Temptation has quickly turned into addiction. Penny Taylor fell hard for the sexy, mysterious, exciting, and dangerous Professor Hunter. But scandalous affairs are meant to go down in flames. Now that he's not speaking to her, she feels numb. And what hurts the most is that he appears to be completely fine. As she struggles to accept that their relationship is really over, her best friend's crude advice is in the back of her mind - the best way to get over someone is to get under someone else.

I put my foster father behind bars. It doesn't matter that he deserved it. What matters is that he's powerful, manipulative, and now, he wants me dead. I can feel someone watching me. I know my time is running out. The only other person who cares if I live or die is a masked stranger. So I'm putting my life in the vigilante's hands - and maybe a piece of my heart along with it. Even though I'm worried that he's just as dangerous as the man I sent to prison.

Story
The Untouchables. That's what everyone calls them. At least, it's my best friend's nickname for them. And since she's the only one that talks to me at my new school, I'll take her word for it. The nickname probably comes from the fact that they're exorbitantly wealthy. Old wealth. The kind that isn't flaunted around. But you can tell by the way they carry themselves. Or maybe the name just refers to the fact that they're so beautiful it's almost hard to look at them.

The easiest way to get over someone is to never see them again, right? So when my ex stomps on my heart and throws it into the ocean...I decide to spend my summer on the opposite side of the country. And this summer is all about me: mending my broken heart (screw all men), figuring out what I want to do with my life (a life that thankfully does not include my ex), and trying to better myself (does eating ice cream count?). But all of my perfect planning comes to a halt when the sexiest lifeguard in existence asks me out. I have to say no.

The first time I met Merrick Crawford was during my job interview. Well, technically, I’d met him 20 minutes earlier when he’d barged into a fitting room a few doors down from my appointment. I yelled. He yelled. After an argument while standing in my bra, I proceeded to smash the door into the gorgeous jerk, trying to yank it shut. As you might imagine, I was freaked out when I discovered that the rude guy was my potential new boss. Yet he didn’t seem to recognize me. Or so I thought.... Until we wound up bickering again during my interview and he told me to go sniff my armpit.

He’s a ruthless stranger. One I can’t see, only feel, thanks to my friends who make a deal with him on my behalf. No names. No personal details. No face to etch into my mind. Just him, me, and an expensive silk tie. What happens in Vegas is supposed to stay in Vegas. He warns me he’s full of danger. I never see that side of him. All I experience is his Russian accent, delicious scent, and touch that lights me on fire. One incredible night turns into two. Then we go our separate ways. But fate doesn't keep us apart.

Story
White-hot, blinding, and dangerous. That's exactly what Volt is. He's electric. The first time I met him, my body reacted. It coiled, sizzled, and sparked. I knew I wanted him because he was the first man to make me feel dead and alive at the exact same time.
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.*

Immature
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.

Cringeworthy
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 :(

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

No...just no
I really should never have started this series since it's totally out of my comfort zone but I was trying to be open-minded.. (I have never approved of men in positions of authority who take advantage of vulnerable girls-- but that's my opinion). Probably more "contemporary" than I am comfortable with but beyond that, there are other considerations. First of all, the narrator is so childish sounding that it's difficult to imagine that the heroine could actually make a mature decision---which she doesn't and continues to do throughout this book. This begs the question as to why an educated, "mature" man would choose such a shallow, vapid girl who can't make a decision and stick to it. There's not much to the story apart from her sexual escapades and that's hardly enough to continue to the next in series.
Needless to say, this one wasn't for me so I'll leave this series to the college age girls.

Not obvious
I received this book for free on audible from a friend and saw a lot of negative reviews, but decided to listen anyways.
I really liked this book (so much in fact that I'm currently on book 3 in the series and ordered one of the spin-offs as well). Ivy Smoak is a great author and the story line is not typical. Penny is a little dramatic and annoying but she is 19 years old and going through a lot of crazy crap! I think it's unfair to judge her immaturity too harshly...she is immature.
Also, I've never read a romance novel where I was rooting for both male heros. Tyler and Professor Hunter are both amazing.

Narrator sounds too young
Good story, as far as college age gap romance, but it was difficult to ignore the tiny, girlish voice of the narrator, especially as the main focus of the relationship hinges on the professor’s mistaken presumption that Penny is older than her actual age. Narrator sounded early teens to me.

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!!!

Waste of time
The female narrator sounds like a child, which then adds to the annoyingness of the female lead. She makes such immature wishy-washy decisions. I get that she is young, but this could have been so much better. Also, there is a "cliffhanger" to finish the story in book 2. But< i could not care less about trying to get through that.

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.
