Misbehaved
New from Best-selling author Charleigh Rose Remington Stringer has never been like most girls. She’s outspoken, brazen and wants nothing more than to escape the Nevadan hell hole that she calls home. On the brink of eighteen, with a deceased mother and a well-meaning, yet absent father, she is forced to fend for herself. The only person she’s ever had to depend on is her borderline obsessive stepbrother, Ryan. But, what used to be her anchor is quickly becoming a loose cannon. When Remi gets the opportunity to attend the best private school in the state during her senior year of high school, she jumps at the chance. Then she meets Mr. James. Ornery, aloof, and totally irresistible. Most girls would swoon in secrecy. Most girls would doodle his name with hearts in their notebook. But Remi Stringer has never been like most girls.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2! Misbehaved (stand-alone). Student trying to escape her past goes head to head with her debate teacher!
“I want to mark her. I want to fuck her. I want to do things that I cannot justify. Not as a lawyer. Not as a teacher. Not as a man. And not as a decent human being.”
Misbehaved (stand-alone) opens up to the miserable existence of high school student Remington Nicole Stringer, Remi. Neglected by her father and left in the hands of her increasingly possessive stepbrother Remi is looking for a way out. Thanks to a scholarship she gets to attend a preppy school in the exclusive part of town.
Debate teacher and former attorney Pierce James aka Mr. James is man with many secrets. He’s not looking for an entanglement with a student. But the moment they meet sparks fly. While they battle in class and try to resist their intense attraction, Pierce discovers they have a connection… a very dangerous one that can ruin everything.
Seven words to describe Pierce James aka Mr. James: Moody, stubborn, nurturing, possessive, conflicted, elusive and secretive.
Seven words to describe Remington Nicole Stringer, Remi: Determined, neglected, strong, lonely, private, independent and captivating.
Misbehaved, told from dual POVs, is a forbidden romance taking us on a journey of settings rights and making peace with one’s past; forgiveness, truth and healing. It ends on a high months later, but I’d welcome an extended epilogue years into their future.
“This girl is lethal. Somehow, I know she’ll be the end of me, but I can’t bring myself to care. Because this right here? Would be worth a thousand deaths.”

“This is not a love story.
This is not even a hate story.
This is a cautionary tale.
This was so much more than what I was expecting and I loved every minute of it!! This wasn’t just a typical student/teacher romance that had a bit of angst and some drama sprinkled in, this was a STORY about loss, secrets, and finding out who you are and what you’re meant to be. This was forbidden romance at it’s best.
Starting your Senior year in a new school is not an easy task. Being the new girl that comes from the wrong side of the tracks that is frowned upon, Remington knows it’s going to be a very long year. But her year just got a whole lot more complicated when a brooding hot as hell, sex on sticks, becomes one of her teachers. Can you say FML?!
Pierce James has been through his fair share of personal issues for the past few years. Teaching a bunch of high society kids the art of debate and giving them the tools to try to make it on their own in the real world, let’s just say it’s a miracle he doesn’t drink. REGULARLY. But there’s more to him than meets the eye and with secrets of his own, this year is going to be one he’s never going to forget. Especially when Remington Stringer takes a seat in his class.
“Sometimes secrets ruin lives. But sometimes they save them.
I loved the fact that this story was different and it so many different layers to it. Pierce and Remington were some of the best characters I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading about and their complexities were portrayed in a real and honest matter which I loved. Remington was a strong heroine and I admired the fact that she didn’t complain a lot about her personal issues and she didn’t have blinders on.
One of the things that I love about reading is when I feel the connection between the characters and how genuine it is. I can honestly say that I FELT the connection between Pierce and Remington down to my bones!! These two had an unbreakable bond before they even knew it themselves and I loved watching everything unfold between them. Now don’t get me wrong, a certain someone frustrated the hell out of me during that time but I understood that it had to be done that way. That being said, can we talk about the sexual tension?!!! Holy Shiiiiiiit
If you think you’ve read this kind of student/teacher romance before, trust me you haven’t. You’re definitely going to get the forbidden aspect to it but you’re also getting a hell of a lot more. Secrets, lies, betrayal, fitting in to a perfect society, and falling in love when you least expected it is what’s going to have you flipping the pages at warp speed in this story. So if you’re ready to be bad, then “Misbehaved” is the perfect read for you. But don’t wait too long, Mr. James is not a fan of tardiness.

I like this cover. I am generally not a huge fan of just a half-dressed woman for a cover but this one works and it a good representation of the story. What I ADORE about the cover though is the typography. I am in LOVE with that font, and I especially like that it looks like it has been written on a chalkboard.
What a surprising little book this turned out to be. I thought I was getting a quick dirty little student/teacher book and what I ended up with was so much more complex and multi-layered than that. This was seriously one of the best student/teacher books I have read.
This was fantastically well written. Had a nice pace to it. It was a slow burn but the sexual tension was OFF THE CHARTS. It had two likable and well developed main characters (Heroine starts the book 17 but turns 18 later in the book. The hero is 29). Had a great cast of secondary characters. Especially Ryan who was the character that left me the most conflicted. All wrapped up with an epilogue that was sweet but I wish we would have gotten a look even further into this couple's future.
Overall though this one ticked ALL my boxes so two HUGE thumbs up from your truly.

5 Brazen Girl Stars ⭐
A young student from the wrong side of the tracks and a teacher who is taking a concerning amount of interest in her well being. Except unbeknown to them both, their paths are irrevocably entangled.
With beauty and brains, most girls her age would be fussing over their wardrobes and boys; but Remington Stringer isn’t that girl. Instead she has a father that is absent and a stepbrother who is borderline manic and becoming more volatile every day. Remi has the golden ticket within her grasp, if she can survive the year.
Pierce James is the epitome of professionalism especially when teaching teenagers and entitled ones at that. Accept his new student has a way of testing that resolve. Especially once he realises that his judgements of Remi are way off base.
"She’s a temptress through and through, but the bad girl act, I suspect, is just that. An act. She’s an innocent wrapped in a body made up of every sin I’ve ever wanted to commit."
Oh, how I loved both characters and the unspoken game they find themselves in. Because beyond their association, there is something sinister in the background that binds them. Not to mention the lingering attraction. And Pierce can barely hold it together as her brand of seduction ignites him.
"Our lust is thick and heavy in the air. It’s not just me, I know. It’s us. He wants to kiss me. He wants me to seduce him. Wants to pin this on me. Not this time. This time, he will own up to wanting me. To wanting this."
The teacher/student trope isn’t new. However, Misbehaved takes it to a whole new level of distinction. This is a well thought out story which will have you feeling uncomfortable and gutted in parts. Fortunately, there is a silver lining that allows you to catch your breath and happily overlook how inappropriate their feelings are. This is no cliché seduction as there is a lot at stake for both Pierce and Remi, but holy hotness was it delicious watching this saga unfold…
"Miss Stringer," I say.
"On my desk." She drops to her knees and crawls deeper into the room on all fours, her ass daring me somehow.
And I’m done for. Officially and entirely hers.

Most of this was honestly a 3 star read, but the last few chapters got on my nerves way too much and I had to take off a star. Sadly my first Charleigh Rose book didn’t impress :(

3 Stars
Overall Opinion: This was, sadly, another book that I wonder if I read a different version. It could also be the book funk I’ve been in, but it seems like everyone loved this while I didn’t. I’m not a huge fan of revenge type themes and I got a feeling that I should let this go onto my DNF shelf once it seemed to be going that way early on, but I stuck with it until the end in hopes that it would tap into my emotions like it seemed to have for many other readers. I never really connected to the characters to get emotional for them and I didn’t feel their connection to each other (past lust) either. I’m going with another middle of the road rating because while I didn’t love it, I didn’t hate it either.
Brief Summary of the Storyline: This is Remi and Pierce’s story. Remi is given the opportunity to start her senior year at a prestigious private school and she is taking it as a way to get away from her absent father and unstable step-brother. Pierce is her debate teacher and they meet on the first day. They clash immediately while sparks of lust fly. Pierce is used to teenage admiration, but there is something different about Remi that causes him to get involved in her life. There are some secrets held and revealed, some sexy times, and some drama...and they get a HFN ending.
Point Of View (POV): This alternated between Remi and Pierce’s POV.
Overall Pace of Story: Good. I never skimmed and I thought it flowed pretty well.
Instalove: No. Instalust? Yes.
H (Hero) rating: 3 stars. Pierce. He was alright. I never really felt like I connected with him.
h (heroine) rating: 3 stars. Remi. She was also just alright and I never felt like I connected to her either.
Sadness level: Low, no tissues needed
Push/Pull: Yes
Heat level: Hot. They have some hot tension, chemistry, and scenes -- but not so much it takes away from the story.
Descriptive sex: Yes
OW (Other Woman)/OM (Other Man) drama: Yes
Sex scene with OW or OM: No
Cheating: No
Separation: Yes
Possible Triggers: Yes
Closure: This had alright closure but I think it was what I would classify as a HFN ending. I felt like there could’ve been a more in depth ending for this couple.
Safety: This one should be Safe for most safety gang readers

3* unpopular STARS!
My first read from Charleigh Rose and it didn't meet my expectation. I'm totally in love with the cover. Student/teacher is one of my kryptonite because of the forbidden element. However, I tried to control the urge to DNF this with rolling my eyes too much.
Remington Stringer aka Remi is just an ordinary girl with normal childhood. She's not a homeless or having abusive family. Remi lives with her step-brother that she adored him too much. Her school life was pretty decent and didn't interest me. She's a lone wolf but thank god she befriend with someone that pretty interesting for me. Her step-brother is really disturbing with his touchy hands. Well, no father in the house, so... go figure. His douchy attitude already raised my red flag.
Mr. Pierce James is a teacher in Remi's elite school. His first thought about her is she's a woman enough not to be a student. Huh... Moving on, Mr. James has hidden agendas but he's suddenly intrigued with Remi's life also his douche step-brother. Remi keeps haunting his imagination and he couldn't see straight.
Both main character isn't memorable for me. Nothing's special. Of course, they're suddenly in lust. She wants him and he wants her. TADAA! But the sex isn't happened that moment. They're keeping in circle with slow-burn flirty acts. Mr. James acts like her knight in shinning armor to save Remi from the evil step-brother.
Apparently, Mr. James wants to get revenge and everything started to get cliche. He's in love with Remi but conflicted to tell her the truth. It angered her. Additional to the drama, her father is a total shit. Why? Just read it. Overall, it was nicely written but didn't wow me enough. Just a decent story. The lesson from this story is, people changed even your dear one.

She’s an innocent wrapped in a body made up of every sin I’ve ever wanted to commit. A good girl with bad intentions. Remington isn’t thinking about the consequences of her actions. I’m the adult—it’s my job to do the responsible thing.

... then my instincts, my body, my whole being, is screaming at me to take her.
I want to mark her.
I want to fuck her.
I want to do things that I cannot justify.

Sometimes secrets ruin lives. But sometimes they save them.
Uhm. This shit was deep. Misbehaved is a taboo student teacher romance, yes, but it is so much more than that.
Remington is a bright girl who has grown up on the wrong side of the tracks, but she is always working to better herself despite it.
Pierce James is a teacher at Remi's school, and even though he is a great teacher, who Remi is attracted to, there is so much more to him than that.
I don't want to spoil anything so I'm going to leave it at that. What I will say is this book is so much deeper than just a taboo romance. There were side characters that had deep stories. Remi & Pierces relationship was angsty, hot, and just everything to be honest.
I feel like this story was about secrets. This story was about not letting your circumstances determine your life. This story was about forgiveness and understanding. It was so good! Charleigh Rose has successfully hopped the line from smutty erotic novellas, into emotionally charged smutty new adult! Don't get me wrong, I love their smutty erotica! This book was new adult goodness and I need MORE! Give me more please??? Pleaseeee?

This was fun-ish but it was also pretty terrible. If you're really in the mood for something with a romance between a teacher and a student this was satisfying enough, but I don't think I would recommend it otherwise. Meh.
March 26, 2022
This is a student/teacher romance that I randomly decided to read, and I enjoyed it a lot! It follows this girl named Remington Stringer who has this borderline obsessive-controlling step brother named Ryan who wants to be with her romantically. Then she gets accepted into this fancy school, and her professor Pierce James is insanely attractive.
I really enjoyed the relationship between Remi and Ryan, and I thought it was written very well and the way they interacted was very interesting. Remi and Pierce have a lot of chemistry, and their banter was so hilarious and fun to read. All of their scenes together were great, and I enjoyed both of their characters together. I am just a sucker for forbidden romances.
However, there was one thing that kind of pissed me off because the author was trying to set up this "plot twist" that anyone could see coming from a mile away, and it's honestly offensive when authors think that their readers won't see that coming when it's so obvious. And it was really frustrating seeing Remi making some really bad decisions when you know she's so much smarter than that.
But this was a pretty good student/teacher romance, not only because of the chemistry between Remi and Pierce, but also because of the drama Remi's step brother Ryan added to the story. I love that it takes place in Las Vegas, and I love forbidden romances.

Honestly, I was interested in this book when I read the synopsis, but I knew I had to read it when that cover was revealed. And I had no idea that Charleigh Rose was a secret author duo! I had never read anything by them, so I was definitely excited to pick up this book.
Remington Stringer knows that she wants to get out of her trashy town in Nevada, but she has no idea how. That is, until her father tells her he is sending her to a prestigious high school for her senior year. This school could be Remi's answers to going to a good college and making a future for herself, a future where she doesn't have to depend on her stepbrother who has been getting a lot more…friendly…lately. Remi will not let anything ruin her chance of a future, but when she meets Mr. James, her fiery side comes out and she finds it harder to resist him. Mr. James keeps as far away from Remi as he can until he finds he just can't stay away any more.
Have you ever read a book that you were utter trash for and just could not put down until you were done? Yeah, that was me for this book. While in real life teacher-student relationships are SO WRONG and SHOULD NEVER BE DONE, I was so in love with this story. It's fiction! So it's not real! But I absolutely loved the chemistry between Remi and Mr. James and how, outside of school, Remi was an equal with him because of how mature she was and how much she had gone through in her life.
While I loved how our main characters were equal, their chemistry was also through the roof and I was absolutely in love with it. They both knew that they shouldn't want each other, but the more time they found themselves near each other, the harder it was to ignore. I liked how Remi was a strong character and had to deal with a lot on her own and how she was the perfect person to push Mr. James as he was dealing with some demons of his own.
Overall, I absolutely loved this book. There was insane chemistry and a strong storyline where I was really hopping Remi could find a good future for herself. This is definitely not a light, quick romance, but instead it's a complex, addicting romance that you'll find yourself reading for both the story and the chemistry. I couldn't recommend it enough!

I quickly become a fan of Miss Rose's work. Her books are sexy and pushing a boundary. It has beena a while since I read her book. So when I get a copy of Misbehaved, I was excited. After many wrong choices of books, Misbehaved is a breath of fresh air.
This is a forbidden romance story between Pierce, the high school teacher and Remi, a bright student. Remi has been caught in limbo. In 2 worlds. She has this twisted relationship with her step brother, Ryan. Ryan is a drug dealer who supply drugs to Pierce's sister. Causing her death. Pierce vows to take revenge on Ryan. When Remi and Pierce world collided, their chemistry is explosive. Their romance is sexy AF. It really flaming hot.
Misbehaved has all I craved in forbidden romance. The sexy seduction, the age gap, the complexity of the plot, especially with Ryan.
4 stars

Misbehaved is a full length standalone novel that is told from a dual perspective — Remington Stringer and Pierce James. It is a forbidden romance as it is about a secret relationship between a student & teacher. I feel that the tropes were presented in the story, yet, ideally they were not executed well.
➟ To my Goodreads friends: This was my third read with the student & teacher forbidden romance trope. I still have not had much luck with finding a good or even okay read with this romance trope. 📝 SUGGESTIONS ARE WELCOMED! 📝Thank you so much ❤️.
Anywho ~

Remington (h) is starting her senior year at a new school. She wants to get in and hopefully use this opportunity to get out of her area. Unfortunately, she is already starting off on a bad note for the following reasons: (1) Ryan's (OM) erratic behavior becomes noticeable to not only Remi but others around her; (2) she cannot afford what is needed for school; & (3) she mouths off the first day to the zero bullshit debate teacher - Mr. James (H). Although Remi has a lot going, she's like a moth to a flame and is drawn to Mr. Pierce James. After a lot of push and pull, they eventually explore this attraction. A side plot happening simultaneously is Pierce wanting revenge on Ryan because Pierce firmly believes Ryan was the cause of Gwen's OD.

Did anyone else picture Ry as a cross between Thor and Ryan Gosling in The Place Beyond the Pines !? If not, I am telling you to look them both up and just picture that love child. It would be him. Anyways, Ryan made a lot of bad decision but in a weird way I rooted more for him than anyone. He really piqued my interest and I felt it would of been a whole lot better romance with that forbidden step-sibling romance than the student/teacher romance. Lastly, Ryan lost his way but he was trying to be better. I was so pissed with his ending. LIKE. HOW. DARE. YOU. CHARLEIGH ROSE. I am not okay with how things turned out for him.
OVERALL: Remi and Pierce were not memorable and had no striking backstory or interesting character development happening in the story. Lastly, both characters remained rather superficial and focused their inner thoughts on the attraction they had for each other than anything else about their life.

Misbehaved is a full length standalone novel that is told from a dual perspective — Remington Stringer and Pierce James. It is a forbidden romance as it is about a secret relationship between a student & teacher. I feel that the tropes were presented in the story, yet, ideally they were not executed well.
➟ To my Goodreads friends: This was my third read with the student & teacher forbidden romance trope. I still have not had much luck with finding a good or even okay read with this romance trope. 📝 SUGGESTIONS ARE WELCOMED! 📝Thank you so much ❤️.
Anywho ~

This novel contains:
— Age gap 〖~10 year difference // Remington: 17-18 & Pierce: 29〗
— Forbidden/taboo romance 〖student-teacher relationship〗
— OM Drama 〖complicated relationship with ‘step-brother’〗
𝕊𝕋𝕆ℝ𝕐 ℙ𝕃𝕆𝕋
Remington (h) is starting her senior year at a new school. She wants to get in and hopefully use this opportunity to get out of her area. Unfortunately, she is already starting off on a bad note for the following reasons: (1) Ryan's (OM) erratic behavior becomes noticeable to not only Remi but others around her; (2) she cannot afford what is needed for school; & (3) she mouths off the first day to the zero bullshit debate teacher - Mr. James (H). Although Remi has a lot going, she's like a moth to a flame and is drawn to Mr. Pierce James. After a lot of push and pull, they eventually explore this attraction. A side plot happening simultaneously is Pierce wanting revenge on Ryan because Pierce firmly believes Ryan was the cause of Gwen's OD.
𝕄𝔸𝕀ℕ ℂℍ𝔸ℝ𝔸ℂ𝕋𝔼ℝ𝕊
🌀 Remington Stringer 🌀
⇾ Nicknames: Remi, Rem, hurricane
⇾ heroine (h), high school senior at West Point, has a complicated family dynamic, lonely, and loyal
✲ Character development that greatly lacked ✲
» 👨Remi's relationship with her father 👨«
↳ Remi's dad is barely present in her life because he is constantly on the road for work. He is mentioned here and there for ~60% of the book. One of the turning points for Remi's characters was when her dad showed up to talk to Remi about her behavior. Their fight showed promise of more to come but then... you only got 2 brief interactions between them. Those interactions were focused solely on Ryan instead of their problems. Lastly, the improving upon their relationship became a telling > showing at the end of the book. It was told from Pierce's inner monologue in 1x sentence that Remi was working on the relationship with her father. Ultimately, this character development fell flat.
⚖️ Pierce James aka Mr. James ⚖️
⇾ hero (H), 29-year-old debate teacher, former lawyer, moody, nurturing, possessive alphahole, conflicted, and secretive
⇾ Wants to seek revenge against Ryan for the role that he played in his sister's death
✲ Character development that greatly lacked ✲
» 🌞 Pierce's relationship with his family 🌞 «
↳ Since Gwen's death, his relationship with his parents has been very strained. His backstory about his parents was one I forgot about until it was re-introduced at the end of the book. Even though it was brought up again, it felt like it was added to manufacture a conversation topic between Remi and Pierce than to actually develop more on Pierce's backstory.
💔 Ryan Anderson (OM) 💔
⇾ Floundering through life, Rem's older step brother, felt him and Rem were endgame, involved in a lot of bad stuff like drugs and running guns
Did anyone else picture Ry as a cross between Thor and Ryan Gosling in The Place Beyond the Pines !? If not, I am telling you to look them both up and just picture that love child. It would be him. Anyways, Ryan made a lot of bad decision but in a weird way I rooted more for him than anyone. He really piqued my interest and I felt it would of been a whole lot better romance with that forbidden step-sibling romance than the student/teacher romance. Lastly, Ryan lost his way but he was trying to be better. I was so pissed with his ending. LIKE. HOW. DARE. YOU. CHARLEIGH ROSE. I am not okay with how things turned out for him.
OVERALL: Remi and Pierce were not memorable and had no striking backstory or interesting character development happening in the story. Lastly, both characters remained rather superficial and focused their inner thoughts on the attraction they had for each other than anything else about their life.
𝒯𝐻𝐸 𝑅𝒪𝑀𝒜𝒩𝒞𝐸
↬ Development: eh, could of been better // Liked - I didn't mind the instalust in the beginning and I had high hopes of it developing into more because of the push & pull mixed with the forced proximity. Disliked - Their relationship remained in this 'instalust-but-we-barely-touch phase' for 2/3 of the book, then the remaining 1/3 was a brief separation between the MC, rushed I love yous at the end, a happy for now ending
↬ ❤️🔥 Steam Factor: ❤️🔥 HIGH ↑ // the sex scenes were sooooo cringy though. Once they actually became intimate, there was a lot of sex scenes but the dialogue between MC & the depiction of them together felt like I was reading scenes from a romance story on Wattpad.

ARC provided by author in exchange for an honest review
Misbehaved is a sexy, slow burn student teacher romance with a twist! Charleigh Rose has cemented herself as an author who can make taboo romance sexy, intriguing, and hot. Yes, I am one of those readers who enjoys a good taboo romance and Charleigh Rose didn’t need to do much to twist my arms into reading her newest release. First off, student teacher romance. Sold!! And to top it off that its older man and younger woman.Yes, please! In other words, do not disturb me while reading.
Remington Stringer is the girl who grew up on the wrong sides of the tracks. While she could be stuck in that environment, Remington has big dreams for herself and so when she gets accepted to a private high school, this was Remi’s shot to get into a good college.
Remi’s home life is not what you considered normal. She has an absentee father who is always on the road working and a step-brother who takes his obsession and love for her in a whole new level of possession. And so when Remi meets her teacher, Mr. James Pierce who intrigues her emotionally and sexually, lines will get blurred.
As James slowly inserts himself in Remi’s life, he soon discovers that Remi is not the average teenage high school girl. She is mature for her age and her life has taught her to be more independent. Furthermore, James also has his own motives for wanting to protect Remi especially when it comes to her step-brother. When secrets and truths are revealed, how far will James go to ensure the safety of Remi and prevent history from repeating itself?
What really drew me into Misbehaved was that the author didn’t make an insta-smut romance but allowed readers to see the developing chemistry and attraction that was brewing between Remi and James. Though their relationship was filled with a few sexual tensions and banter, their connection was undeniable and real. So if you are looking for a fun sexy forbidden romance with a twist, then this book might be right up your alley. My only complaint was that there were some scenes that dragged on and a little too slow burn for my taste but overall a great read. Oh and I also wished for a different kind of epilogue!

***FIVE STARS***
Yay! I finally ended my streak of crapola stories and found an awesome one. I fell totally in love with this story. I am a sucker for student/teacher love affairs. The only problem is most of them are pretty much just smut and fluff, and generally just meh. or they suck all together. That’s not the case with Misbehaved. This story had characters with some real depth to them and an actual interesting background story.
I loved Remington, because she was a strong, down to earth, realistic thinking young woman. Pretty much from the wrong side of the tracks, trying to better herself, never taking anybody’s shit along the way. Pierce was perfection for me. He had a sharp wit about him, and he cut the students to the bone with it. I have a thing for asshole heroes and he started out being kind of a bastard. I LOVED everything about him.
There was definitely some smoking hot chemistry between these two, and the intimacy was a very slow build up. I thought I’d completely combust by the time they finally did the deed. The sex scenes were scorching hot, making me lose my breath in some of them.
I loved all the emotions this story pulled out of me, and I loved the drama between Remington and Pierce at the end too. It was all just....

Best believe this book has it all and more
I was so excited when I got a fb notification indicating that I was a lucky winner of this advance copy. I fell in love with the book the moment the word student and teacher jumped out at me. I never win anything, especially on fb so even with the negative thoughts, I decided to give it a go. My excitement was tangible! And as soon as the book reached my kindle, I read the first page - grinned like a motherfucking whore about to get her fix, before calming putting down the book to compose myself.
Yeah, it got me.
I knew without a doubt I was going to love this book and the equilibrium of my reading life would align once more.
Remington Stringer, on the edge of seventeen has just started her senior year at a prestigious private high school. From the wrong side of the tracks, she instantly knew she wasn't going to fit in. However, that didn't matter - that school was a ticket to get her into a good college so she can finally leave the hell she's called home. With her father always on the road and a stepbrother that seems to be morphing into someone she can't recognized, she evidently has enough on her plate as it is.
But life doesn't care to ask you whether or not you're willing to take anymore. It simply thrust it upon you or just take from you. That was the case when she came face to face with Debating teacher, Mr. Pierce James.
During their first encounter, you could literally feel the sparks flying off the pages. I must admit that I was leaning more for Remi and Ryan(her stepbrother) at the beginning, but then Mr. James came in and that ship sailed instantly! There was just this plain asshole-y way about Mr. James that had your eyes twitching but at the same time, the way he spoke and carried himself had you silently begging for the dirtiest sexual commands known to history. It was so obvious how much they were pulled together but the tension of denying what was deemed wrong made it all that much more decadent.
At first, Pierce seemed like the regular hot, strict teacher with the stick up his ass. But his past soon revealed just how human he was. The demons that consumed and controlled him had his focus stuck clearly on revenge. As that revenge float closer to him, he was satisfied with the knowledge that Remi was a link he didn't mind using.
But nothing prepared him for the girl beneath her harshness and quick sass.
I found Remi to be a lovable character. Despite her age, she was so far beyond that of a teenager. Loving the men in her life that didn't deserve her, trying to keep a broken home glued together was all she ever did. You clearly got to see how much she loved her absentee dad and her lost stepbrother through all the shit they put her through, especially Ryan. Sometime you question how someone can do that to the one they love or how can someone continue to love someone despite it all.
But being granted the opportunity to see their past and how they grew up shed some light on it all. Ryan has always been their for Remi - took care of her when he dad wasn't around. He loved her, but as he got older and he got deeper into his shit, his love turned toxic to the point it sometimes scared Remi - but never enough for her to lose trust within him. She was always so sure of what would and wouldn't happen.
What really made me love her was the fact that even though you can tell she's more mature than most girls her age, she still revert back into a teenager with doubts and insecurities. Alot of which revealed themselves when it came to Mr. James. She never denied her attraction to him, and I love how she'd often fuck with him just to get a rise out of him, not knowing that she's inadvertently affecting herself.
These two danced around the heart of forbidden. They'd already entered it, their encounters were hot and left you wanting more. Then the frustration builds because you're left wondering how the fuck can one has so much self control! There would be times I'd be so deep into the moment, a part of me would be rejoicing, Finally, only for Pierce to stop them or say that's as far as they'd go. Sigh.
But then when it all came to the big... combust... Who am I kidding?
Fucking. Worth. It.
During their bubble of getting to know each other and falling at the same time, everything around them seemed to be suffocating them. With their own secrets and hung-over, the angst was sure to spill over. I love how immature-ish Remi was when she got hurt, not wanting to give Pierce a chance - it reminded me that she was still a teenager, to his 29years old. While at the same time, his demanding, fierce attitude made me shiver with want and remember that it's a fucking man we're dealing with.
Their opposites fit perfectly like a puzzle and although I shed a tear for the loss, I kind of wish there was some sort of redemption there. I cried for the loss and the pain it brought because I was really looking for some form of salvation there. But in life, shit happens and the living can do nothing but...live.

“They are basically grinding in the parking lot, and somewhere in my head, I know I should put a stop to it. But they’re like a car accident that I can’t look away from. If I wasn’t sure before, it’s clear now. She’s no West Point princess.
He grabs her ass, looks over her shoulder, and spots the blond kid she walked out of school with. Christian Chambers. I taught him his last period. Obviously gay, but there’s no way for the simpleton on the bike to know that from looks alone. ”
Okay, first of all, what 28/29 year olds think that way? I mean, granted, there will always be dumbasses and immature people no matter how high on the age range you go. But honestly, with this book being a teacher/student romance, you kinda go in with the expectation that the teacher is going to be a tad bit more mature no? Since he would have to make up for the bratty ass teenage student's attitude.
But nah.
Why would you be a mature ass character when you can just hitch the immature bandwagon as well? Right?
And it could be because I have been in a shitty ass book slump lately, but everything in this book is just eye rolling worthy:
“But right now,” he rasps, lifting his hips and unbuckling his belt. “All you need to do is let me love you. Can you do that for me, Remi girl?”
“God, yes,” I whisper.
“Good girl.”
“I grind against him, hard but unhurried as our sweat mixes between us. Pierce’s mouth comes down on mine, and his tongue sweeps past my lips. Oh, how I’ve missed the taste of him. Our tongues and bodies move in perfect harmony. We were made for this.”
“This isn’t just fucking.
This is passion.
This is love.
This is healing.”
And let me close this review with this brilliant quote that I found after 5 minutes of skimming through this book:
“To say I’m not particularly fond of him would be the understatement of the century. He has treated Remi in a way I wouldn’t even treat our future pet, let alone child. But for her, I play nice.
For her, I play games I never thought I would.
For her, I’m a changed man.”

I was super excited about this book. Age gap and teacher/student romances are some of my favorite. There was so much here to like.
The tension between the two was perfect and even up until after they hooked up, I was totally into it. The relationship between Remington and Pierce was great but unfortunately other relationships in this story managed to take away from everything.
The whole thing with her stepbrother... There were flashbacks to give us some insight into why she put up with the awful way he treated her but it wasn't enough for me to truly connect, so her devotion, given the circumstances, pissed me off. We finally get a flashback that we really see who he was before the drugs but by then it's too late.
And then there was the secondary character who's fucked up relationship is what I will remember this book for and that's NOT OKAY.
I'm glad I read it for the first 75%, I could take or leave the rest.

I was pretty excited about this bc this cover? the student-teacher dynamic? I was expecting it to be 🔥🔥🔥 But unfortunately, Pierce just didn't do it for me. He didn't know what he wanted and had a pretty boring personality, a combination that frankly puts me to sleep.
Ryan tho?
Leather boots.
Tattoos galore.
The scent of possessiveness, poverty, and despair in the air.
Yeah I liked Ryan. When he wasn't being gross and abusive (which admittedly wasn't often, I'm really grasping at straws here if you can't tell), I was Team Stepbrother over Team Teacher for sure. That says not good things about me but whatever.

Unfortunately, disabused of that theory by the boys in this book. And honestly, the MFC wasn’t any better.
But really nice cover 👍🏾
