Obsessed

This is a huge skim fest for me and I’m labeling it as a DNF because I fell asleep reading it multiple times so even though I made it to the end, I retained nothing. I read the first two books in the James/Penny trilogy sometime in the past year and had to stop. I liked book one but I hated that it was all from Penny’s POV. She drove me nuts. Then there was all the miscommunication and drama in book two and I didn’t care to finish the trilogy. Then I learned this author had written a bazillion more books about this couple and all the books I had on my TBR by her were either spin-offs of characters from this book or more of this couple later on in their lives. Hard pass.
But then this book was announced and it’s the first book of the original trilogy but in Professor Hunter’s POV. I’d always wondered if I had his POV in the original books if that would have made a difference. It appears that it wouldn’t have made a difference because his POV was the same shit as before. Supposedly there’s more added to this but it was so damn boring I ended up skimming the majority of it. Even the sex scenes couldn’t save it. Now I remember why I abandoned this series. At least I seem to have found a cure for my insomnia.
I can’t rate this because it’s really a case of, it’s me not the book. If you are a fan of this series you will probably love this. I’m just not.
