Book 4 of 5: Nerds Who Knot

See all formats and editions

Professor Damien Ringdal has a heat latch.

Sometimes alphas who have been working as a heat companion for an extended period of time develop an uncontrollable urge to bond. AKA, a heat latch. AKA, a huge problem. Especially because his uncontrollable urges seem to be directed at his student, Tatum Bloom.

Tatum has a crush.

He can’t be the first undergraduate to notice how ridiculously handsome Professor Ringdal is. But Tatum assumes nothing will come of it. After all, Damien’s twelve years older than him and not the kind of man who would ever date his student. Until the night Damien shows up on his doorstep, and gives him a kiss Tatum won't ever forget.

In a world where medical complications sometimes feel like love, how will Damien know the difference? And how will Tatum protect his heart from the perfect man while Damien figures it out?

The Heat Professor is a professor/student age-gap romance set in the omegaverse with MPreg, knotting, and nesting. It’s book four in the Nerds Who Knot series, and will make more sense if you’ve read the other books in the series. This edition includes a bonus story.

Probably one of my favorites

Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2022

If you want the short and sweet review, this book is beautiful. It's emotional and heartfelt. Damian's omega mother is a riot and it's beautifully smutty. Go read it. Now I'm going to rant.

So I was not emotionally ready to read this book for a long time. What Tatum goes through with his mom hit way too close to home for me. Tatum as a whole hit way too close to home if I'm being honest. I've always said that I've related to Ansel the most out of all of Amy's characters but Tatum and I have a little too much in common. Point is, this book was a lot for me. So while it is relatively low angst I may or may not have clutched my chest in pain once or twice. And all those moments have to do with Tatum.

And Damien? That man has no business being as perfect as he was in this book. Oftentimes when I read books that have a black male MC who is in the alpha/top role, it's borderline offensive how they're portrayed. Like, I know I shouldn't be because there are men who act like this and it's just a book but I low-key am. And admittedly, I had the tiniest fear that would have happened here. I should've had more faith in an author who has never let me down so that's on me.

For a book that is under 200 pages there's a lot packed in. It's heartfelt and emotional, it's funny and smutty, and a serious conversation is being had about sex work (which is real work and should be decriminalized btws). In a weird way that's probably one of my favorite things about Amy's books, how sex workers are treated and how the profession is talked about. Again, it hits close to home. This book has aged really well. I think it holds up and I think if you're into mpreg at all, you'll love it. It's not technically Amy's strongest book but it'll probably go down as one of my favorites. Five stars because I'm trash and that doctor better be getting an HEA.

I'm so happy after reading Tatum and Damien's story that I'm still smiling. It was beautiful and ephemeral in some way to me. Like there was an invisible tether between them...

Can a professor and his student actually be mates?

Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2019

Verified Purchase

I love this book! What a wonderful addition to the Nerds Who Knot series. This is not your traditional professor/student story. There are more twists and turns than usual on the road to HEA. You will love this book! Amy has created characters you really care about. She does a great job educating us about the sex worker dilemma in the omegaverse, making it blend right into the heady of the story. This is not a "preachy" book. It just takes the stigma off how we perceive sex workers in the omegaverse, and hopefully in our universe as well. What a great book!
This is Tatum and Damien's story. Damien is the heat professor; educating people on the history of sex work; advocating for their rights. A former heat companion, Damien knows how all-encompassing attraction can be. His pull towards Tatum is as relentless as it is "wrong". Tatum is his best student; intelligent, inquisitive, caring, and gorgeous. Tatum is a camboy, making money to pay for his mother's medical bills. Gwen had short term memory loss and needs constant care. Tatum is drawn to Damien, who stars in all his fantasies, and even in his camboy shows. Watch as these two men come together. You will be drawn into their world.
This book has it all: passion, compassion, wonderful families, moral dilemmas, homie and joy. You will fall in love with Gwen, Sharita, Abbie, and Marie. Yes, there are awkward moments, angst, revelations, and determined men. Yes there is sex. Really hot sex. Did I mention mpreg? Ooh, and a mom who writes erotic gay romance novels. What's not to love!
While this book stands alone, I recommend reading the first 3 books in the Nerds Who Knot series. The books are great! Also, characters from those books appear on this book, tying them together.
This book contains adult themes and language, mm sex, and is intended for mature readers only.

While I liked all the books in the series, this one is definitely my favorite (although Gabe and Marcus gave them a run for their money). Amy Bellows truly knows how to build relationships and characters. Tatum's vulnerability really spoke to me and I absolutely adore him. I also love that these relationships are solid. There's no jealousy or second guessing. No extra or unnecessary drama. While I fall hard for books, I don't normally cry and this story definitely brought a tear to my. I highly recommend the entire series and hope that there are more in the future!

A bit OTT but still enjoyable

Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2024

Getting an address or phone number without consent is a big pet peeve of mine. But I kept reading regardless. While these books are all set in the same world, each books seems to explore something different about alphas and omegas that don’t necessarily overlap with the other books. It does bring up thought provoking topics like sex work and gender identity/roles.

Another great read from Amy Bellows

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 17, 2024

If you read this series in order, then you will have met Damien, briefly, in The Bookmobile Baby (when Art considers hiring Damien to help Simon get pregnant). So we know about Damien's job as a Heat companion. He is a Professor and also a sex worker! And now he has a 'heat latch' an overwhelming urge to bond.
Tatum is one if Damien's students. He is also a sex worker (a cam boy) and has a difficult home situation with financial concerns and caring for his mum.
Despite the relationship being unethical, Damien is irresistibly drawn to Tatum. After an initial false start Damien attempts to get to know and date Tatum whilst being supervised by his omega mum and also attempting to get to know and potentially date other omegas.
I love the complexity of the characters and their situations and the family relationships. I love Damien and Tatum's date supervised by their mums and the friendship that develops between Sharita and Gwen and Sharita's calm way of dealing with Gwen's memory issues.
It is also very important that intersex children, and the decisions made for them when they are unable to consent themselves, are discussed more openly and awareness is arranged about this important and surprisingly common issue.

Sizzling

Reviewed in the Netherlands on May 15, 2022

I read the book when it was first released. Recently I listened to the audiobook narrated by Lance West. Lets just say the book was already so well written en has a lot of attraction and heat, but my headphones where for sure sizzling how high the heat went by the narrator his performance.9
I so loved this story mm age gap mpreg story. I always appreciate how there are parallels drawn on social issues at least in my mind, between our world and the world Amy Bellows creates.
Professor Damien, who worked as a heat companion and advocates, for those who have no voice, sexworkers etc., now seems to have a heat latch.
Tatum is a student, caregiver for his mom and camboy who has found an internship at the office where they advocate.
They feel an attraction, even in the clasdroom, but don't know if it is due to the heat latch and an upcoming heat for Tatum.
5* book, 5* narration, 5* overall

Great Take on Student-Teacher Romance

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 14, 2019

Verified Purchase

I really enjoyed Bellows' take on the common student-teacher romance. She really added her own interesting spin that made for a great story. While you could probably read this as a standalone, I wouldn't recommend it; Bellows has created a really interesting take on ABO on this series that needs the background info to full understand, and that I really like. In The Heat Professor we have Damien and Tatum. Interestingly, both characters are involved in the sex work industry. I liked this as I think its important to de-stigmatise. Damien is an alpha professor and "heat companion" - this means he helps omegas get through their often painful and debilitating heats in a safe and consensual manner. He meets omega Tatum who is a student in his class. Tatum is a student by day and camboy by night, desperately trying to put himself through school while caring for his mother. Both men are attracted to each other, but due to their positions and misunderstandings initially try to fight it. When their situation hits a catalyst both men are forced to accept and act on their attraction with explosive results. I really liked Damien's caring nature, and how hot and sweet Tatum was. I also LOVE Bellows' take on heat and nesting. The only thing keeping me from giving this book 5 stars is editing issues. There were several instances where words were missing and I find that really pulls me out of the story. I really look forward to more in this series.
