Danni’s Badass Books

⭐ 5 Stars ⭐

I'm such a sucker for forbidden romances, especially if it's a professor-student romance. Okay, so I know many people are against this and think it's gross, but honestly, it's a book, purely fantasy, and it's not like I support these types of relationships in reality. So yes, I really enjoyed this! 

I liked the fact that it was written as a dual POV, so we got to see the thoughts and feelings of both Kalen and Monroe. I must admit though, I kinda liked Monroe's chapters a little more and enjoyed the interactions he had with other characters. This is not to say I disliked Kalen. Still, some of his actions and behaviour was not acceptable. Like when he practically forced his lesbian best friend to pretend to be his girlfriend for his own benefit. But, he did have some character growth so it wasn't too bad.

I adored the development of the relationship and all the problems that they faced along the way. The two mains had fantastic chemistry, and it was impossible not to fall in love with them and root for a happy ending. While Kalen did do a few questionable things, it didn't impact the overall enjoyment of the relationship or the actual book. 

All the characters were charming, besides one or two that I only felt complete rage towards, but I will not mention them. One of the characters that stood out to me was Baker. He was so caring and a wonderful friend that I wish I'd had. And I'm so excited he's getting his own book which I will 100% be reading! 

While this book did contain a fair bit of smut, it was also such a rollercoaster of emotions with a great story that had you laughing one moment and crying the next. If you like M/M romance with a bit of taboo, then check this book out!
