4.75 stars: Sex Ed and all the hot 101s
POV: dual
F BOMBS: yes
CLIFFHANGER: no
NEW AUTHOR FOR ME: no
POSSIBLE TRIGGERS: rough sexy times, BDSM, bondage, hand necklace, elevator sex, sex with others during class (Sierra only), toys, gags, spit play, face slapping, leashing and crawling, wrists cuffed and hung on a hook, painful discipline, degradation kink, breeding kink, praise kink, had to use safeword, orphan siblings, visiting orphanage
CHARACTERS: Sierra Monroe (23, virgin, submissive student, poor) and Steven Patton (British, mid-40s, professor, "BDSM-loving billionaire dom")
OVERALL: Sweet story - tears/emotions - great characters - HOT sexy times - low angst - not your typical professor/student story - Highly recommend
PROS:
1. Although both had personal issues/baggage, they were both likeable and relatable. Sierra had an amazing personality and she's submissive during sexy times but not a doormat and not whiny. Steven was controlling and dominant during sexy times, but thoughtful, genuine, and made sure there was aftercare.
2. Lots, and I mean LOTS of sexy times especially in the beginning chapters, but there's also a good story and backstory. Might need a tissue or two - for your leaky eyes.
3. Epilogue is a must read (with newsletter sign up), gives it a nice finishing touch
CONS:
1. Epilogue only available with newsletter sign up; story felt incomplete without it. I loved the epilogue but wish I didn't have to take extra steps just to read it.
2. What happened to Sierra's persistent ex, Luke Carls? After running into him at a sex club, exchanging some dialogue and putting on a show, he just disappeared and wasn't mentioned again.
NOTEWORTHY:
1. Some of the sexy classes taught at Club Radiant: c*ck riding 101, f*ing 101, squirting 101, throat f*ing 101, masturbation 101, bondage 101, etc.
2. Epilogue and Bonus class (Anal 101) available with newsletter sign up.
3. Sneak Peak link to Book 2's first two chapters available at the end of eBook.
FAVORITE QUOTE/PART IN BOOK:
Steven: "I couldn't relate to her in the slightest, but I didn't want her to be upset. She was mine to take care of. And sometimes, that meant lying in the rain with her while she cried her eyes out."
I received a free copy of this book and, as always, am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
