Infatuated: A Steamy Student/Professor College Romance

by M.D. Dalrymple

For fans of Ana Huang and Elle Kennedy!
He’s the professor? My professor. Oh no.

Finn
The first rule of being a college professor is a simple one.
The students are off-limits. Even tenured professors have been fired for the mere suggestion of impropriety.
But he didn't know Adele was his student when she approached him at the bar.
Then again, knowing that she was probably wouldn't have changed his mind.
And seeing her in his class less than a week later?
He'll have to pretend he doesn't know her.
Which is the most difficult thing he's ever done. Because he's infatuated.
The spirit might be willing, but the flesh is weak. Oh so weak . . .

Adele
A one night stand with a hottie before classes started.
That was all it was supposed to be.
How the hell did he end up being her professor?
Worse, how will she play off pretending not to know him?
Because all she wants to do is to get to know him better.
And keeping the secrets from other students, especially those who comment on how attractive the new prof happens to be, is driving her to the brink

This can end so very badly if anyone finds out, especially since it seems they can't hide it from everyone. If they can hang on until the end of the semester, they might have a shot. But can they take that chance?

A page-turning forbidden, steamy, student/college professor romance that will captivate from the first page! Happily Ever After guaranteed in this sweet and steamy campus romance with no cliffhanger . Each book in the Campus Heat series can be read as a stand alone, but are better when read together!

Reviews

[Alison · Rating 4 out of 5]

Stars: 4
Length: Novella
POV: Dual
Series: Campus Heat (Stand Alone)
Ending: HEA
Re-read? Probably Not

An unconventional relationship, mostly fueled by anticipation and late-night emails, but in his mind, she was his girlfriend. And if she were in trouble, then his career be damned. He’d help in any way he could.

It was a standard professor/student romance. It was good but nothing stand out. Adele and Finn meet and have a sordid hook-up in a bar bathroom after speaking for approximately 3 minutes. They walk away, never to see each other again.

That is until the first day of the semester and Adele is now in Finn's sociology class. Can they stay away from her? Was there more to their relationship than one germ ridden 10 minute romp in the bathroom? Perhaps, where they meant to be? Well you'll have to read to find out!

This is an entertaining age gap romance with strong characters in Finn and Adele. Throw in the drama and jealousy ,Adele's so called best friend ,and you have an interesting read.

A one night stand with a strange man in the bathroom of a student bar. Thus begins the relationship between Finn and Adele. Their shock is great when 2 weeks later it turns out that he is the professor of a class that she has to follow in order to pass her exams in June. But a relationship between professor and his student can have negative consequences for both, so they will have to turn off their feelings for the current semester. And that is almost too difficult.

The structure of the story is well laid out. You feel the underlying sexual tension coming off the paper.
The trap set for Adele to accuse her of stealing exam materials is heartbreaking. Fortunately, honest people still exist
4,5*

A quick, steamy, and sweet novella. Finn-Adele met at a bar and had an instant attraction and night, what they didn't expect was seeing each other in the classroom.

[Judy Gittleson Hendrickson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Finn and Adele meet at a bar and have a one night, but they both wish it was a lot more. But it all goes sideways when he ends up being her professor, which is against school policy. He could get fired and his reputation ruined. Their feelings and emotions cause trouble for them. Is there a way out for them? Good quick story of romance at the wrong time.

I have not read a bad book from this author yet and this book is no exception! The great plot and character development kept me so engaged throughout the entire book that I had an awfully hard time putting this book down until the very last page was turned!

[Lisa · Rating 5 out of 5]

The build up in this one is great.
Standalone with no cliffhangers, part of a great series.
It all started with a HOT time in a bar bathroom.
When Adele walked into her class she walked right into her bar man Finn, now her professor! The heat was still there but he just started this job and she's a senior. There was to much to risk, could they hold off until the semester was over?
This book has a nice slow relationship build with the added bonus of great friends and jealous girls.
Love when its right is not always easy.

This is the story of Adele and Finn. Finn was at a bar waiting on his associate professor and he happened to meet Adele at the bar. Adele was there with her friends and Finn was canceled on by his grad students and the other professor and he didn't want to go home. So he decided to stay at the bar even though he was there with mostly students. This is the story of friendship. Chelle is Adele's friend through thick and thin. This story is also about a person who pretends to be your friend only to try to get you in trouble because she thinks she should be able to get her way with men. She was not happy and didn't want anyone around her to be happier than she was. I am of course talking about Adele and Alyssa. Then this a story of professor and student a age gap romance. I really enjoyed this story but I have liked everyone of M.D. Dalrymple books I have read. It is a good read.

[Mulan Book Princess · Rating 4 out of 5]

I thought this novella was quite sweet but steamy. Finn and Adele meet at bar, and are instantly attracted to each other as their chemistry sizzles. The next meeting finds that Finn is Adele’s professor. While they try to hold back their attraction, it is hard to do so. Add in a twist that threatens their future, and this story will have you reading cover to cover.

I received a free advanced review copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a fair and honest review.

Adele and Finn meet at a bar and end up having a hot one night stand not expecting to see each other again. Imagine their surprise when Adele walks into her class the next day to find that Finn is her professor. They both continue to have feelings for each other but try to ignore it since he is her professor. How long can they keep fighting it? I only wish there had been an epilogue.

This is an interesting story about an older professor and younger student. It is a fairly short and quick read that is fairly hot. I really love the main characters but what a friend. This is Fin and Adele's story. It does have some drama, jealousy and hot action. What a wonderful ending too!

[Shannon Cameron · Rating 4 out of 5]

A pretty decent story. Lots and lots of build up due to the situation the MC’s find themselves in. The ending was ok, but I would have liked to see an epilogue, one that showed them in the future.

This was my first read from this author. The story is written in the third person point of view, sadly that's a deal breaker for me. However the story pulled me in. 4 stars
