Need Me by Tessa Bailey
1.0

Pre-Med student Honey is hot for her English Professor and sets out to seduce him. He says no, but is secretly obsessed with his 19 year old student. He says no until he accidentally kisses her in a dark closet at a party, and then they cannot keep their hands off of one another, no matter how wrong it is for both of them.

Of course, Ben messes things up, Honey runs home to Kentucky, he follows her, the reconnect in some super hot sexy times, then he fucks up again. Later, with not enough grovel in my opinion, they get their HEA.

The rare Tessa Bailey that didn't work for me. Too icky, didn't like the Lolita reference, and there's no way a 25 year old is a professor at Columbia University. Why couldn't Ben be a teaching assistant? Plus, the whole horrible letter Ben wrote to "pre-defend" Honey accusing him of sexual misconduct was gross, even if he didn't ever turn it in.

Still loved seeing references to some of the other characters and I did enjoy the first book in this series and the last book.
