It has been a month since plus-sized Kate Penney hooked up with the man of her dreams, her phenomenally handsome college Professor, Rust O’Brien. An incredible month in which all her physical needs and wanton hungers are fully satisfied and realized.
But now Kate wants more.
She wants Rust to gaze into her eyes lovingly, like he really means it. She wants to belong to him – body, mind and soul – just as she wants him to belong to her. But is she reaching? How can a man as obscure as he is ever belong to anyone?
Nevertheless, tonight is the night which marks a new threshold in their physical relationship. Tonight is the night he wants to do it raw with her.
But there are complex psyches at play here. Her classmate, Carlo, is in lust with her because of what she is to Rust. Rust himself is conflicted, though for reasons Kate would never have fathomed.
And when desires are stoked and games are played, it all must come crashing down.

Reading the continuing story of Late and her Professor Rust O'Brian. Good so far. Still my only botch is the authors tendency to use words that are not normal to conversation and some may need to look up. Like the word Diaphanous... In this instant you used the word to describe a dress then proceeded to give the definition. I hated English class and wish she would stick to entertaining stories and less vocabulary education! Just Sayin
Although it was a quick read, Steele packed a lot in it. In most stories, there is normally a lot of angst and issues that the main characters go through to finally be together. Dawn went straight to the point.... Straight up; no chaser. For a quick bit of fun, NSFW unless you plan to attack a co-worker after reading, this will be a great choice.
*hard eye roll* I won't say I completely enjoyed the book but once once I got about half way through I knew I was being sucked into another book with several more parts unnecessarily dragged out. I liked the first book and honestly I would have been ok if that just ended as a short story. So when I saw part 2 I was surprised but got it of course.
Kate is becoming annoying with the constant insecurities and full blown conversations in her head. The saving grace in this is the hot BDSM sex scenes with exhibitionism, makes for interesting outings.
The book a whole was ok I guess, would I recommend it probably not. On the scale of trilogies or how ever many parts this turns into because you never know these days I wish I would have stooped at part 1.
Der Traum ist für Kate Penney wahr geworden. Der Mann ihrer Träume der gut aussehende Professor Rust O´Brien gehört ihr bzw. die Leidenschaft hat die letzen Monate gekocht. Doch sie will mehr, sie will mit Körper, Kopf und Seele ihm gehören. Doch er hält sich zurück.
Man knüpft direkt an Band 1 an. Rust und Kate sind ein Paar, obwohl doch nicht so richtig. Kate fehlt dabei einfach was. Sie dringt weiter in die Welt der Gestaltwandler ein und plötzlich erregt sie nicht nur Rust Aufmerksamkeit sondern auch andere sehen sie mit ganz anderen Augen. Doch bekommt sie ihr Happy End mit Rust. Viel zu kurz das Band und ich weis ehrlich gesagt nicht ob ich das nächste Lesen will. Da die weiteren Bänder alle auf Englisch sind und wenn es wieder so auf hört, kann ich erst mal nicht weiterlesen.
The story continues as Kate is falling in love with Rust, but he is fighting that feeling. A tiger shifter with a human mate is not practical.
However jealousy is in the air as both Carlos and Fiona start trouble for the couple who are breaking academia rules by having a relationship in the college setting... of course it all blows up and Rust resigns under the cloud of controversy....while at the beginning Kate's identity is hidden until of course Fiona jealously reveals it .....
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
This story is raw, edgy and a little on the dark side. This book has every possible thing a reader wants in a Hot BBW Paranormal Shifter Romance... anger, fear, guilt, drama, jealousy, heartache, pure unadulterated lust, and intense, passionate and hot sex scenes. I hope there is a The Alpha Men's Secret Club 3.
