So I got Vicious from Netgally a while back(sorry I totally forgot I had it). I decided I would read it, and seen the whole series was on my audible romance package. So I thought wow this is fate. I need to read the whole series, and downloaded Defy. I love me some taboo romances. The forbidden fruit is so yummy. And while I enjoyed this read, I didn't care for the Melody. I loved Jaime. The problem was 18 year old Jaime felt more like the adult and 26 Melody came off like a 12 year old wannabe. The things she would think or say were so dorky and cringy that that they would throw me out of the story. I would be just getting into the read becoming absorbed in the world and then Melody, who was 26 mind you, would come out of no where with one of these zinger


I might have an easier time rejecting him if he weren’t a female lubricant


Eww or

Seriously, the kid was so ripped, his guns were the size of fucking bowling balls.

Guns really ?? or

What can I say? Booze and eighteen-year-old jocks who are hung like a horse made this girl hella happy.

and my favorite cringe

I took a brief moment to process the fact that I had my student’s one-eyed snake staring right back at me

one eye snake for really are we 12? OMG then there was the fact that Jizz was used one time too many! As in anytime the word Jizz is used it's too many. Now saying all that I think Melody would have came off better had this been a full length novel. I think a bit more development would have went a long way in making her more understandable and less dorky. Jaime was a dream and I am glad I read this book. It gave me a view into Vicious and the others guys and got me interest in their HEA.

Sarah D Thank you for the laughs this review gave me. I mean really 😆 I was about to start Vicious and wanted to know if I really needed to read this prequel first. At least now I know what I’m in for lol
