When I told my mom that my new year's resolution was to self-publish a book in 2013, she pretty much told me "About time!"

I'm not really into Hollywood stories, actor/actress because in some stories, the actor/actress has to make a scene with a co-star like a kissing scene or worse, a sex scene but I'm glad nothing like that happened in the book and the focus is more about the H and h's relationship. And I love it! Just perfect! It's so good I didn't want it to end.
The story is about Griffin and Avery.
Griffin has his own company, Stone Studio Teachers. Avery is a new actress and it's her first lead role and first movie. She's not legal yet the first time he saw her. He waited three long months to have her and make her his.
Griffin is the perfect hero. Avery is a very likable heroine. The story is sweet with an epilogue . I love it!

Griffin sees Avery on the set of her new movie for the first time. He knows instantly that he will do everything to make her his. He just now has to wait until she turns 18.
On Avery’s Birthday, that is the first time that she meets Griffin. Instantly drawn to him but she doesn’t think he feels the same way since he is older than her and her teacher.
As the truth comes out and she gets to know him more, she knows that she’s found her forever. If only she can get her mother on board and not control her whole life.

-h is virgin
-H not talk about his history
-epilogue about 8 years out of so

* I received an arc for an honest review *
It may be a novella, but it still had the storyline and the drama just right, including the hot, dirty talking teacher that had me panting and flushing every time he opened his mouth. Jesus, I'm fanning myself just thinking about Griffin's hotness ;) Griffin and Avery may have the age difference but they had the connection and chemistry working for them. I loved Griffin's determination to make Avery's his the moment he sport her. He knew that even though he had to wait until she was 18, that no one would have her but him. I loved how patient and gentle he was towards her, and how protective and possessive he was when he sees someone looking at his Avery with lust. He was 27 years old and the owner of Stone Studio Teachers, that's where he first spotted his beautiful bright eye girl. Love his nickname for her :) So he set the path that would lead her to him and became her teacher. It might have killed him being that close and not make her his sooner but he did it because he didn't want to scare her with how he feels for her. I loved that even though he was clearly an alpha male, he still could give her sweet and gentle; perfect combination. I felt sorry for Avery because her mom was cruel, greedy and selfish woman that wouldn't allow her to do what she wanted to do, which was go to college, instead of being the actress her mother wanted her to be. Avery was 18 years old, but had a matureness to her that not many young girls would have at her age. Yet, she was naive in the sense that when she found herself having strong feelings towards Griffin, she didn't know how to proceed or act on it because her mother really did shelter her a lot (but only the mother benefited from that). I absolutely loved that when Avery's mother found out, Griffin put her in her place, when she tried to blackmail him with his relationship with Avery without realizing that he was actually the owner of the studio not simply a teacher. Loved that part, lol I felt sorry for Avery at the end of that because her mother left her but Griffin immediately took advantage to take care of her and move her into their home. At the end, her mother did her a favor for leaving, they didn't need that toxic entering into their relationship. Beautiful epilogue with two daughters and at the last sentence, she gets pregnant again with twins :)

I loved this short story! Griffin sees Avery on set of her first movie and instantly falls her her. Only problem is that she's 3 months shy of turning 18. He develops a plan that gets the girl! A steamy short read!

Another sexy and short novella type story by Rochelle Paige. Griffin Stone finds the love of his life the minute he sets eyes on Avery Rose but the only problem is he cannot claim her for a few months. Reason- she isn’t 18 yet. From the day he sets his eyes on her she is on set of the movie she is a lead actress in and the movie his company is contracted to provide set teachers to all the minors. Griffin comes up with a plan that allows him near his dream woman and allows him to keep his eye on her while he bides his time.
Avery Rose is a beautiful and sweet young woman who is very trusting and is also being controlled by her mother. She does what her mother says but she values her education and so she has been in between a rock and a hard place , for she hasn’t had anyone but her mother. Until him- Griffin . He is handsome and so charming. He is also 10 years older than her and her new set teacher. She falls for him but thinks she doesn’t have a chance with this learned and handsome man…if she only knew what Griffin has planned for her.
This is a sweet and beautiful insta-love story that the author has written for this couple. There is a villain, you have the older man and young woman and the sexual tension/heat is thru the roof. I loved the ending and epilogue. This is my type of story and I cannot wait to see what Ms. Paige has next for us.
My Rating: 4.7 stars *****

3.75 STARS. Avery Rose is a newly discovered actress staring in her first movie. Griffin Stone is 27 years old he's the son of a famous actress and his Dad was a teacher. His Dad loved teaching and stayed with it even though his Mom wanted him to quit. He ended up being killed at a shootout at the school where he taught. Griffin always wanted to be a teacher too but his Mom was against it so he compromised and became a set teacher. He now has his own company, his employees teach minor actors on movie sets. When Griffin sees Avery for the first time he is blown away but then he realizes he will have to wait 3 months until she turns 18. He keeps his feelings to himself and bides his time until he can make his move. This was an okay story but I couldn't stand Avery, she was so damn immature I don't even know why he liked her. Even after she turned 18 she kept saying "I can't because of my mom", WTF ? grow up you dumb, twat !

These 2 were adorably sweet. Griffen sees Avery at a movie shoot and knows she is the one right away (adore the insta-love stories). He has to wait for awhile, until she turns eighteen, to make is move but he knows she is his forever.
When she has her birthday, he becomes her on set teacher to help her prep for college. He is so good and patient with her that is just sweet and adorable. I loved how he spent time with her before he really made his intentions known. Her mom was a bit of a "thorn" but he took care of her....which is good because as a mother....she really didn't make the cut.
This is a sweet must read....you will fall in love with these two.

If you need something to tickle your pickle then this is for you.
I highly recommend this book.

Rosalie's review:
Griffin Stone knows the minute he sets eyes on Avery Rose that he has to have her. Knowing that she is a few months shy of 18 only puts his plan on hold, but certainly not indefinitely. From the day he sets his eyes on her on set of the movie she is a lead actress in (and his Teaching company has been contracted to provide education to all minors on set the required number of days), he knows exactly what he needs to do to make her his...only to bide his time.
Avery Rose is a naive teenager that loves education. Her mom pushes her into acting, not wanting her to pursue her education; and all she has in her life is her mom, so for now, she will listen to her. Until Griffin comes along. But how could someone so gorgeous, and 10 years older than her, have any interest in her? She's only 18 and she probably doesn't compare to the women he has or is dating! If only she knew...
Ms.Paige weaved a story in this one. I wanted for Griffin to do whatever in his power to win Avery over from the beginning. I love inst-connection/love and this novella set this up nicely. The angst kept me on my toes and the chemistry between them, and the way the scenes were so intricately detailed, kept me HOT! Again, Ms. Paige's books never fail to deliver, and Star Pupil is no exception!

Star Pupil is super sweet, a hell of a lot of sexy and one of the best quickies ive had the pleasure of reading in a while.
Griffin is a 27 year old man born from acting royalty. He never wanted to follow his mother into the limelight he wanted to teach like his father so as a compromise he started his own company Stone Studio Teachers walking around the studio his company is based is where he spots up and coming actress Avery for the first time but as she is not legal yet means he will have to wait to claim what he wants. Griffin has spent the past three months being patient waiting for the day that Avery turns eighteen but now that she is no one and nothing is going to stand in his way.
Avery is a young naïve teenager that has been plucked from obscurity and landed a lead role in a blockbuster. Acting is not her first love and if the choice was left to her she would have stayed in school and still harbours hopes of attending college, but her mother is enjoying the money far too much to let the gravy train stop. She feels trapped until she meets Griffin on her birthday he is perfect in everyway and seems to want to give her the world but how could someone as gorgeous as him see anything in a young girl like her.
This is a quick and seriously hot read with a just right possessive alpha male and an endearing heroine. Just wish it was longer as I didn’t want it to end.

I received a copy of this book for an honest review.
If you like insta love with an older man and younger woman you should one click this.
Avery was an up and coming star when she arrived on the set Griffin Stone saw her from a distance and knew she would be his. Only problem was he had to wait 3 months until her 18th birthday to put his plan in motions…well maybe he put some of his plan in motion from that point on. You see Griffin owned the company the studio hired to make sure the kids received their proper schooling.
There was some drama in this one but Griffin was able to snuff that flame out quickly. Avery’s mother didn’t have a clue what she walked into when she tried to pull some of her crap with Avery. The things Griffin did for Avery was sweet.
This was a quick read and kept me turning the pages Griffin has so many surprises by the end of the book. I absolutely loved the epilogue. What an ending!!

Rochelle Paige is back with another short sweet novella that borderlines on the taboo subject.
Avery is a young Hollywood star who has just turned 18. Her on set teacher is Griffin, who takes an instant interest in her. The feeing is very mutual but when Avery's mother finds out, their new relationship may blow up in their faces.
STAR PUPIL is a very quick and easy read with an over- alpha make who is determined to have the woman he wants. The love scenes are hot and female readers will wish they had a teacher just like Griffin!

This was a really good, fast, steamy read. When Griffin sees Avery for the first time, it shocks him how attracted he is to her but because of her age, he has to wait. Once Avery turns 18, all bets are off and Griffin can finally "meet" her and make his intentions known.
I loved that although short, this novella still had a good story and was well written from a dual POV with no cheating and a HEA.
A very good age-gap romance.

STAR PUPIL is a super short but sweet novella about Avery, an up and coming star actress and her set tutor, Griffin Stone. The hero fell in love at first sight with Avery and he waited until she turned eighteen, when he could finally claim her. Loved his sexy alpha maleness!

A surpise
I was honestly surprised at how much I enjoyed this one! Part of that was the whole teacher thing. But just the way Griffin stood up for Avery and showed her how strong she was, it had me. They are so sweet, fierce and on fire! A quick, over the top Insta love goodie! 5/5 stars

The cover for this book makes it seem like you're in for a smutastic read but it's actually a realistic and super cute read! Griffin is the ultimate gentleman with just a touch of overprotective caveman thrown in and Avery was surprisingly down to earth for an up and coming actress especially with a mother with hers.

Really enjoyed this story of a hero that sees his love and stays in the background pulling strings until they can be together. Loved that he made sure she could get her education and that he was supportive of what she wanted. Great read with a happy ever after.

Cute, but there isn't much here in the "forbidden teacher" trope. He doesn't contact her until she's legal. And then he isn't really a teacher, he's more like a private tutor.

Shirt, sweet and sexy!
This may be just a short novella, but that doesn't take away from anything! Full of sweet, heat, and story.
