I have not read a professor student romance novel before. We, Romance novel readers love cocooning ourselves in the lives of the central pair. Practical Professor Cavanaugh and Emily Peterson who is catching up to the `eight ball' resuming college after six years of baby sitting her siblings.
University is a time and setting where paths cross a lot. So its not surprising that they bump into each other often at the mechanic's, cafeteria, part-time workplace and ofcourse the classroom where the introductory relation takes off and morphs.
Most of the times we end up identifying with the heroine, drowning the hero's voice but in this novel, I could switch easily into the hero's point of view too.
Given the hero's position we would expect that it would take another business magnate for sparks to fly. Kind of like the Darcy Vs Lawyer Counterpart, but in the end he goes for the opposite Bridget Jones.
Emily is none of that yuppie, go-getter while our professor is also a business man, which means he is like the Joe Fox of the movie You've Got Mail where a move is `not personal, its business'. Their dates too are semi-formal-informal. As in most Romance novels, there is a lot of trouble personal as well as professional created by both parties. Their learning curve goes through crest and troughs before they can reach the final destination of HEA

I learnt a new idiom in this book neither hide nor hair. While writing this review, I looked online on how to review a Romance novel. How to Write Romance Novels helped me check to see and categorize the main elements of the novel.
