The audiobook really made it an enjoyable experience.

This was a good balance of lust and love. They couldn't keep their hands off each other, but somehow I wasn't bothered by it. I enjoyed their shared moments. Thankfully, I could tell why Stone left Cash high and dry had to be drastic. I wish I knew a little bit more about Aida. It felt a little over the place with her personality. And at the end of the story I wish I had seen Kylie and some of Cash's friends more.

Overall, I had a good experience; I love the sentimental scenes together.

Why did y'all let me sleep on this book?! Here I thought I was going to get the usual professor/student book, but noooo this is WAY more than I expected!

Cash has a huge crush on his married professor, Stone. After attending a weekend literary conference together, sparks fly between them and they begin an illicit affair. But everything changes for them after one fateful night...

It was cute, and nothing much really happened.

It's basically about a professor who breaks his code of conduct and falls in love with one of his students

while cheating on his wife because their marriage is falling apart, and then the wife dies. By mistake, car accident and then the professor feels guilty so he decides to ghost the student by moving to another state without telling him even though they've made plans to be together. Long story short, the student graduates and ends up working at the same university the professor now works at .And they reunite and get married the end.

this fucking guy complained about his wife so much that it made me dislike him immediately and honestly just annoyed the fuck out of me - i spent 2 hours trying to ignore it but eventually it was just too distracting and i couldn’t listen to him whine like a little bitch anymore
