Fresh out of university herself, when Claire Lanh moved from California to Chesterfield Pennsylvania to fill the position of Professor of Philosophy at the prestigious St. Lucia University, she'd expected a fairytale ending in an Ivy League setting. What she wasn't counting on was falling in love with her gorgeous student, and resident psychic, Daniel Kang.
Just twenty-three, Daniel is the son of a wealthy Korean Manufacturing Conglomerate, currently on the run from a mysterious team of government scientists who want to claim his unusual powers for their own. After his elder brother goes missing, he is whisked away to the United States where he is hidden in the quiet town of Chesterfield. He lives his life in relative peace, until an easily flustered, plus-sized, Blasian takes over his least favorite course.
No matter what she does, she can't get Daniel to pay attention in her class and his troublemaking ways are making her already difficult job all that more treacherous. And once he volunteers to help her with her work after school, a whole new can of worms is opened. With her career on the line and his life in danger at every turn, can they learn to coexist? Can Claire resist the charms of the man that literally everyone wants, who will stop at nothing to have her? Or will a single bad grade destroy them both?
*Daniel Kang was very much inspired by Korean actor Park Bo Gum. If you're a fan of Bo Gum and other Korean actors, check out more Kdrama/Kpop inspired stories, novels and graphics by Author A.C. Greenlee at acgreenlee.com!
Bad Grades Reviews

I read this on a different platform and it was awesome.

I have to admit, at first I wasn't interested in this book because the typical teacher/student relationship schtick doesn't interest me, but I'm glad I gave it a chance. The first couple chapters start off with the forbidden relationship plot, then luckily Greenlee comes through and delivers the supernatural spin that I've come to love from her other works.
I especially love the alternating POV from the male and female leads. Initially I was annoyed by the sometimes excessive inner monologue but then I realized that the character suffers from anxiety and how it is written makes sense and is true to the character. After reading the entire story, it's refreshing to have a character that isn't cocky and confident and doubts her decisions, it's very true to people with anxiety.
The last two thirds of the book are action packed and fast paced and I got sucked in by the end. I would have liked to see Daniel use his powers even more, so that I could better understand the different types of psychics, but only because I'm more into the action than the romance plot. The story ends with the satisfactory romance ending, however is left open for a sequel. I for one, am interested in seeing what kind of trouble Daniel and Claire get into next. And there better be powers. Glad I gave this book a shot and can't wait to read more. -
Truly enjoyable
Some of the scenes were laugh-out-loud funny: a smart mouth student and a philosophy nerd, after all. But I was hooked by some of the emotionally evocative descriptive or inner thoughts of the heroine. This author is solid; she just needs some editing assistance (typos, autocorrect shenanigans). -
I really likes this book and have red it twice.
I gave it a five because it has a different plot from all the other AMBW books I have read (and I have read a lot of AMBW). The twist at the end is good.
But most importantly, the writing was excellent! The flow was excellent. I was really impressed by the quality of writing.
