Need Me
Need Me: A Broke and Beautiful Novel | Tessa Bailey
3 posts | 4 read
When Honey Perribow traded in her cowboy boots for stilettos and left her small Kentucky town to attend Columbia University, she never expected to find a dirt-cheap apartment or two new best friends. No stranger to hard work, Honey is completely focused on her medical degree … until she sees newly minted professor Ben Dawson, and her concentration is hijacked. Honey is fascinated by her gorgeous young English professor and vows to find a crack in his tweed-wearing, glasses-clad exterior. At an off-campus party, an accident lands Ben in a dark, locked closet with a sexy-sounding Southern belle … and their chemistry is explosive. But when he discovers that the girl in his arms is the same beautiful student he can't stop thinking about, he is stunned. Student-teacher relationships are strictly forbidden … yet no matter how hard he tries, Ben can't stay away from Honey. And when his attempt to fight their attraction nearly ruins the best thing that ever happened to him, Ben will do anything to prove how much he needs her.

This is an okay read? It was certainly full of sexual tension and there was plenty of back-and-forth, will-they-won‘t-they, but idk. It‘s stretched the boundaries of reasonable belief for me, I guess. And the catalyst for the third act breakup (sorry, spoilers) was one that I don‘t know is forgivable, especially so quickly. Fast read but probably wouldn‘t read again.

Wow, that was awful.
Ben was just the worst. And his nickname for Honey was "Lolita" which made all their spice and chemistry seedy. Just bad. So bad.

Parts of this book I liked: full character development, lots of conflict (almost too much), and steamy sex scenes.

The hero was, at times, jealous and possessive. Big turn off for me. This book centers around a professor/college student romance (he teaches lit theory). He calls her Lolita and it icked me out. I read Lolita and it is different from the pop culture version of Lolita. To me, Lolita is about a pedophile, not some precocious vixen.
