Twist Me: A Professor Student Forbidden Romance
A forbidden desire. An unethical experiment. I was supposed to study deviant minds, not lose myself to one.
For four years, Dr Braithwaite was the man I could only admire from across a lecture hall. He’s twice my age, the most respected academic on campus, and completely unattainable. I was convinced he would never see me as anything but a student.
Then he gave me a challenge I couldn’t refuse.
At the time, I told myself it was purely academic – a chance to learn, test theories, and disprove his claims about deviancy.
But somewhere between the rules and the research, between his lessons and my confessions, curiosity becomes obsession, and the boundaries continue to blur.
Every time I kneel before him, it’s easier to forget the mistakes I’ve buried, the secrets I still keep, and the past I want to leave behind. By the time I realise my mistake, it’s already too late.
Because the question is no longer how far he’ll push me…
It’s how quickly my past can destroy it all.

What a great sequel! The ex care depth that belt off of one was amazing. You ready to get to see who these characters are as a couple past more romantic side. It made everything fill bigger and fuller. A truly grate book 2

Well, the gloves are off. And, metaphorically speaking, so are quite a few other things. The continuing story of Ophelia and Dr. Braithwaite’s “experiment” takes things to a whole new level. This is no longer an academic, theoretical exercise. Ophelia is stepping fully into Dr. Braithwaite’s world and allowing him to shape her into someone she never imagined she’d become: his submissive. But while Ophelia is discovering this new side of herself, there’s been a definite shift in Dr. Braithwaite too. I found him a bit abrasive in the first book, but those sharp edges have softened considerably here. He’s more tender, more protective and, dare I say it, considerably more swoon-worthy. Now that he’s committed to Ophelia, he’s determined to explore a 24/7 D/s dynamic with her, although, naturally, their relationship has to remain a secret until she finishes her PhD. Ophelia, meanwhile, is still very much finding her feet. She’s learning the rules, discovering her boundaries and trying to work out exactly what she wants from this relationship. And hovering over everything is that constant fear of being discovered. And, frankly, Ophelia is a terrible liar, as evidenced by how quickly her brother discovers what is going on. As in the first book, the intimate scenes are intense. Dr. Braithwaite is not exactly known for taking the scenic route when it comes to pushing Ophelia’s boundaries, and there were definitely moments when I found myself wincing along with her. But what makes those scenes work for me is the growing trust between them. Watching Ophelia begin to understand herself, trust Dr. Braithwaite and work through some of the scars left by her previous abusive relationship was incredibly powerful. And this is where Dr. Braithwaite really won me over. There are moments when it’s impossible not to see how his skills as a psychologist translate into his role as a caring Dom. He is patient, perceptive and grounding when Ophelia needs him to be. He pushes her, yes, but he also pays attention. Communication and consent are woven throughout their relationship, and I really appreciated that. He’s not simply throwing her into the deep end and hoping she swims; he’s constantly checking in and making sure she’s okay. At the end of my last review, I said I wanted more of their relationship outside the bedroom, and Dina absolutely delivered. This story isn’t just about Dr. Braithwaite’s dominance in bed. It’s about how he supports Ophelia in the rest of her life, helps her confront her past and encourages her to grow into someone more confident in her own wants and desires. Of course, that doesn’t mean all Ophelia’s problems have magically disappeared. There are still plenty of doubts, fears and complications waiting in the wings, and I’m very curious to see what happens next. I think Twist Me (and indeed, the first book, Teach Me) would make great subject for book-club discussion a book-club perspective, particularly around the question of what we consider “deviant.” Who gets to decide what is acceptable? Is something inherently wrong simply because it falls outside societal norms, or is the real measure whether it exists between consenting adults who understand and respect each other’s boundaries? So yes, I have questions. I have thoughts. I also have a sneaking suspicion that Ophelia is going to continue questioning everything for quite some time. But if there’s one thing I’m willing to bet on, it’s that Dr. Braithwaite will be standing firmly by her side while she figures it all out. And honestly? I’m looking forward to watching him do exactly that.

If Teach Me was the spark, Twist Me is the wildfire.
This next installment drags Ophelia and Dr. Emmerson Braithwaite further into the labyrinth they built together. It’s one that is woven from intellect, power, and the kind of trust that feels both dangerous and addictive. Their connection doesn’t just intensify; it evolves into something far more deliberate, structured, and consuming.
Braithwaite sheds the last of his academic detachment here. He’s no longer simply the professor who challenged Ophelia’s worldview. He’s the man who now shapes it with intention. His guidance sharpens, his expectations deepen, and the authority he holds over her becomes a choice she makes with startling clarity. He’s still enigmatic, still unyielding, but now there’s a new layer: responsibility. Commitment. A willingness to lead her somewhere she’s finally ready to go.
Ophelia’s growth is nothing short of riveting. Her emotional arc twists through vulnerability, self‑reckoning, and a fierce desire to understand the structure of their bond. She steps into her agency with intention, learning how trust can be both terrifying and liberating.
Together, they push deeper into the psychological contours of their D/s dynamic. Focusing on communication, boundaries, accountability, and the emotional architecture of giving and receiving power. The tension is still electric, the stakes still feel high but what lingers most is the intimacy. The way they see each other. The way they change each other. The way their relationship becomes less about provocation and more about evolution.
Twist Me doesn’t just escalate the story; it complicates it in the best ways. It’s a study in devotion, control, and the kind of connection that refuses to stay neatly contained. A chaotic, addictive continuation that proves Ophelia and Braithwaite are nowhere near finished unraveling each other.
A huge thank you to Dina Hawthorn and Book Sirens for the early copy. I’m already bracing myself for whatever these two decide to dismantle next.

Whew!! Well, that escalated quickly!! 🔥
Twist Me is the next instalment following book one, Teach Me, where we first met Ophelia and Dr. Braithwaite as student and professor. Definitely read book one first, because it sets up this enigmatic pair and makes everything that follows so much more interesting.
Twist Me follows Ophelia and Emerson’s relationship as their dynamic begins to shift. Emerson steps away from her academically, but things definitely move forward physically. Ophelia fully commits to their Dom/Sub relationship, handing control over to Emerson in all aspects.
He sets challenges for her, and Ophelia meets them head-on. This is where we really start to see the psychologist in Emerson come through. He knows exactly what he’s doing and, more importantly, what he’s trying to push Ophelia towards — even if neither Ophelia nor the reader has the full picture yet.
It feels like Emerson is slowly forcing her to confront something from her past. He wants her to see who she really is underneath the block she has built around herself, and watching this begin to come to light is fascinating.
While Ophelia is growing, learning and challenging some of the preconceived ideas she has stubbornly held onto, we also get to see a much softer side of Emerson. His protectiveness of Ophelia becomes increasingly apparent, and I really enjoyed seeing this different side to him emerge.
And the spice… 🥵
Twist Me is hot as hell and then some. It is VERY high up on the spice rack, and honestly, if you’re looking for a book that brings the heat while still giving you plenty of character development and psychological depth, this one delivers.
Bring on book three! 🔥

Ophelia started out letting Dr. Braithwaite “help” with her thesis on deviant minds—until it stopped being academic and started feeling secretive, taboo, and dangerously personal. He pried open parts of herself she didn’t even realize were waiting there, and once he got close, she couldn’t pretend she wasn’t completely hooked.
This book leans hard into a new D/s dynamic, watching Ophelia learn the rules, the tension, and the surrender scene after scene where the chemistry turns up so hot it’s almost unfair. The intimacy is detailed, intense, and very much for readers who like their romance with heat. And because she’s carrying the damage from a prior relationship, she has to navigate real emotional aftershocks along the way. The Dr is steady, patient, and genuinely skilled at helping her process what happened, so the story builds toward something that feels not just thrilling, but also healing.
Ophelia’s also anxious about how her family will react to her being with him, but he doesn’t just dismiss her worries - he coaches her, grounds her, and comforts her when her nerves get loud. It’s a sweet story in a dark-ish, kink-forward way, and honestly, the two of them just fit together perfectly. I’m absolutely obsessed and I can’t wait for the next book.

Twist Me is Book 2 in the Deviant Players series. I received an ARC of this book without additional expectations. I gave this book 4 stars for just one reason and honestly, others might not find this an issue. I hit a preference glitch. I found Ophelia’s internal self-talk repetitive and a bit obnoxious. The odd part is that wasn’t an issue in Teach Me. This book is wonderful and left me wanting more of Emerson and Ophelia’s adventures. This series is into some kinks that stretch me in odd directions… which is why I am liking these two characters. I was able to sit and see the movie playing in my head like a voyeur in a club might. Dina Hawthorn did an incredible job of bringing this taboo couple to the edge and back repeatedly… excitement, angst, compassion and weirdly lots of consent (which is good) in places you might find a shift to dub con. So read at your own leisure….not at work or when you have just a few minutes. It is a page turner for all the right reasons. If you haven’t read Teach Me do yourself a favor and go back and start there. You will be glad.

This book picks up directly where Teach Me left off. Ophelia and Dr. Braithwaite are starting to explore a real relationship and Dr. Braithwaite continues his teachings of their dom/sub dynamic. We also learn more about Ophelia and her family background.
I had a really good time with this. It’s very spicy and I loved Dr. Braithwaite teaching Ophelia how to be his sub. It’s respectful, and while he is pushing her, he is not crossing any boundaries and checking constantly that she is okay.
This book leaves open ended and we get teased with a future confrontation with Ophelia’s abusive ex and of course, the secret, forbidden element of the student/teacher relationship looms over them and I expect this to be picked up in the future.
Thank you, Dina Hawthorn, for the ARC.

Twist Me – Deviant Players: Book 2
A Professor Student Forbidden Romance
Author: Dina Hawthorn
Released: Jul 30, 2026
Genre: BDSM Romance
Tropes: Age-Gap, Academia, Dom/Sub, Professor/Student
This was a quick & spicy read about the world of BDSM. It delves deeper into dom/slave/submissive relationships. The scenes in book 2 stepped it up from Book 1. The character and settings are well described. The FMC Ophelia still has major trust issues, and her character makes me want to reach though the pages and give her a shake. The trip to Paris was chef’s kiss. The ending is a bit of a cliffhanger but not enough to enjoy the reading book 1 & 2 now. Was so great to have Dan back in the mix and the intro of some new players!
Triggers: I don’t have any but if you do, be good to yourself and make sure this one is for you.

So, after reading the first contact between Professor Dom and student Ophelia, we get to this part where she is about to learn more about being a sub.
The main plot around the story is interesting and I think that the pace of how things are getting a new level is good, it makes you feel the anxiety from Ophelia at some overwhelming situations, and at the same time... that specific situation named Mark... dear God, even I was panting whilst reading their interactions.
This part as a book 2 was basically Ophelia getting some new friends (iykyk) and how her relationship with Emerson is evolving.
Now, for the next part, I think that's were the drama begins... and for me? Gimmie some drama, a sexy dom and his friends and you already got me at your service... so, bring the 3rd part asap, please!

This is the second book in a series, and you should definitely read the first book (Teach Me) first. We dive right in where we left off, seeing how things progress with Olivia and Dr. Braithwaite's "experiment." Dr. Braithwaite is ready to pursue a 24/7 D/s dynamic with Olivia, and she's up to the challenge.
The chemistry and spice are great, but most of all I enjoyed the exploration of the complex emotions that go into a dynamic like this and how they challenge society's norms. I find the thesis aspect a little artificial, but it does set us up to compare what we're taught growing up with the realities of how BDSM and D/s in particular can challenge someone and make them grow and find themselves. Overall this was so enjoyable, and I want more.

The relationship between the professor and the student has become personal. Dr Braithwaite is leading Ophelia into her journey with BDSM. Braithwaite wants to show her what a true Dom/Sub relationship can be like. The ultimate goal is for the Sub to give up control to her Dom, to place her trust into his hands, in the knowledge that he has all her emotional, mental, sexual, and physical well-being met.
Ophelia is on a learning curve, one she sometimes stumbles along because of past hurt blinding her. But Braithwaite is patient, kind, and knows exactly when to step back and when to challenge her. Boundaries, dynamics, and communication are key.

I am truly enjoying learning more about Ophelia and her traumatic past as well as the tenderness exhibited by Dr. Brathwaite.

This book carried on with the developing D/S relationship between Dr Braithwaite and Ophelia. The scenes we encounter throughout the book are blazing hot at times! I enjoyed seeing him really step into the Dom role and show that it isn't simply about using power to dominate her, but to help her grow & support her. Ophelia's character had so much growth, it was wonderful to see! That being said, she still has issues that need to be worked through. I cannot wait to see what the 3rd book in the series will bring!

I’ve just finished reading this book and I am stunned. I didn’t think Twist Me could be better than Teach Me, but it definitely is. It’s hotter and even more detailed. I was riveted from the beginning and didn’t want the story to end. I love how Emerson cared for Ophelia and did all he could to make her feel safe through every aspect of their BDSM relationship. I liked the return of Dan and the addition of Mark. It’s safe to say Ophelia has many admirers. I’m so happy to learn that there is a third book coming and I hope Ophelia opens up more to Emerson. Five stars! I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily
Review of advance copy received from Author
Picking up right where Teach Me left off we learn more about Ophelia and her would be Dom. Another quick and spicy read about a good girl learning about the world of BDSM. Ophelia is still convinced that she's not a deviant and is trying her best to hold onto that, and her thesis. But Ophelia still doesn't trust Dr. Braithwaite; she's not sure what he actually wants. As he spoils her and introduces her to the Dom/sub roles, their relationship evolves. Can't wait to see how book 3 brings this all together.
August 7, 2026
This book is HOT. Ophelia is still working on the thesis, but Dr Braithwaite isn't sure she understands what deviant actually is and that it isn't always bad. Dr Braithwaite is showing her different behaviors that some might call deviant and others might call extreme pleasure. The situations Ophelia is in, setup by Dr Braithwaite are HOT - this book is full of HOT and the plot continues to move along in book 2. Ophelia is working becoming Dr Braithwaite's sub - I think she's ready he's not convinced yet. Can't wait for book 3.
August 17, 2026
The spicy scenes are pretty spicy and original and fun. I really like reading books that are different than the usual romance book (as most romance novels I read seem to have the usual formula of how spicy scenes are supposed to go). So I find it refreshing when I read something different and this book does provide that. It is well written and hot.

This is the second book in the Deviant Players trilogy & they must be read in order. Dr Braithwaite has a new experiment for Ophelia, if she is willing. I enjoyed the spice & the way their relationship is developing deeper for both of them. Ophelia’s family (love her brothers!) is included and her past is mentioned again, with threatening overtones but I think the majority of it will happen in book 3. Looking forward to what’s ahead in the final book.

Are you ready for Book 2 in the Deviant Players series?
"Professor Student Forbidden Romance!" I couldn't not read!
Believe me, I definitely had some crushes on some of my teachers!
Though I never acted on any of them!
That's what fantasizing is all about right!?
This story definitely had me squirming!
Emerson...just wow!

This continues Ophelia's journey into sexual submission both with Emerson and additional players. There is still plenty of action and intensity but it feels more of a filler before we get to a conclusion.
The plot is still well crafted to make a thoroughly entertaining read.

A quick and spicy read. Professor/ student. Cliffhanger. This does follow book one so you will need to have read that one. This one deals with the FMCs trust issues more and a beautiful trip to Paris. And I love a man that checks in. Excited for the next one. Please check your triggers.

Another amazing story from an incredible author! I love reading these spicy stories! The characters are so amazingly written! So many different emotions as I read it!
Review of advance copy
Ophelia first allowed Dr Braithwaite to help her with her thesis on deviant minds, but it became something secretive and taboo. He opened up things she never knew about herself, and she found herself entranced.
This book was about their new D/s type relationship, with Ophelia learning their new dynamic. The spicy scenes were detailed and super hot! But because of her prior relationship, she had to navigate the damage her ex had done. The Dr was so good at helping her move past what happened, and they were able to move forward.
Ophelia was nervous about her family and what they would think about her being him but he also coached her through that and comforted her worries. This is such a sweet story (in a dark ish romance type of way) and I thought that the two of them were fabulous together. I can't wait for the next book!
