Two strangers. One secret encounter. A whole lotta forbidden chemistry.
It was supposed to be an anonymous thrill, fueled by raw desire.
No strings, just the escape we both craved.The last thing I need is complications, especially from a casual hookup. That was the plan.
Except now, he's not just some guy from a night I can't forget. He's in front of my class...teaching it. Turns out life has some unexpected lessons in store for me, and my professor is holding the syllabus.
Suddenly, what was supposed to be simple is anything but.
Our connection is too intense, and the stakes are way too high—his career, my recovery, our futures.
Every class is a battle against temptation, every glance a spark threatening to ignite.We know it's reckless, yet the magnetic pull between us is irresistible. I'm not just battling the ghosts of my past but also the fear that everything I've worked so hard to rebuild might crumble.
He has everything to lose, and so do I. But when surrender feels this right, walking away becomes the toughest test of all.
I received this book for free from Author in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
I absolutely can not ever get enough of Neve Wilder’s books.
not. e. nuff.
I love the writing, I love the characters, I love the banter and the sex and the side characters and the plots and basically I love Neve Wilder so much all the days.
The most romantic meet cutes always start at a glory hole.
amiright
Cam and Grady’s sure did.
It was actually wonderful. So hush.
I think it goes without saying that this book is chock full of adult content.
Insta-lust, magnetic connection, chemistry that is completely off the charts, a silly little misunderstanding that leads to a lot of big feelings and some hot make out seshes, some pretty high stakes and just enough angst to get me feeling the feels but not enough to make me ugly cry. It was perfect. *chef’s kiss*
Cam is in college, recovering from some bad choices he made in his freshman year. He’s dedicated to graduating and is diligent about staying out of trouble. Which inherently means he’s not dating, or partying, or doing anything other than working and going to class. He decides to go dancing one night (DRY) and gets a wild hair and uses said glory hole in the bathroom stall he is using. My buddy Cam thinks to himself, well then, that was fun, and anonymous and also thrilling. Somehow he ends up finding the same dude again the next time he goes to the club and then they exchange numbers- anonymously of course.
Grady is Cam’s professor at college……… can you see where this is going? Grady is coming out *literally and figuratively* of a marriage that ended (predictably) in divorce (he is queer). Anyway, Grady also went dancing and then stuck his wiener in a glory hole and really enjoyed that encounter.
OBVIOUSLY we all know that they don’t realize the other person is the Glory Hole Guy and shenanigans ensue. Cam’s into it, Grady’s not, there’s a little back and forth but the entire book is super sweet and they are truly too cute to handle. The sex scenes are steamin’ hot and the banter between the two men (and all their friends) is hilarious.
As usual, Never Wilder brought out the big guns and really nailed this installment in the Extracurricular Activities series.

It’s definitely not required to enjoy the series, all the books can be read as standalones. But you will definitely enjoy them more if you start with Want Me.
Emily is a coffee loving, cat snuggling, hairstylist and book-a-holic.
Having always been a voracious reader and devouring books at a breakneck speed, joining the bookish and blogging community seemed like a natural next step. She loves giving recommendations to friends and family and then very gently (and not forcefully at all) asking for their opinions after they complete each chapter.
Her reviews tend to be goofy, a little sweary, on the more impassioned side and maybe sometimes a little self deprecating.
Emily typically enjoys reading almost every genre, including (but not limited to) monster romance, literary fiction, rom-com, contemporary, LGBTQ+, low/urban fantasy, paranormal, dystopian, sci-fi, gothic romance or basically any book that will make her cry.
