Really nice in every aspect except:
(2) her prominent eye seems a touch OOF. For this close up, I would like it to be razor sharp
for the rest (and I see this *a lot*) so it is a pet peeve of mine:
Cut and paste facial expression throughout. It is easy to have a sultry, open mouth look, what is difficult is to vary the expressions throughout the set.

Always interesting to see how the viewer is reflected in the critique. Sexy wasn’t on my list of things to accomplish with the images. The close crops, in particular.

Well-captured images! I like the poses of the model quite a bit. The open mouth? Maybe a tad too frequent in that series but not something that I would write if off. The skin tone is a little on the orangey side for my taste although I understand that your location in LA is sunny and a lot of models are quite tan. For that reason, I prefer the B&W version a little more but both versions work great.

I am really enjoying this beautiful and sultry woman in B/W. The mouth open does present to me a conflict. She is too beautiful to need it. Her sultry beauty comes with her, a part of her.
But my opinions are that of a viewer here. Portrait photography is a science unto itself!! One in which I lack and substance to.
