Class Trip
This is a story about love and forgiving, mostly, it is about understanding. About the ability to look behind what is plain to see, and gazing into someone's true soul.
Daniel has been working for the family business since the day he was born. His father hadn't been kind to him; he raised him to do as he was told, or else. Since his father's death Daniel has been running the family business just like his father taught him, but he longs for something different, something sweet and innocent, the opposite of what he sees every day.
Sandra is an American foreign exchange student in Switzerland in her last year of school. A month before graduation a new teacher arrives, shaking up the school with his strict punishments. She doesn't understand why the new teacher seems to be singling her out, which he does often. He is different with her, gentler. When he accompanies the class on their Senior trip instead of their normal teachers everyone groans. When they find out that they have all been kidnapped Sandra is separated from the other girls. She doesn't understand why she has to share a room, and a bed, with the teacher.
Can she learn to love him despite all of his faults? Can she see the man who needs her behind the facade?

This is one sick book. Seriously. I don't think the writer is aware of the gigantic responsibility that rests upon the shoulders of a writer when they write ANYthing at all. First, this book gives the reader a very bad impression of Switzerland, regardless of it being true or not. Second, passing off this kiddie porn as a romance novel looks really bad for writers these days. Its very very disturbing to see grave topics like Stockholm syndrome and daddy issues being accepted and taken and played with so lightly in this book. I know that every reader wants a HEA in the end of every book but does the author even realize what effect this book might have upon its target audience(who are clearly the little high school girls who steal steamy bodice rippers from their mothers' book racks or who huddle up in the corner table in the libraries and giggle behind their palms over the naughty parts)???!! This story clearly feels like a high school girl's naughty fantasy/wishful thinking,however twisted it is. And such books are so disgusting since its books like these that are highly responsible for girls and women still sticking to abusive relationships because they somehow convince themselves they "deserve" being treated that way and that they can ultimately "change" their man and "mend their broken souls".if they just stay with them and keep loving them. It's really dangerous that such a disturbing theme is being used to sell in the form of books where anybody can access them and can be mis-led.
And coming to the book itself, it's poorly written and none of it feels relatable or believable in any way. I''ll only mention a few stuffs of the many that bothered me about it. If Sandra's mom knew she lost one f her daughter to somewhere in Europe, how can she EVER even willingly APPROVE of her second daughter going ANYWHERE near Europe at all. If you are so fucking careless of ur kid's safety, bad things WILL happen to u and them.
Also,although I haven't gone through a pregnancy myself, I found it really weird that they had sex in her condition when she's only 2 weeks due. I've read it somewhere that it can dangerous to have an intercourse in such a later stage of her last trimester. The writer needs to do more research before she pens something.
And am not even going to start w/ how this character makes Knight from Kristen Ashley's book look like a freaking saint. Equally disgusting(if not more) as Anthony Rawlings from Aleatha Rowig's Consequence series.
I'll stop now, since speaking about it is making me crabby. Save your time and money and invest it elsewhere. Life's too short.
And Oh yeah, everytime I heard her call him "Tata" or him speaking of himself in third person, I kept bursting out in ugly barks of laughter earning me weird looks from people around me.
OK so now I'll go. Thanks to anyone who took their time to read this review.
Until later!

One word to describe this book:
I always try to keep an open mind every time I read, but this book just did not do it for me. Though I can see that the author was trying something new, it just wasn't turning out good.
At the end of the book the author wrote "PROLOGUE" instead of Epilogue. I am not a major in English whatsoever or am I a grammar Nazi, but isn't prologue a word that even a fifth grader knows?
Sandra was a foreign exchange student in an all girls boarding school. One time, one of there professor was absent and the sub was Daniel/Tata. One girl made a mistake and he punished her.
He whipped her quickly again. Ten times he had whipped her with all of his might. She had screamed out the entire time. It had at least gone quickly.
A school where whipping their students not frowned upon?
After that, everything just went downhill. Their class went on a class trip, hence the title, they all got kidnapped, Sandra became a slave to his teacher.
I would not go further into details. But this was a really horrible book. The way the scenes transitioned from one point to another was confusing and the plot twists that I am believing the author was trying to do was really obvious and not at all unexpected.
If you still want to read this book even after all my warnings then go ahead.

Although this book received some terrible reviews, my curiosity was peaked and I decided to give it a try. I agree with the others that the story is unusual and very dark. That said, I seriously couldn't put it down. I, of course do not condone sex trafficking, rape, or abuse but I put aside my personal beliefs and just read. Sure some events in the story suspend reality and, in real life, Daniel should have been locked away for life in a dank, dark cell in a dungeon and tortured but I enjoyed the story for what it is; pure fantasy. No moral to the story, no lessons intended, just a story about two people who meet in very, very unusual circumstances and fall in love. Sure the circumstances are disgusting, I don't believe for one minute that the author thinks they're ok. I think she was just going for something totally different and she succeeded. Am I sick for enjoying this story? Maybe a little... I guess I'm just a sucker for a happy ending.

I didn't like it at all, the writing was bland and messy, I like reading dark stuff and taboo but selling this as a story of love and forgiveness?
DNF, I wouldn't recommend it either, not even the smut scenes are worth it, don't waste your time.

I felt like I was reading some rough, uncorrected and really raw version of another (absolutely not finished) book!
Maybe, if somebody takes this book and revises it in a better writing style and change the story line to be more believable, then (maybe) it will be OK for publishing... but this version is like some book-vision (written very poorly) expected to be completely reworked!
And btw. I hated these hints about europeans... yeez, we are not that bad! I had a feeling that the author of this book really doesn´t like us and is literally waiting for the right moment in the book to mention some unnecessary "flaw" about European life, traditions...

This book was like a poorly written essay (not a story) by a 5 year old. Absolute waste of time.

No. Absolutely no. The ending should have been vengeance. Murder. Loss of life. Not a child having a child with a grown man and marrying him. Absolutely disgusting. The only reason I finished it was because I was hoping for the correct ending of revenge. Not this bullshit. Idc if I spoiled it for someone because this book shouldn’t even be a book. This is disgusting

Interesting
It made sense. Some would say they could never do that but you never know until you’re in that situation. Low steam. Med violence. Overall it’s a thought provoking book. A bit twisted as you’ll think never! But I can see how it would happen.
