    Trope-y, problematic, and offensive...
  

*by M***A on Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2018*

I chose this book as part of a read-a-thon I was participating in. One of the challenges was to read a “hyped” contemporary novel. With all the buzz this series gets in my bookish circles, The Studying Hours fit that criterion for me. This book has been on my TBR for quite some time, and I was excited to read it.Unfortunately, this excitement was short lived. By 10%, I was ready to DNF this book, mostly due to a completely unlikeable male lead. Yes, I knew he would be somewhat of a jerk based on the title of the book, but I wasn’t quite prepared for the active loathing I had for Sebastian “Oz” Osbourne.I wasn’t expecting much beyond the typical college sports romance, and I was OK with that. I read and very much enjoy those. However, this story was just…not good. Besides the clear need for another pass by an editor, the characters are underdeveloped and unlikeable, and there is only the barest hint of a plot throughout this book.Let’s talk about Oz. I didn’t like him. At all. For a guy majoring in HR, he sure needed his own lesson in sexual harassment. I have no qualms with an aggressive alpha male, but Oz was just pushy and pervy and terribly unsexy. His “Don’t You Know Who I Am?” routine became tiresome, and he had NO attributes beyond sports and sex. We know almost nothing about him.Then there’s James. Besides having a quirky name for a girl and a particular style of dress, she is a blank; a void. We know NOTHING about her. Moreover, what little we do learn, we learn much too late to actually become invested in her as a character. (And it’s only one paragraph worth of information, so you’re not missing much) She’s pretty much there as a vehicle for Oz’s machinations and to be a receptacle for the obligatory sex scenes this genre demands.Additionally, I must mention the one POC character in this novel. He’s given one paragraph, and if I’m being honest, it’s clearly thrown in there as an afterthought, a “token” character. His (very) limited dialogue is nothing short of stereotypical, and when I listened to the audio, was downright offensive. The narrator performed this dialogue as if he were auditioning for a “Boyz In The Hood” remake, and it really didn’t sit well with me.The side characters were pretty much a parade of jerks and bigger jerks, and I have no interest in following any of the antics of the students at this school. Do we even know the name of the school? I finished this book only a few hours ago, and I have no idea.The narration was also a bit of a disappointment to me. While the Muffy Newtown did a fine job, I struggled with Josh Goodman’s performance. His “female” voice didn’t differ much from his male voice, so I had a hard time knowing who was speaking at times. The same holds true for Oz’s inner dialogue. I couldn’t always tell when things were spoken out loud and when they were part of his internal thoughts.Overall, this book was disappointing to me on many different levels. Which honestly bummed me out, because I was really looking forward to reading this series. Sadly, it turned out to be cringe-y, super trope-y, problematic, and at times, completely offensive. I won’t be continuing with this series.

    Nope
  

*by R***D on Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2019*

It's been quite a while since I've read a NA book, and this one was free and claimed to be funny (the free part was true at least).  I read about 30% and this happened:  after James repeatedly tells Sebastian she's not interested, he scams his way onto her spring break trip and insists on sharing her hotel room.  After that I said nope skimmed some of the rest.Sebastian is majoring in human resources because his older sister was sexually harassed at work, yet he clearly doesn't understand harassment.  Other than being good-looking, he doesn't seem to have any redeeming qualities.  James was better, but I can't with women who seem normal but turn stupefied when a hot guy is around.  Rude?  Jerk?  Speaks abhorrently about women?  Not cool!  But he's hot, so...

    2 meh stars
  

*by K***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2019*

I finally finished this book ya’ll! I tried before and DNFed it, but something in me wanted to see if I misjudged it too early. While I can’t say it’s going to be a favorite or the best romance I’ve ever read, it was okay. I'm been going back and forth between 2 or 3 stars. I'm going with 2 because of Sebastian's behavior and the weird dream scenes.I’m so all over the place on how I feel about Sebastian. Sometimes he made me think that he a decent guy, but then he would always mess it up with a comment or looking at other girls. Also, if you are into safe romance, then don't look at this one. So the big question is did he win me over? Meh, he’s alright. Same about Jameson. She was just alright. Honestly, I probably would’ve just left Sebastian and his sexual innuendos alone a long time ago.So, what did I like? I think that they did have a friendship first before they gave into any sort of relationship. They had so much sexual tension that it was steaming up my kindle. This is a book where I was shouting for them to just have sex already. I liked how Sebastian turned out in the end.All in all, it wasn’t terrible. It was just okay and I hope it’s one of those series where it gets better as it goes on.
