About this ebook

Teach me everything.

My whole life, I’ve been a good girl. I follow rules like nobody’s business. I obey guidelines like I was born to it. Show me a line, and I’ll toe it.

I’m even a twenty-two-year-old virgin. Good is my middle name.

And then, I break one tiny little rule. Miniscule. Inconsequential.

Next thing I know, I’m trapped with an incredibly handsome stranger. He’s got eyes like cut emeralds, biceps that makes my head spin, and a smile that has me rethinking all my life choices.

We escape a bar bathroom together. We go on an impromptu date. We share the hottest kiss I’ve ever had, one that leaves me panting for more. We promise to see each other again.

Turns out, we see each other the next morning. In my calculus class. Which he’s teaching.

My handsome, sexy date is Professor Loveless, and we’ll be seeing each other plenty. Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday all semester.

There’s no choice but to call it off. We both have too much at stake: I could lose my scholarship, and he could lose his entire career.

But I can’t call off the way I feel.

I can’t call off the way he looks when he rolls up his sleeves and explains imaginary numbers.

I can’t call off the heated glances, or the way our hands touch when I hand in my homework, or the memory of his body pressing against mine that night.

I’m a virgin.

He’s my professor.

And if we give in, it could cost us both everything.

But I’m so tired of being a good girl.

Ratings and reviews

Another Loveless brother charms his way to number one!! I do not know how it's possible, but every book I find myself saying 'this brother, this is the one I adore'. So, as I write my review for Caleb; the baby brother Loveless, the professor; I, right now, am saying he's currently in the lead as my favorite Loveless. He's bumped Levi to second place. Although Thalia is pretty awesome. And I haven't ranked the ladies. I really relate to her late blooming ways. (Wink, wink, nudge, nudge) Thalia finds herself inadvertently still a virgin and about to graduate college. Not that it's been a major concern. Thus the inadvertent part. But then a rash decision to use the men's room leads to her meeting Caleb... And a little adventure with a man she has sizzling chemistry with. Only to discover he's her professor the next day. Neither of them can resist the pull of their attraction to each other (and they do try). And unfortunately for them, despite trying to be discreet, (and they do try) others are not so concerned with what Caleb & Thalia actually feel or are doing. She knows her own mind. Does not need to be sheltered or protected. He is not a predator. They both beat themselves up enough for the problems their attraction may, does cause. They certainly don't need anyone else making decisions for them. He drops everything to help her when he barely knows her. Maybe not the wisest choice, but definitely the choice made with his heart before he knew what his heart was feeling. I love the Loveless family's interactions with each other and others. Their families and friends. I loved seeing Thalia and her siblings. I still want a Silas book!! Floved every single page. I adore this bookiverse.

I have loved every other book in this series but I can't help but feel like this one fell short. I can't lie the storyline was weird, I just couldn't get over feeling of it being creepy, the whole teacher and student dynamic and that sucked because I was so looking forward to Caleb's story. He came off creepy with no self control and she just came off as whiny and naive. I found myself skipping over all the hot and heavy scenes because it just felt gross. The whole book was just excuse after excuse for being a bad person. I get that she's not underage but it still just felt wrong the entire time. I will still finish the series because all the others were 5 stars.

I think this just may be my new favourite from the Loveless Brothers series! I was hooked from the start and had difficulty putting it down! It’s full of fun, witty banter, hot chemistry, and a fantastic storyline that has all the feels but it’s also not without its angst. I love Caleb, and Thalia fits in perfectly with the Loveless family. It’s a definite must read!
