Damaged people were survivors, and they survived because they always put themselves first. Self-preservation demanded it. Easton and Tyler meet at a party and have a major connection. easton leaves the party with her brother and nothing ever comes of it… until they meet again. At Easton’s workplace. Easton is a new teacher (it’s her first year teaching) and she just happens to be teaching Tyler’s son. Yep! You read that right!

Tyler was an asshole at first. He was a man of his word, he wanted to conquer the world, to make a change and me remembered. He didn't want a permanent relationship with anyone because he simply didn't have time but when he met the misterious Easton he was instantly drowned. He was older than her but the age did not have anything between them. They both were strong and independed, their chemistry was unmistakble. He had his own issues in his life, his relationship with his son was on the edge most of the time and his relationship with his teacher doesn't help on that point either. Tyler, oh how I fell. He was a commanding man in and out of the bedroom and he will give you butterflies and make you worship his dirty mouth in one foul swoop. I loved how he worked hard to fix his relationship with his son without being overbearing and the way he was able to read Easton was swoon worthy. You know what I love about Penelope Douglas's writing? Well, aside from the obvious everything. It's her consistency. She never fails to deliver an absolutely enrapturing read with a strong heroine and an absolutely to die for hero. Her writing is magnetic, her romances are scorching, and her characters unforgettable. Misconduct is proof that not only can she write amazing New Adult Like Bully, or scorching hot dark erotica like Corrupt, but she'll bring her A game to contemporary romance. And bring her a game she did, because I loved absolutely everything about this book. If you like a sexy romance, with a taste of forbidden and a powerful hero, this is definitely a good book to try. Misconduct incorporated a few plot devices I tend to gravity towards. One, that forbidden romance theme. Easton (female MC) is a new graduate student in teaching when she gets a job at a private upscale school. She knows the parents will be a challenge with their power and prestige but is confident in her ability to teach young teens. Until she sets eyes on a student's father- Tyler Marek- a man she has a one-night history with 6 months ago. She disappeared into the night and never thought she would see him again.Misconduct has the perfect blend of plot, character development, intrigue, taboo and scorching sex. It ends on a high with an epilogue months into the future. This particular krewe was exclusive, almost aristocratic with its money and political connections. Lawyers, CEOs, judges, you name it… Anyone who was anyone in this city was here tonight. Hence why my brother accepted an invitation. With Rival, Madoc was so much fun, and I probably had the most fun writing him more than anyone. He is a fantastic character, and I loved his humor. But I also constantly wondered whether I should take this chance or that, knowing how people were going to critique it. With BULLY, I was ignorant, and with RIVAL, I was aware, so I was nervous. It was a different experience. It doesn’t happen too often that an author blows me away with two new books in such a short span of time, but Penelope Douglas is that kind of author, and her voice is always so fresh and unexpected, that I never know what kind of trill-ride she will take me on next. And while this book is so very different from any of her previous works, with somewhat older characters and new thought-provoking themes, her powerful writing style is ever-present, this time offering a forbidden love story that is so much more than it appears. I loved this book madly, finding myself addicted to its every mouth-watering scene, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking not just a great book, but an unforgettable one too. There is quite an age-gap between them (Easton is 23 and Tyler is 35) but let me tell you, it was not an issue for me! haha Because I loved them together. They have very emotional moments and the sex is just.. SO FREAKING HOT, they cannot stop touching each other!

Easton and Tyler’s romance is forbidden from the start, but that only makes them want each other more. No matter how hard they try, that can’t fight that pull that brings them together. Easton doesn’t do relationships do to her past, and Tyler is a single dad trying to make his relationship with his son right. It’s doomed from the start, the two of them, but they can’t stay away. This turns out to be a love/hate relationship that will keep you on your toes, and a well developed storyline that will make you fall in love with the main characters.Tyler is planning to be the next senator and with that comes responsibilities and campaigns, parties, meetings, businessmen, women that have a particular look of sophistication. You get the drill, they think that's what Tyler wants yet is it. Then there's his son who he hasn't spent quality time with, he's missed him growing up so now he has the opportunity to get to know him plus maybe but maybe a little respect because their relationship is somewhat strained. So this time is to to bond with his son and therefore Tyler is involved in his education and his that's where Easton comes in. I'm looking forward to future works from Penelope Douglas. I was hoping for a secondary character spin-off but after that twist, I don't think that'll be in the cards. But I can still hope... Life moves pretty fast,” she stated. “If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” Easton Bradbury is an ex-Tennis star, who rose to fame winning accolades right through her teens. Now a twenty three year old college graduate, she is about to start her teaching career at a highly prestigious school in New Orleans.

Wait till you read it and see how amazing it is! I enjoyed it a lot and read it so fast because I couldn't put it down! It's captivating, sexy, funny and hot! It is different from what we used from Penelope Douglas, here the characters are more mature since they are older! Misconduct (stand-alone). With careers & reputations at stake their clandestine affair is taboo, a transgression neither one can afford! Throughout the book we see Tyler trying to succeed at running for Senate, running his company, building a relationship with his son and a love relationship with Easton. Tyler wants it all but there aren't enough hours in the day to achieve that. Can he have it all?

Success!

Tyler was older than Easton, although not old by any stretch, and a clear contender for a Senate seat. When not busy working on his campaign, or running his media conglomerate, he was trying to develop a relationship with his teenage son. After being an absentee father for many years, his son, Christian, wasn't making it easy for him either. Characters Development: Easton was a nice girl, and despite her insecurities and odd quirks she was easy to like, especially because she was fierce, sassy and had a attitude that made her relatable. Tyler was the sweet asshole that we all love, despite wanting to beat him from time to time. And he definitely he redeemed some of his attitudes towards the end, so he’s good on my eyes. Some nice supportive characters and Christian was a really nice kid. Wanting him is taboo. Needing him is undeniable. And his long-awaited touch will weaken Easton's resolve - and reveal what should stay hidden . . . Tyler and Easton want each other, but it’s difficult to say no when they are always running into each other.

Misconduct is a stand-alone novel and it tells the story of Easton Bradbury (an ex tennis player who decides to start a new life as a history teacher in New Orleans with her brother after a tragic situation) and Tyler Marek (the CEO of one of the biggest industries in the world, the stranger that Easton meets during Mardi Gras and now also the parent of one of the protagonist's students). When I heard that Penelope Douglas has a new book, I was excited and happy. I loved her writing from the previous books and I was looking forward to her next book! And I'm so glad that I had the opportunity to read it sooner! I loved it so much because it was so refreshing! I haven't read a story like this before.The romance is between a teacher and a parent! Yes, yes amazing right? I shot my head up, a smile spreading across my face as I scanned the ballroom. I spotted my brother standing in a circle of people but facing me with a warning eyebrow raised and a smirk on his face.

So why did I deduct a half star? The book was seriously perfect for me until the last five or so percent. There's a plot twist I didn't see coming and it just didn't sit right with me. It just didn't fit. That's just my opinion and it probably won't even bother other readers. It just put a bad taste in my mouth to an otherwise perfectly written love story. Tyler!” she cried out, and I took a fistful of her hair, tugging slightly. “You didn’t want it slow, did you?” All in all this is another winner and I'd highly recommend it to lovers who love forbidden romance. Who love millionaire stories, love the added tension that comes with not being able to be together then this is certainly your next read.
