About this listen

Only once in my life have I lost my words at the sight of perfection - on a rainy autumn morning when I first met James Hunter. Or rather, when I literally ran into him. I had never seen anyone so handsome in my entire life. The stubble along his jaw line. The way he caught me in his strong arms. The way he stared at me so intently with his dark brown eyes that swirled with secrets.

I felt it in a rush. That I wanted him. That I needed him in my life. I’m not naïve. I could tell in two seconds that he was out of my league. And not just because it looked like he had stepped out of the pages of a magazine. Well, that and the fact that he’s my professor.

Trust me, I know I need to forget about him. But how could I possibly when every time I see him in class it feels like he’s daring me to cross the line?

*I don’t know how much longer I can resist the temptation.*

Struggled with how young the narrator sounds and there's very little difference interpreting the voice of the male characters

Good story, struggled with narrator

absolutely loved this book ,start of a series following penny and James love story. at times you wanted to throttle penny for being so immature but we'll worth following the story to completion.

another great story from ivy

I did enjoy the writing style. however, I found the story extremely predictable. to the point were I'm reluctant to read the others. I think I'll read some of Ivy Smoaks other works first.

not bad. not great

As a huge 50 shades fan I thought I’d give this a go. However I found the story to be pretty mediocre and Penny herself very annoying. The girl who reads the book also sounds like she has a cold and read the book in a constant drone which grated on me a bit. I managed to finish but it was really cringe in places. I won’t be continuing with the sequels :(

Cringeworthy

Despite the fact it is a romantic erotica, which means book must be aimed at adult audience it feels like it’s written for a young teenagers. Nothing makes sense here. Dialogues and motives are both poor, stereotypical, there is no thrill, nothing new here, vocabulary is poor, constantly repeating itself. There are moments it’s so cheesy it literally makes you want to throw out. The heroin is so flat, she has literally nothing interesting about herself. Even if she would be the most beautiful woman in the world I do not understand how any man could fall for her. She is flat, stereotypical, boring and predictable. On a top of that so immature my 12 old cousins seems to be more suitable to take her place. There are moments she just doesn’t seem “real” at all. Like a really bad actress who cannot pull her performance and make audience root for her. On a top of that I can see that that it is in a way a poor copy of one bestselling book which title starts with “50”.
I really did not have high expectations when I have picked this book. I wanted a romance aimed at adult audience, something entertaining to kill the time. I cannot even say how disappointed I was.

It could have been good…but it wasn’t…

Honestly? It felt like I was reading a fanfiction written by a 16 Yr old.
There is a LOT of repeatition - SEXY being the biggest -also, I want him - I need him - Adams apple rise and fall - has the author not heard of synonyms? And when a sex scene came, instead of looking forward to it I groaned, not another one!
Penny was annoying as f! And Melissa was even worse.

Oh my God!

Penny is incredibly immature, hypocritical and annoying. I fail to see the attraction. The premise of student and hot professor is a good one, but this book wasn’t for me. She is far too whiney. I won’t be continuing the series, maybe a younger audience would find it more appealing.
