Review / Release Blitz: Over Time (Willow Bay #3) by Ella Kade

Release Date: May 13

I’ve been keeping secrets from my roommates, but my one-night stand just outed me. Now they knew I was bi, and that I just hooked up with one of the professors at our school.

They wanted to know why I wasn’t the happy-go-lucky guy I was before going home for the summer, but I’m not ready for them to learn why.

Everything changed for the worst this summer.

It was a secret that kept me up at night. A secret that devastated me to the point I wasn’t sure if I’d ever be the same again.

How could I concentrate on school when my whole world was upside down? I had more important things to worry about. Namely, my one-night very drunken stand who kept showing up in my life.

Over Time is the intriguing third book in the Willow Bay series. If you like dark romance with strong alpha males, then you’ll love Ella Kade’s MM, interracial, student/professional romance.

MY REVIEW

Ford's hot night came with consequences he certainly could not have foreseen. Unfortunately, the gorgeous guy turns out to be one of his professors, and Xander doesn't want anything to jeopardize his career. So what will it take from Ford to get him to continue their forbidden encounters? Blackmail of course...and now they're both insanely addicted to each other. How can a forbidden relationship work between a professor and his student? Especially a student who's closed off, angry, and not about to open himself up to anyone?

Oh damn but this professor romance is HOT! It's everything I like about the professor trope: deliciously hot, forbidden and secretive, with two people who know they shouldn't be together but can't help themselves. What's different about it is that the power is skewed toward Ford rather than his professor. Ford is the dominant one in and out of the bedroom, he's the one blackmailing Xander, and he's the one who's holding back his feelings. But Xander's not without his own strength, he's the only one who's able to bring Ford some peace, and he offers stability so desperately needed by the tortured younger Ford. Really the only reason I couldn't rate this 5 stars is because the maturity difference between the two was so striking that it threw me. Ford was kind of unlikable because his pain drove his actions, and caused a disconnect for me. But I liked everything else about this story - it's got a lot of heart, the chemistry is ridiculously hot, and the story is entertaining, all the reasons why I do so love professor stories.

Review: One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti

Review of One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti ONE LITTLE LIE Hollis is a good girl with a crush on a broody musician. Unfortunately, that boy, Adam, hates her. Why? Because the chip on his shoulder leaves him thinking good girl, rich girl Hollis is a lemming like everyone else in their small town. Which makes it even more unfortunate when years after their high school encounter, Hollis' best friend tries to stick up for her and ends up telling her parents that Adam is the the boyfriend Hollis doesn't actually have. Oops. How will Hollis ever convince Adam to go along with her little lie? I really liked One Little Lie. Hollis is a really naive girl, but she has such a huge heart that I couldn't help but fall in love with her spirit. She's so sweet, so compassionate, the kind of person this world needs more of. Adam, on the other hand, eh, he didn't do much for me. His chip on the shoulder, broody asshole attitude did nothing to endear me to him, but because H...
