Again feeling like this is my favorite book of Shen’s..... she does have a lot of those you read them and really feel like everyone of them is your favorite!
I feel like you can’t compare Shen to other writers - she is just on a whole different level from everyone ... she will ruin you to the point where you can’t read any other books but hers💖💖💖💖💖💖
I almost didn’t want to read this book, because by accident I read the story of their daughter first and didn’t love the story that much, definitely didn’t love Melody after that story - so maybe it’s good that i have pretty low expectations of this couple... especially given it’s a teacher student couple.... and I couldn’t imagine that being any good ... until I read this book.
BUt the story literally captures you from the first page. Shen just writes so well, her dialogues are so witty, so funny, so captivating - you just simmer in her talent... and enjoy every word. She just has that fun bouncy aura around her....
She cracks me up and her writing voice is fun and just so vivacious.....the tempo is always bubbly and bouncy like a happy song as if she is skipping and smiling while writing the story...
That wow factor is definitely there...... also also fun fact she is the master of play on words - opening this book I thought that it was a story about a weekend fighter full of anger and need for
Bruises (don’t even know how I decided to read this book) but you know all her words always hold a deeper meaning....... 💖💖💖💖 she thrives on setting up a cliche and then destroying it and shattering all expectations. This book was so good reader doesn’t even have time to get set up for a cliche that’s how fast she moves the story along.
The story was AMAZING💖💖💖💖💖characters are loyal fierce confident and faithful with a great sense of humor.
Melody loved to dance but when an unforeseen accident derailed her dream, she is left with the only option of being a teacher. With bills piling up, Melody’s financial are very tight so she needs this teaching job. When Jaime, a high school senior sort of blackmails Melody, she is in a rude awakening when this student informs her that he wants to do filthy and sexual things to her. Melody should be alarmed by Jaime, since he is the son of the Principal but she agrees to his after school lesson of foreplay and orgasms.
Jaime and Melody both laid out the rules of their secret liaison, that this thing between them stays between them and it ends the minute he graduates. Well, it didn’t take long for either Melody and Jaime to develop feelings for one another. Melody is well aware that she slept with her student but she loved it. She loved this sexual awakening that Jaime ignited in her. But what happens when Jaime’s mom discovers this secret affair? Will Melody defy others whom may consider their relationship wrong and follow her heart?
“I wanted him to kiss me. Kiss me hard and soft all at once, a kiss that’d assure me that I wasn’t crazy for discovering what I’d just discovered on this tattered sofa in this tiny apartment. That I was in love with my student.”
Defy was a fun, sexy, and steamy novella that pushes the boundaries of love and defiance. This forbidden morsel was layered with seduction and grittiness that I didn’t want their story to end. As much as I loved reading about Jaime and Melody’s secret affair, I loved that L.J. Shen was able to introduce Viscous, a secondary character that will be getting his own book next. I seriously can’t wait for his book. But in the meantime, if you are looking for a hot, seductive, and titillating forbidden romance that was both naughty and nice then this novella is definitively for you.

I enjoyed it anyway, but I think that town is full of crazy people!
Lo que empieza con un accidente en el aparcamiento de la escuela, sigue con un chantaje y acaba en una relación prohibida entre alumno y profesora.
Jaime is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.
"Jaime looked like the lovechild of Ryan Gosling and Channing Tatum, and I was not making this sh*t up."
Even though this is a novella it sure packs a steamy, sexy AF punch!! C'mon seriously who doesn't love a great taboo read. This one has taboo written all over it. Teacher/student how could you go wrong.
"And just like that, ladies and gentlemen, my quivering thighs and glassy eyes suffered a bad case of ice-cold bucket of rage."
OMG this one is off the charts AMAZING!!! BTW prepare to be shocked but this was my first LJ Shen book. I know crazy right. Not my last, definitely not my last. Already started in on Vicious & well I'll get to that one in my next review but you do meet him in this one.
"If Vicious was the evil one, and Dean was the stoner one, and Trent was the lost, beautiful soul searching for its mate, Jaime was the cement that glued them together. He was the guy you could always count on. And I was starting to count on him too."
Ms. Shen has gained a new fan that's for sure because the story line was so on point, the heat factor was spot on & for a novella the pacing was perfect. Loved that she added the epilogue that not only let us see 2 years in the future but also 6 years.
Did I love it? YES, YES, YES!!!!!
