  I'd give this 1 1/2 stars. It can be read, if you're looking for an extremely short 18+ read featuring your one-and-only Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde & typical where-have-you-been-all-my-life Prince Charming.
  
  For me, the BS factor was just too high.
  
  1) The girl is retarded. She spends hours "getting ready" for her guy, then wastes time staring out the window philosophizing about how it's probably going to pour like heck soon and how that would mess up her hair. And yes - she leaves the house and waaaam - free outdoor shower. Now one might forgive her for not covering herself this first time from getting wet. But no. Her IQ is way below average... She goes back inside and styles herself again before going out. This is what happens next:
  
  

  " I went to rush out the door again, but I saw that it was still pouring rain.
  
                Of course, the college didn’t see rain all winter semester, but during the week before spring break– and my last before I graduated– the weather was relentless. I grabbed a few magazines from my coffee table and put them over my head as a shield.
  
                “This is so ghetto!” I said to myself as I rushed through the drenched parking lot. The magazines quickly soaked with water and nearly pulled apart in my hands until I reached the driver’s door. I threw myself into the dry car and tossed the magazines on the rubber mat next to me. “Note to self: get an umbrella.” "

  
  
  Seriously?! I know not a single person that does not have either a rain jacket or umbrella. And if you're as retarded as to not own either, then you should know that, uh, yes,... paper gets sloppy when wet and is not exactly the water-proof protection you want to look for.
  She's driving with her car, so she basically could have taken a huge plastic laundry basin to hold over her head to get the 10m to her car without getting socked. Or if all other things fail a plastic bag.....
  
  Ugh...That girl's going to college, so she should have an IQ above average, but at the very least one to rival a chimpanzee. Yet I believe the ape would probably win in a strategy face-off...
  
  For those not already annoyed, let me get to my problem #2.
  
  2) Sluts all around much?
  So yes, I get that this is an erotic novella, but do all girls in this story have to define their psychological well-being on getting laid and cannot enjoy themselves without indulging in sexual activities with a total stranger with a peepee for their veevee?!
  
  

  " “I don’t care what we do,” Leslie said as she stepped from the bathroom. “I just wanna see some cock tonight.” "

  
  
  Don't get me wrong, I do understand wanting to be sexually satisfied but that's not something equivalent to “I don’t care which restaurant we go to, as long as I get to eat something soon.”. #nymphomaniac
  
  And 3) is a spoiler about the misleading summery and character development as such, so treat with care:
  3) Male "hero" turning from nice, sexy guy to super creepy douche and heroine ending up with someone completely different. I went into this book thinking it was about a relationship between a student and a professor and how they got their HEA. No other guy was even implied in the summery, so I was disappointed. And the way the guy turned from nice to evil? Not cool and way too much Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde for me - one minute this, the other that. And even if that was true..the character is inconsistent. A prof that does fuck the entire student body (pun intended) and start beating them up, if they backtalk would not spend a single dime buying a girl a gift or showing her feelings consideration by breaking it up instead of trying to keep on having sex with her even though it's clear she has feelings for him which he cannot return.
