First time eARC reader, long time bibliophile. I went into this book COMPLETELY blind, not knowing what to expect and it was such a thrill! Um, chapter 7? Holy smokes! And it only gets hotter from there. I don’t know how much I’m allowed to say on Goodreads, but it’s been a while since a spicy book has made me feel a certain way… It has everything I look for in a book. Delicious banter between FMC and MMC, romantic suspense, reformed playboy, whodunit mystery that’s easy to follow, strong female lead, decent plot to spice ratio, and a cliffhanger that had me immediately downloading the next book onto my Kindle.

Thank you to Good Girls PR and Roxy Sloane for my eARC copy.

4.5⭐️ This was a crazy good, spicy, read! High society, secret clubs, swanky sex lounges, a prestigious college backdrop, semi-mystery vibes… the works!
Tessa is hunting down the man who hurt her sister so bad that she was driven to suicide. Tessa rearranges her entire life for this pursuit and everything else is left in her wake. When she meets a drop dead gorgeous professor who is the heir to Ashford university, she bulldozes right over him, leaving him intrigued.
Saint and Tessa are explosive and it’s quite nice to see that Saint the well known college professor rake, is the one who is the pursuer here! We even get an early spicy scene at around 20%. And the diiiirty talkkkk??!! Whew!!!!

Was a little hesitant with this book at first. I love the premise and the MMC, Professor 🔥 Saint. But truthfully there were moments I wanted to shake Tessa, our lovable and determined FMC. She’s on a quest for revenge & ends up stumbling into a steamy romance with a hot and rich Duke, and she’s really trying to resist??? Um girl. Please. I would’ve folded so fast for Saint. Literally confessed all my sins & the whole plot, just for some smooches 😂 but I know she’s grieving, so I’ll cut her some slack and hope for her to come to her senses in the next two books lmao.
slow-paced
