Beatrice's Reviews > Professor Feelgood

I received an ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review.

The Masters of Love series continues with Professor Feelgood and this is about Eden's sister, Asha Tate. Asha is an editor in a small publishing house and is one of the candidates for promotion. In order to be promoted, she's searching for a potential bestselling author. She wants someone whose words emit passion and will connect to his/her audience. The first person who comes in her mind is Professor Feelgood from Instagram. The anonymous guy is popular for writing beautiful poems about heartbreak, loss, life and love. She is a huge fan of his work and believes his words are powerful and affecting the lives of many.

She contacted him, at first he's hesitant and later accepted her offer after their phone conversation. Her excitement about her new project vanished when they met in personal. Apparently this guy she admire because his words is someone from her past and she despised him. Now she doesn't know how they'll work as a team when there's an animosity and unresolved tension between them. Is Asha attracted to him despite of her hate? Undeniably.

Leisa Rayven slays once again with a classic enemies to lovers romance with a lot of angst! I'm drawn from start to finish. Asha is sassy, intelligent, independent and witty. Her personality is very likable and authentic and I love her for that. Professor Feelgood is a brooding, sexy jerk. But when he comes around, his heart is full of love. He got his heart broken by someone he thought was his soulmate and meeting his former best friend isn't helping him. I cannot mention his real name because it's a spoiler and goodness me. I ended up loving him just like Asha. I swooned over him and his revelation about his poems made me love him more. I'm happy Asha and Professor Feelgood reunited and settled their issues from the past and the present time. This made their relationship worthwhile. It's nice to see Max and Eden here. I do hope Joanna will have her own book. I adore her and she's freaking hilarious!

Overall, the story is slow burning romantic and perfectly executed, the sexual tension between Asha and Professor Feelgood is SPOT ON and the character development is fantastic! You'll never go wrong with Leisa Rayven's books. Her books are well written and sizzling romantic. What surprises me are the beautifully written poems. The words are soulful and poetic. It truly moved me. If Ms. Rayven considers writing a poetry collection in the future, I'm totally down for it. Here's one of the poems I like:

"I run to quiet my mind,
and as I force my feet one in front
of the other, my dark thoughts trail behind me
like an oil leak.

I run to purge. To punish myself.
To push thoughts away.
I run, because whenever I stand
still,
the suffocating, life-ruining love I
feel for you
catches up with me."

Final rating: 4.5 / 5 stars
