Review: To Love and Obey – Vera Roberts

Nicholas D’Amato is one of the best and hardest professors at NYU, always encouraging his students to do their best. He’s also very popular with some of his female students, rarely turning down an offer for a blow job. But when his professional life gets blurred with his personal one by a new grad student, Nicholas must get to the root of the problem – and become her personal instructor.

Zerrin Campbell is time-poor. As a grad student at New York University’s famed English program, she doesn’t have time for a boyfriend or even a one-night stand, much to the chagrin of her girls. It’s not that she didn’t want to date; she didn’t know what guy would be able to handle what she wanted to explore – a submissive in training. However, a chance encounter with Nick one night opens the consensual exploration that benefits both of them.

To Love and Obey is the second story in the D’Amato Brothers series. It is a sensual/erotic book that deals with the complicated nature of a D/s relationship, BDSM, and overcoming obstacles to achieve personal and professional happiness.

To Love and Obey is the second book in the D’Amato Brothers series by Vera Roberts. While this book is part of a series, it can be read and enjoyed as a standalone novel.

Nicholas D’Amato is a popular English Professor at NYU who is also know as the hardest. Nick enjoys blurring the lines between professional and personal. His new grad student seems to inspire him to make changes to his normal behavior. I found Nick very down to earth.

Zerrin Campbell is a graduate student at NYU and works as a teaching assistant to Professor Nicholas D’Amato. Zerrin comes across as a woman who seems to know who she wants to be but struggles to achieve it. It seems to take Nick within a D/s relationship for her achieve it.

The connection between Nicholas and Zerrin is intense. I enjoyed seeing Nick and Zerrin try to make their relationship work. It was very believable. The sex scenes were blistering. I loved that they spent time as Nick and Zerrin and stepped out of their D/s roles.

I found this story very well written with a realistic plot overall. The main characters and the secondary characters were interesting. The ending of the story was a bit predictable but I enjoyed seeing the natural progression they story had. Overall, this was a fabulous story.
