The professor's giving extra lessons after class...
Delilah: All I wanted was to learn all I could about the writing and publishing process before I tried to wade into the book writing business. That's how I wound up here, in an advanced literary class, staring at my professor's stupid sexy glasses while he talked in that ridiculously sexy deep voice. Sure, I'm getting the best grade in the class, but that doesn't mean I won't stay after class for some extra credit. Brownie points with a hot professor never hurt, right? Even if he won't look my way, it's nice to dream.
Johnathan: I love my job, and I love all my students- okay, maybe not the ones that don't show up to class, but still. I'm content with my life...except for the fact that I literally can't take my eyes off of one of my students- Delilah. Sure, we're only a few years apart, but it doesn't make me feel less like an old lecher when I catch myself being drawn to her. She's charming and intelligent, and we have so much in common. I know that she's interested, but it wouldn't be right- not for her, and not for my career. So why can't I stop staring into her lovely green eyes?
I love teacher/student stories. However, the character development was weak.
The book starts with Jonathan and Delilah already in class, Delilah is already flirting with Jonathan and he explains in inner dialogue that they have been flirting for awhile. Then they exchange a few words and immediately the hero goes on about his roommate, a woman who he has been friends with since college, Solona. I am not sure if they were lovers before or strictly friends. There was so much useless dialogue between Solona and the hero that I almost thought Solona was the heroine. It all felt weird. I am not sure if they were ex-lovers.
Also, I am not sure if the hero is bisexual. Solona and Jonathan are talking about the type of people they are both attracted to and Solona says to Jonathan "Because you've done this before, with other men and women you've been attracted to." (Loc 13%) Things would be said but not explained which was frustrating.
It would have been better if the author showed the initial meeting (i.e. the first day that the hero and heroine met) and less with Solona. The story is short so the focus should have been on what was important and not the roommate.
This may work for you, but it did not work for me.
I have no idea what I was reading.... Was the male MC supposed to be named Aiden? I am confused....In one line the author calls him by one name and the other another.
Also, not that it matters much to me, but is the Male MC into guys and girls? I feel like the author did not even bother to explain or give some type of background on any of the characters. No development at all.
I got to read this via my Amazon kindle unlimited account and I was interested in it based on the cover and description. I honestly thought it'd be better though. I was hoping to see a romance brew, but it turned out to be more of a sexual relationship than romantic. The story line flew by pretty quickly considering it happened over a 24 hour period, and it was such a cliché for them to be stuck together, which, of course, caused them to act on feelings. There were a few strange instances too when the author called both Delilah and Johnathon by the name Aidan? I'm not sure how that name got thrown in there, but I saw it at least 3 times. "'Yeah' Aidan said again.." And "..he lowered his hand to squeeze Aidan's rear." for example
