Temptation by Ivy Smoak

1.0

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
