The Professor's Rule #1-5
The Professor's Rule: The Complete Collection
School is back in session.
When undergrad student James Sheridan set out to seduce his way into a better grade, he had no idea what he was signing on for. Professor Evander Carson wasn’t about to trade a good grade for sexual favors, but he was definitely willing to tutor his wayward pupil in far more than history.
By the end of their tumultuous relationship, James not only excelled academically, his sexual horizons had expanded to include pleasures—and agonies—the likes of which he’d never dreamed. But enough was more than enough, and James fled from his Professor, unsure of where his limits lay or if he had the wherewithal to set boundaries.
Two years later, a chance misdial puts James back in contact with his former instructor and brings all his old cravings back in force, leaving him yearning to kneel once again at his Professor’s feet. But James has a new life now, with new sexual and romantic prospects—most notably the charming menswear salesman Satish Malhotra. Still, the pull to return to Professor Carson is a powerful thing. Can James give in to it without giving up his newfound confidence and budding romance?
This collection includes:
- Giving an Inch (The Professor's Rule, #1)
- An Inch at a Time (The Professor's Rule, #2)
- Inch by Inch (The Professor's Rule, #3)
- Every Inch of the Way (The Professor's Rule, #4)

4.5 blistering hot stars rounded up to 5 here on GR because...you guessed it still no 1/2 stars to be found.
First off I've read a few books in the BDSM genre, not that I am by any means an expert in this area...not even close. I know enough to recognize that 50 Shades of Grey was simply 50 shades of wrong. Also I am totally not a pain junkie, I have what doctors have said is a very high tolerance to pain but I also have a very strong aversion to it, in any form and yet...sweetbabyjesus!!!! This is one hot book, admittedly the sex was intense, but I think for me it was more about the emotional journey that the story took us on.
James is an undergrad student who's grads are not looking good, he's desperate to fix this. This is his second kick at the can so to speak and he doesn't want to let his parents down so he's willing to do whatever he needs to for a better grade in his History class and with this in mind he goes to Professor Evander Carson to see what he can do about it. Problem is Professor Carson offers him a different solution than what he had in mind. This is the beginning of what becomes an ongoing affair between these two men. it's one that's...well...let's say complicated add to this a lack of communication, miscommunication and just plain non-communication and you guessed it...you have a recipe for relationship disaster. Something that James ultimately runs from.
Two years and a misdialed phone call later James allows himself to be drawn back into his relationship with Evander only this time a third party becomes involved and he's someone who James has feelings for. If things were complicated when it was just James and Evander. They get even more challenging when it becomes James, Evander and Satish. The minefield that these men navigate in an effort to find their own personal happiness together is fraught with tension, miscommunications and the potential for yet again another disaster. The resulting relationship between these men held a definite uniqueness that I haven't really encountered in stories before this book.
DO NOT READ THIS SPOILER IF YOU HAVEN'T READ AND PLAN ON READING THIS BOOK.
I was very surprised by the fact that a book where pain was such a central part of the main relationship would do anything other than make me want to move on...please refer to the first paragraph in this review... 'very strong aversion to'. So once again I was reminded that when it's done right a story can and will grab my attention and for me this one done right and it grabbed on and held tight from start to finish.
'The Professor's Rule' was originally put out as 5 separate stories and I'm not sure if I'd read them separately if I would have found them to be as intensely fascinating as I did reading it as one continuous story.
Note: To my friend, Kynthos-the-Archer, sorry it took me so long to get around to reading this and even though it didn't end up being one of the Secret Santa gifts that you gave me last year. You're still the reason that I ended up getting and reading these stories, so thank you so much for the awesome rec. It was amazeballs!!!

What started off a bit tepid, turned out to be one of the most scorching hot BDSM books I've ever read. The anticipation of where these characters are going next never disappoints, it in fact exceeds. Finished it 3 days ago and I still pant whenever it comes to mind, which is frequently.
Ladies, I only hope you're working on several sequels. My wallet's out of my pocket and I can't wait to slap my money down. Pretty please?

This book is fucking AMAZING. It's not in my favorites shelf solely because of the ending. That last part wasn't really my favorite, but, god, the rest was perfect.
To start with, I'm a hoe for teacher/student books and BDSM ones. Combining these two together? Obviously it would be an amazing book. I don't have words to express how good the sex was. I don't think I've read a book hotter than this one. I swear. It was a life-changing experience.

Read this, at least in part, a long time ago. I don't want to re-read it. It was hot the first time, but in a " I feel yucky about myself for liking it" way.
