Study You (The Study You Series Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.5 out of 5 stars 718 ratings

One taste could never be enough…

It’s been months since Finn Ashton walked into Gillian Masters lecture, and by extension, her life…followed by another six weeks since their last, mind-blowing encounter. In Gillian’s office.
On her desk. Then the holidays came and went, and Gillian’s silence spoke louder than words. It was a one-time fling, too risky to repeat.

Finn gets it. With her life packed with architecture classes, a job, and a less-than-ideal home life, it’s no wonder the gorgeous,
seemingly confident Gillian wouldn’t want to risk her career on scratching an itch.

But when Finn takes a seat in Gillian’s lecture hall for a new semester, the undeniable gravity between them is still powerful. The moment their eyes meet, they both know their cravings are far from satisfied.

If they’re careful to leave their emotions out of it, they can give each other the desperately needed space to fill their deepest, darkest needs. But is their arrangement just harmless stress-release? Or an addiction that could leave their hearts—and lives—in pieces?

    Gillian Masters is a highly respected professor teaching at a prestigious university. She is going through a tough transition after divorcing her husband. His cheating and abuse had worn down her strength and endurance. Finn, her student, has been watching her every move and flirting shamelessly. The year will be a journey of discovery, opportunities and dreaming new possibilities. Loved it .

    Close to 5 stars. Spice could have been deeper and story line more or a progression…. the hidden relationship was just a constant give and take thru out and would have preferred more twists and turns… the dialogue is really good and the emotional aspect of ratio 5 star. Definitely will read more by this author.

    I love Melissa Tereze’s writing style and storytelling. This book has been a hot mess of desires, wants, needs and acceptance. Finn Ashton is a twenty five year old student finishing up a degree. But her focus right now is to get her Professor to want her. Gillian Masters can’t take her eyes off Finn. Everything about her is just her type. But she is going through a divorce and also Finn is her student regardless of her age which is a twenty year gap. But she wanted her ever since she appeared in her class. But when Finn hands her number on a piece of paper and says call her if she wants fun, Gillian is contemplating calling instead of going to her divorce celebration. What happens when her best friend gives her her approval to have fun and then Finn us at the bar they are celebrating in, things take a turn. The story is written so well, we have heat, we have need, but we have emotions and we have knowledge of doing the right thing. How these two women handle their lives going forward tears at your heartstrings. Can something considered so wrong feel this right? And then it ends. Come on Melissa, now we wait! So,So Good!

    This book was so sexy. Loved the characters. Wish there was a little bit more build up a little bit more teasing in the beginning, that the characters didn’t jump right in to it, I love a little more sexual tension but still really enjoyed it.

    This has got to be the steamiest Melissa Tereze book I've read! Wow!!

    Gillian and Finn's relationship is taboo - professor/student is widely frowned upon. However, they just can't help themselves. Thus begins their journey of desire, lust, passion, and love. It was a beautiful journey. Gillian has been through a lot, and Finn is just the perfect person for her. It wasn't an easy road traveled, but they got through it together. Loved this one!❤️

    The same drama, the same angst over and over again. It got very tedious and almost became a DNF. But I slogged through by skipping pages. The only redeeming quality were the sex scenes.

    After Finn and Gillian's night together they can't stop thinking about one another, but it's been 6 weeks and no communication. Finn takes that as a message, be happy with the one night. But when the semester starts and they see one another , they can't stay away. But Gillian is Finn's professor so they can't entertain a relationship. Or could they. Then Finn gives Gillian an estimate on her house renovations and she accepts it. So, even if they aren't together, they'll still see one another.
    Melissa knows how to weave an interesting and HOT tale! And I mean HOT! I wish I'd had a professor like Gillian!! Worth more than 5 stars!!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Finn & Gillian
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 15, 2025
    With an extra spicy sapphic age-gap storyline ‘Study You’ is another excellent novel from the very talented Melissa Tereze. Featuring an intense, forbidden affair between recently divorced professor, Gillian, and her gorgeously butch student Finn, the 20 year age gap seemingly no barrier to their attraction to one another. What should keep them apart is the fact of their teacher/student status. However, when Gillian finally throws logic out of the window and submits to Finn’s charms it starts a tumultuous relationship full of highs and lows, longing and guilt and absolutely lots and lots of mind blowing ‘physical connections’, which are regularly and explicitly described in this novel. Although there are a lot of things unresolved come the final page I’m confident that all will become clear in book 2 of the series, which I need to read next!
