The Professor's Pet, A BDSM Romance Novel, Tara CrescentReview from Jeannie Zelos book ReviewsI enjoyed this novel, its a shortish read at 162 pages, but a decent storyline with some hot and sensual, erotic love scenes. I loved the thought of the Professor looking at Emily's kindle and seeing it wasn't his – and her horror when she opened his and realised what had happened!! Nightmare, the hottie Prof everyone fancies knows her secret reading....Its quickly in to the BDSM side, with Jake inviting Emily to his home for a quick intro to the lifestyle....then there's a gap a of a few months before they get a chance to pick up. Emily becomes his trainee, and we get some very heated, racy scenes, where Emily gets to learn more about the Kink world...some she knows but some she's shocked by, and she learns and is shocked by her response to it. The Magic 8 ball stuff was a bit disconcerting – being a UK reader I know roughly what it is, but have never actually seen one so I’m guessing its some kind of flip for an ambiguous answer to a question thing. I liked Emily's snark, the way she just couldn't stop her mouth from running off, and her reactions to submission which were the opposite of what she expected. Could she accept it though, or would she carry on telling herself it wasn't real; and what about how she felt for Jake, how would she cope when time was up?  Jake was kind of mysterious, we got to see some of him, but really it was guesswork form his reactions to her, though we knew he was determined not to get into a relationship beyond the eight weeks. How would that stick though?Its a fun sexy read, short and sweet but rounds off neatly.Stars: Four. If you like some sensual, erotic reading wrapped up in a romance this is for you.ARC supplied via Netgalley
