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.
My Review
I thought waiting a little bit to write my review would ease
my dislike for this this book, but it’s been over a week since I finished Voyuer,
and my dislike for it is still as strong as ever.
Now I know I’m one of the VERY FEW who didn’t
like this book, so this review is clearly how I feel about it, so don’t let
this review deter you from giving this book a try, after all it does have a
bunch of 5 star reviews.
So, lets jump right in…
Ok I was so freaking excited to read this book. I have been looking for a v
oyeur type book
since I finished the Innocence Series by Alessandra Torre, which I read over a
year ago.
When I read the synopsis to Voyeur I was ALL IN. The fact that I was so excited to read this
book, and it fell so short, added to my dislike.
Voyeur follows two characters, Oaklyn and Cal or Dr. Pierce. It switches from each of their POV’s. Oaklyn is a freshman in college who struggles
with being able to afford living on campus, along with just paying for college
in general. Oaklyn is first described to
us, the reader, as a good girl. She’s
pays her way through college, a good student, she wants to do big things with her
life, she's not the type of girl who sleeps around. She even said she wasn’t like super experienced
with guys, though she did have sexual encounters. To my surprise, when Oaklyn’s friend tells
her about the sex club her uncle owns, Oaklyn is on board. It took a couple of days to decide on working
there, but once there she didn’t even ease into it…. So, 1-2 chapters in, the good
girl is now a worker at this sex voyeur club, performing sexual acts with
strangers, and is totally fine with it.
(ANNOYING)
Enter Dr. Pierce, or Cal.
As soon as we meet him, we see that he has issues with being touched. He gets all panicky and has a type of PTSD
reaction whenever he is touched, especially in a sexual manor. So, he can totally give sexually, but can not
receive. I personally guessed right away
what made him this way. And though I try
hard to not be insensitive, I just felt he came off as a weak man. I know he went through some horrible shit, so
granted anyone would probably have the same issues, but the beauty of reading a
fiction book is that I get to form a liking for the perfect type of male
character (in my opinion of course) and Cal just didn’t do it for me. He came off so wimpy. It was a huge turn off for me, plus he was
basically a virgin. I CAN’T.
So, fast forward, turns out Cal is Oaklyn’s teacher, and Oaklyn
winds up being his student assistant. He
knows that Oaklyn works at Voyeur, but she doesn’t know he’s a member, because
he hides behind the one-way glass any time she performs for him. Mind you there were instances where she
bumped into Cal while she was working, but because he wore a hat she didn’t know
it was him. COME ON. STOP IT.
This book was just unrealistic in so many ways. The hero was just not the type of hero I like
to read. The girl went from innocent to
like a sexual goddess in 0.2 seconds.
And the whole finding out scene, where Oaklyn finds out about Cal being
a member, was just stupid. The only reason
I’m giving this book a 2 instead of a 1 is because the sex scenes were VERY HOT,
which is the only thing I actually liked in this book. This was my first time reading Fiona’s books,
and I’m not sure if I would read another.
Like I said, this book does have a lot of 5 stars, and is
getting a lot of hype. So just because
it didn’t work for me doesn’t mean you wont like it. Unfortunately, it just wasn’t for me.
