’s not Owen, and of course, the craziness ensues.
I loved the twists in this book that I didn’t see coming until the moment they hit me in the face. There were also parts of this book that had me literally in tears, especially mom’s advice from beyond the grave. I bawled like a baby.
I also love how music was a prominent theme throughout, and especially loved the nursing home situation that brought humor and unfathomable selflessness.
I was also amazed at how the characters’ faith played a role, yet not in a way that made you feel like you were being preached to. It was just a part of who they were, a part of their history, and how it played a role in them coming together was ingenious. Loved it!
This book is chock full of chemistry. Rachel and Caine were so much fun to read, and I loved how their relationship slowly unfolded. I read the entire story eagerly, and found that it kept my attention really well throughout. A very satisfying read.
