Professor's Kiss: A Forbidden Bully Romance (Irish Kiss) Kindle Edition

AAAAAHHHH!!!Where on earth do I begin??? This is such a beautiful, slow burn, emotional second chance, frienemies to lovers type of read. And it will suck you in!Sienna has such a way with words. She has such a way with these characters. The way she brings them to life, makes us a part of their worlds, is magical.Danny O'Donaghue. Rock royalty because of his mega famous father, but also in his own right as the lead singer of The Untouchable. Ailis Kavanaugh is his childhood friend turned enemy turned student. Someone he's always had feelings for but ignored. Someone he blamed for the absolute unthinkable; a childhood wish come true.Their on again, off again, hot-cold, push and pull is written as only Sienna can. You will find yourself alternately hating them and loving them. Individually and together. That's how well their stories are written. And never is it more apparent that two people belong together than these two.I loved every second of this book. This is my favorite book of hers, without question.

Professor’s Kiss was a wonderful story, it was so close to surpassing my feelings about the first book in the series, Irish Kiss, but just didn’t hit the high mark that was set by that book. My heart broke for Danny and all the love he lacked; it also found comfort in the way Ailis (AY-lish) did her level best to show him that love and how it shouldn’t be tied to what you get out of it.Danny was not a nice person for most of this book. However, I never found myself hating him. I questioned his reasoning, wondered about how could see himself the way he did, even felt sympathy toward the way he kept himself so isolated, but never saw him in the same light he did. He was the epitome of a broken little boy who’d grown into a man who never learned how to cope with someone caring for him with no expectations.I had a much harder time with Ailis. I loved her, no doubt about that, but she didn’t tug on my heart in the same way Danny did. I was constantly frustrated with what she put up with from Danny and how often she flip-flopped on her conviction not to let Danny continue to use and abuse her. While I understood how much damage Danny had done to her psyche over the years, her refusal to believe that she was worthy of anything was beyond maddening.Professor’s Kiss was a slow-burn angstfest. While the plot, in both the present and the past, was constantly moving forward and propelling Ailis and Danny to address all the things that had transpired between them. Theirs was not a particularly happy story; there were countless traumas they’d suffered at each other’s hand and by outside forces. The connection between Ailis and Danny was undeniable, though; their dynamic was electric, and the care and concern they had for one another bled from the pages – even when they were trying to deny and suppress it.I wish the end of this story would have matched the intensity of the first 90% or so of it. Professor’s Kiss had such an amazing build-up, and I was prepared for an epic ending to their story, but it just fell a little flat for me. If a little more of Danny’s healing had been captured in the book or there were a few more chapters of them being happily and fully committed to one another this book could have been stellar. I was so disappointed that the book fell apart, for me, in those last few moments.Professor’s Kiss is the second book in Sienna Blake’s Irish Kiss series. These books are standalones, with some interconnected characters and overlapping timelines. These books do not have to be read in order, and there is nothing lost in reading one book without reading the others. Professor’s Kiss is written in dual first-person perspective, narrated by Ailis and Danny.Sienna Blake is a phenomenal author. This book may not have hit all the right notes for me in the end, but it still delivered a fabulous story and was quite compelling. Ms. Blake is a skilled wordsmith. Her writing conveys a deep sense of emotion, and her style lends well to the deep, poignant stories she writes.

You never know what someone has been through, or going through, and that’s why they react the way they do to things. It takes A LOT to do the steps to be better for yourself and the person you want. I enjoyed this!!! I even realized later in the book that I’ve read the other book about Declan and his lady ;)

If I could have hand picked a book with everything I like contained within the pages, Professor's Kiss would be the closest book.1. Rock Star ✅2. Teacher - Student ✅3. H a complete a$$- hole ✅4. h who grew into her backbone ✅5. Angst for days ✅6. Redemption ✅7. Romance ✅If this author had thrown in an age gap, I might have found her just to kiss her face.Seriously, this book was fabulous and if you like all or one of the above tropes, read this book.

It was kind of boring i almost stopped reading it a few times. I will not re-read it. And to be honest I skidded a few pages just to be done it.

I enjoyed the characters and the story lines of this book. I would definitely recommend that it is to be read along with the other books in the series.

It's so hard for me to read love stories where one main character is cruel again and again to the other; the fact that this book is a duet makes it doable though still painful. It was a tough but good read.

Ok! This was my first read by Blake. No lie, she has won my heart! Danny pissed me off so much in this book but I couldn’t stop loving him at the same time (long sighhhhhh). Blake you knocked it out the part on this one and you have a new fan! Well Done!
