Description

Royce Devereaux isn’t your average sexy professor. He has a lot of rules in his professional and personal life. He keeps both worlds separated. He has to. He’s somewhat of a public figure—and yes, he’s made enemies climbing to the top. Being a world-famous paleontology professor doesn’t mix well with his romantic life. He likes his sex rough, and a whole lot of naughty. Which means his students are 100% off limits.

One problem. His new graduate student assistant, Kenzie. She looks at him like a kid looks at birthday cake, and he doesn’t like it. Except, he does. He likes it too much. She’s feisty and smart—which only makes him want to tie her up and master her body. And her buttoned-up librarian look—it makes him want to strip her naked…slowly. He has to find a way to ignore her. It’s only one semester. Right?

But when an enemy decides to use Kenzie to force his hand, Royce has no choice but to keep her close. Very, very close. His two worlds have just collided. He just hopes he can let her go once the danger is over…

I think the chapter should have started with a little bio on Kenzie and Royce. Then, some interaction with both; before Kenzie being attacked by goons to find Royce. All the times they worked together they didn’t really speak to each other personally- boring. So, I didn’t feel the connection towards each other. Kenzie would have never gotten close to Royce if she wasn’t attacked in his office on school ground (all her fantasies was far fetched).Then, he is so self-observed that she called him, left a message and he didn’t call to see if it’s an emergency(while she’s the only one left in his office)or if she is okay. She had to call him from her car after she escaped to tell him she was attacked on school property. While she’s at his home, she begins to talk about all these fantasies she had for him; and him vise versa. But no real sex connection was made between these two making their setup dry; even when they decided to hook up(it was lame & boring sex). You holding on to feeling for this long when you hook up you expect fireworks; what I got was sizzle😔. They fell in love without knowing each other-other than they are smart, love fossils, and well educated; then have a couple damp hookups then he’s proposing. I’ve read BDSM and this wasn’t it - it lacks a lot of what bdsm really is. This was a tame flame but not a fire 🔥 reaction or connection.
Brilliant mixture

By Sai,
Well written and interesting story about, the encounter between good people and the bad smugglers people not respect ✊ for human being and destroy their historical identity. The theme was very interesting 📖📖📚👵🏻👏👍👀☝️Recommended 💝 She and Royce were like two neutrons 🌟 finally colliding after millennium of spinning around one another orbit,the explosions, or destroy both or turn everything into Silver and Gold. The author enrich ourselves with these subject not common in novels written.
