Free Defy (Sinners Of Saint, #0.5) Presented By L.J. Shen Digital
I'll admit it, I read Vicious first, and was so very interested in Jaime's story, So when I had the opportunity to get my hands on Defy, I immediately oneclicked it and as soon as I had time I devoured this novella in one sitting!
Since I read Vicious first, I already knew how Jaime and Mel's story was going to end up, but that didn't stop me from wanting to see how these two ended up.
Jaime is a cocky senior and one of the Hotholes, He can do whatever he wants and he knows it, Mel is his teacher and has had her dreams ruined, She wants nothing to do with teaching, but with her lifelong dream of being a dancer down the drain, she's stuck in a job she hates and is about to lose.
When Jaime propositions her, she knows its wrong, but there's something about him, and she just can't say no,
These two are so wrong for one another, yet so right, Their relationship is forbidden, yet they can't stay away from one another, You know it's wrong, yet you can't stop rooting for these two, They bring out the best in one another, I adored these two together and how real they were with one another, Mel seems to bring out the good in Jaime, even though he is still bad, She can't control him, but she gets him, and he pushes her to follow her dreams,
This was a quick read that gives you everything you could ask for! Sex, drama, forbidden love, and so much hotness your kindle will feel like it's going to catch on fire! If you've read Vicious, or if you haven't, and are wanting some sexiness and forbidden romance, definitely oneclick this novella today, you won't regret it! So I got Vicious from Netgally a while backsorry I totally forgot I had it.
I decided I would read it, and seen the whole series was on my audible romance package, So I thought wow this is fate, I need to read the whole series, and downloaded Defy, I love me some taboo romances, The forbidden fruit is so yummy, And while I enjoyed this read, I didn't care for the Melody, I loved Jaime. The problem wasyear old Jaime felt more like the adult andMelody came off like ayear old wannabe.
The things she would think or say were so dorky and cringy that that they would throw me out of the story.
I would be just getting into the read becoming absorbed in the world and then Melody, who wasmind you, would come out of no where with one of these zinger
I might have an easier time rejecting him if he werent a female lubricant
Eww or
Seriously, the kid was so ripped, his guns were the size of fucking bowling balls.
Guns really or
What can I say Booze and eighteenyearold jocks who are hung like a horse made this girl hella happy.
and my favorite cringe
I took a brief moment to process the fact that I had my students oneeyed snake staring right back at me
one eye snake for really are weOMG then there was the fact that Jizz was used one time too many! As in anytime the word Jizz is used it's too many.
Now saying all that I think Melody would have came off better had this been a full length novel, I think a bit more development would have went a long way in making her more understandable and less dorky.
Jaime was a dream and I am glad I read this book, It gave me a view into Vicious and the others guys and got me interest in their HEA, I wish this were apage novel instead of a novella, . .
Normally I never prefer to read a novella as they do not satisfy me at all, They make me feel as if chapters of a long novel have been torn apart and I am reading what is left.
Things happen too quickly, there is not enough depth to the characters etc, But I had to read this because it was about one of the HotHoles of Saint High! Having fallen in love with VICIOUS, I had to read about his friend Jamie.
Although Ms. Shen writes very skilfully and beautifully, the whole thing feels just “not enough”, I couldnt get enough of the lovely couple, The taste of it still lingers with me but it was not enough at all, I am used to long novels,
I loved the couple and the plot line, I just didn't like how their relationship started,
This is the hot and interesting story of Jamie and his literature teacher, Melody, who isyears older than him.
The story is told by Melanie, only, I dont mind the age difference and here especially, the age difference is not felt at all because, in all his physical glory and alpha character, Jamie sounds like a man rather than anyearold boy.
Some nice quotes from it:
One of the sexiest guys at schoolstalked me.
Why did I have to be a teacher Shit like that never happened when I was a student!
“Ms.
Greene ” His forehead and nose crushed into mine, both our eyes still wide and exploring, Our chests panted against one another, “This ” His hand dunked under my dress and between my thighs, His index finger traveled along my wet slit through the fabric of my cotton underwear, pokingnot pushing, in a torturous tease.
“Is mine until school ends, I will eat it, fuck it, play with it, and sleep in it if I want to, And I want to. I wanna do all those things to you, ”
So lost, So confused. So fucking mine. Owning someone has never felt this good,
Thats the problem with society, It cares too much about who you fall in love with but never about the why, The why matters, people. The who is irrelevant.
By the way, there were glimpses of the young VICIOUS, . .
Here is one of them:
I sometimes wondered if Viciouss parents conceived him on Hitlers tombstone or if his mom had a freak accident involving poison and voodoo while she was pregnant.
He was too scary for a teenager,
Too dangerous for someone who grew up in presumptuous suburbia,
Too dead for a living human, I actually really enjoyed Defy! It was so passionate and intense and HOT! This story was about a forbidden love involving an age difference.
It was about a student and teacher falling headoverheels in love, The teacher was female and there was anyear age gap between the two characters, I liked Melody and Jamie and the way their relationship developed, I was also glad that Vicious made an appearance as well!!
It was wrong, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't like how wrong it felt.
Whether I was corrupting or being corrupted, . . I loved how it made me feel, Melody
Defy had everything I love in a book the illicit thrill of the affair, amazing chemistry and hot scenes.
There was some angst and drama, but it was balanced nicely with humorous banter and some memorable characters, The stress of whether or not Melody and Jamie would get caught was killing me, I certainly was rooting for them, Melody and Jamie made the perfect couple, I absolutely loved their chemistry, In the end, they got their happily ever after, And I couldn't be happier about how their story ended,
The authors narrative was fun, witty and touching, The character development, the back stories, the relationships, the love, the sex, it all just spoke to me, This was a wonderful story of two people who didn't want to find love but love found them, Anyone who loves a good romance with a lot of steam this is a book for you to read, Funny and hard to put down once you start,

sitelink Oh wow! Jaime was crazy hot.
Emphasis on him being a little loco, But his cray cray was hot too lol! What is in the water in Todos Santos that has created such fine specimens of manliness I honestly couldn't get enough of Jaime.
Even
though the story is told primarily from Melody's perspective, I was anxiously waiting to see what he would say or do next.
After a failed career as a ballet dancer, Melody finds herself teaching at a high school for the extra privileged.
Atyears old, she's not completely sure what she wants to do with herself, but she knows she isn't destined to teach.
Jaime is heryear old student and she's as drawn to him as he is to her, He's far from the average high school student, Frankly, he was ALL man, I found him more than man enough to give Melody EXACTLY what she needed, wink
As described, this was a smutty, instalust and instalove novella, Jaime was incredibly inappropriate and hella sexy while Melody was absolutely adorable with a witty dialogue, I especially loved the epilogues and I can't wait to continue the series with sitelinkRuckus,
