A very well written story. It is a short and easy read. I like the story line and plot. It has a lot of twists and turns that was not suspected. The characters are well described and I like the dual POV. That gives the reader the answers to a lot of emotions and thoughts the characters may have. There is steamy scenes and hot feelings. Lots of great chemistry makes the couple fit well together.
I can only recommend this story.

I received the ARC from netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I've enjoyed London Hale's books in the past, but unfortunately, Seducing His Student missed the mark for me. It's billed as a taboo romance--which it is, in a sense--but elements of insta-love and a too neatly wrapped-up ending didn't work for me.

College student Samantha works at the local coffee shop when she's not working at her parents' marina. She's two weeks from graduation, after which she'll be at the marina full time. At the coffee shop, Sam frequently waits on Elliott, who's new in town. The two have been flirting for weeks when he finally asks her out. A case of mistaken identity results in the realization that Elliott is the new dean of students--at Sam's college. To make matters worse, Sam's dad is on the board of trustees.

There's a forbidden aspect to Sam and Elliott's attraction, for obvious reasons, but the taboo angle felt a bit forced. True, Sam is a student, but she's also two weeks from graduation. Additionally, Elliott isn't Sam's teacher--he's an administrator, so they've had no direct interactions in an educational capacity. Technicalities, sure--the relationship is still inappropriate--but ones that lessened the forbidden quality of their relationship, in my mind.

What the book has going for it is an abundance of sex scenes, but even those felt disconnected and even repetitive after a while. Sam and Elliott have a sexual connection, but what do they have beyond that? By the end of the book, it still wasn't clear to me why Elliott is so obsessed with Sam (other than her abundance of freckles, which he mentions quite frequently) or vice versa (other than the fact that Sam finds Elliott super hot).

Also, I don't know why, but every time Elliott calls Sam "princess," it kind of creeped me out. Maybe because she said she didn't like it and he insisted on continuing to call her that? At any rate, I didn't believe their instant connection, which lacked emotion even at the end of the book.

As I mentioned, I've enjoyed London Hale's other books, but a lack of emotional depth coupled with an implausible ending caused Seducing His Student to fall flat for me.

I liked this story. It was a believable story between a student and teacher. I wish it had been longer though!

This is a pretty good story. It was a quick read which is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. The characters were pretty awesome. Elliot and Samantha definitely had a forbidden love going on since he was the Dean at her school, but I love how they made it work for them even when they got caught. This was a beautiful romance for me. Steamy, sexy, sweet and fabulous.

I loved how illicit Seducing His Student was as well as the smoking hot sex scenes. I love the way this author does forbidden stories, they always feel compact despite the fact that they are short reads. I'm looking forward to reading their next release.

If you're in the mood for a quick, dirty, forbidden read I cannot recommend this book enough.

Naughty little book, nothing too extraordinary about it though

I'm not sure there's much to say about this story other than its a fast paced, sexy little page turner. This was a very quick read, a story you can definitely read in one sitting. It's jam packed with steamy scenes surrounding a forbidden relationship between a university dean and his student and while it may be short and sweet, this writing duo manages to pack in a pretty satisfying romance rife with sensuality and angst.

I'm not typically a fan of such short stories because I find that it's difficult to deliver a thoroughly fleshed out story in so few words. But London Hale did so here in Seducing His Student and I found it to be adorably sexy and deliciously romantic. While it's not the most memorable story I've read, it certainly checks all the boxes for a reader looking for a quick erotic fix. This was a solid little forbidden romance and I enjoyed the writing style of this team. I'd certainly keep an eye out for similar stories from London Hale in the future.

2.5 to 3 stars, I can't decide

This one didn't immediately appeal to me like the rest of London Hale's books did. Elliot and Sam have a lot of sexual chemistry, but I feel like they lacked the emotional connection I usually found with LH's other couples.

I'm not exactly one for student-teacher romances because the power imbalance tends to be off-putting, but the situation here is a little different. For one, the heroine is about to graduate college and secondly, the hero is not exactly her teacher. He's a dean of education at the college. As always with any London Hale book, you can expect lots and lots of steam in Seducing His Student. The chemistry and tension between Elliot and Sam is hot hot hot! They definitely had a connection there, and when they give in to their attraction to each other, it's just fireworks everywhere. The sexy scenes are of course, top notch - I mean, London Hale really excel at that. The characters themselves, I liked too. For a short story like this one I felt like they were very well-developed. As far as Sam and Elliot's emotional connection goes though, I personally would have liked to see them connect on a deeper level on page. Most of their scenes together involve flirting and sex, and not much conversations, unfortunately. I think that's why I think this could easily have been a full-length novel contemporary romance, with some added conversations. Still though, this was a fast, and sexy read, and definitely very fulfilling. If you're looking for a quick sexy book, then Seducing His Student and basically every other London Hale book is for you!

London Hale, where have you been hiding all of my life? I devoured this book in one sitting. It was absolute perfection. I'm a sucker for a quick read, but some short books fall a little below the mark. This one had all the hot sex I wanted and a great story. I totally fell in love with both Elliott and Samantha. I felt their attraction, and I loved his passion. There is nothing hotter than a man who knows what he wants. And the Dean definitely knew that Sam would be his. The love scenes were off the charts hot... complete panty ruiners. I can't wait to read more from London Hale.

Short, quick read, though it was very hot with a good story. This was a nice break from other galleys I've been reading. Really liked Dean/Elliot and Sam. Good balance of story to steamy sex.
