Some of you have specifically asked for this list, and/or made excellent book recommendations for it. Wonderful idea!! I happily gathered what I could find (and what you’ve suggested), right here.
Kylie: I just finished A Season of Eden and as much as I enjoyed it, it was a bit toned down for my liking. So I thought… what about a new category, we’ve had rock stars and mob men. How about teacher/professor student relationships, I have to say I think this is a great idea!!
Karen: The gist of the story is this: William Honor is Emma’s (very young) college professor that she is crushing on. (I think she is 21 and he is 25). The attraction is mutual and William acts on it because he always gets what he wants… Honor Student is really just like the introduction to the characters and the situation because, coming from Emma’s POV, she really has no idea what she is getting into. On the other hand, Honor Thy Teacher is a wild roller-coaster ride that will have your heart pounding triple-time from beginning to end!! Of course we don’t really want a William in our life, but as far as fantasy crushes go – with his dark looks and tattoo that wraps around his back – he ranks right up there with the best of them!!!
This was a difficult list to create because often, the teacher student forbidden romance plot is a “surprise” that you’re not supposed to see coming, and I’ve had to check out a few spoilers a bit, to uncover these.
DO NOT LOOK DOWN if you like to be surprised reading a romance book, when that *oomph* hits you and you realize that you’ve just entrenched yourself in a “forbidden love” book. Personally I love going into a book having no idea I’m going to hit a “touchy/controversial/shocking NO.WAY! moment” (within reason… I much prefer “shock-value” moments to be between “18 and overs”. However… that is not always the case below).
I’ve had to break my personal “no spoiler” rules here to make this list now that I’ve discovered much of this “genre”. But I’ll live. I’m sure they’ll be just as exciting, I just won’t be “as shocked” when I hit that moment. Or, I’ll purge these from my mind and hope to come across them in a “surprise” way. Yah. That’ll work. 
Ummm… unless I use this list. And then. My plot has been foiled!
Of course, some are blatantly obvious in their subject matter… but some really are supposed to take the reader by surprise. In fact, I remember reading a book not too long ago (some of you may know which one I’m referring to…. ), having no clue and it was one of THESE!!! Ohhhhh yesssss!! I was delighted because I didn’t even see it coming. So I know. This is hard to choose from ’cause you might lose that element of surprise picking out of this list. You might want this genre of book, but you might prefer going into it having no idea that it’s one of those. If that’s the case, don’t look down. If you absolutely feel like reading one of “these” then by all means.. scroll down and choose one. Oh!! And if you know of any more, send ‘em my way and I’ll add them below.

I am happily addicted to reading but I need to expend my book energy (especially when one puts me in an emotional frenzy - SO fun!). So, I release my feelings about the stories, by writing them down here. It's my book therapy. 
{ 31 comments… read them below or add one }
I really liked Preservation by Rachael Wade too!
Great list as always, Maryse! As a teacher, I shiver at the thought, but secretly (in the closet) loved some of these books. Don’t forget about On the Island! Teacher or tutor/student that I absolutely adored!
You missed On the Island by Tracey Garvis-Graves!!
OH YES!!!!! Alicia & Kathy. Of course!!! YAY!
YES Jaymi thank you!! Good catch!
Love the Honor Series by Teresa Mummert!!
Shouldn’t Easy by Tammara Webber be on here? One of my faves!
I just finished Losing It by Cora Carmack and it fits perfectly in this list! Loved it!!!
Yep Rena!! It does fit here. Thanks!
Thanks Christy, I’m putting it on the list!
Maryse, These look yummy. Thanks for another great list.
How about “The Good Student” by Elliot Mabeuse – I ran across this one as an audiobook from my local library. It is very heavy on the D/s relationship if you can handle that kind of thing!
Thanks Traci!! I added it
I really liked the book “Out of Time” by Monique Martin. This has a professor, former student who is now his assistant and vampires. I would really recommend and book # 2 is out now.
Here’s one to add to your list:
The Sweetest Taboo by Eva Marques
HS girl and her teacher who is married and with a child.
Here’s one to add to your list:
Sweetest Taboo by Eva Marquez
HS girl and her married teacher who also has a child.
Holy Sheep!! AWESOME list
I just read Losing It tonight! I loved it! Funny and emotional!
I just read Flander’s Point. I can’t remember the author name, but it was actually pretty good.
Ok I added the new suggestions, and now I’ve got to check out “Losing it”. I squawked with delight when I read that synopsis!
Ok all I’ve got to say is OMG “Losing It” was brilliant! LOVED it!! Practically perfection for me!
Just finished When Summer Ends and it was really good!
A few more to add: “Drowning Instinct” by Ilsa J. Bick, “Seduce Me” by Jessica Lambert and “Want” by Stephanie Lawton
and a few more:
“Half-Blood (Covenant #1)” by Jennifer L. Armentrout
“The Rehearsal” by Eleanor Catton
“Love Lessons” by Jacqueline Wilson, Nick Sharratt
“Love Lessons” by David Belbin
“Taming the Beast” by Emily Maguire
Thank you! All of the new ones you’ve suggested have been added!
What about On The Island? I know it’s really not teaching but it involves a teacher and student….? I just loved that book.:)
What about Prey by Lurlene McDaniel and Boy Toy by Barry Lyga I’ve read these both and they are really good!
I love your site, and this was a great list! This is one of my favorite storylines. Gabriel’s Fire and Gabriel’s Inferno is my favorite among the ones listed.
I love your website and this list. Student/teacher is one of my favorites, along with older man/younger woman. That would be another good list.
I just started reading “So Many Reasons Why” Book 1 by Missy Johnson.
Twenty-year old agoraphobic girl attacked as a child hasn’t left her house in 10 years. She begins an innocent email chat with her Professor and the story builds from there.
So far it feels pretty authentic. I’m intrigued to see where it goes. See what you think. It’s $1.03 right now.
Captive in the dark & seduced in the dark.
Extremely dark series hence the name but SO GOOD !!!
The sequel to Preservation is out now, its called Reservation by Rachael Wade.
I enjoyed the first book but it isn’t one of my all time favourites.
Thank you for this list, I love teacher/student angst filled books
