Ivy is a genius

I was nervous for this book. The opportunity for it to be boring was very likely because it's the same story just being told differently but honestly I love it when I am wrong. Ivy did a fantastic job giving us the taste of temptation while making it a completely new book. I don't think anyone truly understands how much pain James is in until now. His heart bleeds in this book. I also love how Ivy gave James a tone completely different from Penny making his character really come to life in his own way. Well done Ivy this book is fantastic.
On a side note there has never been a character I have hated more than Isabella she freaking sucks.
I highly recommend this book to everyone!

If you thought Temptation was steamy, just wait until you get into Professor Hunter’s head

It was interesting to hear James’s take on how everything unfolded in the first book!

I was so excited when I heard we were getting James’ POV ☺️ But I’ll be honest it’s been years since I’ve read Temptation so it was like going in blind.
James has had a painful past. He’s done things he’s not proud of, he doesn’t trust people, and he keeps to himself. Penny is a shy college student or finds herself falling for her professor.
James tries to fight his feelings for Penny. He believes he is no good for her. You see his struggles, his pain, and his love throughout the book.
Like the majority of Ivy’s books she leaves you wanting more! This cliffhanger is a shocker, seriously need book 2 now.

It was good. Didn't realise this was a series and that this specific book was the first book again but from the mans POV but it was still good.

Ended on a cliffhanger but didn't grip me enough to want to immediately jump into the series.

Spice level was good!

DID NOT FINISH: 60%

I read this before and finished it but never reviewed. Upon rereading it, I realized it was more smut than plot. I’m usually in that type of mood so it doesnt usually matter; however, at this time, I’m wanting to read books that give me more. It’s not a bad book, but it also isn’t the best. Also, the MMC is a big pervert. I mean they’re both consenting adults but it’s still mildly creepy.

3.5 stars!

I thought this book was familiar. I've read the other book years ago. I love him with his cook and his security. I don't like the cliffhanger. I also felt this it was too short and there's barely anything happened? Could've combine into one book. Nevertheless looking forward to read next book.

Obsessed was a good title for this book.

I came across an ad for Obsessed as I was scrolling through Facebook one day and thought it sounded interesting. Interesting was definitely a good word for the book. I felt like the book started off pretty good but I started getting slightly annoyed. Professor James Hunter is definitely OBSESSED with Penny Taylor. Lol. I honestly got tired of reading Penny Penny Penny.. he seemed to consume himself with her. Lol Kinda got a little creepy and made me wonder if he did the same to other women in his “dark past” he keeps mentioning. I also haven’t read a series in a while that is focused on one set couple so I felt like the book dragged on, not really getting anywhere but the author is just setting the tone for the series..the couple will have more books so why rush the story!The book was still a good book considering, I have already downloaded the second book that seems to be in Penny’s POV with the First being in his. I almost skipped it because I didn’t really want to redo the story, I want to know what “the devil” did to him! Lol but I don’t want to read out of line. I will say… there are plenty of steamy parts in the book. (: If you are looking for steamy, this is the one for you. Can’t wait to see where Penny and Professor Hunter go now that he finds out her little secret. On to the next one..
