TEACHER + STUDENT = DISASTER.
OR DOES IT?

Claudia de la Rosa, is a starry-eyed innocent with book-learned wisdom who has just arrived in the glamour-charged world of Beverly Hills to become the high school English teacher of Lance Van Arden.

This is his first novel, and it is a love story with a surprisingly mystical heart.Actress Betty White had this to say: "Not since Bridges of Madison County have I been so involved in someone else's very private life.

I've read it many times and thought it was a delightful read - easy to recommend!

The Dowagiac Daily News (Michigan) said, "As the cover teases, teacher + student = disaster. Or does it?

Not in Weaver's capable storytelling hands. A story of forbidden love which would seem to have a high ick factor actually proves uplifting."

Not since Bridges of Madison County have I been so involved in someone else's very private life. For an even more impossible forbidden love you must read Soul Mate--You won't put it down.
--Betty White
Soul Mate turns upside down our usual beliefs about a romance between a teacher and a student. Great characters of depth and passion locked in a seemingly hopeless relationship facing impossible obstacles. Throw in an outrageous, teenage psychic to guide our hero through a maze of riddles, along with a puritanical principal who suspects the worst, and you have all the ingredients for a great story that compels you to keep the pages turning to a surprising ending. It's a fun read about a weighty subject.
--Ronn Moss
A wonderful summer read. It's the ultimate plane or summer beach book. Fast-paced with really interesting characters. The hero, Lance, is the guy you'd like to be stranded on a desert island with. This is subject matter reflected in today's headlines. It's important, and should be taken seriously. Perfectly delightful.
--Susan Flannery
I've either seen or acted in a lot of romantic stories in my career and, believe me, Soul Mate is unique. Tender, erotic, mystical, globally conscious, with a sense of purpose, Ron Weaver has made it work like gangbusters. A page turner.
--Jack Wagner
Before I read Soul Mate, if you?d told me I'd be rooting for a relationship between a teacher and her student, I'd have said, "You're crazy." But these are great characters and a great story. Not only did I root for them, I was inspired by them. This novel engaged me as much as the four Twilight books I'd just finished. And the love scenes--Wow!
--Katherine Kelly Lang
I've read Soul Mate five times. That should tell you something. It?s been a mind-blowing experience every time and always leaves me wanting more. Can't wait to see the movie!
--Lesli Kay
Soul Mate is one of those novels that gets under your skin. You keep turning the page to scratch the itch. I was smiling when I got to the last page, finally soothed and satisfied. Great characters. Loved the unraveling of a love that shouldn't be (by society's standards), but is because a powerful destiny is in charge.
--Joseph Mascolo
A journey of unforgettable intensity, woven with wisdom and passion that ignites the soul leaving it hot and sweet and more alive than humanly bearable. Don't read this book--devour it!
--Lesley-Anne Down
