Small detour, but still crossing things off my TBR list. Here's Alessandra Hazard's "Just A Bit Twisted." It's the first novel in her Straight Guys series.
["Professor Derek Rutledge is hated and feared by all of his students. Strict, reserved and ruthless, he doesn't tolerate mistakes and has little patience for his students.
Shawn Wyatt is a twenty-year-old struggling to provide for his younger sisters after the death of their parents. On the verge of losing his scholarship, Shawn becomes desperate enough to go to Professor Rutledge.
Everyone says Rutledge doesn't have a heart. Everyone says he's a ruthless bastard. Shawn finds out that everyone is right.
He strikes a deal with Rutledge, but unexpectedly, the deal turns into something so much more.
Something all-consuming and addictive.
Something neither of them wants."]
Rutledge is cruel, but every once in a while, his actions speak so much louder. Shawn claims he isn't gay, but once he says he's finished with this deal, he's ready to accept himself.
This story pushed the lines of taboo, but at the same time, it was also kinda sweet.
To be perfectly honestly, I'm still not sure if I'll finish the series or not. Love the taboo, love the dark romance. But some of the later books in the series seem to be less romance and more dark (or just less romance) and/or some of them have plot lines that just are too much for me. Stay tuned either way!
