Review: Tantalizing Temptation! - Let me begin my review by saying I’m not usually into the student/professor romance genre. I’ve only read one other, but happened to love it, so I figured I would give this a shot when Ivy emailed me with an offer to read her book. I cannot express how grateful I am to have been given the opportunity to read and review her book because I loved it. I could not put this book down and I went through some serious emotions throughout the entire story line. I will be honest I have very conflicting feelings about the two main characters. Let me start off with Penny. Penny is a 19 year old sophomore in college and starts off sweet, but works herself into an indecisive nut that I just want to shake and yell, “Smarten up!”(As previously mentioned, I went through a roller coaster of emotions). Penny is trying to get over a guy she was intimate with the previous semester, although he didn’t like to put titles on relationships, so they weren’t boyfriend/girlfriend. One day, while leaving a coffee shop she runs into a gorgeous stranger who turns out to be her communications professor. Professor Hunter is unlike Penny’s previous man in so many ways. He is a very assertive man and I will admit I love me a good Alpha and trust me Professor Hunter does not disappoint. He’s dominant, sexy, smart, and intense; all the things that make this girl swoon. To make a long story short they tried to separate but just couldn’t resist each other, and so begins the on again off again relationship. The sex scenes in the book are pretty damn steamy. There are enticing secrets which keep you hooked! I don’t want to give away the entire book, however, I can tell you it’s definitely worth the read! I just never wanted the book to end and when it did, with a cliff hanger I might add, it left me dying in anticipation. I just can’t wait to continue the rest of her series! The first book in this series was outstanding, I personally loved it. Purchase this book, you will not be dissatisfied! Oh and once again thank you Ivy for writing an awesome series and reaching out to me!
Review: Strong Writing, But Feels Incomplete. - Temptation by Ivy Smoak is a well-written romance with interesting characters and a smooth, readable style, though it didn’t fully meet my expectations by the end. The story centres on Penny, a college student navigating her coursework alongside complicated romantic feelings. After meeting James and feeling an instant connection, she soon learns he is her professor, which shifts the dynamic entirely. At the same time, Penny is dealing with uncertainty surrounding Tyler, a classmate she likes but doesn’t fully understand after a misunderstanding. These overlapping relationships create tension, but the storyline begins to feel repetitive as the book progresses. Penny is not an unkind character, but her indecisiveness can be frustrating. Her choices often hurt people she cares about, and while this may be intentional character development tied to her age, it made her difficult to connect with at times. James fits the familiar romance archetype; confident, intense, and drawn to Penny but I found him emotionally distant, which made it harder to feel invested in their relationship. One of the strongest aspects of this book is the author’s writing. Scene transitions are seamless, the pacing is easy to follow, and the story flows well from beginning to end. However, the overall length and lack of resolution left me disappointed. The book ends on a cliffhanger without providing enough closure to feel satisfying on its own. I rated Temptation 3.75 out of 5. If you enjoy romance with strong chemistry, dramatic tension, and cliffhanger endings that lead into the next book, this may be a good fit. Readers looking for a more complete, self-contained story may want to keep that in mind before starting.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wow! This Book Series Has Me Hooked!
*by H***C on November 12, 2020*

Let me start off by saying that I had heard about this series for a while now. I bought the series a few years ago because I seen a book recommendation on FB. I put off reading it because I am normally not into teacher student romances. My friend started reading these books and told me that had to give them a try. Now that I have I am very sorry that I waited. These books are 🔥🔥🔥. Professor Hunter has me in awe and swooning. With that said I will say that this is a book series. That normally implies that there is a cliffhanger that will continue with the following books. However I wanted to put that out there so that those who do not like cliffhangers will be warned. This series has 4 books but there is a spin off Series called Men of Manhattan. That can be read as standalone but are about some of the secondary characters in The Hunted series. Another spin off is Light of My Darkness series. I also wanted to put this out there so that you can find the whole story. Now that I have told you about all of that I will get on with my review.... College is resuming after summer break. Penny goes to a coffee shop in hopes of seeing a boy she likes and use to date before Summer break. The guy she liked never came into the coffeeshop goes to finally leave and handsome guy came in at the same time and she spilled coffee all over her shirt. The man felt back and gave her his sweater to wear to class. The next day she went to her Comm class and the handsome man was her professor. This book has a lot of 🔥🔥🔥 moments. I never really knew what these 2 were going to do next or what was going to happen to them next. I couldn't put the book down. I have found myself devoted in finding out how this story plays out. There are some characters that I want to smack, there are characters that I find funny, and there are characters that I loathe. This hit a lot of my emotions. However I am very happy that My friend told me that I should read these books. I never should have waited. If you like Alpha type men, a Book with a lot of emotions, a lot of 🔥🔥🔥 passion, and a good story. Then I recommend this book series.
