I absolutely loved this. It was so much more than just a book about a professor/student sex relationship, it blossomed into needing someone so much more and being able to leave your past behind you. James really developed into a good man and into someone that could be worthy of Penny in his eyes. I really really enjoyed reading!

DID NOT FINISH: 64%

This book was so disappointing. I read Penny’s versions a few years back and I remember loving them. But if she called him Professor Hunter one more time, I was going to lose it. And the grade thing? I did not remember that being so cringe. Not only that but I found him to be incredibly whiny and insecure. It became so repetitive that I started skimming and eventually just had to stop. 

Reading it from his perspective definitely turned the situation creepy. It started to seem predatory especially because of how many times he commented on her innocence. I’m sorry, but I was more than half way done and I could not push through.

This was the first in the Hunted series that I read. It got me to read the others. I prefer it from his POV so far. Ends on a cliffhanger.
