The Professor's Student
The professor becomes the student, and the subject is submission…
Six weeks in Ireland on a Bronze Age archeological dig is exactly what Josie Cooper needs. She loves teaching, but fieldwork is where her heart is, and working with Professor Declan O’Shaghnessy is a dream come true...until she meets the man. Declan is brilliant, gorgeous, and unapologetically arrogant. By the end of the first week, Josie is ready to push him into the Atlantic. Unfortunately, annoyance doesn’t stop her physical reaction to him. Nor does it stop the way every accidental touch between them makes her crave more. More of his hands on her skin. More of his lilting voice in her ear.
Knowing Josephine Cooper’s reputation in the archeology world, Declan was thrilled that she’d accepted his invitation to work the dig. However, he hadn’t counted on his overwhelming attraction to the American professor. Though he tries to maintain his distance and keep things professional between them, that plan goes to hell when he learns that Josephine returns his interest. And when an opportunity to act on that attraction, as well as explore her submission, presents itself, he jumps at it—taking complete control.
For the next five weeks, Josie agrees to submit to Declan. His instruction awakens needs she didn’t know she possessed, and she learns more about desire and herself than she would have thought possible. But what happens when their time is over, and Josie has to give up being his student to go back to being the professor again?

I had so much fun narrating this. There's a lot of quirky characters, Irish accents, passion, and a great setting. What's not to enjoy?

The Professor’s student is one of the best stories I have read all year. Bronwyn Green has a gift to weaving a beautiful story that will not only suck you into the pages but leave you wanting more. Declan O’Shaughnessy and Josie Cooper are two colleagues working on an archaeological dig site in Ireland who discover, after one night of too much whiskey, they are attracted to each other. Let’s start by saying Declan O’Shaughnessy is literally drool worthy from his confident attitude down to his Irish accent. I could close my eyes and hear this man speak in my head. Josie is an independent, strong willed woman who is not afraid to take chances. The chemistry is hot, steamy and kinky in this must read BDSM romance.

This was as good in audible as it was to read. HOT! Sizzling! The narrator was quite good. I didn't even feel icky when she whispered, "Open for me" in the lovely, deep Irish lilt she adopted for Declan's voice. Nicely done!

Audio review. This is a great book. The narrator has a fantastic accent! And the story is hot and sexy. It starts off exciting right from the get go and doesn’t stop!

Wow!!!
There's so much heat between Declan and Josie I finished the audio in one day!! Once I started this story, I wasn't able to stop until I got to the end.
Declan and Josie were a perfect match. This book had a ton of heat and only a little bit of angst. I loved the chemistry between Declan and Josie. Josie is smart, strong, and a force to be reckoned with. I love strong female leads and Josie is definitely that.
I'm loving this series and I can't wait to read more!

Once again, I’m excited to have the opportunity to listen to a book from one of my favorite series: Bound by Bronwyn Green and Jessica Jarman. This time around, I’m listening to the third book, The Professor’s Student by Ms. Green. The story centers around Professor Josie Green, an American archeology professor, who is on a six week summer dig in Ireland, at Professor Declan O’Shaughnessy’s site. The pair have instant chemistry and engaging in a monogamous D/s relationship for the duration of her stay.
When I initially read and reviewed the book I wrote:
The Professor’s Student falls well within the erotic romance genre, with a focus more in the bedroom and less out of it. I really like Declan and Josie, and their play is sexy, fun, and just plain hot. Ms. Green is a master at crafting sexy, sensual scenes. While I missed some of the more emotional moments that I enjoyed in [the previous Bound stories], I still found The Professor’s Student a wonderful read and a perfect low-conflict, “getaway” story.
As for the storyline, my feelings haven’t changed. I really enjoyed the story, and I continued to feel like the book is more passion and eroticism than love. Josie and Declan spend much of their time apart or only in the bedroom, and I wanted to be shown not told that they bonded on a deeper level.
With that said, Tatiana Sokolov’s performance added a lot of value to my overall enjoyment of the story. Ms. Sokolov’s narrative voice, which is close to if not the same as Josie’s voice, is easy and fitting. Her Irish accented male voice for Declan is superb. I was extremely impressed with constancy and tone of narration throughout the book. Ms. Sokolov brings a lot of emotion - Josie’s embarrassment and shy desire, as well as Declan’s dominating nature - into her performance.
In the end, I enjoyed my “reread” of The Professor’s Student and found that I liked it a bit more the second time around. Ms. Sokolov adds much to the story with her performance.

June 8, 2015
Josie Green, an American archeology professor, is on a six week summer dig in Ireland, at Professor Declan O’Shaughnessy’s site. While Josie finds Declan utterly attractive, she thinks he is a perfectionist jerk. However, after a night of drinking too much, Josie lets Declan know just how much she wants him, and the pair begins a D/s relationship, intending to end once Josie leaves Ireland.
The Professor’s Student is an erotic and highly sexual romance. While the pair doesn’t spend all of their time in the bedroom, the sex is the primary focus of the book, more so than either of the previous Bound stories. The initial scenes are passionate and lust-filled, and it's all about the sex.
Once Declan realizes that he enjoys having a partner who is equally as interested in his digs and finds as he is, the pair spends some quality moments becoming more than lovers. However, the book jumps forward in time so often, that there is little room for the reader to see the whole relationship come together. Yet, with that said, I did have a couple tears in my eyes and was filled with emotion when Josie headed back home once the dig is over.

Again, I absolutely loved the narration by Ms. Sokolov. The Irish brogue that was varied between characters was nicely contrasted with Josie's American accent. I felt as if I was in Ireland. Though I enjoyed the romantic journey between Declan and Josie, their bedroom activities were a little more intense than the previous novels which was a bit disconcerting to me. However, it was done well and handled with all consents and emotion that conveyed the passion behind it all. Though the balance of the story felt a bit off, I still liked it and look forward to reading more in the series.

Not what I expected, but I still kinda liked it. However, toward the end I began to lose interest, which is very unusual for me. The new house was a nice ending, but the length of the epilogue I found to be a bit unnecessary.
