Yes yes yes! Give it all the stars! Freaking loved this one. It's spicy af and the book is the definition of a smut book.
It's taboo, she's 17 and he's (maybe) 38/39?
He's the Grumpy math professor. She's the math genius high school student only taking one college class....his.
Check trigger warnings before. Usually I'm out when there's a main character under-age with a significant age gap, but this just made it through and it was a great read.

This was such a spicy, witty, quick novella that I could really sink my teeth into! I sat down to start it and did not look away from the pages until the book was finished. If you love a good taboo romance, you'll love this. The grumpy professor/brat student trope worked well, and the banter between them was next-level hot. I can't wait to show this to my spicy bookclub when it comes out!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I absolutely devoured *Tenure*! Violet Pearce has completely pushed the boundaries with the large age gap, and I loved how it was done in a sensual and mature way, steering clear of the creepiness that can sometimes accompany these kinds of romances. The chemistry between Kiernan and James was off the charts, and the way they bonded over math—yes, *math*—was unexpectedly hot! Their banter had me grinning from ear to ear, and the tension and angst between them kept me glued to the pages. Pearce has officially become an auto-buy author for me. This book was everything I didn't know I needed in a taboo, age-gap romance!

Huge age gap, virgin savant-like high school student (minor) and college professor, steamy from the beginning and increases as their story continues.

This was a hot little novella.

Taboo age gap Professor/Student relationship with tons of spice, banter, and chemistry.

While the story was 75% spice/ 2 % plot, it never dragged and I devoured the book quickly.

This novella delivers - from the first chapter Kiernan and James are H-O-T-T-O-G-O… and go they do. Holy moly, the chemistry and the banter and the SMUT! Daddy James will definitely enter your list of hottest book boyfriends.

This is a very well-written, fast-paced, fast burn smokeshow of a novella that you need to read if you’re ok with taboo - just make sure your partner is on standby (or all your toys are fully charged).

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Five stars! If I could have dreamed up this story I would have! It had all of my favorite themes. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC. I'd love more from this writer!

I needed this book. I absolutely devoured it. One page was all I needed to be hooked.

James, I love you. The perfect sexy nerd everyone dreams of. Kiernan, girl you are beautiful and smart. A literal role model to some.

I love a good taboo read and this book 100% delivered. The spice in this had me gripped by the throat.

The two of them are so electric. Their relationship just clicks and makes sense to me. They didn't have a spark, they had a whole damn bonfire.

I adored every scene and ever chapter.

Kiernan is top notch the best FMC character for someone like James.

This novella has great writing with solid plot line flow. If you are after a large age gap this is for you. If you have triggers be sure to check to see if this book is for you.

Can’t wait to see what else Violet Pearce creates!

OMGGGGGGG!!!!! Absolutely loved this book!!!! I love a good banter and the banter was bantering from the first chapter!!!!!! I could not put this book down once I started it. The spice was spicing too. I would say it was a good 4/5 on my spice level. The only thing I could say was I wished she was aged just a little bit but that is just my preference on age gap starting age! All in all, I loved this book and definitely want a shelf trophy of it!

Well shit. That was great.
Normally, that age gap feels unreasonable, but this made sense. I got it. The chemistry between them was insane, the story was fast-paced and I honestly did not want to put it down for a single second.
This is fully about to live rent-free in my head for a while.
Kiernan had sass, bite and maturity and brought out the fun and fire in James. These characters were phenomenal!!!!!!
