Defy by L.J. Shen
5.0
A teacher, a student, a forbidden relationship.
"So... truth or dare?"
"Dare," I teased.
I dare you to look me in the eye and tell me you don't have feelings for me."
I'd originally read this as part of an anthology. I loved it then and I love this version even more now.
No toe hair. A keeper.
The story itself was everything. Well-written, fast-paced, sexy, funny, sweet (yes, I said 'sweet').
It was the perfect taboo love story. Ms. L.J. Shen managed to make this all very believable, she made her characters come to life.
Made me wish I was Mel, 'cause come on, who doesn't want a whole chunk of Jaime, he's demanding, he's rough, he's hot, he's ALPHA.
This story is the prequel to LJ's brand new series called Sinners of Saint, with (cue dreamy sigh) Vicious (I can't get over this man) being book 1. You do NOT have to read these in order but in my honest opinion, you should.
I cannot wait for the rest of the HotHoles.
P.S. If LJ is writing it, I'm reading it. This lady knows what the f__k she's doing!
