Out of Bounds
In this steamy debut by author Michelle Woods, professor Evelyn Dains risks everything to explore long-repressed feelings and desires in the arms of someone other than her husband, Jackson.
A respected professor, a loving mother, and wife to a devoted husband, Evelyn lives a life many women would kill to have. She’s happy—or is at least she’s willing to tell herself she is.
But when a relationship from the past resurfaces, it throws Evelyn’s world into turmoil. Suddenly she finds herself tempted in a way she hasn’t thought about in years.
Evelyn wants to do the right thing—but she wants to follow her heart more.
As her passion and desires intensify, she’s forced to weigh the cost of stepping out of her old life and into the arms of a new lover—and decide whether she’s willing to lose the things she thought she held dear to reunite with the person she thought she’d lost forever.
A riveting page-turner about burning desires and secret passions, Out of Bounds is a smoldering romance that will delight hot-blooded women of all ages.

4.5 stars!
Just provocative in so many ways -- with an emotional roller coaster ride when it came to the author telling this storyline. I never wanted it to end: graphic sex scenes and the author also made you feel as if you was right there in every important moment -- plus readers can feel their chemistry whether on the phone or face to face interaction and plenty of fireworks from their friends & family. What i did not mind were the added information of all the infidelities taking place because of what their backstories involve. Way to much instances of the push-pull between them -- it was heartwrenching and painful at times just reading some of the tearjerker stuff that took place. A nicely written love story with an open ended conclusion and cliffhanger -- lots of unanswered questions. Highly recommended to everyone!

WTF, I'm so tired of reading books that end on a cliffhanger at least warn us, I know some authors states it in their book.

What the hell !!! I need a sequel now. This is my second book in a month where i curse the ending, this ain't good for my health.
Although this story reminds me of bad memories, love is still love and sometimes it hurts but hopefully sometimes it's worth it, so that said it was very well written and kept me reading . Nice job Ms Woods.

So you know this has cheating in it..so for those people that dont like cheating well I guess you wont want to read this..I find it odd myself. So if you don't agree with murder then you don't read murder mysteries either?...anyway..I give this 4.5 because the word is... Sequel alert! "No Bounds is the next book...its been a long time but I hope its coming. If it does not then my rating would go down. Enjoyable page turner I thought

A page turner. The book ends in cliffhanger and I probably wouldn't enjoy as much if I read it when it was released and had to wait so long for the sequel, but fortunately, book 2 is out now, so I can jump right in.

Lana and Evie have denied their fire for each other since high school. A drunken night in college leads to nothing but swearing the night never happened. Lana ends up running. Leaving Evie with no explanation, no goodbye, no hope. Years go by Evie lives her life, marries Jackson, has a son. All in bounds. Lana returns and fires ignite from the still glowing embers of lost love. Both Lana and Evie cheat on their spouses and plan to start a life together. Life (being life), gets messy when other hearts are involved. Pressures of family, secrets and the past make every decision painful. The cliffhanger that comes at the end is unexpected and will make you want to dive into the next book. This is a good book that sizzles with spice and drama.

Only 2 stars because the sex was good. Who ends a story this way? There should have been some sort of warning!

Gripping
Well I didn't expect that. What a wonderful book, gripping from the off right to the very last full stop. I truly hope this isn't a one off book and is serialized. Brilliantly written.

Just wow
I like others hope there is a second book. I enjoyed this first I've a great deal but would like to see where their relationship goes. The writing was quite good and the topic explored interesting.

Are you kidding me!!!! I can't believe this awesome story ended the way it did. We were lead through this journey between the lives of these two women to only be left at the end to only imagine what happens next!!! NOOOOOOO!!! Please pick up where you left off!!

Can't give it zero
I hated the ending. It was pointless. If I want real life, I look in the mirror. I read to escape my life. I can only say I hated the ending! It was shallow shock effect. It didn't enhance the story in the least.

Sorry. Not to good.
Sorry. I really didn't like this book. Married woman in affair with a woman. But the " girlfriend" is also married and dating a man. Sorry. Get out of your marriage commitment before you fool around. The end? What ending. There isn't one.

A freaking cliffhanger?! Really?! Not cool. Not at all. I would've added it to be read when the next book or books were released.
Otherwise, great book. But the end absolutely KILLED me!

What a book!
I definitely did not see that ending coming. I think Michelle did a really good job of making Evie sympathetic. Do we find out what happens next.
