This book in my opinion was not written well. It couldn't keep my interest and there were plot holes and it was just honestly annoying

Shut the front door!
The cliffhanger queen strikes again...

Piper delivers a fast-paced, easy to read, forbidden romance with intriguing characters.

I'm a little torn to be honest.
Sawyer and Olivia intrigue me and I can't deny I want to see where they end up. However, I don't feel like I have the same connection I normally do with Piper's characters. Perhaps it's because I've been immersed with the Jameson family for so long that those ties are hard to break?

The variety of characters and their personalities are a plus in this book.
Uptight parents with an agenda, carefree students who play darts and drink beer—there definitely is a wide scope.

While I enjoy the dynamics between the dorm mates, I sense we have only just dipped our toes into the identity of Liv.
I feel as if Olivia is going to take just as long as Sawyer to share her secrets with us.

Whatever they are, I'm in!
Connor and Vanessa did a fabulous job with narration.

I NEED THE NEXT BOOK NOW!!!

Crave is the third book in the trilogy, so be warned if cliffhangers are not for you!

Sawyer and Olivia meet one night and are instantly attracted to each other. They never expect to walk into class days later and bump into each other - not as students, but as Sawyer being Olivia's professor. They try and stay away from each other, but let's be serious. These two were never going to stay away from each other!

Sawyer is a hard character to love as you can tell that he definitely has some secrets up his sleeve. Which we definitely find out in the very last chapter.

This book definitely has me hooked and wanting more. I love the student/professor vibe.

The narrators in this book were fantastic - Vanessa Edwin and Connor Crais are amazing narrators and definitely did these characters justice!

Can't wait to read more.

Crave is the first installation of the Off-Limits trilogy by Piper Lawson. Olivia Barclay is getting ready to start her junior year of college as an engineering major. She’s always done everything to live up to her parents expectations, but when she finds out her ‘perfect’ boyfriend isn’t so perfect, she finally lets loose a little. During her night out with her friends, she meets a guy who is the perfect distraction, or at least he is until Olivia finds out that he is her new professor. Will Olivia and Sawyer be able to keep things completely professional or is the pull between the two of them too much to resist?

From the beginning of this book I was hooked. I always love a good college romance and this one pulled me in. I really like the characters of Olivia and Sawyer and their chemistry was so good. The student/professor angle is just what you’d expect, but I think it was nicely done. I am not a huge fan of trilogy romances and would have loved to see a resolution in one book, but I am definitely going to keep reading on. I look forward to seeing what the second part of this trilogy holds. If you are looking for a good, quick college romance this is worth the try!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an audiobook version of this book!

I don’t know how I never came across Piper Lawson until now. I absolutely love the Student/Professor Trope and boy am I a sucker for it. She brought her A game when it came to Crave. I cannot wait to see what happens next with Collide.

3/5 Stars

This was a quick read, but I wish this had more spice in here. There were some, but I feel like it could have had more. I really liked Olivia. She was reaching a point where she was all done pleasing people. I loved the little bits of Andy that we got. I just wish there was more romance in here. I just wanted more.
