*With many thanks to the author for a copy of this book!
A full-length, standalone college romance from Amazon bestselling author Hazel Kelly.
Synopsis:
Sadie’s no princess, and she doesn’t appreciate being treated like one. As far as she’s concerned, women who don’t wear ridiculous shoes don’t need to be swept off their feet, and the last thing the world needs right now is one more hopeless romantic maiming one more unsuspecting daisy.
But when a handsome, young professor takes an unprofessional interest in her mossy green eyes and muddy attitude, she can’t help but enjoy the sparkly feeling his attention stirs in her. And the more he lays on the charm, the more she fears she’s not as attached to her loneliness as she once thought.
Too bad he’s off limits. Then again, limits have never really interested Sadie.
But dreamy professors with penetrating blue eyes and sinfully sexy stubble? That’s a subject that’s about to make her senior year very interesting indeed…
Review:
I love a book that surprises me by giving me more than I expected, and that's what Professor With Benefits did! Yes, it's a well-written, steamy (as in fog up the windshield) teacher/student illicit relationship story, but it goes so much deeper by tackling some tough issues involving loss, grief, depression, and mental health . . . as well as dealing with the repercussions of forbidden romance. I was quickly hooked on the story and read it mostly in one sitting.
Professor Kellan Montgomery is only two years out of college himself when he meets a very sexy, sassy college senior, Sadie Sawyer, at a frat party (his last hoorah before starting teaching duties). Kellan is an intelligent, almost-too-good-to-be-true hunk who's sworn off meaningful relationships. And while he may have rode in on a white horse, he knows he has to fight his sudden overwhelming desire to have and save the drunk woman dressed in gothic black with pain in her eyes - the one who's just thrown up on his shoes. From the moment their eyes meet, he knows it spells trouble, and he's in danger of losing his heart and career.
Sadie is on shaky ground in both her life and college career when she meets Kellan - not knowing who he is. She's been warned . . . one more strike and she's out of school with only two semesters to go before graduation. Her choice of all black in dress and make-up mirrors her damaged soul while masking her pain and the darkness growing within her - a warning sign to keep others a safe distance away. She certainly isn't looking for Prince Charming, but there's something about Kellan that teases her senses while threatening to reignite a flame within her that was extinguished years ago. On the first day of classes, both are shocked to discover that he's her professor and she's his student. It would be a very bad idea for either of them to act on their sizzling chemistry and sensuous desire, and yet neither can find the strength to walk away. It is, of course, a disaster waiting to happen.
The story that unfolds is told through dual points of view with lots of sexy banter and heart-eyes moments, giving readers an inside track to the want, need, chaos, and turmoil taking place in each character's head. I appreciate that the plot line goes beyond what I have come to expect from a typical teacher/student story as it follows the developing relationship between these characters as well as their journey of self-discovery. Through laughter, tears, love, and fiery burn-the-house-down sex scenes, readers will fall head over heels in love with Kellan & Sadie. I like that the author digs deeper, unmasking the emotional turmoil and dark forces driving these characters - especially Sadie as she almost succumbs to the buried grief and depression that's feeding her suppressed anger. Fans of the series will love seeing more of Carter and Nina in strong support roles although I can say this book can be read as a standalone with no problem. Professor With Benefits is a Must Read - an illicit love story keeping it real even as the chemistry sizzles and true love blossoms!
