My rating:
Blurb: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.
So this one was short and not sweet. Lol, it went gang busters from the very beginning. I was sad we only got Mel’s POV cause in Vicious I really liked the alternate POV’s. I guess in this one it wasn’t really necessary. I don’t think that Jaime intended to fall in love with his teacher, it was just a fantasy for him at first. And I don’t think Mel was looking for more than a fling anyway. But it was always more than sex with them. LJ Shen’s writing is so emotion centric and a bit angst ridden. Now I’m not really an angsty kinda girl, I find it a bit immature for the most part but in these books it’s not over the top so I enjoy it more. I greatly enjoyed how we got to know more about the four hotholes as they are called in this, and I am really glad we got that insight cause the first book didn’t really give us much depth on the others except Vic. I’ve decided to read all these books and the All Saint’s High series as well.
I read this entire series. Ruckus and Bane were my faves. This was my least in that series. You enjoying it this much gives me hope you’re going to love the rest of the series. I have also read the first 2 books in the All Saint’s High series. They aren’t as good as this original series in my opinion. Her writing has gotten more aggressive and some of the stuff tends to hit me wrong. I read some reviews of the newest and I am skipping it. I will be interested in hearing your thoughts on all of them.
