Voyeur by Fiona Cole

dark emotional tense medium-paced

3.5

I went into this one thinking one thing but then left wanting more. So the whole premise of this book is that this FMC is down on her luck and ends up working at a club where people can go and watch some things happen and live out their voyeuristic dreams. Callum is a long-time member and has been going for quite a while. Still, Oaklyn only started working there to gain money for school since her mother took her loan check, and she needed cash fast, or she would get thrown out of school. As the book progresses, it is like Oaklyn's life is coming together, and she is finally getting to a place where she is happy, not stressed, and living a good life. But the whole goal was always to pay for school. Working at the club was never going to be a long-time thing.
Meanwhile, Callum's life went backward. When we first meet him, he's a college professor, his life is all put together, and even though he lives a boring life, he's happy with it, but things explode when he meets Oaklyn, and he falls hard and fast for her. Until he realizes that she's his student, things implode, and he spirals from there. Things go downhill for me when he starts getting super controlling over her and jealous of her job. He knows this is just a way for her to make money to pay for school, and he even met her there. By the point he starts getting jealous, she's primarily a bartender and never leaves the bar, so he has no reason to even get jealous.  It's just a pain dealing with it, and the book went down a different road, and I missed the beginning of the book or even spending time at the club. Overall, The series centers around this club differently, but I liked this one even though I was left wanting more.
