Absolutely rubbish.
Bad grammar. Bad dialogue. Childish main character.

This book was a great forbidden romance read. Loved the writing structure and the pace. The plot was simple but it worked very well. The only thing that got me annoyed were the fight scenes - they lacked maturity and were extremely childish. They could simple be solved by talking and were not big enough to stop talking in first place. Apart from that I’m very excited to continue this series!

Lo que basicamente odie:
Personaje femenino principal que es egoista, histerica, actua y (mucho) despues razona, mentirosa, hipocrita, manipuladora.. y puedo seguir con adjetivos de ese estilo.
Personajes secundarios que no aportan nada a la historia.
Personaje masculino secundario que no sabe tomar un no como respuesta (estar borracho no es escusa).
Creencia que la amistad entre el hombre y la mujer no puede ocurrir nunca.

Lo que me gusto:
Que el libro terminara rapido.

Que pena, no hay casi nada que pueda rescatar de esto.

Temptation

James Hunter, professor...if he was my professor I’d have a problem too. Penny, so “green” in a sense. Young, never really experiencing what it’s like to be adored, ravaged, and loved finds herself between a rock and a hard place...literally. Should she do what’s safe and be with Tyler, or should she throw caution to the wind and savor everything James Hunter, Professor has to offer and is willing to teach??

Deliciously forbidden, incredibly hot

I was hooked. Read the whole thing in less than a day and now catch me for the next 20-ish hours reading the next one off and on, craving more breaks at work to read…

I would give this book negative stars if I could. It was cringey, boring and terrible. I can't even imagine what the the main character whines about in the three other sequels.

Great read!

Truly had my attention form start to finish. Loved it and can’t wait to read the rest! Ivy Smoak is awesome.

Cringe. I struggled through this. I have no problems with age gaps and teacher/student tropes but this felt like straight grooming of this young girl. It was straight just sex and not a whole lot of anything else.

This book was read for my bookclub which is why I finished the whole thing. It would've been a DNF but since I was gonna be talking about it I wanted to make sure I had all of the information.

I usually write spoiler free reviews but I simply cannot for what I am about to say

1. Penny is atrocious. She's a teenager (19) which is supposed to be part of the suspense, ya know the age gap, hooking up with her professor esq time of situation. However she doesn't have a single mature bone in her body, so its like ya dude how did you not realize she was so young she acts like it the ENTIRE TIME YOU KNOW HER
2. the tantrum she threw about him being still "married"???? Childish. Annoying. Especially since she's actively talking to ole boy Tyler.
3. Tyler? my dude run? Why are you still entertaining this.
4. WHY DOES SHE CALL HIM PROFESSOR HUNTER THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE BOOK. Its cringey. Not at all in a sexy type of way its straight up weird.
5. Him having money and being a professor just for shits and gigs seems like it was just thrown in there? The whole country club scene where he "bought the country club bc would it make such a great first date" was.... forced. It seemed like it was trying to sprinkle billionaire romance vibes in but it should didn't hit like it should've.
6. The ending to the book was not just disappointing but whatever falls way past disappointing. He's mad she lied about her age, is just ignoring her bc he needs time to think. STILL GIVES HER AN A ON THE SPEECH WHERE SHE RAN OUT??? He called her emotional immaturity "passion" BFFR
