Publisher's summary

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.*

Holy Freaking Cow I LOVED this book!

Holy cow! Wow! I can't believe I have only now just discovered this series. There were a few parts that could have used a bit of work technically, I do think that the narrator sounded far younger than 19 in her delivery, but again holy freaking cow I loved this story. I was hooked from page one and I believed it every step of the way.

I am a sucker for Alpha males and Professor Hunter ticked all my boxes. He was dominant, confident and strong, oh so strong! On top of that he was rich, yet modest, determined and knew exactly how to vocalize what he wanted in bed.

Speaking about bed... Ivy is a freaking genius when it comes to writing sex scenes that kept you flipping pages and feeling deliciously dirty with each one. I am looking forward to reading through all four books in this series. Definitely a steamy read!!!

Probably a better read than listen.

the narrator sounds like she is 12 and in a long dream. the relationship was under developed and her constant lack of confidence became frustrating. The brazen behavior in the dorm wasn't believable and the book overall lacked any meat.

Terrific Series, Ivy Smoak is smoking hot!

Did you ever fantanize about a secret affair with your professor? In this first book of this five book series Penny Taylor's dream becomes a reality, and overtakes everything else in her life. I just adore the plot,, the well drawn characters, and the steamy scenes. This is comtemporary romance at its very best.

Similar to fifty shades of gray

This book is similar to fifty shades of gray, deep into details, hardcore. Although the narrator sounds young, it is a must read! Loving this hunter series and will be reading all books.

Narrator concern

I strongly recommend a male narrator be added it’s hard to listen with female voice. If this was changed it would get 5 stars!

Narrators voice sounds too young

The narrators voice was hard to get past. It sounded VERY young and it was hard to believe she was a college student not a middle schooler. Definitely not a good quality for a romance novel. I pushed through and finished but I won't be listening to any more in the series. The story was decent and I might have finished the series if I read the hard copy instead of listening to it.

Meh

I hate the narrators voice.
If I never hear the word sexy again it would be too soon.

I was disappointed

I had really high hopes for this one after reading the empire high series, this is nothing like it. the FMC is very immature and it started out fast but it was super slow the rest of the way through. it helps knowing the characters from empire high but I just had higher hopes for this one.

Temptation at its finest

OMG! I was all in with James and Penny! Switching back and forth between my kindle and the audio because I couldn’t stop stop being tempted with their story! Swoon.
