A sizzling hot teacher burning for the one thing he can’t have, a student with a forbidden fantasy that’s more than just a crush, and an enemy determined to keep them apart…
Ten years ago, Ian Anderson met the woman he instantly knew was meant to be his mate. There was just one problem – he was a brand-new high school teacher, and she was a top student. Though he ached to protect Bianca and was desperate to take her as his mate, he knew she was still too young for him to stake his claim. So Ian did the only thing he could – he walked away - from his job, and his forbidden desire.
Now Bianca Silver is back in Tarker’s Hollow to do her graduate research. She’s never gotten over her inexplicably intense yearning for Mr. Anderson, which she swears is more than a silly schoolgirl fantasy. But an unexpected encounter with him alone in the woods sends her quiet new life into a tailspin, putting Bianca in the path of grave danger and showing her a depth of longing and pleasure she never imagined was possible.
With Bianca by his side, Ian has everything he ever dreamed of. But loving her isn’t as easy as he thought it would be. Between Bianca’s stubborn streak and the efforts of a mysterious attacker who seems to want her out of the picture, it’s going to take all her smarts and his experience for these fated mates to begin their new life.

I really liked it, the storyline, the characters and the writing. The 3 friends are a pretty smart but fun group (and gutsy)! Felt a little bad for Ian since he seemed always to be a little late whenever Bianca ran into trouble. A good start to a new series which appears to be part of a previous series. Good enough I’m going to see what else the author has written that takes place in Tarkers Hollow.
Holy hotness Batman! Must wear gloves for this smoking hot, sexy, must read! “Her Teacher Mate” is a fantastic renewed & improved romantic PNR fiction that grabbed me from the start! I was so glued to my seat that I read it in record time! ... This amazing story is the first in the new “Seasoned Shifters” world with awesome, relatable characters, witty dialogue, great descriptions and a touch of mystery with twists that will have readers hooked & turning pages like crazy! I highly recommend this to Adults, 18+ fans of fiction and I cannot wait for more, but for this author, I will ;)
Oh my! Can Tasha Black write anything other than 5 star books? I haven't come across any. Read them all and loved them all. I love the fact that this book takes Tasha out of her world and into another writer's world and then puts her own spin on it. Ian and Bianca are a terrific match. Ian, being the honest and honorable man he is, has waited 10 years for Bianca. What a guy, true love! The writing was fast paced, making you wanting to not put in down till the end. As always, Tasha brings me into the story line, making me feel that I am right there, watching from afar.

I am always thrilled to read a story that takes place to the amazing Tarker Hollows! Once again Tasha Black gave us an amazing new book! Thrilled to see this new series and what amazing stories Tasha Black will once again give us.
A schoolgirl crush. Not! Bianca knew what she felt for her teacher was more than a crush. But it was impossible. First the whole teacher-student thing. Then of course, why would that gorgeous man even look at her? She didn't even realize he heard the mean comments until he whispered something sweet and encouraging in her ear. From then on he ignored her and turned to head the other way when she was around.
Ian knew who Bianca was to him. He too knew all the reasons they couldn't be together. One day... Ten years late she came back to study for her thesis right here in town. His chance. Even that didn't quite work out. What seemed promising didn't work. Still, even if she wouldn't have him he had to protect her from the danger following her.
Can two people really ignore feelings over a decade old? What about learning of creatures only real in books? If it's true and in town and the man she loves is one? The friends are true and it looks like this is going to be a series with her friends "getting theirs" as well. Since I loved the ladies and the possible hot guys for them to find--I can't wait. This one is hot, interesting, has a mystery and great characters. Bring on the next one.
Bianca Silver was back at tarker's Hollow again after going away to college when she gets a note to attend tge full moon gathering with a meeting place and time. Being Curious she just had to go. Thinking it was some candle party to sell them or something equally as fun but right now she was lost. Then she had been younger and gone to high school here she had a crush on a teacher mr Anderson . It had really never gone away. Her and 2 of her best friends were in town to write a paper about a highway messing with the town but they wanted to know about supernaturals. Ian Anderson is a werewolf. He had known the first day he meet Bianca in High school when she was only 17 that she was his mate but she was too young. He was 10 years older and a new teacher. So he left but now she is back, she is his lol only does she see things that way? Oh your going to have to read to find out plus there is danger, action, drama, spice and so much more. OMG i loved it. great interaction between all the characters . I loved the twist and turns in the story took and the 3 best friends. I cant wait to read more about them. I couldn't put the story down so dont miss it.
An interesting story set in Tasha's Tarker's Hollow. A young woman, Bianca, comes back to town to do research. She is accompanied by two of her college friends and they are secretly investigating the rumors that many important people were secretly shifters. They are looking into the story that Andrew Jackson was a shifter and much of his correspondence is located at the college in Tarker's Hollow.
Biana gets what she thinks is an invitation to a sales promotion disguised as a party. Someone invited her to a Full Moon Party in the woods behind the college. She is surprised to meet up with a wolf in the woods. She is even more surprised when he turns into her childhood crush, Ian Anderson, an English teacher at her high school. Ian is sure Bianca has come to give herself to him as his mate, his dream will finally come true and Bianca will be his. Unfortunately, they are not quite on the same page about that.
I won't spoil the story for you by telling you more, but her friends will be showing up in future books.
A NEW storyline for Harkner's Hollow. This was quite a unique story and I loved it so much!
Possible SPOILERS

When Bianca sees Mr.Anderson at school she has a major crush on him but she knows it's not meant to be!

When Bianca returns home after doing some research at the library she is attacked and the attacker gets away but happens again! Why is someone attacking her and what do they want from her?
Where else for this new series to begin, Tarker's Hallow. This is Bianca and Ian's story. Bianca was thinking of a time in High School. Ian was a new teacher who made her head swim. They locked eyes and he knew that he must let her grow up and then come back for her. Bianca knew there was something about him she would never forget. One day, in the cafeteria the captain of the football team asked her to the prom. Who knew this would come back to her later in life. She came back home to do research on a paper for college and brought her friends, Addison and Mei. This is their story. It includes sultry outdoor scenes that should have set the forest on fire it wasn't the magical Tarkers Hallow. It has girl night fun. It also asks the question of what famous American President might have been a shifter. I found this book on Amazon for free. Lucky me. Thank you Ms. Black. Interested? I am. I think I'll read it again.
Bianca and her two friend have come to Tucker Hallow to research paranormal activity. But Bianca this is her hometown. When she was still in high school a new teacher came to town and she was lost dream about him all the time but one day in the Library a jock from school Approached her and after she turn him down he said some mean things to her and left but Ian shows up to tell her don’t listen to the creep she was beautiful but then he disappeared. Now she has been invited to a event in the woods not knowing about a full moon event. This is where she runs into Ian again but she is very shocked he is a large wolf. And the attraction took over and so they are mating. But she is sure what just happen so she wakes up and takes off. Only to get home to a burglar. So enjoy the read and see what is happening and how or if it will work out for them!!
Let me start off by saying I did not read the first book and leave a review and then go onto the second third and fourth. I loved the first book so I just kept reading them straight through. So if I get a little goofed up leaving the reviews. My apologies. I enjoy these books so much. I know I need to go back and read more books on Tarkers Hallow and I will definitely do that. It is an amazing, shifter, and now magical town. Back to business, this book is about Ian, pretty sure he found his mate when he was teaching only she was 10 years younger and a student. 10 years later and Bianca is back in town doing graduate work. I loved their story on how they came together after 10 years, but things aren’t always as they seem as Bianka finds out. They also have more on there that is a mysterious stalker. Such a good book.
When Ian arrived as a new teacher at the high school in Tarker's Hollow, he immediately knew that Bianca was his mate. Unfortunately she was only high school junior and he couldn't do anything about it. Bianca felt the pull towards Ian back then but he always made himself scarce. She went off to college and when she comes back to town along with her friends to work on a research project for her graduate degree, they meet in the unlikeliest of places. How they get together, the danger Bianca finds herself in and the paths they take to reach their HEA make this an interesting story with a bit of steam and humor, lots of friendship and love.
What a great story by an author I love to read! Bianca is back home with friends researching shifters when she receives an invitation to a party. When she decides to go she ends up with the very person she never expected, her high school crush teacher Ian Anderson. When Ian met Bianca he knew she was his mate but also that she was too young so he left but now he’s back. When he see her in the woods he can’t wait anymore. He now thinks she's his but she makes him work for her. And there's someone else in there way of their HEA.
The author once again gives a story with characters you just can't help but love, well most of them. A couple that finally is, romance, and suspense with a HEA. What more can you want in a story!
I liked the seasoned shifter theme. Ian Anderson started as a teacher at Bianca Anderson's High School. He was the hot teacher who was burning for one of the students. Ten years later, Bianca is back in Tarker's Hollow as a graduate student to do research work. She has never gotten over her crush on Mr. Anderson. An unexpected encounter with him in the woods sends her life in an unexpected direction.
I liked the characters, both Ian and Bianca as well as Bianca's friends. I can't wait to see how her friends get their own HEA's!
Fun book yet once again with a serious setting, love so lasting, it started in her early years at school her teacher crush his to have in the future but not now and of course the hateful bully. Years later they meet again and this time there is no holding back the love they have for each other had lasted all those years, however my bully had his desires too he acted her yet he wanted her and when he could he pounces, now it’s time for you to read what happened next and of course enjoy a little peek at another story almost ready to unfold, I recommend this book to you
Enjoyed this. After 10 years, these two are still drawn to one another like a moth to a flame. Bianca is no longer his student but Ian still has a few things he can teach her, lol. With the temperament of shifters, it's never an easy road and is always challenging. I like Ian, he is bold and determined yet not cocky. Her friendship circle adds humor and support. I like that Bianca's character development shows maturity even in the newness of her circumstances. Hang in there through the twist and turns in the plot, there is light at the end of this tunnel.
I really enjoyed reading this version as much as I did the first version. The characters are captivating, exciting and so entertaining. I know I will read this book again and again. The story is compelling,emotional and sizzling with so much passion. I enjoyed reading about these characters and even though I found some familiar parts it just made me enjoy it even more. This is such amazing and delightful redo that I really enjoyed reading. Thank you Tasha this is just what I enjoy reading time and time again.
This is a shifter tale with moments of seriousness, humor and mystery. The first of the series, questions are answered as a grad student returns to her home town for her research. A former teacher, a school bully, 2 best friends. The characters are well written, colorful, and so fun, the underlying drama catching the reader by surprise. Bravo! I am looking forward to the rest of the books in the series (hints were dropped of upcoming shifter connections).
I received a free copy of this book via BookFunnel and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Teachers made his fun exciting and a very fast paste read ,Bianca is feisty adventurous and quite willing to fight for heterogeneous no shrinking violet. She meets Ian Anderson who She has a crush on for years and finds out he is a shifter. This turns out bro be proof of something she always believed but was never sure of. I did enjoy this story Tasha Black did a terrific job.
Her Teacher Mate is a sweet second chance romance. I really enjoyed this story as I’ve always wondered what would happen if a wolf shifter finds their mate at an inappropriate age. Ian meets his mate when she is a student at the school he’s just started teaching at. He bailed and she went on to graduate. Now she is back and he is determined to claim her. This was an enjoyable romp that I recommend.
Bianca returns home to supposedly do graduate research, but she and her friends are really trying to figure out their hometown secret. To top it off Bianca runs into her high school crush who was her teacher way back then. What secret does the town hide, why are there wolves in the forest, and is there a happy ending for Bianca? Great read for those who love shifter romances. 💖💖💖
Ian has more restraint than most shifters. He met his mate, but rather than interrupt her childhood he left her be. I enjoyed the way they instantly reconnected and how his patience continues to be an asset to him. With a mate like her he sure needs it. I think you will enjoy the adventure and action between the pages of this book. I hope the next one is just as good.
Great novella. Ian and Bianca met each other too soon. Rather than ruin her future, he held down his wolf and allowed her to finish high school and pursue college. Now she's back home in the Hollow and his wolf will no longer be denied. But there is another sniffing around Bianca. This will not stand. Great characters, great writing. First book I have read by the author. Will definitely not be the last.
Loved it! So glad I got to go back to Tarker's Hollow. Bianca has had a crush on Jan since the first moment she saw him. She was a junior in high school & he was the new teacher for sophomore lit. She comes back to her hometown where they meet in the woods & he marks her as his mate. They have a whirlwind romance. I couldn't out this one down.
So loved the easy acceptance of a world of shifters and humans whom interacted in a loving “normal “ way plus the whole story line speaks of a mature relationship able to merge seamlessly into our human world. Delightful read. I would recommend to mature readers who love the paranormal world to experience.
Ian and Bianca met 10 years ago and both felt the attraction, but Bianca was a 17 year old human and Ian was a 27 year old shifter/teacher at her high school. Even though they were fated mates, the timing was wrong. Fast forward 10 years and the time is right! But there’s danger and misunderstandings before a nice HEA. Enjoyable story!
