The Wallflower by Jan Freed is a truly delightful read. As skeptical as I was about the adult goes back to high school bit (yes it has been done) I was truly impressed at how Freed handles the situation and story line. Freed's heroine Sarah is spunky and courageous, her hero Jack brooding and mysterious. Truth be told Sarah doesn't need anyone to rescue her, and perhaps that is what makes her character so delightful. In the end it is Sarah who in the long run comes to Jack's rescue.....and the rescue of many others, showing them the true meaning of love. The Wallflower has it all, suspence, intrigue, passion and humor, this is one book to add to your collection.
One of my favorite books of the year!

I loved this book. I think Jan Freed is as good as it gets, and I eagerly await her future books.I was a little doubtful that I'd buy the "grown woman goes back to high school" plot, but I did, hook, line and sinker. What a joy this was to read!
A Feel-Good Romance

This book has a great heroine. I loved watching her help the "misfit" students make a better life for themselves. There was also great conflict between the hero and the heroine because he thought she was a student at first. This conflict was realistically portrayed. Great secondary characters, too. The suspense element wasn't as strong as I had expected, though, and that part of the plot was resolved too quickly.
Exciting and Romantic!

Jan Freed is one of my favorite writers, and she just keeps getting better and better. Jack is such a hunk!

Sarah Davidson is on the run from a hit man hired to prevent her from testifying in a murder case. When her bodyguards are killed, she takes matters into her own hands and goes undercover (or over the top)and hides in a high school. As a flamboyantly dressed senior from California, she becomes Serena Davis. She becomes an irritation to her straightlaced English teacher, Jack Morgan, in more ways than one. Sparks fly. This book was so much fun to read.
