Book Blurb

James Sheridan is failing history. Luckily, his professor is a rumored pervert, and James isn’t too proud to pay for a better grade with his body. Professor Carson lives up to his reputation, but he’s not unethical enough to take sexual bribes. What he can offer is some highly unconventional tutoring...creative use of a ruler included.

The deal? Studying, followed by a “quiz.” Wrong answer? Spanking. Right answer? Reward. Ace the final, earn some mindblowing sex. It’s harder work than sexual bribery, but it beats the volunteer tutors at the student center.

After a few study sessions, James realizes he wants way more than a grade from Professor Carson, even if he’s not sure what that is. Carson’s a silver fox, all right, but James isn’t “bent” the way Carson is, and for him, the spankings are only supposed to be a means to an end. But the better he gets at history, the more he realizes he likes getting answers wrong just as much as getting them right.

 

Book Review

This short book is about anything but a "standard" student/professor romance. The story takes the tutoring relationship between James, a failing student, and Evander Carson, his history professor, well into the realms of doubtful ethicality (if there is such a word) and delightful exploration of BDSM. To note: even though this book  was published after the volume labeled one, it is actually the beginning of James and Evander's stormy relationship and, in my personal opinion, best read first.

James may think he knows what he's doing when he offers his body up as payment for a better grade, but he really has no idea what he's getting himself into with the professor. And while he very quickly does begin to understand history much better than he ever did before, he struggles with his apparent need for and enjoyment of discipline. One thing is abundantly clear: his statement about being an addictive personality who has now replaced previous cravings with those for spankings is very true.

Professor Evander Carson has a certain reputation (that of a pervert), and as the story progresses we begin to find out how far he is willing to go. While, in his mind, his rules are just this side of ethical, since James is the one who comes to him and he never takes a direct sexual payment, I would argue that his actions are at the very least questionable. He does use the promise of sex as a reward, and he knows that the spankings get James extremely excited; not that they leave him unmoved either. Ultimately, if you believe the end justifies the means, there is no arguing that the professor is successful.

If you like stories with a touch of the morally frowned upon, if you enjoy students getting spanked by their professors, and if you're looking for a read that is as hot as it is psychologically interesting, then you will probably like this short story.
