Affairs between professors and students is not one of my favourite romance novel tropes.

The professor, Sawyer Redmond, is filling in for his father who has passed away suddenly. Olivia is one of his brightest student, and Sawyer puts her in charge of a small group that is competing in a robotics competition. Sawyer and Olivia have met at a club the night before they are stunned to find each other in the college classroom.

Despite Olivia's spoilt princess background, her life has had its particular challenges. Sawyer's background is more murky and is unveiled through the story. They shouldn't continue to see each other, but the chemistry is on max. They continue their affair.

They are also falling into friendship, and that is what they both need most - a kindred spirit. This is the redeeming part of the novel.

The story ends on a cliffhanger. Despite my dampened review, I will get around to reading the next book in the series.

PS: Judging by the review I've just read below, seems like I was lucky to consumer this on audio and not on the page. ( )

The plot is problematic at best, the characters are pretty one note, the writing is not great and there were multiple typos/grammatical errors in the ebook I read.

Hard pass on the rest of the series. And I liked a couple other series written by this author. ( )
