Honestly... I just got bored of this.
The writing style was enjoyable enough but I was expecting something completely different and the plot just seemed to rumble on without getting anywhere.

Have you ever read a book that had the perfect story and perfect ending but you just needed and wanted more? Because that is just what happened to me with Professor Feelgood.
Leisa Raven knows how to write a damn good book. I haven't read a bad one of hers yet. The whole second chance/unrequited/enemies to lovers romance this book had going on was insanely delicious. The characters were so so perfect. The writing was angsty and intense. Bonus points for being funny too! This book checked every single one of my boxes!
Buy it, devour it, enjoy it. Professor Feelgood lives up to his name. Yum!

It’s been forever since I’ve read Leisa Rayven, but she managed to blow me away every bit as much with Professor Feelgood as she did with Bad Romeo! Although and don’t hurt me for saying this, but I actually love the former more than latter, they’re both amazing books, but I just can’t help but love Jake and Asha’s story more. And trying to figure out the words to explain why that is seems almost impossible. Professor Feelgood is so full of wisdom and depth that you can’t not be touched by the words on the page or learn so much from these characters.
Professor Feelgood was like the ultimate romance novel — it had it all from the laugh-out-loud moments, the heart aching ones, the eyes-stinging-with-tears times, to the heartwarming-melting-gooey-gushy feelings. It was just the kind of book that made me think, it affected me deeply, and I fell in love with it wholeheartedly. It was truly a masterpiece and my favorite Leisa Rayven book for what feels like for now and forever. And I have a new favorite hero and he is one that I will never forget and I won’t forget his journey either — it was incredible.

I liked this story but I had a difficult time reading it in the beginning. Overall I enjoyed how the story played out and it was so sweet to see their relationship grow and progress throughout it. I loved their characters from mister romance were intertwined through the story. I felt like the issue of Jeremy and him cheating was quickly slept under the rug and my biggest question is- what happened on prom night? If Jake was in love with asha during that time already, why did he push her away? I think that was the only part of the story I felt confused and kind of felt missing. Great read with a very happy ending tho!
Really beautiful romance
Jake and Asha's story was so good. So full of lifelong love and angst. It surpassed the previous instalment for romance. The poetry was beautiful. And Moby Duck is always a pleasure.

Leisa Rayven has done it again!! PROFESSOR FEELGOOD is a beautifully written story full of gorgeous prose and just the right amount of angst!!
I can't even begin to explain this book to you in a way that fully describes it in all of it's glory. It has everything that you could ever imagine all wrapped up into one book. It's a lifelong love, enemies to lovers, mistaken identity, friends to lovers romance that will hit you with all of the feels!!
It was no surprise to me that I would fall for the hero, the mysterious Professor Feelgood, pretty quickly but I was kind of surprised about how mad I was at Asha and some of her choices for a majority of this book. I UNDERSTAND why she did some of the things that she did but I didn't like it. However, as the story proceeded and I get to know her and PF more, things start to make a lot of sense and I really found myself rooting for them.
Without a doubt my favorite part of this book was reading Professor Feelgood's poems/posts/excerpts and listening to him describe life, love, loss and trying to move on. Normally I find myself rolling my eyes and generally being annoyed by flowery prose but I was rooted to the pages of this book and the beautiful writing from Leisa Rayven. This is an absolute MUST READ!!

I can’t deny I love Leisa Rayven writing, this book is one of my favorites of 2018, This enemies to lovers romance book is done to perfection. Asha and the professor chemistry is off the charts. Asha character is amazing, the plot is perfect, the swoon will give you a heart attack and just amazing. I am so going to re-read this book in the future.
Not as good as the first book. Many more spelling & grammatical errors, which always takes me out of the story. Plus, the author has some timeline issues. I think I might love Jake more than Max, tho.
I liked it, but not quite as much as the first book in the Masters of Love series. And while these books can be read as standalones, I think the reading experience is made better if you're familiar with Max and Eden's story.
Mild spoiler alert the story fell under the 2nd chance romance umbrella, but it wasn't a true 2nd chance, more like 2nd chance adjacent. Jacob and Asha were BFFs as children, fell out during their teen years and pretty much lived to antagonize each other in their adulthood. The Professor's identity was a mystery for a certain part of the book, but once it was revealed, the storyline became quite predictable. Honestly, by the halfway point I already knew how events were going to transpire and I was pretty much spot on. That was a bit of a disappointment, since a big part of why I'd loved Mister Romance, the first book, was that it'd kept me guessing at every turn.
Another aspect that was different about this story, compared to the first one, was that it was a lot more emotionally deep and, thus, less funny. On the bright side, though, while we'd only gotten glimpses of Joanna during the previous book, since she worked with Asha she showed up a lot more in this one. I really liked her character. She reminded me of Amanda Seyfried in Meangirls (they both had magic boobs!), kinda dumb but with moments of absolute brilliance. I couldn't help but love her in all her outrageous glory.
But back to the main couple, I wished the development of their relationship would have been done differently. The mandatory heart-to-heart that is the staple of 2nd chance romances everywhere came out of the blue. To me, it felt like the transition from constant anger and unending fights to tearful confessions and relieved hugs wasn't at all smooth. It was like we'd reached the portion of the book where that had to happen and so it did. Time for Asha and Jacob to be friendly again! There. Done.
In a nutshell, the story was nice and the chemistry between the leads was great, but this book really paled in comparison to the first in the series.
DNF at 33%. It took me a month to get that far. After the twist and reading some reviews, I felt pretty sure I wouldn’t like the rest. Too much enemies, not enough lovers. I did like the author’s prose pretty well, though.
