Do soul mates really exist? Is there another person out there who was born just for you? And are they the only one who can answer your heart's call? Bridget Monahan is an elementary school teacher and she's about to find out the answers. Her heart is on the mend from many failed relationships, she's a skeptic when it comes to finding love, and the last thing she wants is to be set up on a blind date. However, she's introduced to the charming bad boy Tristan Hathaway. Bridget's first impression of Tristan is he reminds her of a beautiful fallen angel with a British accent that makes her knees weak. When they begin their passionate romance, Tristan is able to break her defenses that were guarding her heart for so long. Despite being opposites, she allows herself to fall deeper in love with him and starts to believe they are soul mates. Bridget unexpectedly becomes the student in this magical love affair and her biggest lesson is there's more to Tristan than she ever imagined.

I really wanted to like this book a lot more than I actually did. The concept was good as was the overall storyline, however the adult themes did not mesh with the young adult writing style. I would have also enjoyed seeing a red pen taken to the mundane portions of the text, this book could have and should have been condensed down to a much more managable size.

I really liked the love story between Tristan and Bridget. It was intense and special. There were a few editing errors, but it didn't take away from the story. Now I want to know about the other characters in the book and what happened to them, especially Jake and Justin. Loved this story.
