DNF Review for Voyeur by Fiona Cole



VOYEUR

I didn’t know she was my student the first time I paid to watch her at Voyeur.

Once she walked into my classroom, another smiling college freshman, I knew I should stop going. Stop watching.

But I couldn’t do it. Everything about her makes me want more, and once I realize she wants me too, the temptation becomes irresistible.

The worst part is that she has no idea her professor is the one watching behind the glass.

I just have to hope that once she finds out the truth, she wants the same thing I do. Because now that I've seen all of her, I can't look away.



REVIEW: DNF
Originally read in June 2018
Updated and added to original review

This being my first book by Fiona Cole, I was happy that it was going to be a taboo Student/Teacher trope because I love the forbidden side of things every now and then. The teasers and the synopsis all had a draw to it that made me want to check it out. To add to it, the cover was a huge bonus as that was very definitely a sexy one!! With all the pieces seemingly coming together to provide me with a story that I couldn't walk away from - I was ready to jump in. Unfortunately, I am going to count this as a DNF for me. I got to 50%, decided I needed to put it down before I got increasingly frustrated, and walked away for a bit. I wanted to come back to it and try again....lo and behold, I was done 'enough' to not feel like I needed to pick it back up.

I am not a huge fan of being strung along, and by 50% we had no idea WHY he had the hangups and the issues he did, but we knew that he was affected greatly and it caused some issues for him. I just felt like it dragged, and that was a huge turnoff for me.

I had a hard time with a few things as they were playing out, and I don't want to take away from anyone's discovery of this storyline, but the reason she had to take that job? No. Nu uh. That was frustrating in and of itself. I can also say that I don't necessarily like my men on the softer side, and he felt very weak to me. I didn't get much from him, and I realize it's probably because I didn't finish this one, but I know that I should have felt something towards him besides contempt and rolling my eyes. I also didn’t particularly like the heroine in this one either. I know that my feelings are not the norm with this book, and I get it. I just didn't like that it felt soooo draaaawnn ouuuut and it was only 50%....it was very slow for me, so since I have zero desire to finish this one, I am going to call it quits.

Edited to add: I find myself increasingly curious about more of her titles and I have already purchased some of her books. I will give her books another go, and I'll cross my fingers for a win. She seems to hit her target audience with sexiness and sass, so I'm hoping this was a one off for me.
