I truly wanted to like this book, and I tried - reading on even though my mind was telling me to stop.Kate is a pathetic young woman with low self esteem who craves attention. Like so many women on campus, she lusts after her beautiful, cold professor. When a chain of (ridiculous) events leads her to the professor AND his secret, Kate seizes the chance to be with him.This could have been a great story and powerfully erotic had the author treated the couple more like two damaged souls. Instead, Rust comes off as jerk-of-the-world and Kate's just a warm, willing body. When Kate screams "I love you!" in her mind, I gagged. C'mon...seriously?The cover calls this "a scorchingly hot BBW shifter romance". Well, there is  a BBW, and there is a shifter, but that's it. The rest is just sad.
