Inch by Inch. (The Professor's Rule, #3)Heidi Belleau Amelia C. GormleyReview from Jeannie Zelos Book Reviews.I'd read book two in this series, though oddly part one seems to be between parts two and three, and I’ve not read that so there was some mental musings to work things out but its not difficult. These are all short novellas  that deal with facets of the relationship between James and the Professor. After his sexy encounter with Satish James is keen to take their relationship further – but how will the Prof feel? He's pushed James into encounters with other men where he's either watched, or directed James actions and wanted an account afterwards but James doesn't want Satish involved in that...he feels more for him, and that involving the Prof will diminish what they might have. Of course given that James has a need for the pain the professor can give him in their BDSM encounters, he needs to know if Satish can cope with that as its something he just can't give up. Its not something I really understand this giving and receiving pain, but its clear here both of them enjoy it and get something they need from it especially James.  Needing something like this must make relationships very difficult.I was a bit puzzled at how James had managed without the Prof and his whips for past two years, and yet once back was so dependent on him that he risks what he might have with Satish. I like James, feel sad for him that he needs the pain outlet for his emotions, and would love to see him work things out with Satish. Its early days though and there's some drama and heartbreak in store for James yet. Thankfully we get a suggestion things will work out for him at the end :) I'd hate to leave him all sad.....Stars: four, fun read, but very very short so its difficult to really get into.NB: ARC supplied via Netgalley
