Publisher's summary

ISO: Ways to tame a grumpy professor who likes to throw things, growls commands, and is a decade older. Oh, and he’s also the boss. Asking for a friend.

Professor Gabriel Morgan is in southern Missouri for one reason: to repair his relationship with his brother. It is definitely not to make friends or coddle the teaching assistants the university throws at him. Benjamin Carter is young, barely competent, and more trouble than he’s worth. He’s also fun and charming and stunningly beautiful.

Gabriel’s goal of getting Benji to quit isn’t as easy as he expects. Instead of cowering, Benji either tells Gabriel exactly what he thinks or, worse still, flirts outrageously. It’s maddening and so very tempting.

Benji has no desire to be Professor Morgan’s latest failed TA, but grumpy older men are his weakness. And beneath that gruff exterior, Professor Morgan is sweet and good and so very passionate. Benji doesn’t do relationships; he has too much to lose. But for Gabriel he might just take that chance.

They’re both holding on to their secrets—Benji’s present and Gabriel’s past. But these things have a way of coming out. Is this thing between them real? And are they willing to risk everything to find out?

My (Not So) Grumpy Professor is a 75,000+ MM contemporary romance. It is the second book in the (Not So) University series but can be listened to as a standalone. It features a grumpy bear professor, a cinnamon roll TA, meddling best friends, an antique desk that is very sturdy indeed, mending brotherly bonds, brutal tequila nights, a schedule loving roommate—seriously, Atticus needs to calm the F down—did I mention meddling best friends? And Gem and Sadie, two unimpressed goldfish swimming around and minding their own business.

Lovely listen

This audiobook was a delight to listen to. These two characters both have trouble committing, so it becomes a tad crazy when they find feelings. I love this series!

Poor Gabriel!!

I’ve never seen an author gaslight their own character, but there’s a first time for everything… I’m still not sure what on earth gave everyone the idea they had the right you think Gabriel had been in the wrong and why he’s the one who had to be punished. They even convinced HIM that was true. Master class manipulation!

Not so grumpy afterall

Love the mix of the two characters - Gabriel who is the "not so" grumpy professor. He is accused often of yelling and throwing things. I love that he has his soft side. He loves his brother and loves antiques. Then there is Benji who is his complete opposite as he is full of sunshine and rainbows. I love the added complexity to his character. Kevin Earlywine does a great job with providing an added accent for Benji to bring this story to life. Enjoying continuing the series.

Benji and Gabriel

My (Not So) Grumpy Professor is Book 2 in the Not So Studious University series. Professor Gabriel Morgan is a grumpy professor and is only in town to repair his relationship with his brother who also happens to be a professor at the same university. Benjamin Carter applies to be Professor Morgan's TA and refuses to let the man drive him to quit or fire him. I really enjoyed these two characters from the very beginning. Benji has every desire to bring sunshine to the professor and in the process have his way with him. Gabriel tries so hard to resist, as he is ten years older than Benji, but in the end Benji wins out, but there are rules. Rules they both enjoy breaking. I love all the drama in this book, so much emotion. Benji faces his challenges, Gabriel faces his past, and together they face the future. I definitely recommend this book and series.
Narrator Kevin Earlywine does a fabulous job. He has an easy to listen to voice and a way of bringing these characters to life.

Good Story

I enjoyed Gabriel and Benji's story. I really like enemies to lovers and age gap stories. I enjoyed how it was done here. It was a little difficult to get into this story because of the narrator. The narrator is new to me, and he did an okay job. His accent and voice speed was a little jarring.

Hot and Cold

Benji is adorable!!! I loved the balance he brought to Gabriel's grump. This was the perfect amount of grumpy/sunshine for this age gap romance. I loved the amount of Professor in the roleplay as well. There was a lot of hot and cold signals between the MCs, but it worked out for a sweet HEA in the end.
I HATED the narration speed on this. I had to speed it up to 1.21X to get through it. I understand it's supposed to be set in Missouri, but southern doesn't mean slow motion. After speeding it up, I really enjoyed this book.

Student Professor story with a side of angst

This one took me a while to get into. At first I found the story a little slow but then the drama showed up and that helped. I love angst. This one has it but it's not over the top or a lot. It's mostly because the main characters don't talk about stuff and jump to conclusions. Gabriel is a professor who needs an aid. In walks Benji. Benji is a ray of sunshine while Gabriel is a dark cloud. The two of them have things in their past that keeps them from wanting a relationship but they aren't opposed to hooking up. They have rules though. But rules are made to be broken... The characters also have an age gap. Kevin Earlywine is a new narrator to me. He did a good job with the narration. I was never confused with who was speaking.

Highly enjoyable listen

Benji and Gabriel have nothing in common on paper but they sure are explosive in person. Gabriel is a grumpy set in his ways 35 year old professor trying to rebuild a relationship with his brother. Benji is assigned as TA to him by the Dean. Gabriel fights him at every opportunity but he is no match for Benji’s sunshine self. Some very funny moments in this enemies to lovers and boss/employee. I highly enjoyed this one, maybe even more so than book 1. Kevin Earlywine is a great choice in voicing these characters. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this audiobook.

Very cute

I am not a fan of enemies-to-lovers books, so I was worried that this book was one of those. I’m glad I was wrong! Benji and Gabriel didn’t quite like each other at first, but that quickly changed to lust then to love. This was a sweet and cute story, and I was very glad that a certain jerk got punched out! The only thing I didn’t love was all of the angst about the age difference! Benji was 25, not 18, and Gabriel was only 35. Recommended!
