The things I knew about her, the way I watched. It was all to protect her, all to know her. She liked her tea with milk and sugar, extra sweet just like I knew her lips would be if I were to kiss her. I was desperate for her. She chewed on her pencil when she was concentrating, her little tongue coming out and moving along her bottom lip. I was hungry for her. She played with the ends of her hair … her.
She played with the ends of her hair when she was nervous, her fingers delicate, long, like she played piano, her nails painted pink.
The things I thought about her doing with those tiny hands.
And she bit her bottom lip when she was worried, those straight white teeth sinking into the red flesh, like an apple being broken into, the crack of it consuming.
I didn’t deny I wanted her. I didn’t even try and hide it. Innocent. That’s what she was. I stalked her, knew her every like and dislike … obsessed over her. I wanted her like I’d never wanted anything in my life. And I told myself that watching her, following her, was to keep her safe. To keep her mine. I was her professor. She was my student. It was wrong to need her the way I did. But she consumed me, like I was gasping to breathe and she was oxygen.
I was a selfish bastard, and when it came to Grace, I wanted her all to myself.

Until next time… Happy Reading!
I thoroughly enjoyed this story. It’s an insta-love, quick-fire chemistry romance—exactly what the doctor ordered. I read Professor in one sitting, I didn’t want to put it down.
The plot is beautifully executed with a good climax that isn’t over dramatised. No unnecessary drama, which is ALWAYS a bonus. There’s heat and enough forbidden in it that your insides are kept simmering nicely. The characters are thoroughly loveable. God, Lucian Goode is everything that will make your knickers disintegrate. Grace is a gorgeous heroine, she isn’t unnecessarily bitchy, difficult or whiney, but at the same she has that innocence that is begging to be debauched.
The character backstories was there and the secondary characters were brilliant. I really want more of Letterman Craig and sassy Sherry. Gimme gimme!
Honestly, this is everything I love about a great novella. Quick, easy, sweet and sassy with an added sexy edge. If you want a forbidden romance that’s going to tick all your boxes, this is it!
I received an ARC of this book and I am voluntarily leaving a review. This is the second book that I have read from Jenika Snow. The first book was an audiobook from the Read Me Romance podcast and I knew that I wanted to experience more of her work. There are no words to describe this book. I loved it. Lucian and Grace were a great couple. They are teacher and student and that is forbidden. She knew when she first walked into his class, that he was the one for her. Their attraction was slow burning because of the situation. I loved that. You were able to watch it all unfold and you could feel the emotion between the characters. The decisions that they had to make to be happy. Did they get their HEA? You will have to read it to find out but let me say you won’t be disappointed. I was pulled into the story from page 1 and I didn’t want it to end. I can’t wait to see what she has coming up next. I will be reading more of her work.
This was yet another incredible read written by an incredible author! She definitely nailed this one, no pun intended 😉 But really, the chemistry between Lucian and Grace was seriously off the charts hot as hell, and super flushing moments of wanting an alpha man like our Lucian too 😉
Obsessive professor and student
I enjoyed this story, although nothing about it was surprising. The sex was steamy. I thought the word love was used instead of obsession, but other than that. Enjoyable read.
I’m not usually a fan or teacher/student romances, but figured I would give this one a shot since two of my favorite narrators did it. I am so glad that I did! I loved everything about this one. From how they started the relationship to the way everything works out in the end. Great writing with amazing narration.
Whoa baby! I listened to the audiobook and this was so hot I had to take a few breaks listening to this. I loved the narrators and I especially loved that even when it was from one character’s point of view, the other character still said their parts. So it was as though they were both there speaking the words. The story is of a somewhat taboo nature but the attraction and pull between Grace and Lucian has you forgetting about that and just wanting them to be together.
I enjoyed this book. I thought that this older man/professor/student romance offered a entertaining blend of deep emotions, heat and a bit of drama. I felt Lucian was very hot. He was extremely intense, protective and devoted to Grace, but he also had a sweet and tender side with her. What can I say, I love a book boyfriend that believes his woman is his whole world and nothing else really matters. As for Grace, I liked her but didn’t love her. I’ll be honest and say I could never really figure out what my issue was with her, but that was just how I felt. I did think that this couple had amazing chemistry and they sure generated lots of forbidden sparks together. All together I thought that this was a very good book.
Packed with delicious alpha goodness, I can’t get enough, I can NEVER get enough of this woman’s way with words.
This book was HOT and STEAMY! I loved it!
I so much enjoy an alpha male character going after what he wants. The protectiveness and possession Lucian feels for Grace is so sexy to me. You can feel it coming off the pages as you read.
Grace is shy and more of an introvert. She has a hard time at first expressing her feelings to Lucian, however he does help her open up during their relationship. They embark on a passionate love journey, where Lucian is willing to give up everything, except Grace.
This is my favourite type of taboo story. I look forward to more from Jenika Snow!
Jenika Snow is the author I go to when I want something that is instant love between the characters. I know others don’t like that, and that’s fine, but I happen to love them. Lucian is a professor at the college and Grace is his student. Right there, you know it’s gonna go a little taboo! He wants her as soon as she walks into his room and she feels the same way but the feelings are kept to themselves. When Grace and her friend go out for an evening of fun, he follows them. Being that he’s in love with her, he wants to keep an eye on her. It’s almost like a stalker kind of thing but I didn’t get the creepy vibe of a stalker. When something almost happens, he’s right there to help her and the feelings start to come out. He doesn’t care who knows about them while she is more reserved and shy about it. Will they be able to stay together after being caught or will this tear them apart. I really loved it and I loved that there wasn’t any OW drama involved. Cute little story and I’m sure I’ll read over and over.
Teacher/Student is one of my absolute favorite reads. What can I say… bring on the taboo. I really enjoyed reading this quick story.
Wow! Jenika had me inhaling this taboo story in one sitting. I love student/teacher romances, and this was up there with all my check points. If you enjoy a little taboo on the side, then definitely grab this!!
