Phew…I am, with full shame rating this 4 stars.   😂 I came strictly for the smut and this book delivered. Was it corny? Yes. Did it read like fanfiction? Yes. Was I absolutely addicted to my kindle for two days? Yes. Obviously this isn’t the most well rounded, poetic, incredible display of love I’ve ever read. And the characters are pretty flat, besides the mysteries that surround Prof. Hunter. But when you need a break from the in-depth worlds and deeply developed characters, a book like this does the trick. 

The one thing I could absolutely not stand about this book was Melissa the roommate/best friend. She’s just like…awful the entire time and every time she showed up I wanted to skip to where she exited again.
