Never write out your secret, spicy fanfiction about your professors when:
1) The stars of your fanfic are men you see every day.
2) There's even the tiniest possibility they'll get a hold of it.
Because if they do, be prepared, they just might respond...
Hot. Brilliant. Mysterious. Untouchable.
These are words students across campus use to describe Gage Sinclair and Alex Grantham, best friends and university professors. What everyone doesn't know? Sometimes they share the same woman in bed.
I want to be that woman.
Don't tempt us, they say. You're not our type, they insist. You're only twenty-three. Too young. A virgin. A student.
We will never touch you.
Well, I may be lacking experience, but I am a good girl, and they know it.
There's Alex, with eyes of an angel, the body of a sinner, oozing with alpha male goodness. And Gage? One: intense. Seeing right through me, telling me he'd always have to have his way, and that it might even hurt. God. I hope so.
They can deny me a thousand ways. Tell me it's not happening a thousand times. But there's only one word in each man's eyes when he looks at me: MINE.
Curious to know what it's like when two intelligent alphas are possessive and obsessive? Kinky and demanding? Who do MORE than just teach?

I’m so disappointed because I was hoping for such a good professor x student story 😔
I went into this one expecting a forbidden, addictive romance full of tension and heat. While the premise is certainly tempting, with two irresistible professors and one curious student caught in a dangerous game of desire, the execution did not fully work for me.
Leighton is young, inexperienced, and immediately drawn to Gage and Alex, two best friends who are everything she should not want. The setup has all the makings of a steamy, off-limits fantasy, but I found it difficult to connect with the characters. Their emotions often felt shallow, and the back-and-forth between them came across as immature and confusing. 🫠🫠🫠
Because Leighton is portrayed as a virgin, I expected more build-up and care in her first experiences. Instead, things happen very quickly, which made parts of the story feel SO unrealistic. The spice is definitely present, bold, explicit, and constant, but it sometimes felt more focused on shock value than genuine connection.
That said, the story does create tension. The taboo setting, the forbidden attraction, and the constant sense that someone might get caught kept me curious enough to keep reading.
However, I also feel like there was not much need for this story to become a long series. 🤔 It could have easily ended with the first book, and knowing that there are so many more installments actually made me less interested in continuing. (5 books is crazy 😭)
Overall, this book was not for me. It has a captivating premise and undeniable heat, but it lacked the emotional depth and realism I was hoping for. It was not a bad read, just not one I would revisit or continue the series for.
“Everyone starts out as anyone. Then, once they mean something to you, they become a something.”
“A degree of Temptation” by Verika Sloane is a romance book about a student and two teachers. Leighton, a student, fantasizes about her two older male teachers, she even writes fanfiction of them. When they find out they tell her not to pursue it because she’s young and inexperienced. Gage is the intense and serious teacher and Alex is the sweet flirty teacher and they just can’t stay away from her.
I really liked this book. I cringed but in a good way. It felt short even though it wasn’t because I wasn’t bored for even a second. I wasn’t sure how much I was going to like it, but it was so good, and I cannot wait to read the next book. 5 out of 5 stars.
1.5 I was expecting some light fluffy smut and ended up with a lot of immature angst, drama and assholery.
If you're looking for a hot possessive age gap romp, steer clear of this one. The FMC is immature, bratty and has no self respect. The whole relationship is basically painted like an addiction, in that she wants the high and spends 90% of her time in shitty downwards turmoil until she gets the high again.
Unhealthy and awful to read IMO. It really made me hate these professors. First that they don't make her feel special at all, second that they constantly demean her after fucking her, mostly acting like she's too young, inexperienced and immature to be able to handle what they're offering.
And what they're offering? She's a plaything. She's to make herself available when their very busy mature schedules are free, come to the location they choose, have a romp and then quietly go about her life and not to impose on them. When she was missing them after a week apart and started sending dirty pictures and messages, trying to get some attention, they were mean and rude to her. Ignoring her, acting like she was a child throwing a tantrum to get attention, not the third party to their Trinity deserving recognition Fuck these guys. I want men who will make their women feel like a million bucks, not make her feel like a brat for wanting a little affection. Made even worse by the fact that they 'punished' her by slapping the hell out of her ass.
No this book was just not for me and fuck the sequel.
Age gap? Teacher romance? Bdsm vibes? Hell yes. The actual delivery of said troupes? It’s gonna be a no from me. Have you ever read a fanfic/book and thought omg yes this idea is so good but then it’s just not written anything how you had hoped it would.
I nearly DNF’d this book for the main reason of the characters / storyline being absolutely all over the place.
She was a brat. Not in a kinky way but in an annoying way and, I’m very shocked she was 23 and not a teenager kinda way. The guys on the other hand were very condescending and only teachers for like 5% of the book the rest of the time they felt like mafia kings or something it was confusing like pick one or the other. For example I’d have loved to read with it continuing at the university but when there’s club owners etc involved like what book am I reading?
The other thing that cringed me out was 1. The use of the word creamy. Absolutely not, it’s my biggest pet peeve for describing wetness. 2. The author kept putting words like ‘LOL’ ‘ROFL’ ‘TTYL’ at first I thought it was sarcasm/a joke.., it was not. Idk each to their own but it made it feel forced that they’re trying to sound young but really it was not working. Oh and the word ‘omigod’ was mentioned so many times it was driving me insane.
Let’s not even get into the fact this girly took both men, at the same time after JUST losing her virginity, without ANY prep. Idk what kinda stretchy anatomy she has but I was rolling my eyes the entire time.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
All the smut! I’m usually into fantasy books, but I enjoy taking a break and reading something else. And this book was a NICE break.
If you’re into age gaps, then you will love this book. It’s all about secret relations and age gaps. It’ll leave you wanting more. In a way it kind of reminds me of 50 shades of grey, so if you enjoyed that book I definitely would recommend this one. But instead of just one guy, think of two… and they are your professors!
Can’t wait for the second book! Leaves you on a cliffhanger!
This was a good read and I’m definitely going to read the next 2.
The professors Gage & Alex have a secret that they ‘share’. Obsessive, attractive men in their early 40’s who will make anything happen to get what they want.
23 y/o Leighton is a virgin who writes smutty fan fictions of her professors. But what would happen if her big secret were exposed? She goes through a journey of self-finding & exploring to live a life she’s always dreamed. Even if it’s a secret 🤫
My personal opinion: I don’t like leighton. She acts like a spoiled teenager trying to get her way. If she was more mature I think I would’ve enjoyed her character a lot more. I LOVE gage. Everything about him hahaha his demeanor and how he can break so easily hahaha Alex is a softy imo but can be a bit of an… ‘ass’ when he needs to be 🤭 Smut is really good and descriptive!! The fan fictions were raunchyy haha but i did cringe reading ‘my sex’ & ‘my heat’ over & over 😭 however, absolutely worth the read. I will be reading book 2, & I hope Leighton has some character development.
I DNF !!!!! Enough is enough!! I tried I really tried to go through this book but I couldn’t stand it anymore. The FMC was very very pathetic!! Immature, needy, has no respect for herself. I mean, have a little dignity for the love of God! The MMCs, OMG!!! I got angry with them for the way they treated her!! They claimed that Leighton wasn’t a plaything for them but that was exactly how they treated her!! I didn’t finish the book to know if they actually developed some real feelings for her… but for I read… it felt that way. The only thing that I enjoyed was the smut scenes! But not even that made me want to continue the book.
I have been looking forward to reading this, but I am so disappointed in this story. The main girl is such an immature brat. I am surprised that the hot, somewhat boring, professor characters would even get involved with someone that is this stupid. There are funny and hot moments but i will not waste my time reading the sequel.
An Erotic Romance... Leighton, Alex and Gage's Story
This is the story of Leighton and her professors. This story is a good read. It is the story of an age gap thruple. This story begins with Gage Sinclair's Political Theory class. Professor Gage Sinclair and his friend Alex Grantham teach at Kressley college and are two of the hottest Men on campus and are best friends, actually more like brothers. Leighton is told by Professor Gage at the end of class to make sure she has her essay turned in on time. He says she could have a flawless grade but she turned in her last paper late. Leighton has written this story about her and her professors and as she stayed up late to finish her essay and falls asleep at her desk as she is reading her fanfiction story about her and her professors. You guessed it 😂 she sent the wrong paper to Professor Gage and the story takes off from there. It really is an easy interesting reading book 📚📖. I would recommend this book to those readers who are not offended by an erotic story. This story is more about relationships than the sex and romance, but I really enjoyed it. I first found this book on another platform and I decided to look for it on my Amazon Kindle. There's another book next I will be reading in this series, the Academic Sin Series.
“Seeing one makes your day, seeing both haunts your dreams.”
Just a tiny glimpse. This book is a first for me from this author, and I enjoyed it so much I couldn’t put it down. I tend to have a harder time accepting characters in certain age groups due to their mentality, Leighton was no exception. She did grow on me though.
The book had me cringing, then laughing, then in shock, then comforted. Definitely can’t wait to get my hands on a copy.
This was such a cute, spicy romance book! The premise is so unique and I love that it all started with a fan fiction of the FMC and the two MMC professors! If you are into age-gap and student/professor taboo relationships, definitely give this one a try!
It's definitely spicy but nothing dark. The MMCs are the jealous/possessive type (which hello, sign me up) and she's a virgin which adds another layer.
The ending has me dying for book two because I need to know what happens next!
First I want to them Verika Sloane for allowing me to read this book as an ARC. Below is my honest review of the book.
Holy Moly! This is one steamy book. I really enjoyed the fantasy turn reality in this book. Two professors who are more than attractive, the forbidden romance, and the dominant vibe in this book is 🔥! Defiantly some new tropes I have been introduced to. This book had me hooked just a couple chapters in. I couldn’t put it down. Plus it ends with one of my favorite things, a cliffhanger! I am more than ready for book #2. March 2024 can’t come soon enough!
This would have been a five star but the female lead, Leighton, annoyed the tar out of me. She’s 23, she’s a grown woman, acting like a teenager. Her obsession was just kinda weird for me and she went into the relationship like a teenager would. It was a good book and I did enjoy it, I just wish she was more mature. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
I read this in under 12 hours ! This is a taboo professor/student with more than one book in the series. The mfc writes spicy fiction of her two much older professors with her being the star when she accidentally submits it via email instead of her original assignment she was meant to send. You can cut the sexual tension with a knife 🔪 looking forward to the next instalment from the naughty professors. Spice: 🌶🌶🌶
I love the story and the characters, but there are so many mistakes in this book that it gets distracting! It's too good of a book to let something like grammatical errors, misspellings, and other minor errors that are honestly, probably just typos, detract from it. Ms. Sloane REALLY needs to hire a good editor! Do the book the justice it deserves and get an editor to clean all that stuff up so readers can just become immersed in this story!
Kinda ended up hate reading to finish this book but trying to read what’s supposed to be a 23 year old woman sound and act like she’s only 18 is difficult. Her decision making, choices, and dialogue just doesn’t fit for her written age and why I dropped my score down to only 3 stars. The plot is serviceable so I will continue reading the series and I’ll be hoping our main character starts to act a bit more mature.
This book was okay for the most part, however the FMC stressed me out and annoyed me to an exhausting point with her actions and her words. It was very taxing to get through this but I’m trying to pull through because I feel as though it could be a great series so I’m just trying harder to get it done. Overall though this book was okay. I do hope I see some difference in the FMC in the other books, like I need her to evolve or maybe even the MCs to evolve as well.
This is a really spicy story between Leighton, a college student, and Gage and Alex, two of her professors. A lot happens, it is never boring and it ends in a cliffhanger. The only downside for me was that Leighton was often immature and a bit annoying. I can’t wait to read what happens next.

this book went wayyyy above my expectations for it. i’m so excited to continue the series. i’m usually a romantasy girly but i needed something a little more *real* to read (rather than listen like usual. ps: this book definitely needs an audio version) i get bored easily with romance but this book kept me hooked. i’m very excited to see what’s next
I had really high hopes for this one and it started really good, but the more I read I became aware that it could have been written way better. Both of the professors just used her instead of giving in for a real relationship. They didn't see her as their equal and treated her with less respect than they should have.
I think I would have liked this more if it were multi-pov. This was something that would have been right uop my alley but it only being in her pov was annoying. She's 23 and the way she acted you could really feel it at times. I most definitely will not be continuing the series because wdym its 5 books long??
🌶🌶🌶🌶 This book is spicy but good. Both professors have distinct personalities and choosing would be impossible. I'm not usually into multiple MMCs but this was hot and definitely works. Taboo with the professor and age gap dynamics. You do gave to get past a number of typos and grammatical errors however, which can be annoying.
I absolutely loved this book. This is the first romance novel I have read. I plan to read more. The author definitely has a way of engaging the reader. I can't wait to buy book 2.
It was kind of an odd book.. almost a DNF in the beginning. This could easily just be a novella as it doesn’t contain a very good storyline. Some steamy scenes if that’s what you’re after. I don’t find it too attractive when the FMC is so desperate and attention seeking. Left on a cliffhanger.
I don’t care what anyone says, this was a fun ass read. The scandal, forbidden, HOT. So hot omg. I wish that was me lowkey 😭😭 This smut is perfectly trashy and I loved every minute of it.
Not sure if I want to continue the series. I struggle with Leighton, she is supposed to be older but acts like a 12 year old! And there were so many grammatical and syntax errors. The teacher in me couldn’t help but get out my metaphorical red pen and it distracted from the story line.
Holy 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️! You want spicy, a great story, characters who grab your heart get you hooked on their story. Love the build up and how it’s written. 10/10 highly recommend! You will not be sorry
