In PROFESSOR FEELGOOD, Asha Tate is working at a struggling publishing house in need of their next mega bestseller. Junior editors have been given the challenge of finding that golden egg to secure a promotion. Asha stumbles on an Instagram-famous dude with a massive following who’s using the platform to work through the drama of his last breakup. And the lightbulb goes on over her head: this guy with the abs and a philosopher’s soul, who never shows his face, could be the hit the publishing house needs.
At face value, PROFESSOR FEELGOOD looks like a pretty standard girl meets Instagram-boy kind of love story, but ohhhhhhh no. Leisa Rayven isn’t serving up run of the mill, regular woman meets quasi-celebrity and falls in love. Once Asha nabs the deal and the Professor’s identify is revealed to her IRL….OH BOY. There’s history and it’s not pretty.
So what is this? Enemies-to-lovers? Second-chance romance? A slow-burn? Check, check and check.
With no choice but to work together on a tight timeline to get the book written, edited and to market, Asha and the Professor are deliciously forced to confront the past to get the work done. It’s raw and complicated and emotional and capital ‘A’ Angsty. Clap it out with me. “Angst, yeah, yeah, we got angst. Yeah, yeah, we got angst. A-N-G-S-T. Angsty!”
All that angst and airing out of past grievances paves the way to an epic payoff.
PROFESSOR FEELGOOD has a totally different feel than Mister Romance (review), the first book in the Masters of Love series. While it’s definitely heavier than readers might expect, it’s a super satisfying turn with real, emotional depth.
