**Spoilers**
Age gap is in the description, so it's not a surprise, but the way it's executed - in my opinion - was disturbing.
Tessa- the fmc, is really overdone. She is of legal age, 21, but she presents and conducts herself like she's 15, maybe even younger. It was hard to get past.
The constant stuttering (without a speech impediment). The extraordinary, extreme, insane level of niavety --- for someone who is supposedly a genius but also doesn't know basic human biology.
Her meek disposition paired with the aforementioned niavety bordering on ignorance along with small things like others having to wipe her mouth (more than once), her child like thoughts, questions ...and perspectives really paint her as an overgrown toddler. Reading about her, you could fully imagine yourself answering her questions and patting her on the head. Without context, you would think she was a developmentally disabled bioengineering savant.
Yes, her father has kept her sheltered, but come on! You would think she was locked in a bunker, and spare parts were thrown down to her the way she acts.
I appreciate the inclusion of disability in the story. That was well done.
Tessa enters a dom/sub relationship as a virgin(duh) with three of her professors.
The depiction of this kind of relationship given Tessa's characterization was really problematic and uncomfortable to read. From the point that Tessa moves out of her dorm the story all but dissapears, and it's all sex from there.
I like spicy books, so that's not an issue outside of the fact that the story stopped advancing outside of Tessa's sexual awakening. But I skipped many of the scenes because it felt cringy and exploitive for this character. No amount of on page consent made it better. And the collar?! Sigh...
There were like 3 pages of plot at the very end-- concluding in a cliffhanger.
Kenny - Justice for Kenny. He was exceedingly patient and compassionate. Hopefully, things will work out for him in the next book.
Cassius - Overly aggressive. Maybe approaching abusive, dressed up in alpha male camouflage. A kiss isn't an apology. Domination depicted at a toxic level. A chariacture of the temperamental jerk who is obsessed with you. And you love him... because...reasons?
Kal-El - The most human of the professors, the daddy issues lend interesting context given what/who he is.
Cicero - The balance between the other two. The most logical.
Orion- Sure, he was unhinged at the very end, but I found Cassius and Tessa to be more bothersome. At least Orion' s shenanigans were plot related. I wish the story relative to Orion, his program, and/or his past were included. It would have provided a buffer in relation to the sex and fmc's origin story.
Sam - She was the fun, slightly stereotypical friend, but in a lovable way.
Overall, I think the story would have been better with an older or at least a marginally more mature fmc. You could still reference the impact of her trauma, disability, and sheltered upbringing without reducing her to a mental tween-ager. Honestly, many teenagers are more mature. It's jarring when contrasted against her supposed intellect and the nature of the sex scenes.

I’m not really sure what I read, but I was entertained! This story follows Tessa, a 21 year old who has hearing loss in one ear and a metal plate on her skull due to a tragic event. When invited to a school for the intelligent after being rejected, Tessa starts to experience strange sensations in her body.
Tessa has three professors/mentors who are biogenetic prodigies of Professor Orion Dwyer. Cicero, Cassius, and Kal-El are very similar yet different. They bring out things in Tessa that she has never felt before. Determined to prove that Tessa is “the one”, The Eternals move her in with them.
Okayyy!! I really liked this book! One thing I didn’t like was the fact that Tessa is 21 and acts as if she is 17/18. I get being green or sheltered, but come onnnn. The build up of “steamy scenes” started to get annoying after awhile because I was so anxious for them to get it over with! The burn in here is definitely slowwww. I can’t wait for book 2.

3 personally 4 overall
I am very intrigued by the world Smauggy is weaving, this combination of low tech and extremely high tech is really interesting. I think for me this has a lot of elements I don’t personally enjoy when it comes to Tessa, it’s an issue I ran into with another series of her’s. The emotional growth and maturity of her FMCs is to slow for my enjoyment. It’s the story that I enjoy and it got lost to the relationship. The spicy is top tier. I just really wanted more answers and information. This end on more a gasp moment than a cliffhanger but more for Tessa then the reader.

3.5 stars. It was a little too long and the smut got repetitive. (A LOTTTT of fingering). I really loved the banter between the brothers, it made me really grow to love them. Kal-el and Cassius are hilarious and Sam too. I high key want Sam as a best friend. Kenny got on my nerves, I wanted him to take a hint. I loved the parts with the ASL and the talk of better resources for people with disabilities. Overall, the story was really good but could have been shortened at least 20%. But I’m still excited to read the next book when it comes out!!!!!!!

I expect nothing less of Smauggy
As usual Smauggy likes to sweep us off our feet with her books and this one is no exception. I can’t wait for book 2 to be released!!!

1st Cyberpunk Romance I’ve read🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is a bit of a new genre for me and I started reading with no expectations. I’m pleasantly surprised and now I have to wait for book 2.
I’m not going to give the story synopsis the description says it all, however I am no science or tech person by far, but I was able to grasp the technical areas touched upon. And guess what? I’m interested and I never knew that was an area to explore.
Wrap that inside of a reverse harem trope and we have a winner. But what takes the interest up several notches is the fact the Tessa as the female lead is socially inadequate, some of it due to her “disability” and outward appearance but also her sheltered and sometimes over protected upbringing. This is so identifiable for me being raised by older parents who wanted me focused on school and not making friends. Watching her slowly come into her own emotionally, sexually, academically, was so very relatable to my own introverted nature.
The age-gap between teacher and student didn’t “trigger” anything in my mind, but was presented slowly, and respectfully imo. Almost as if she bloomed while learning self, social, and sexual awareness and acceptance. Did I mention I can’t wait for book 2?

Cyberpunk, Age Gap, Reverse Harem hotness🔥🔥🔥
This is my first Cyberpunk romance and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I wasn’t sure what to expect but Smauggy always brings it and I was quickly hooked into the story🙌🏾.
I warmed up to Tessa easily. She had an innocence to her due to a sheltered upbringing, a disability and an outward appearance she was self conscious of due to an accident. I was happy she had great friends, Sam and Kenny often hyped her up and I loved watching her become more confident and expressive throughout the book🥰. I admit Kenny is a sweetheart and so supportive of Tessa I do hope the best for him😘. The Eternals Cassius, Cicero and Kal-El are three sexy hot professors whom all become enamored with Tessa🥵🔥🥵. All with a different attraction, the way they spend time with her and the way things heat up is everything😈. I was a bit perturbed by the way Professor Dwyer treated the students, I hope to learn more in the next book.
It ends in a huge cliffhanger and I can only imagine what more will be uncovered in the next book. This was an awesome book for me to get into this new genre and I highly recommend it. You won’t be dissapointed.

The science Biology major in me was in heaven reading this book.
Trigger Warnings:
Disabilities
Reverse Harem
Bullying
Depression
Sheltered upbringing
Tessa deals with the pain of losing her mother, her father becoming paralyzed and her having a metal plate on the side of her head...not mention becoming deaf in one of her ears from a tragic car accident. The one thing that brings her joy is science and watching her favorite scientist discoveries and technological advancements through her screen. When a chance for her to meet and attend his school university comes about...it gives her a chance to not only fix her fathers legs, but to be dependant on herself. Well things don't go as planned especially when the steamy professors the Eternals come into the picture. The eternals Cicero, Cassius, and Kal-El are to die for sexy and too perfect to be real.
This was downright a perfect mixture of HAWTNESS, SMUTTY GOODNESS, and MYSTERY ...I love the science breakdowns in this book and the book was a 850 page one day read for me. I love it from beginning to end.

Wow, what a way to start a new series! I'm so in love, y'all!! 😍😫🔥💛
Aside from the storyline and the sexiness that is Cicero, Cassius, and Kal-El, the best thing was seeing Tessa grow into her own as the story progressed, while still maintaining the characteristics that make her who she is; innocent, vulnerable, and empathetic. I don't always like it when a character is established having very distinct characteristics, only to completely lose those characteristics in favor of becoming a self-proclaimed "badass." I also really, really loved getting to read about a disabled, Black heroine. We don't see this much at all in Romance, and it was highly refreshing. Tessa's conversations with others using ASL were my absolute favorite to read!
I took one star away because I really wanted to feel more of the cyberpunk aspect within the story. Hoping we get to see more of it in the next book!
Overall, I already knew Smauggy was gonna give the girls what we needed, and she delivered!! 💛💛💛

The Plot Thickens in the Smauggy Universe
This is a remarkably written work of fiction. The perfect brew for a cyberpunk fantasy journey. Smauggy’s imagination is endless as clearly referenced in the pages of this book. Black brilliance at its best. Of her books I have read to date, this one stands out amongst the rest. It was more personal for her as she so skillfully incorporated pieces of her own life circumstances into Tessa’s character arc. Tessa with her brilliant mind lived a life of a cloistered nun…insulated from many real-life experiences which is prevalent in her naïveté. As well, her disability contributed to her feelings of ineptness making her withdraw from most social interactions. The 3 Eternals, Cicero, Cassius and Kal-El are beautifully intense and captivated me on a whole other level. I was struck by the mastery of this storyline and can’t wait for the series continuation in book 2. To put it plainly, this book should not be missed.

The Eternals Book 1
This book definitely has Tess’s backstory, but what about the Eternals?
Professor D. was everything I expected a genius to be (condescending)
The way he annihilated Kenny was downright cruel.
Why build a school for geniuses and never truly provide growth…
Did Professor D. short-circuit on his month sabbatical…
How will Tess and the Eternals move forward when Professor D. create tension…
Will Kenny and Tess become enemies with the potential division if the Eternals starts training program with Kenny…
Since the Professor is threatened by Tessa, what will happen…
Will the Eternals become stronger with Tess’s assistance…
Can Tess and Professor put aside dissension to save the world…
Will the Eternals figure out that they’re more in-tuned to feelings that they were taught…
Will Tess leave and discard Eternals due to them revealing their true identity…
Did the Professor know Tess’s mom?

Smauggy strikes again-spoilers
Smauggyyyy!! Girll! Another great book but mad at you for this cliffhanger ma'am but I knownyoull makeup for it in book 2. So many Highs and lows throughout but everything got me thinking what the connection is between Tessa's mom and Professor Dwyer?!?! Have this feeling there was an affair there and/or he was the cause of the accident. Curious at the connection because how the heck did Cicero know/familiar with Tessa's mom's song andhow did Tessa know/familiar with the new symphony Cicero was creating? Now I'm also curious of what the project really is. And what is up with Tessa's nightmares and the pain coming back? Wondering how she reacts after hearing that her fellas were created by Orion.

Yes!!!!!!!!!!
Where do I start…. I have been waiting for The Eternals to be released. Let me tell the book did not disappoint. I was three days invested reading nonstop. I couldn’t put the book down.
I love the professors. My favorite one was Kal-El. Also, I love Kenny's character too. I kept trying to find a fault in him, so I can understand why Teresa belonged to the professors, but I couldn’t. He is so perfect.
Ugh, it ended on a cliffhanger. I typically wait for entire series to be completed before I read, but Smauggy Universe is one of my favorite authors, and I couldn’t do that to myself.
The story was sooooo good. Please read. You will not be disappointed.

Smauggy does it again
After hearing the author say it’s a slow burn 🔥 it’s a slow burn in my head ok it’s 850 pages i’ll take my time and slowly read this book! Tell me why with a full time job, adult responsibilities I ate this book up within two days. IDK what kind of hold this author has on me but sis had me hooked. From Tessa learning herself and exploring what she likes, from the personalities of the Eternals, from Sam’s antics, from deciding if i like Kenny (or if he is working for the opps) still on the fence. this was a great foundation now i just need part two to get the answers!

It was a good story.
It was a good story but so slow building. I must read book two to have a better understanding of what is going on and understand why the Prof was so mean and why he created three robots. I look forward to the next book. I was sad about her mom but her dad and her mom best friend had her back always. I feel like she should have stay with Kenny he really like her and feel they could be a beautiful couple but the heart wants what the heart's wants. I love her roommate she was so wonderful and understanding, now everyone need a crazy friend like her in their life! As always happy reading.😘😊

Greatly enjoyed
Overall, I enjoyed this story. Having a genius heroine obsessively loved by 3 hot humanoids - perfect. My frustration was waiting for the reveal. Once i got to 60% of the story, it became obvious that this was part of a sequel. Therefore, I was ready for it to wrap up. It was also frustrating not to read the guys have orgasms. I know they are humanoids but still. Then some of the passages were confusing. But still a great read and I'm looking forward to book 2.

Loved this book.
I would just say, as a musician, a lot of the musical terminology didn’t make sense. For instance, she kept saying Cassius played symphonies, but a symphony is a composition for orchestra, so a singular instrument can’t play a symphony by nature of the word. A musical composition is a piece for instance, not a song.
It was an enjoyable read but as a classical musician the terminology made me confused at points because the words were being used incorrectly (I am aware this is a very niche experience which is why the story was still 5 stars for me)

But baby when I tell you this book was so good! Tessa is the campus genius at OIT. Cicero, Kal-El, and Cassius are the campus's best professors who were more than willing to lend a helping hand (amongst other things...🫣). In the first book of this series, Tessa and her professors find themselves navigating through life, school, and the mysterious Professor Dwyer. I love that Smauggy incorporated her disablitty into the storyline. For me the best part was the aquarium scene with Ume.

This book isn’t for me. After reading tens of reverse harem novels over the years, I think I’ve reached the end of my tether.
The FL was too naive, in fact laughably so. The MLs were juvenile despite being easily twice her age. Any seasoned reader could see the “secrets” coming miles away. I happily sped read just to get to the end.
At least this book has shown me what type of book I don’t want to read in the near future.

So Captivating
This book was so well written. The level of detail and descriptiveness were so balanced that I was sucked into the story right away. I found myself rooting for Tessa, Cicero, Cassius, and Kal-El to find their way to happiness. Smauggy writes characters who are distinct and developed in such a way you feel you already know them.

omg goodness
What is there to say about this amazing book except it’s amazing. But that’s not surprising, considering who are the writers she’s just amazing at building storyline and characters and can I just say that she built some amazing characters.
Can’t wait for the next book

Not quite sure what I just read🤔, but I was entertained😁. Imagine a school for the super intelligent ran by an evil Professor X like figure, and his three sexy biogenetic prodigies. Do you like 🧬 science fiction? Do you like spice 🥵🔥? Welp this might just be for you. It takes a while to get there, but the plot seems to take off about a quarter of the way. 🫡 happy reading!

Love this story
Smauggy, you did it again. I am so proud of you. Every book you come out with, take me on a ride! They do. I am glad for the cliffhanger as I was not ready for their story to end. I am looking forward to the next book. I am sensing some time traveling happening here.

Cliffhangers
I loved the characters of this story. Everyone added to the story. The tragic story of the heroine's beginning was tragic. It pulled emotions from me. She timidly began a new life and met extraordinary people. This was her awakening, I'm curious to see where it leads

Intense
This book is definitely intriguing. I could not stop reading it...2 days to complete it.
The heart of the book is surreal; full of emotions, events, hopes, dreams, and disappointment, tragedy.
Anxiously awaiting the 2nd book.

Love it
I knew it was a cliffhanger but I wasn’t expecting it to end there. I really enjoyed this book, Tessa and Sam are my favorites. For right now the eternals are getting on my nerves and professor Dwyer. Hopefully that changes in the second book can’t wait to read it.

Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, I could not put the book down. Book ended on a cliff hanger and book was perfect. Hit different emotions at different times from laughing. Anticipation, sadness and excitement. And a little hot 😉 looking forward to book two release in December. 💗

science for the win
As someone in the science field I fricken loved this book with its references. Tessa was a boss. She’s intelligent and she embraces it! The representation in this book was amazing.

First of all, this did not feel like a 800+ page read at all I enjoyed every second of it. The men and the smut is chef's kiss. I love the fmc Tessa but I hope in book 2 she talk her ish more because she really that girl. Can't wait for the next one!
