Ian and Ben meet during the summer on vacation and quickly hit it off. Ben doesn’t realize until Ian that he is submissive and into Daddy/boy kink. Ian already knew this about himself. I don’t prefer the D/b dynamic but this was not OTT and quite light. They part ways and don’t exchange information.

Surprisingly (not to the reader) they meet again at school, with Ian as a professor and Ben as a student but not one of Ian’s. Eventually they pursue a friend’s with benefits relationship for a brief time but feelings quickly become involved.

I appreciated the low angst of this book, and even how quickly I was able to read it. But after their relationship dynamic changes the timeline jumps in large chunks, so we don’t really get to see them dating much, which was disappointing since this is a romance.

The discord near the end between Ben and Ian just did not sit right with me, but I don’t want to go into it and give away too many details. It just seemed forced.
