Beauty and the Professor by Skye Warren
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I rarely rate books less than 4 stars, so this is an anomaly for me. Loving anything that is based on Beauty and the Beast, I was disappointed with the way things turned out in this book. There were a lot of plot holes, and the book was very rushed.

The heroine, Erin, walked in on Blake, her boss, masturbating to thoughts of her. Now having had a crush on him she wanted to make his fantasies real life. The next chapter she was all over him, seducing him. I felt that it was super rushed. There could have been a bit more anticipation regarding the build-up of their relationship.

The rest of the book was filled with sex scenes and Blake doubting himself because of his appearance. There really wasn’t that much of a plot or resolution. The only conflict was with Blake’s ex-fiancee and even that was an anti-climatic “conflict.” Every chapter consisted of at least two sex scenes with no plot development. Each character was pretty two-dimensional. We never really got to know each character, and the POV switched between both of them so that’s saying a lot.

Having read some of Skye Warren’s previous books and loving them, I was super disappointed with this one. It had so much potential to be good but fell short when it came to key points when writing a novel.
