Professor Feelgood by Leisa Rayven

3.0

UGHHHHH, this book had ridiculous amounts of potential, but it just fell a bit short for me. It was really well written- the angsty speeches about love not existing, and then the passionate declarations of love eventually made by the same characters can be a bit boring and nonsensical and stale but not here. I loved the hero and heroine's repartee- it did truly feel like they detested each other at the start, it was not contrived or forced at all. Having said that, this was a book that definitely needed flashbacks and was sorely lacking as a result of their omission- the characters narrating to each other all of the things that had happened was not nearly as effective in making us understand properly the roots of their relationship, as it would have been if it was shown (like in Vicious). It also kinda felt like smooth sailing after they both decided to be together- WHY DID THEY NOT BRING JEREMY BACK TO FUCK SHIT UP? The heroine's issues sexually were also left pretty unexplained, and also I saw the twist coming from miles away, and I'm not very perceptive ordinarily. Wouldn't have been disappointed quite as much, if it weren't for all the potential this book had :(
