Crave

Crave by Piper Lawson is the first book in the Off Limits series. It is about Sawyer Randall and Olivia Barclays.. Olivia and Sawyer met after Olivia danced in the amateur night competition at a strip club. She saw Sawyer in the audience and was immediately drawn to him. He helped shield her from her ex-boyfriend in the parking lot of the club when he kissed her. They exchanged telephone numbers and spent most of the night texting. The following morning, Olivia discovered that her Mechanical Engineering Professor had died and Sawyer was the replacement.. Their attraction was undeniable, but the consequences of a relationship between them would be terrible for Sawyer if they discovered. This is a new adult, forbidden romance, age-gap novel. This is the first book I’ve read by PIper Lawson and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It is not a long book; something that could be completed within a few hours. I’m not sure I would refer to it as a full length novel. It caught my attention in the first chapter and the story drew me in further as it went along. Both main characters had dealt with adversity and lacked supportive parents. Despite a ten year age-gap, I think that these experiences cemented their connection to each other. They each experienced conflicted emotions when it came to their relationship. The story is told more often from Olivia’s POV, but there are chapters from Sawyer’s that add that additional perspective and information. The chemistry between Olivia and Sawyer is super hot, and the story ends on a cliffhanger. I would recommend this book for readers who enjoy new adult, contemporary fiction as well as forbidden romance and age-gap tropes. I am voluntarily submitting this honest review after reading an advanced complementary copy of this book thanks to Netgalley and Piper Lawson Books.

Forbidden romance Professor/student Cliffhanger Slow burn Dirty talking professor Age gap Cliffhanger Narrator Connor Crais as our sexy, dirty talking professor and Vanessa as our sassy and smart Olivia made the story come alive Fast paced with angst, laughter sadness. The emotions ran high. Anger and disappointment due to parents, laughter with the friends, angst of the forbidden romance. They both stand too loose a lot. The cliffhanger shoves the angst to another level.

States it’s 200 and some pages yet only has 28 pages

Not a complete story. Ends on cliffhanger

Very interesting story! Worth the read. That said, I’m not a fan of cliffhangers though.

I love me a good professor/ student forbidden romance. The spice, the angst, the tension… all of it. I listened to this one on audio and it was fantastic.

Crave is the first book in the Off Limits series and it was a great read and audio listen. Loved this age gap, professor/student, forbidden romance. Sawyer is running from his previous life, a business owner, successful, but he was forced out of his own company. He takes a job as a professor in a place he had tried to run from his whole life. He’s smart, mysterious, and beautiful. He meets the beautiful Olivia, who in her own right is smart, sassy, sexy and keeps him on his toes. There is only one problem. He is her professor. We follow them along as they try to fight the connection, chemistry, and the instant gravitational pull they have towards each other. The twists, turns and what ifs will keep you guessing. It does end on a cliffhanger but you can dive into the continuation of their story in the next book Collide. Amazing read and audio listen. Narrated by Conner Crais, and Vanessa Edwin. Loved how they read the book, they kept me engaged and the switches they made for different characterizations was great.

Oh my goodnessssssss! First thing's first, THIS IS NOT A STANDALONE!! I hate reading into books so I didn't realize this until the end when stuff wasn't resolved haha! Regardless, I enjoyed this story SO MUCH! Piper found a way to get me to enjoy a student/professor relationship in a way I normally wouldn't. I was hook on this story, so much so that I finished it in a matter of hours! I will definitely be jumping in to the other books when they come out on audio!

Could not wait for the end of my day where I get to climb in bed and read the next chapter. Felt good to immerse myself in the story loved it!

It turned me on! It taught me about relationships and what to do when things get tricky;) I enjoyed it and am going to read another Piper Lawson book 📖 😁
