Best Sweet Valley University romance novel!

I absolutely loved BEHIND CLOSED DOORS...it was such a romantic book! In this one, Jessica is mistakenly signed up to take a course in Medevil History when she asked for Film History. But then she learns that her Medevil History professor, the new, young, hot, sexy, mysterious, and popular, Louis Miles, feels attraction toward her...and she begins to feel attraction AND confusion when she knows he likes her but keeps trying to push her away because of some dark secret from his past.And all this while, Elizabeth and Todd are trying to track down who attacked Todd. And Winston cheats on his pyhsics exam because he is failing pyhsics and if he does not pass, then his parents will send him to a different school and he won't be able to see Denise, his girlfriend, anymore. Tom goes off to Las Vages for a reporting job.Great, well-written novel! I congradaulate Laurie John for an excellent novel and a terrific addition to the SWEET VALLEY UNIVERSITY series. If you're an SVU fan, this is definitely for you! The romance and affection between Jessica and Professor Louis Miles will have you engrossed 'til the end and be begging for more! I totally recommend this book.

Kept Me Interested

I wasn't picking out the book because it seemed interesting. I picked it out thinking oh something to do. It ended up that I couldn't put it down once I started Reading it. It kept me very well interested and wanting more after i was finished reading. So if you like the romance mystery novels this is the one.

I thought this book was written exceptionaly well.

As well as all the other books in the SVU series, I thought this book was FANTASTIC. As I read, I realized Winstons experiences were simalar to other College, or even High School or Middle School, students inwhich they are tempted to cheat on exams or even a simple thing like Homework. The Way Lourie John expresses the Character's Feelings throughout the book made me feel like it was a true story.Students and other young girls that have followed the Sweet Valley Characters through all the Sweet Valley series will defintely enjoy the SVU adventures of Elizabeth, Jessica, Winston and all the others while they come across new characters throughout the years. Many people should enjoy this book as well as the rest of the SVU books. Thank you and Happy Reading, Michelle Sinopol
