Synopsis:
Professor Stephen Worthington's life makes perfect sense.
He teaches classes on Tuesdays and Fridays. He has dinners with his parents on the weekend. He goes to the gym with his comically crass stepbrother, Matt, a few days each week. And every night, he heads home at a reasonable hour, alone.
There’s only one thorn in Stephen’s perfectly organized side: Ms. Julia Wilde. Never has Stephen dealt with a more unruly student. She’s rude, provocative, infuriating—and she dresses in a way that is completely unbecoming for a lady. Stephen can’t wait for the semester to be over, and then he’ll never have to see her again.
That is, until Stephen finds himself out of the classroom and in Julia's apartment. Suddenly, the student/teacher roles are reversed, and the professor receives a much-needed lesson between the sheets. Stephen thought his life made sense, but after his tryst with Julia, he finds himself changed in more ways than one. Maybe he’s coming down with something.
Or maybe, something a little out of the ordinary is exactly what this stuffy professor needs to really live.

Review:
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I got this free from Netgalley for an honest review.
I'm not gonna lie. I do like the forbidden love story and this premise fit the bill. Professor/student romance and told through the males POV had me interested.
This was a pretty quick read and for the most part it had me interested. I just felt the characters were really one dimensional-especially, the Professor Stephen. As a self proclaimed nerdy girl I just couldn't relate to him. He was just so stereotypical nerdy that it just wasn't realistic to me. Basically, it felt like his life started when he met Julia. I understand socially awkward people but they still have hobbies/interests. I did like Julia and thought she was pretty independent. I also thought the sex scenes were pretty hot. The plot did leave more to be desired and I'm not sure I would continue with the series.
Overall,I did like the book but I just wasn't a fan.
