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. At 26 years old, she's not completely sure what she wants to do with herself, but she knows she isn't destined to teach. Jaime is her 18 year 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, insta-lust and insta-love 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 Ruckus.
