Well.... Ms. Mosley didn't stand a chance honey! 🤣 Mr. Prosper put down that young, rough around the edge's charisma, and she folded like an ironing board! 🤣 He was so sweet, gentle, and honest with her about everything, that she couldn't help but fall. Can't wait to see what happens next.

It was Prosper Alonso Shakur for me!! I would have folded for him as well, just like Nia’Rose eventually did!🤤🤌🏾I ran through the pages so fast - it was forbidden, the tension, spice, the push and pull and finally letting go and letting love rule.. whew!😩🙌🏾

I could have had 150 more pages of Prosper and Nia. I love a man who knows what he wants and chases! Prosper was that man and the way he courted Nia was so cute. The way he carried himself was so attractive. Nia tried to fight the attraction as best as she could but my girl couldn’t resist him. I loved how Prosper showed Nia what real love felt like. I loved their spice and we got to see how their bond developed even though it was fast paced. I felt their chemistry through their interactions and I ate this book upppp!

If you’re into novellas, I totally recommend this one. It was a super quick and fun read, and the playlist made for it was honestly top tier—really added to the vibe. 4.25

This is erotica with really spicy scenes. I had to remind myself that it’s meant to be more smut than plot, but the premise still had a decent grip. We follow Ms. NiaRose Mosley, a 36-year-old professor dealing with the end of her eight-year relationship after her partner went off and had a baby on her. Then comes Prosper, her student and 11 years younger who basically stalks his way into a relationship with her.
The intimate scenes were definitely spicy and well-written, but I didn’t feel like the novella gave enough room for real chemistry to develop. Did they actually like each other, or was it just pure sexual attraction? It very much felt like the latter.
As expected with books like this, there isn’t much to work with plot-wise. It’s your typical reverse age-gap romance where the MMC has a bit of a shady vibe. Maybe it’s because of the limited page count, but I just couldn’t connect with either character.
Overall, it’s a quick, steamy read—nothing more, nothing less.

talena ate when she wrote prosper shaker, he had me giggling and cheesing all through this read 😭🔥.
for this to be a teacher x student age gap romance, it was done extremely well. nothing about it seemed weird or icky like most books with large age gaps are.
ms.mosley had no choice but to fold cause prosper was notttt letting up. then he’s protecting her, treating her right, and applying pressure?! she ain’t wrong 😩.
the spice in this was good as well i give it a 10/10.
overall this was written really well. it was a good length, structured properly, and had me intrigued the entire time.

Kicking my feet in the air is an understatement — I loved this REAL BAD!
Ms. Mosley (Nia’Rose) is fresh out of an 8-year relationship, weighed down by pain and anger, when someone she least expects starts pursuing her… one of her students.
Prosper Shakur knows exactly what he wants …and that’s Ms. Mosley!
After trying to keep things professional, one fated night changes everything. Nia can’t fight the attraction or the pull she feels toward Prosper, and he wastes no time applying pressure to claim both her body and her heart.
The way he talks to her and gets her to respond to him… Whew 😮💨 I would’ve folded too!
One thing about Talena Tillman, she’s always gonna have you adding a new book bae to your roster. This novella was too GOOD!

Propser was CRAZY about Ms. Mosley.

Age ain’t nothing but a number…..
Prosper told Professor Mosley he CANNOT fight temptation any longer… he wants her and BAD! Ms. Mosley honestly didn’t stand a chance. Prosper did not care about the age gap, he knew what he wanted, his intentions, and was adamant in making Ms. Mosley his!

class in session!
I devoured this novella alongside my morning coffee 🍽️🔥 This was an age gap romance (11 years!) with that forbidden student/professor tension that had me hooked from page one. Folks been talking about them YNs and baby Prosper set the record straight—he came to learn, but chile… he put in that extra credit 👀📚
Prosper was a YN yet surprisingly mature—rough around the edges, still trying to channel his gangsta into something more. He wasn’t just about the streets—he knew how to flip the script and graduate summa cum laude in grown-man vibes. And let me tell you, Professor Ms. Mosley aka Nia’Rose tried to maintain boundaries, but once she graded that “homework,” it was time to flip the power dynamics and hand out a different kind of diploma. Short, sweet, and packed with spice that sneaks up on you, it flowed so effortlessly I didn’t want it to end. I’m already out here begging for Part 2 😩🙌🏾 … anybody tryna roll to TX, I’m tryna to see something 🤭.

This was such a pleasant surprise!
Even though it's a short read, the story felt complete. Nothing felt rushed, and I never felt like I was missing anything. Talena Tillman did a great job developing both the characters and the romance in a limited number of pages.
I really liked Prosper and Nia. Nia's concerns felt realistic and understandable, and I appreciated that the relationship between her and Prosper developed naturally. Their connection felt genuine, which made it easy to root for them.
One thing I always notice is when authors set stories in Houston. Since I'm from here, those details can sometimes make me cringe if they don't feel authentic. But Talena Tillman did a great job, and it added to the story instead of taking me out of it.
I really hope there's a second book because I'd love to spend more time with these characters. I'll definitely be checking out more from this author!

Good Quick Read
This book definitely pulls you in. It’s a great quick read that’ll keep you entertained.
Nia’Rose is a professor dealing with heartbreak and betrayal but who would ever think that one of her students could mend her heart?
Prosper was something else! He definitely makes my book boyfriend list. I love how he was respectful but also relentless in his pursuit of Nia. I love how he was clearly respectful to women in general. He was assertive and confident. He was everything!
I liked Nia as an FMC. Her concerns about their relationship were definitely valid.
When I got closer to the end, I was definitely like there has to be more. I wonder how their relationship wil work out in the long run. Will she fully accept what he does for a living. How will their peers and parents accept their relationship?
Good quick read. Fast paced but fun.

Short and sweet!!
Prosper and Nia have an awesome chemistry!
Ms Moseley is an age gap, professor student romance that is a sweet and spicy read. Prosper the MMC falls first for his professor, Ms Nia Mosley. Although Nia is wary about getting into a relationship with him, she is also quite attracted to him too. Prosper goes all out to show Nia that is a serious about her.
This was my first time reading a Talena Tillman story. It was well written with beautiful characters. I can’t wait to read more from her.

Aint no ‘the end for now’! I need the rest Maam.
It’s Prosper Alonso Shakur for meeeeee. A whole nut.
Poor Nia, she is too green for Propser. He over there turning her every which way but loose and she is losing her mind.
Nia, a fine college professor, fresh out of an 8 year relationship is doing her best to mend her broken heart when her student decides it’s time to apply pressure.

When I tell you Ms. Mosley had me clutching my Kindle like it was a student ID?! I typically don't like Age gap but BAYBEE 😮💨🔥. Nia’Rose Mosley is all about control in the classroom, but Prosper Shakur? That man walks in with bad boy energy and makes her question everything.
The tension is thick. The vibes are forbidden. And the way Prosper pushes her right to the edge mentally, emotionally, and physically? Yeah… he’s the kind of trouble you don’t want to avoid🤭

“Hey Siri…”
The playlist 🔥
The intro of both characters… 🤏🏾🤏🏾🤏🏾🤏🏾
Prosper was all gas, NO BRAKES. He said he gave her time before, but that was a WRAP after his declaration.
Side Note - I hope we get some insight on his homeboy that was in the club 🔫🔫
and the ex ol’ ridiculous self.
Nia’Rose, girl, you tried honey. It’s okay. Live your best life baby girl. 🤭🤭🤭
And I’m not really a pet person irl, but, I like Black 🐾
So….book two 🤔🧐

Prosper Shakur…A MAN
This story was short, good and spicy. I was left wanting more of these two characters. This was delulu in the best way. Even when he wasn’t with her that man was already claiming her. I was sitting like Lord it’s me again while reading. This is my first read by Talena but trust I’m on her now.

Hey There!
No spoilers but just know Prosper is truly wise beyond his age and hooks you in from the very beginning. A good quick read of an intentional MMC with BDE.
As a native Houstonian, I loved the way key elements of the story resembled our car culture, slang usage, and local spots. Another book bae loading…

ready for part 2
As i neared the end of the book i kept thinking there has to be more to this story. And lo and behold there will be! I enjoyed these two together though i was surprised Nia gave in so quickly. Prosper is about to take her on a ride. I like them together but he definitely has some maturing to do. Interested to see how their story unfolds.

This book though short and quick was amazing! I done fell in love with Prosper the mmc and alllll his hood tendencies. How he cares for her but keeps being himself. I also loved how she accepted him as he is but also pushing him to be better for himself not just for her. I hope to see the rest of their story.

Damn!! 🍆🍑🍆🍑
This is my 1st read by this author and I must say I will be checking out more of her books. This story had me locked in from the beginning. Prosper is sexy, a protector, a provider, handsome, hung, and did mention sexy. I already know if this man was in my world he could do no wrong in my eyes. He and His make suck the perfect couple.

Where is the ending?
This book was great, we got to the good part and there are so many questions. Did Prosper do the job he was asked to do? Did Nia Rose ever meet his T lady? Did she marry prosper? Did she have his baby? Did he go legit and open his businesses? Did Prosper meet Mr . Mosley? There are so many things left up in the air. Will there be a part 2?

Prosper and Nia
Ms Mosley is an age gap romance, not underage, just some adult years between them. Meet Prosper and Nia Rose, a professor and a student who can't be together because of that dynamic. Loved the storyline cant wait for book 2.

This book had me on my toes! I definitely need a part 2 because this book was too good. I love the chemistry they both had. What had me the most was the determination that prosper had for Nia. He was not willing to let anybody or anything get in his way.!!!!!!
