This is the conclusion to the Professor’s Rule series, and it is everything that I wanted it to be!  We finally get some of Carson’s perspective and everyone finally starts actually talking to each other and…well, it’s rather obvious that I’m still really excited about this one (even a week after reading it).  Oh wait, I forgot…the ending.  It left me happy, but wanting more of Carson, James, and Satish.


If you liked the first ones in the series, you’ll love this one as well.  If you haven’t read the first ones and you like m/m with BDSM mixed in, I highly recommend this series.  They really need to be read in order though.  You could read the second one followed by #1, but the rest really need to be read in order.  I can’t wait to go back and re-read them back-to-back rather than having to wait until the next one is released.


I hope that this pair of authors teams up again.  I’m excited to see what they can come up with next!

Ah.  The story of James and Professor Carson and Satish continues.  Let me start by saying that if you haven’t read the first 3 in this series, stop everything and go read them, then come back.  It’s okay.  I’ll wait…


Okay.  #4 picks up right after #3.  Satish is debating about calling James.  After running into Carson, he decides to make the phone call.  But it’s what happens afterwards, when James goes back to Carson that has me so gobsmacked.  Thankfully I had #5 loaded on my reader and ready to go, because I don’t think I could have tolerated the ending otherwise.


Stay tuned for my review of the conclusion to the series…

Sophie’s dad was a member of the mob and was killed when she was younger. Since then, she’s gone out of her way to avoid getting involved with the family again. But all of that changes when her car is about to be repossessed and the mob boss’ younger brother, Joey steps in and pays off the loan for her. Joey’s always been happy to stay in his older brother’s shadows and keep his hands clean. But can he ever have Sophie when she wants nothing to do with the family?

This one was a head shaker for me. First, I don’t think I’ll ever be a fan of mafia romance (this was my first mafia romance read) and, admittedly, I know very little about the mafia. Secondly, for not wanting to get involved in the family, Sophie was very quick to jump into bed with Joey and by the end of the second date she was ordering spanking implements for him?! Not to mention Joey doesn’t really seem to get off on spanking Sophie, yet he knows that’s what she really needs (yes, knows this by the 2nd date). Apparently mind reading ability comes along with your mafia membership card. And last, the ending seemed a little too easy. It’s presented as happily ever after, but I just can’t see it staying that way for long.

If the mafia romance angle sounds intriguing to you it may be worth a read, but for me, I don’t think I’ll be reading any more mafia romance. 

Has anyone else read a mafia romance? What did you think? Good, bad, indifferent?
