Can this older professor quell the temptations of his curvy art student?

Raven
Moving to the Springs for college meant new experiences.
Experiences I wouldn’t have in my small mountain town.
But I wasn’t expecting to fall for my professor.
He’s tall, rugged, inked and doesn’t look anything like the older art teacher I was expecting.
There’s three weeks left of the semester.
I need to resist him… but I’m not sure I can.

Gage
I’ve worked at this university for the better part of twenty years.
Never once have I found interest in a student... until Raven.
She’s shy, sweet, curvy, smart, and incredibly talented.
I can’t fall for her. It’s not right.
But when she decides to pose nearly nude as the classroom muse for a final project, all bets are off.
Right or wrong, this mountain girl will be mine.


Dear Readers,
This is a super steamy, curvy girl, age gap romance. As always, this title comes with Khloe's 'Easy Escape Seal'. A no cheating, no cliff hanger, HEA guarantee.

Awesome Love Story . . .

This was a well-written, sweet story that moves at the perfect pace to put the reader in the right mindset for accepting Gage and Raven falling in love. She is a shy, sweet girl. He is a man who admires her qualities and realizes that despite how much he would love a relationship, he won’t interfere with her future.

Raven Baxter has spent her entire college experience studying and concentrating on classes. Her cousin talked her into a wild idea of posing semi-nude for her art class, just so she had one wild experience to remember with graduation 3 weeks away. She made it through that first phase because Professor Hill had left the room. He returned as she was finishing up and told her she would need to do this again the next day so the others could complete their project for a grade. She isn’t sure she can do it again, until she thinks that this is her last chance to let him know how she feels. Will he admit his own feelings? Is a future possible for the two of them? And will his new job make that impossible?

College student Raven (h) decides to push her boundaries and poses semi-nude for her art class, in hopes of drawing the attention of her professor, Gage (H+20). The pair are secretly drawn to one another and things get hot and steamy between the two in his office, though their future may be in jeopardy when the dean overhears their rambunctious activities. Sweet age gap romantic quickie with a side of heat. Fun start to the series.

Pretty good, but I couldn’t get over the fact that the main characters name was Raven Baxter. My Disney fan heart thought that was weird.

WOW!! I absolutely love it!! I couldn't put this one down. This was a nice quick, short read.

Gage and Raven meet at a university in Colorado Springs, he's a professor and she's a student. She attends his class and sits in the back of the room everyday. He can't stop thinking about her, when she volunteers to pose for the other students to draw her Gage isn't in the room, he excused himself. Raven is trying to do something exciting before her college days are done in three weeks. When Gage comes back he can't believe she volunteered to do this. Before she leaves he has to tell her there's a good chance she's going to have to pose tomorrow so that her classmates can finish their project. Gage heads to the bar and finishes his drawing of her, he has several of them. He gets a phone call from Raven's uncle Maddox, Broken: Rugged Mountain Ink he applied to work at Rugged Mountain Ink when this semester is over, he wants a change. Maddox is hoping Gage can come earlier, but he tells him he'll be there as soon as the semester is over. Raven's parents, Henry and Cami, Restless keep calling her but she doesn't want to call them back, she know her mom will her it in her voice that's something is off. When she finally call them they are just so happy to have her call, they want to know if she'll be home for her birthday, they planned a big party for her. When she calls her cousin Addie she can hear it in Raven's voice something is off, and she guesses about her professor. Raven tells. Addie nothing has happened, but she'll let her know. When Raven walks into class Gage tries to ignore her, he excuses himself to go do some paperwork in his office, but he gets himself off just thinking of her. When class is over Raven comes to find Gage she wants to know if she did something wrong, he tells her no, it's him. She thinks he doesn't like the look of her body, but he tells her no it's not that, she's beautiful. Seeing her did things to him he couldn't control. They start kissing, she tells him she wants him, he tells her he wants her and if she doesn't want this she needs to tell him he can't control himself around her. They are loud in his office and soon a knock comes on his door, the dean asks him what is going on and why is his door locked. Gage and Raven dress quickly then he points to the couch for her to sit. When he opens the door, Raven rushes out, the dean needs to talk to Gage. Raven calls Addie to tell her what happened in her professor's office and that the dean came in, she's not sure what will happen, soon she gets a text and it's Gage he want to meet her. Raven show up early watching the other college kids, when Gage comes he tells her it had nothing to do about her. He tells her he's leaving the university at the end of the semester, he already took a job at a tattoo parlor. Raven is confused because the place he describes sounds like her dad and Uncle Maddox's parlor. He tells her if she doesn't want to go with him he'll finds something else. When he tells her it's at Rugged Mountain Ink, all blood drains from her face, she can't believe it, she feels sick, then she tells him it's her father's shop. Raven stays away for a whole week, she doesn't come to class and Gage is worried about her but wants to give her some time. He's working on his drawing of her when she comes to his office, she tells him about the physic reading her mother had about a man with a tattoo on his arm of a shipwreck and a broken mass who would be obsessed with her. She rubs her hand over the tattoo, she tells him she's obsessed with him, he tells her he wants her but the physic was right he's obsessed with her. She tells him she loves him and he tells her he loves her too. Raven tells Gage she wants him, so he lays her over the desk and they are so loud, soon the dean is knocking on the door. The dean asks what is going on in there, but Raven begs him to come, then he does, Raven tells Gage the dean know what they are doing. Soon the dean is knocking again telling them to open the door, she can hear them. When Gage opens the door the dean tells them both she could punishes them both, she won't, but she tells Gage he can no longer teach, if she finds out he does she'll release the tape. Two week later they head back to Rugged Mountain, when they pull up to her parents home it's parked full of cars. Her dad is standing on the porch not taking his eyes off of Gage. They get out and Raven hugs her father, Henry tells him he didn't expect the next time he seen him he'd be with his daughter. Henry tells them he know he's was her professor, it was on his Resume, so Gage tells him he's in love with his daughter and not going to lie to him. They didn't mean for it to happen, Cami steps out and asks if this is the shipwreck guy, Raven tells her mom they're in love. Gage promises Raven's parents, that he's going to love Raven, take care of her, he'll built her a cabin, and live out their days on the mountain, he wants to marry her and have babies with her, he'll never stop loving her. Gage tells Cami why he got the shipwreck tattoo, and now he's obsessed with their daughter. Henry tells Gage he better not ever hurt his daughter. Addie comes out and introduces herself to Gage. Then they all head inside to have Raven's birthday party. One year later, they are married and Raven is seven months pregnant, they're having a daughter they want to name, Sienna.

It's the next generation in the world of Rugged Mountain Ink, and Khloe Summers kicks off the Filthy, Dirty, Small-Town Sweetness sequel series with Obsessed. Henry and Cami's daughter Raven is all grown up a about to graduate from college, a trained artist. The first time Raven moves out of her comfort zone - by volunteering to model nude (yet covered) for her art class sets off a life-changing chain of events. She's had a crush on her professor, the bearded and tatted up Gage Hill, who is twenty years older than her, from the very first class - and now she discovers that there is a mutual obsession. Gage is absolutely swoon-worthy, and Raven an authentic and relatable heroine. Their chemistry may very well melt your e-reader.

I loved every book in the Rugged Mountain Ink series, and if Obsessed is any indication, the new generation is going to be just as good, if not better.

She is his dirty little secret

Obsessed is the first book in the new Rugged Mountain Ink (Filthy, Dirty, Small-Town Sweetness) series which finds the kids of the original Rugged Mountain Ink series finding their own love stories. This book is about Raven Baxter, the oldest of Cami and Henry from Restless, who has three weeks until she graduates from college. She finds herself never having done anything wild and crazy during her four years away. So she decides on a whim to pose for her art class, naked except for a sheet. Professor Gage Hill is an art teacher at the college and Raven's teacher this last semester. When he first set eyes on the beauty sitting in the back of the room he was intrigued and attracted to her. But she is his student and he cannot go there. So when she decides to pose for the class he has to get away or he fears he will dismiss the class and ravage her. Gage has decided that he needs a change from teaching and as he used to do tattooing to help put himself through school he decides to take a job at a well known tattoo studio in a small mountain town. It seems that Raven and Gage are about to find themselves tangled up as the fates have a plan for them.
I really loved this first book in the next generation of Rugged Mountain Ink world. This age-gap, forbidden romance is a charming and entertaining book and one that I would definitely RECOMMEND.

Khloe Summers really bring the heat to this age gap romance!! The characters are instantly lovable. The story is taboo and forbidden. The heat is Kindle meltingly hot. The writing is impeccable. The ending is all I could have wanted and then some.

Gage is a swoon worthy older man and Raven’s art professor. She’s had a crush on him all semester and with only 3 weeks left before graduation she decides to get a bit naughty. She poses for the class wearing nothing but a sheet. I loved how this book described Gage’s attempts to keep his attraction under wraps and how it used his art talents to depict his obsession of her. Once he realizes she’s interested as well there is no containing his obsession. I really enjoyed the twist in the story concerning their plans for after her graduation and how her family plays a part in things. Overall an absolutely fantastic read that I highly recommend reading. I can’t wait to see what comes next in this series.

For when you need all your boxes checked in a short amount of time

Raven is getting ready to graduate college, and with nothing but a degree to show for it. She wants one last memory to be able to say she did something crazy in her college years. The idea to pose nude for her art class comes to mind and she runs for it. She seems to grab everyone's attention, including her art professor, the one man she shouldn't want but cant seem to help herself.

Professor Hill has kept his cool all year long. Kept his distance from the one person who cant seem to escape his mind. He couldn't possibly act on his obsession with his student. He can make it the last 3 weeks of school. Until he walks into class with her posed nude for the class. His will power wins over and his obsession grows.

Such a fun, fast and hot read. Raven was everyone in their college years, wanting to make memories and have them last a life time. Professor Hill, Grant, was your typical hot tattooed man, every girls wet dream. Their relationship was hot and heavy in the best way possible.

4/5 star

Review by: Jennifer
(4 Stars)

Raven decides that before she graduates college, she is going to do something wild, so she volunteers to be the model for her art class, nude with a sheet somewhat covering her. The professor, Gage, can't even stay in the classroom while she is on display, the temptation is too much, so he hides in his office hoping that the next few weeks fly by without incident. But Raven stays after class to make sure that what she did was ok, and they have one little moment that sets off a chain of events that could alter their future. Will the professor and his student get caught in their taboo affair? Or will cooler heads prevail, and they wait the few short weeks before moving onto something more?

This was a nice short lunchtime read, a bit of drama and some just ok naughty bits (I was actually expecting a bit more from those bits). I actually wanted more of this story, for me it was too short, but it was still a nicely done story. I give this 4 stars.

**Spoilers**

Raven is getting ready to graduate college when her cousin Abby reminds her that she never really got to have the true college experience. Her entire time on campus she kept herself locked away in her room studying and planning for what comes next. Not wanting to leave with regrets and with just three weeks left to go Raven decides to do something she never would have before. She volunteers to be the subject for her art classes final exam. Naked. This is the beginning of where everything changes for her. Will these changes lead to happiness or despair?

This was such a sweet romance book. I’d say it’s an Insta-love romance despite them having withheld their feelings from each other all semester. My only issue is with some of the spicy scenes. I couldn’t wrap my head around how they were possible, lol, otherwise they were good. That second office scene though, yes please! 🥵

This book is available on kindle unlimited!

Standalone, interconnected characters
*over 18 readers only *
Professor/ Student, age-gap

Raven was a baby/ child/ teenager in the last series, but now she's an adult and about to graduate college. Too bad the only man to get her attention is her art professor, in a class she ends up modeling nude for. He is looking to leave teaching, especially after meeting her. But where he's going is where she's from, and he doesn't know it yet. He also doesn't realize how closely connected his new job will be to her. Things get out of hand two weeks before graduation, and they get caught by the dean...

This is book one of this series, but it follows closely after the ending of the other series. The last book of that series was called "SPICY" by the same author. You get a history in the book and a look into the story of this one in the epilogue.

Weeks away from graduation, Raven looks back at her college experience and realizes that she has played it safe. Deciding to step out of her comfort zone, Raven decides to pose semi nude for her art class. Her forbidden hope is that Professor Hill will finally notice her. Gage Hill is almost to the end of his teaching career. His plan is to move to a small mountain town and work at a tattoo shop. He thought everything was planned out until he noticed Raven. He's avoided her all semester. That is until she decides to pose for the class. At his breaking point, Gage doesn't think he can hold back any longer. And, he doesn't want to! What happens when they get caught at school? What will happen when Gage realizes that the job he excepted is for Raven's father? This was so good!!!

Well I seriously cannot believe this was my first time reading one of Khloe’s books , I have definitely found myself a new favorite author Age gap , forbidden and college romance three of my all time favorite tropes wrapped up in a story that is guaranteed to grab onto all your emotions pull at your heartstrings and suck you right In . Raven and Gage I just loved them both so much , so likable and relatable yet very unique and multi layered . There Journey is definitely not all hearts and flowers as they do have some ups and downs . But it’s also filled with angst , off the charts chemistry, romance, unexpected surprises, witty banter , humor , heartfelt and heartbreaking moments, and so much more . It’s actually a really quick read but so worth every ounce of sleep I lost

⭐⭐⭐.5

Could someone turn the heat down cause oh boy, that was something. 🔥🔥

Raven and Gage’s chemistry is literally felt through every page of the book. They both harbored this intense attraction for each other that they only didn’t inform the other of since Gage is Raven’s professor.

But when the tension just gets too high, they can no longer fight the attraction, and flames erupt, fireworks ensue, and the temperature goes up a thousand degrees. 🥵🥵🥵

Since it was a shorter novel, I felt like the plot lacked just a bit, but I still really enjoy it, and it kept my attention. I wish it were longer because I would have liked to see Raven and Gage’s story flushed out and less rushed. It was still good, though. ❤️

I received this book with the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.

In this book we meet Raven & Gage. Raven (who we met in Protector) has been at college for the last four years doing nothing but studying oh and obsessing about her teacher. So when her cousin challenges her she decides to go for it and pose nude. Gage can't believe the one woman he can't get out of his mind is the same one who is one of his students. When the year is done though he is going away before he does something he shouldn't. Can these two find the HEA or are they just destined to never be together?

Another amazing hit by this author. I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

Raven has had a thing for her art professor, but he has never given any indication he reciprocates it. When he leaves the class, she decides to help the class for the final project by posing nude. What she does not know he did not stay away the whole class.

Gage has been a professor for about twenty years, but has decided that it is time for a change, he gets a job at the end of the year at Rugged Ink. If only he can keep away from Raven for three weeks.

Little does he know his new boss is Raven's father.

Love this story, it made me smile and warmed my heart.

Raven is a college student in her last week of school. Gage is a professor, only three weeks away from changing careers. When Raven volunteers to pose for art class, Gage's thread on himself is thin, when she approaches him the thread snaps.

Gage has been obsessing about Raven since the day she walked into class. Fate throws them for a loop, when he reveals his plans to work at a tattoo shop, and when she tells him about the tattoo.

Fast, hot and steamy read you will not want to put down.

When these two decide they can't stay away from each other will it put their careers in jeopardy? This story had me in their corner to find happiness together!

This was the perfect mix of sweet and spicy. It's short and very sweet! Raven wants to finally do something crazy to finish off her college experience so she poses (mostly) nude for her art class. Was she hoping her hot professor would like what he sees? Quite possibly!
Gage is 20 years older than Raven and is planning to leave the college at the end of the year to become a tattoo artist. He does, in fact, notice Raven and wants her. Bad.
This is the perfect nugget of a book to finish in an hour, or two, if you need a quick, sweet, instalove!

Loved this book

Raven, a small town girl, is soon graduating college. Gage, one of her professors, is soon leaving the college for a new life. They both lusted after each other but fought it until the last three weeks of school. Being so close to the end of the year, any personal connection if caught, could end her degree and his career. It was fun to read, Raven seems older and wiser than her years. Gage, well he's just hot. I enjoyed reading their story a lot. Written by Cindy :)

This book was pretty good! I kinda new to Khloe’s books but everything I’ve read so far I’ve really enjoyed.
Raven is a college student who’s about to graduate and decides to broaden her horizons by posing for her class- almost naked! She’s also very attracted to her hot, older, professor, Gage. And unbeknownst to her, when classes are over in three weeks he’s leaving to begin a job at a certain tattoo shop in Rugged Mountain! Which just happens to be owned by her dad.
This was a good start to a new series and I’m excited to read the next book!

Good but a few notes.

One thing I really dislike about curvy girl romances is when they feel the need to put down skinny or physically fit girls. How is that any better than the skinny bitches making fun of the curvy girls? Can’t all women be beautiful and the men have their own preferences? Her curvy body “tells” a story, but so does every body.
Also I cannot understand the placement of some scenes. How was she reaching there while laid back on his desk? I don’t get it.

Otherwise super hot and cute. Will read more

Raven found herself dedicated to her studies, and now she wanted to go wild, and decided posing nude for her art class. Gage is good at his job as a teacher of art he never had any problems until Raven walked into his class, they are drawn to each other but a relationship between them is forbidden, but what happens when the semester ends? A well written steamy forbidden age gap romance a great addition to the series and starting a second generation!

Wow this short read sure was Hot and Steamy.... sure there is an age gap, sure he is her professor.. but man oh man these two are meant to be. The chemistry for one could not be denied, yes they tried to stay away but if it is destined to happen and your destined to be together nothing will stop it from happening.
This series is truly fantastic and I can not wait to read the next book in this series.... keep them coming..

This is a short and sweet novel. It is a stand-alone but in an interconnected world. It follows Raven (a university art student) and Gage (a university art professor) on their forbidden love journey. This book can be read in under an hour so it is a whirlwind romance between a student and her professor. Raven is our quintessential cinnamon roll/innocent character making their romance that much sweeter. If you need a quick pick me up, then this is a great book to pick up.

This was an absolutely amazing story!!! Wonderful forbidden romance. Raven was in love with her Professor, Gage. He was instantly attracted to and obsessed with Raven! Then her cousin challenged her to pose nude for the class and now Gage can’t get her out of his mind! Amazing, wonderfully written story with fantastic chemistry, true love, lots of heat and steam and a truly wonderful HEA.

This was a sweet and steamy read that brought together Raven, an art student, and Gage, one of her art profs. Of course, there was fab chemistry between them, but there was also a wee bit of drama and a love that really was meant to be. I liked their connections outside of uni, her courage and his willingness to try and keep professional. That didn't work out too well for him, thank goodness ;P I loved the epilogue, as well. I really enjoyed this series opener :D

Gage is an Art Professor and Raven is a student in his Art Class. I loved that these two didn't give in to their feelings for each other until she was out of college and he wasn't a Professor anymore. When they finally give in sparks are flying and things get steamy. Obsessed is book one and a great start to the series. I can't wait to read the next book.

Loving the next generation!

Gage and Raven are seriously steamy! Denial only made them hotter. I love that Gage made all his plans before knowing the specifics about Raven. The fact that he would be moving to her hometown and working with her Dad, perfect. Henry wanted Raven home, now he has the perfect situation. Proof that the fortune teller knew what she was talking about! This book was great. Looking forward to Addie’s story next!
