When duty collides with obsession, nothing is safe
Agatha never asked to be a student at Nightbrook Academy. At thirty six, her late awakening to magic left her stranded among teenagers and trapped under the Council’s watch. Her one distraction is her professor, Artemis, a man of sharp intellect, commanding presence, and eyes that keep too many secrets.
Their connection begins with teasing sparks in the classroom, her boldness pressing against his restraint. She flirts, he resists, and tension builds until it finally snaps under the pull of the full moon. What follows is raw and forbidden, a passion that refuses to be denied.
As secret nights unfold, Agatha shifts from outsider to determined woman who won’t stop chasing what she wants. Artemis battles the beast inside him, torn between control and instinct. Their bond is intoxicating, dangerous, and impossible to ignore.
It’s steamy, forbidden, and charged with primal heat, blending student-teacher tension with werewolf obsession. At its core, it’s about desire that can’t be contained, power that shifts, and a connection that’s as wild as the night.
The attractive Professor Artemis Wolfbane caught everyone’s attention as soon as he entered the classroom. But Agatha Ravenscroft wasn't listening to his words, instead intensely looking at him. So when he suddenly asked her to “demonstrate for the class”, she had no idea what he was talking about! Her magic had shown up 20 years later than expected and, because it was hazardous when not able to be controlled, she was sent to Nightbrook Academy for Magical Teens where she would remain until she could control her magic. She had already been here for 6 years. So her professor asked her to see him after class when she confesses that she had not paid attention. This was the third time this week she disrupted his class with her inappropriate comments. She told him she intended to continue doing this until he acknowledged their attraction. Agatha is 36 and no one else is appropriate for her. She is not permitted to leave the school. So she intends to continue flirting.
She returned to the garden shed the headmistress had assigned to her when she refused to sleep among dozens of giggling teens. She heard a wolf’s howl in the forest… not unusual, yet it seemed to be closer tonight. She was aware that some werewolves kept their human consciousness when they shifted, while others simply became beasts. Which was Professor Wolfbane? Instead of using a protection charm, she opened her shed door and saw the werewolf, at last allowing him to come inside as he began to nip at her skin. Even when she became pregnant, she continued going to his class. But will he continue to be hers when the full moon rises?
Agatha isn’t your typical heroine, and that’s exactly why I loved her. She’s thirty-six, awakening to magic in a world built for the young, tossed into a school where she doesn’t fit, doesn't want to be, and can’t escape. Her isolation felt real. Familiar, even. She’s bold but vulnerable, a woman grasping for agency in a world that wants her tame.
Then there’s Artemis—God, where do I begin? The man is brooding intellect wrapped in mystery, a professor bound by rules and centuries of practiced restraint. And Agatha, gloriously inappropriate, pokes and pushes at those boundaries with every sidelong glance. Their chemistry isn’t cute—it’s electric. It’s agonizing. It’s inevitable.
When the dam finally breaks, it’s not sweet. It’s feral. And that felt honest in a way I didn’t expect. The rawness of their connection, the way Artemis fights himself and still gives in, felt like watching someone step into the eye of their own storm. And Agatha—finally, finally—becomes something more than the out-of-place student. She becomes powerful. Unapologetic. Desiring and desired.
If you’re looking for something that walks the razor’s edge between romance, eroticism, and self-discovery—this book howls. And it leaves claw marks.

***This review is for the book AND audiobook*** Artemis Wolfbane was a professor at Nightbrook Academy for Magical Teens. Artemis was careful to maintain boundaries with his students. Agatha Ravenscroft was one of his students, but she wasn’t a typical student. She was 36 years old and her magic manifested late, so she was confined to the academy for six years. Agatha fancied Artemis and tried repeatedly to get him to sleep with her, including acting out in class to get his attention. I liked that this wasn’t a typical werewolf story. This version has the MMC remain in his werewolf form when they have smexxy times.
The narrator was the author, and she did an okay job. Steam really should hire a professional to narrate for her. I found the audio quality (clearness of sound) to be excellent, but a professional narrator would have made the book more enjoyable. Overall, I enjoyed this sometimes funny/sometimes serious story. It was explicit and more smut than story. Great for when you want something light and silly. I recommend it for readers who like hot wolf smut.
1,4 von 5 Sternen Ok, was habe ich erwartet? Das ganze war einfach schrecklich und wie die Hörbuchfassung es überhaupt auf Storytel geschafft hat, ist mir ein Rätsel. Das ganze wird so merkwürdig vorgelesen. Es hört sich an als ob jemand der taubstumm ist, dass ganz vorliest. Ganz merkwürdig, ich denke mal eine billige KI. Die Story ist genauso unangenehm, wie es der Titel schon vermuten lässt. Es gibt einfach überhaupt keine Story, die Charaktere haben null Tiefe. Ist natürlich bei so einem Format auch nicht zu erwarten. Aber ich habe schon kurze erotische Geschichten gelesen, wo die erotische Szene auf die es eben hinausläuft trotzdem gut eingeleitet wird. Das ist hier nicht der Fall. Emotionen sucht man hier auch vergeblich. Die erotische Szene ist ebenfalls emotionslos und langweilig.
This was exactly what I thought it would be—quick, spicy, and a little ridiculous in the best way. The whole “werewolf professor” angle is fun and definitely leans into the forbidden fantasy side of things. If you’re picking this up for the heat, you’ll get plenty of that.
That being said, there isn’t much plot or character development here. It’s more about the fantasy than the story, so if you’re looking for depth or world-building, you probably won’t find it. Still, it was entertaining for what it was and a fun guilty-pleasure read.

Agatha was thirty-six years old, confined to Nightbrook Academy for Magical Teens, because her uncontrolled magic abilities showed up twenty years too late. She has her eyes on Professor Artemis Wolfbane, who refuses all of her advances. One night, to her surprise, Artemis appeared in his werewolf form, and she let him in. Werewolf Artemis took full advantage of Agatha's offerings.

Beautifully written very fast read. One smex scene on page, hinted at multiple off-page. Characters are easy to accept, FMC is out for her man no matter what; paranormal academy setting – good world-building. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review. I like these quick reads, it’s like a snapshot into someone else’s life, written in a way that makes this seem perfectly normal.
Kinda hot. Kinda strange. I love that Agatha is actually age appropriate and not some 19 year old virgin. I’m confused as to how I feel about the other pieces! 😂 Do they only have get together when the Professor is in his wolf form? Why did Agatha come into her powers so late? I want to know more about this school. I would read more about these characters as well as others from the school if they were to be written.

Agatha was sent to the Nightbrook Academy for Magical Teens at age thirty-six because her magic didn't appear until then. Now she's stuck at school with a bunch of immature teens, and her professor is all she wants. Artemis remains entirely professional despite all of Agatha's attempts to tempt him. That's about to change. This is a quick escape read with five-star heat. It's a fun, hot read.

I really enjoyed the concept of this short story. But, it is a really short story, I wish this was a novel, I would devour this. I love the tropes, age-gap, tutor/student, breeding kinks. Maybe there will be more in future, if so, I'm looking forward to reading it x.

This is a fun spicy quick read. Agatha wants her Werewolf Professor. He rejects her until he can't resist her any longer. I enjoyed this hot, spicy read very much and look forward to the next book by Beatrix. These stories do not disappoint.
Agatha has the hots for Professor Wolfbane, and being 35 and in his class makes this my favorite student/professor romance! Oh boy does he make an entrance. Perfect short read to add some spice to your lunch break.

Beatrix Steam just keeps on delivering! The denial, the heat, the I won't give up until I have him vibes are off the charts! Werewolf smut at its best!.

This was different. There is more animal action than I expected. Written as super erotic, one almost forgets the species involved. For the FMC, determination gets her what she wants but can she keep it?
