That's What I'm Talking About

Josie Green, an American archeology professor, is on a six week summer dig in Ireland, at Professor Declan O’Shaughnessy’s site. While Josie finds Declan utterly attractive, she thinks he is a perfectionist jerk. However, after a night of drinking too much, Josie lets Declan know just how much she wants him, and the pair begins a D/s relationship, intending to end once Josie leaves Ireland.

The Professor’s Student is an erotic and highly sexual romance. While the pair doesn’t spend all of their time in the bedroom, the sex is the primary focus of the book, more so than either of the previous Bound stories. The initial scenes are passionate and lust-filled, and it's all about the sex.

Once Declan realizes that he enjoys having a partner who is equally as interested in his digs and finds as he is, the pair spends some quality moments becoming more than lovers. However, the book jumps forward in time so often, that there is little room for the reader to see the whole relationship come together. Yet, with that said, I did have a couple tears in my eyes and was filled with emotion when Josie headed back home once the dig is over.

The Professor’s Student falls well within the erotic romance genre, with a focus more in the bedroom and less out of it. I really like Declan and Josie, and their play is sexy, fun, and just plain hot. Ms. Green is a master at crafting sexy, sensual scenes. While I missed some of the more emotional moments that I enjoyed in Drawn That Way, I still found The Professor’s Student a wonderful read and a perfect low-conflict, “getaway” story.

My Rating: B+ Liked It A Lot
