 this one is definitely creepy. I have two main issues. One of those got addressed a bit in the first book, but it also ties into the second, so I'm including it here: 
 (view spoiler)[(1) James does not fully understand what he's getting into. Again, this gets addressed in book 1, BUT, it ties directly into the fact that (2) Carson should fucking know better and actually communicate with his desperate 20 yr old student as opposed to telling him he can say no at any time when he's already pantsless and horny and being smacked with a ruler. Like. You're (a) the dom and (b) older than him, so you should know that you need to actually have some real communication not spring it on the kid! (hide spoiler)] 
 I did like it, but the more I think about it the more annoyed I get at the situation and the fact that the characters don't communicate well enough.
