BOOKWORM REVIEW: My Professor by R.S. Grey
STEAM: 🔥🔥🔥
This book checks off my favorite tropes:
✅ age gap
✅ professor-student
✅ grumpy but protective MMC
Jonathan Barclay has a problem. He has been drawn to the mystery woman who sits on the bench outside his office. Now that said woman is in his class, and she is proving to be a bigger distraction than he anticipated. When he finally reaches the edge of his self-control with Emelia Mercier, he drives her away from his class and his life.
Four years later, their worlds collide again. This time, he is her boss, and she is the new architecture conservation expert in his firm. Could he keep himself away from Emelie, or will he finally succumb to his attraction?
This read has all of the ingredients that make me love R.S. Grey books. The broody male character. The hopeful female lead. The arc from adversarial misunderstanding to deep emotional connection. The tension that sizzles from page 1 until the story reaches the end.
This also had elements that were a welcome departure from Grey's portfolio. The age gap. The forbidden love. The angst. THE SPICE.
New books by R.S. Grey always have a burden of meeting a high bar because I have had some of the best reads among their predecessors. This book did not disappoint at all, and I highly recommend it.

ABOUT THE BOOK
Young and naïve—those are his exact words.
Professor Barclay views me as a nuisance, a disruption of his otherwise obedient class and perfectly regimented life. His bad impression of me stems from a simple misunderstanding, and when that impression sours from bad to worse, he decides to make an example out of me in front of the entire class. Every other female student in that auditorium looks on, longing to trade places with me, wishing they were the object of his attention. It’s humiliating. I want nothing to do with him or the tension growing between us, but he feels inescapable.
Deep down, I know I have a crush on him. It’s a shameful feeling I refuse to give life to.
Not that it matters—nothing can come from it. Besides our mutual dislike for one another and the fact that he’s my professor, there’s an age gap that should be warning enough.
While we might cross the line once—the dark glance across a dimly lit bar…the metallic sound of the bathroom door locking behind us…his hand slowly sliding up my skirt—I know it’s a boundary I can’t break again.
Now, more than ever, he’s off-limits.
After four years apart, I’m a brand-new hire at his firm. I’ve convinced myself he won’t remember me. I’m safe here in the wolf’s den.
It’s funny, isn’t it? How easily we can delude ourselves if only we want something bad enough.
Nothing has changed.
That same friction roils between us. My gaze still flees from the chill of his glacier blue eyes. At times it seems the only difference is how I respond to his commands.
He’s my new boss, so it’s no longer “Yes, Professor”.
He expects something a little different—
Yes, sir.
