Review: Temptation (The Hunted Series) by Ivy Smoak

Temptation Parts 1-3 by Ivy Smoak

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I simply could not put this series down! Captivating and alluring to the end. The characters are very easily identified with along the ups and downs of their temultuous relationships. This "forbidden romance" will have you on edge. Through the whole book I just couldn't wait to see what could possibly happen next!

Penny, a college student, is trying to move past an unhealthy relationship that left her self-doubting and insecure. When she literally bumps into a very kind and gorgeous man, she can not get her mind off of him. When she realizes that the gorgeous star of her fantasies is one of her college professors, she knows she's in trouble. Does her professor share her feelings of attraction? Or was it all in her head?
This whirlwind romance will take you by storm! It's truly gripping. The characters and their personalities are so organic and memorable that they are amongst characters that I feel like I "know." Ivy does a wonderful job portraying her characters personalities, emotions, and body language. And the feels...so many feels! Anxiety, Stress, Relief, Anger, Joy, Shame, Excitement, Disbelief...
One can't help but empathize what Penny is feeling when she second guesses and has guarded suspicions as outside trouble comes into the mix.



We don't give poor James enough credit either. I just love his character! James is definitely an alpha male but has a hidden vulnerability that he keeps locked up tight. You will get the sense that there is a lot to his past.
The adrenaline of reading this "full speed ahead" relationship is exciting! I know something crazy is coming now that they feel their difficulties have passed..... Can't wait!!!
