Even though it's just a novella, this is probably the best teacher/student/different aged coupling story I've read in a very long time (possibly ever). I loved the message that age is just a number and love is love. I do wish that this would have been longer than a novella, but I swooned for the epilogue and finally getting Jamie's point of view. I still really, really enjoyed this, but I think if it had been set in college, and Mel was his professor, I would have been totally sold. Sometimes he definitely acted his age, but others left me a bit skeptical. He just seemed too mature and experienced for an 18 year old. I think the hardest part for me about this taboo tale was that Jamie was so young. Sometimes it was shock and disgust, and just as quickly it turned to lust and swooning. This is my first introduction to the Hotholes and what an introduction it was! My emotions went back and forth reading this little novella. Her books have been sold to twenty different countries and have appeared on some of their bestseller lists. She likes to write about unapologetic alpha males and the women who bring them to their knees. I just wish authors would stop with the practice of what feels like duping the reader. LJ Shen’s prequel to the Sinners of Saints series is a hot short novella to set the scene and introduce you to the world of the Four HotHoles. Shen is a USA Today, Washington Post, and Amazon 1 bestselling author of contemporary, new adult, and romance titles. If I wanted that much of a story I would download the sample.īut yes, I liked the book, I liked the dual POV of both of the main characters, and I liked the resolution. Having a quick blurb about a story is one thing, but having a whole chapter is too much. I don’t like it when I think I have x% of a book, especially a good one, and it just stops. Why the three stars? Because the book ends at 77%, SEVENTY-SEVEN PERCENT! I understand that the book is really a novella, but I was in no way expecting it to end so quickly. It made me love the bad boy HotHoles even more. I liked the taboo nature of the story (all parties are of the age of consent) and it was executed well. I really liked this story, I liked Melody and Jamie and their relationship was HOT.

I read Vicious, the first book in the series, before I read this one (Vicious came out first) so I had a little bit of an idea of what was going on, since the book dropped hints several times about what was going on.
