Product Description

When twenty-two year old Jeremy West decided to take a few art classes in addition to his computer engineering degree, he had no idea that one of his professors would knock him off his feet. Professor Peter Foster, a young handsome and talented thirty-four year old professional artist, put Jeremy into heat every time he sat in his lecture hall or attended his sculpture class. Soon, Jeremy's good looks caught his teacher's eye. Finding a way to meet with him after class, Jeremy learns that the object of his desire is living with a young woman he married on one drunken night in Reno a year ago. A relationship becomes inevitable as the two find the physical attraction they share too much to deny. They begin a secret affair together until suspicion is aroused and rumors begin to circulate campus. A relationship between them was inevitable, but will Peter make the changes in his life to open the door for this new love? Or will he be simply just another favored student, the teacher's pet?

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, Jan 1 2009

By BhamGhostwriter "Patrick" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Teacher's Pet (Paperback)

This book was a total disappointment to me.

Over the last 2 or 3 years, I've bought a number of Ms. Hauser's books because her early "gay romance" novel - THE PHYSICIAN AND THE ACTOR - was such a 5-star standout in a genre which seems more and more defined by bad porn film dialogue and tired, ho-hum plots. A few of her more recent books - THE BOY NEXT DOOR, GIVING UP THE GHOST and FOR LOVE AND MONEY (worthwhile sequel to THE PHYSICIAN AND THE ACTOR) - have maintained the high quality of true romance evidenced in that first book. But now that she seems intent on publishing a book per month, others (for example: CRUISING, LOVE YOU LOVEDAY and - notably - TEACHER'S PET), come across as formulaic template with their only saving grace being that she does not usually give us the choppy, truly awful dialogue drivel ("Bed! Now! Want you now! Your hand! Here!") that other female authors in the M/M genre think of as typical gay pillow talk.

There was this beautifully balanced character interplay and sexual tension in THE PHYSICIAN AND THE ACTOR and the two guys (who WERE truly meant for each other) did not consummate their relationship until we had silently cheered them on for 200 pages. In TEACHER'S PET, the professor and his student have hopped into bed with one another after only 50 pages - way before the reader has gotten to really know them. I'm sorry but that's NOT romantic at all. And shouldn't a romance novel be, well, "romantic?"

As a mature gay male, I know I'm probably NOT the typical reader of or targeted audience for the recently developed (and possibly Yaoi influenced) M/M genre. I realize they're mostly written by women for other women. But, dammit, I just happen to like the idea of true romance in the lives of gay male couples to-be. It doesn't matter to me whether the splendor of romance and love-making is depicted by women authors like G. A. Hauser or by gay male authors such as Edward C. Patterson and J. G. Hayes (whose outstanding books, transcending M/M pulp, depict gay male love at its best, most believable - and, sometimes, most heartbreaking). After all I have identified with, read and loved the work of Patricia Nell Warren and Mary Renault over the years. As a gay male who reads perhaps 200 books a year, all I ask is that the characters, plot and dialogue ring true to me.

Hauser's THE PHYSICIAN AND THE ACTOR established itself as one of my favorite gay-themed novels. But most of her recent work hints that she has perhaps become more interested in the quantity of her work rather than its sustained quality. And that's a shame because she is truly capable of meaningful, memorable and literate story telling.

2.0 out of 5 stars Waste of time, don't waste your money, Mar 2 2010

By camille - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Teacher's Pet (Paperback)

Teacher's Pet is a paint-by-numbers formulaic piece of drivel. The male characters are at best two-dimensional, the plot is perfunctory, and even the sex cannot save this stale tale because the sex is boring. Boring sex? Yes, it is possible. Byt worse than that, it is ridiculous as the main character -- a young man of 22 goes in just a few minutes from being a shy virgin to being an aggressive top. Interestingly, given that the author is female and the audience for these books is largely female, is the fact that the portrayal of women in this book is deeply misogynistic. The women are either whores or harpies who drive the men to drink or to deep unhappiness. I stopped halfway through the book and have no urge to finish it.

2.0 out of 5 stars I would hope the author's other titles are not like this one., Mar 16 2012

This review is from: Teacher's Pet (Paperback)

Somewhat predictable/formulaic.
Female characters command no respect or aren't deserving of any.
The main character's relationship with his Art Professor felt very forced, and they both came across as more like gossiping teen-age girls than adult men. Even for being fictional the behavior exhibited by the Professor was unnecessarily immature - Fall in lust? Maybe. Fall in love? No.
