Professorhole by Ann Grech
3.0
I am really grateful about receiving this book as an ARC and I wish Ann the best on future endeavours.
This is an Australian based, reverse harem/polyamorous, bisexual, contemporary erotica (I can't really call it a romance).
Zali is a prodigy hacker, assisting the federal police in taking down bad guys. She's body confident, sex forward, and a no shit taker and I respect that. In her life she's got her golden retriever best friend Flynn, her broody right hand man (and brothers best friend) Ryder, and her police handler Ezra. All 3 men have harboured secret desires for her and eachother for years. Yet somehow she's either been blind, oblivious or in complete denial about it, until a sexy professor comes along and opens her eyes to the possibilities of suddenly banging her besties.
Zali and Flynn are tasked to attend a class and assist Professor Tristan investigate a cold case of an investment company collapse (that Zali's mother ran). His aim is to put together a podcast exposing Zali's mother as criminally negligent. Zali's aim is to apparently destroy the professor and prove her mother's innocence.
Zali and the Professor's relationship moves from insta-lust to insta-hate, to insta-sex, to insta-love in what felt like 3 chapters. You've been warned.
If you come for smut, this book's got you. It's MM, MF, MMF, and eventually will be MMMMF over the next books.
Overall it's smut heavy and plot light.
I'm a smut girlie, my kindle library is littered in all the shades of moral depravity. But if I find myself getting to the point of skim reading a sex scene, it means it's over saturated and I'm getting impatient for the actual plot. Like one scene ran for over 20 pages and unless I'm well medicated and it's the most well written, creative, emotionally invested sex scene of my life, I don't have that level of attention span. In this book if the character's are aren't having sex, they are fantasing about having sex or having an internal monologue reviewing the sex they've just had. It's... a lot. Only occasionally do they do some actual work on the case.
I wanted to rate this higher, but the plot to smut ratio wasn't balanced enough for me and there were issues in the first few chapters I had to force myself to push through.
The way Flynn was initially off handedly mentioned, made me think Flynn was Ryder's first name (because only Ryder was physically in the scene) and I cringed so hard... There will only ever be one Flynn Ryder in this world. It wasn't until a few pages later I realised they were two seperate people and calmed the fuck down, cause I don't know if i'd of been able to continue at that point.
Anyway, it ends in what some would call a 'cliff hanger.' I will read the next one as what plot there is, is interesting enough for me to want to find out what happens.
If you've made it this far into my review and are looking for a a smutty escapist read that you don't want to think to hard about, this is one to put on your TBR.
