What’s a girl to do when a man who’s countless shades of wrong feels oh-so-right?

Ambitious book editor Asha Tate is a hopeless romantic. Despite her mediocre track record with men, she believes in swooning, sighing, and the everlasting love of true soul mates. Sure, sex is okay, but she’s not someone who’s ever been driven by her animal urges.

Until now.

When Asha stumbles upon the scorching hot Instagram feed of someone calling himself Professor Feelgood, she falls in lust for the first time. Not only is she left panting over the professor’s insane body, but his angst-filled poetry about losing his one true love speaks straight to her soul.

Desperately in need of a bestseller for her struggling publishing company, Asha knows the professor’s potential to sell to his millions of loyal followers could be the lifeline her bosses need. However, the ink is barely dry on a book deal before she realizes she’s made a terrible mistake. Sure, the professor is incredibly talented and sexier than any man has a right to be, but the man behind the persona isn’t at all who she pictured. In real life, he’s intense, arrogant and infuriating, and his uncanny ability to rub her the wrong way turns her dream project into a total nightmare.

Knowing that the professor is everything she doesn’t want in a man should help Asha ignore her occasional urges to mount him, but she quickly learns that explosive, unwanted chemistry can make even smart people do stupid things.

Don’t miss this sexy new standalone from the international bestselling author of Bad Romeo and Broken Juliet.

My Review:

Review also posted on Goodreads

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

The Masters of Love series continues with Professor Feelgoodand 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 Feelgoodfrom 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.”
