I felt like this was a really quick steamy read!
I had a few issues with the main female lead. I felt like she was majorly immature and her lying to the professor really showed that she is truly just 19.
Her anger and how she exploded in public situations multiple times also made me dislike her.
Regardless I still enjoyed the book and I really do want to know what happens next especially since it’s a 7 book series. Book is a 3.5 star for me, just don’t know how to get that onto goodreads

If I had to read her calling him professor hunter one more time I was going to throw up. Also there are so many grammatical mistakes in this book it seems like it wasn’t edited well.

I found Penny to be an incredibly immature character and boring as well. The "attraction" between her and James feels incredibly forced. It's a fairly quick read or it would have been a DNF. It ends on a cliffhanger of sorts but I just can't endure more of the main character.

The first thing I want to say is that I am so confused over the fact that it was totally ignored that Tyler basically tried to rape penny. Like he was almost successful. He was drunk and didn’t stop. Then after this, he said sorry and then everything was over. He was painted as the good choice over James despite trying to RAPE her. I just can’t get over that.
I thought the plot was good, however, the execution was a little bit off. What put me off the writing. It was very stilted and it had no finesse. It’s very hard to explain, but it just feels like the writing was very mediocre and could’ve needed an editor. How the scenes were laid up and described made it hard to get into the story.
I did really like James. This might be because I’ve read a lot of dark romances lately, but I was pleasantly surprised by him being so nice. I feel like kindness in bookmen is grossly underestimated. I also felt like his actions were very logical and reasonable. He seemed like a great boyfriend to Penny and brought her out of her shell which was needed.
I did not like Penny as much. The main reason for that is that some of her decision-making was very questionable. She made a lot of rash decisions without a second thought which hurt the people around her. I also thought she treated James quite badly sometimes due to these unnecessary misunderstandings. I felt a little bit bad about how she treated Tyler, but then again not really because he tried to rape her. The confusing part about that is that Tyler from the start of the book and the end of the book did not feel like the same person. Like that one act in the beginning of the book was not consistent with the character he was in the rest of the book.

Great read
This book left me on the edge of a mountain. I’m on a cliffhanger! Ivy is such an intense writer and I get so sucked in to her books
