Review: Defy

Title: Defy
Author: LJ Shen
(May contain Spoilers)
Synopsis:
Defy is a smutty, insta-love, insta-lust short novella. Defy is a prequel to Vicious (Sinners of Saint #1). It is recommended, but unnecessary, to read Defy before reading Vicious.
First included in Hot for Teacher Anthology: 19 Stories Filled with Lust and Love.
My name is Melody Greene, and I have a confession to make.
I slept with my student, a senior in high school.
Multiple times.
I had multiple orgasms.
In multiple positions.
I slept with my student and I enjoyed it.
I slept with my student and I’d do it all over again if I could turn back time.
My name is Melody Greene, and I got kicked out of my position as a teacher and did my walk of shame a la Cersei Lannister from the principal’s office, minutes after said principal threatened to call the cops on me.
My name is Melody Greene, and I did something bad because it made me feel good.
Here is why it was totally worth it.

Review:
Yes i am just finally getting to the Hotholes- and am reading Defy as my introduction to them.
This was a nice quick read, filled with a forbidden relationship, hot sex, and a happy ever after.
It follows the story of Melody Greene, who is now a teacher after her dance career came to a halt after breaking her leg (literally).
She is a teacher at All Saints High in Todos Santos California, home to entitled rich kids, and the Hotholes- Jamie, Vicious, Dean & Trent, and a principal from hell Mrs. Followhill.
When she is bumped into the privileged student Jamie’s SUV in the school parking lot- how could anything get any worse? She is already on the verge of losing her job, she’s being kicked out of her apartment, and she is hardly has any money to her name being in debt. But the newly 18 year old takes the blame- and the only thing he wants in return? A fling until school ends & he moves out of town for college. Until things become complicated. The Hotholes are gearing up for trouble- but the question is will Melody be the one to take the fall?
I give this 4 ⭐ out of 5 ⭐. It was a great quick read, & intro into the hotholes, and i cannot wait to read the rest & learn more about them!

Reread: Broken Bonds

  Title: Broken Bonds  Series: Bonds That Tie  Author: J Bree Release Date: June 2021 After the death of my mother and her Bonded, I was relieved to find my own Bonds.

After five years on the run, I’m caught and dragged back to face the men I ran away from. I thought I was doing the right thing. Now, I’m not so sure. North, Nox, Gryphon, Atlas, and Gabe may never forgive me but one thing is for sure. I won’t ever forgive myself. *Broken Bonds is a full length reverse harem PNR novel with material that may be difficult for some readers. This book will end on a cliffhanger. It's recommended for 18+ due to language and sexual situations. Goodreads | Amazon   So I am rereading the Bonds that Tie series to read the newest release Broken Ties.
