Disciplinary Action by Onley James

«Gideon made him feel small and vulnerable and… protected, but out in the real world, Cal had learned a long time ago that there was nobody who would protect him. Still, this charade was nice. It was nice to imagine somebody caring for him, looking out for him.»
I do love a sad-boy moment. There’s plenty of it in this one.
This book has 13 sex scenes. If you want something smutty with kinky Daddy/boy sex and a third-act plot instead of a third-act breakup, this is definitely the one for you.
I would have enjoyed it a lot more if the eventual plot was expanded on throughout the book, and not just added as what felt like an afterthought, almost. I mean, it’s well-written smut with some fun moments as well as some sad moments, so of course I enjoyed it, but there is something as too much of a good thing.
See below quote for a short book summary:
«“In my defense, I was sleeping with the student before you asked me to be the school’s interim headmaster. Also, I didn’t know he was in high school since he was a nineteen-year-old sex worker when we met.”»
4 stars if I rate it as what it is. Good smut.

«“You are pushing your luck, you little tease. Don’t think for a second I won’t pull off on the next exit and get a room just to spank your bottom until you beg me to stop.” Cal gasped in mock horror. “No. Please. Don’t,” he muttered, deadpan.»
«“You are relentless and impossible to surprise.” “Well, other than last night, the only surprises I’ve ever gotten usually involved me being punched in the face, either literally or metaphorically, so yeah, surprises aren’t really my thing.”»
