They say a leopard can’t change its spots, but I beg to differ. I’m not the girl I used to be, and now is my chance to prove it. I’m back at the high school where I burned a lot of bridges and hurt a lot of people. Only this time, I’m not a student…I’m a teacher. I want to repair the damage I caused and move on…hopefully with Bennett Sawyer.I’m stunned when I find out Bennett just so happens to … just so happens to be one of my new students—and the principal’s son. I didn’t know it when we began dating, and now we’ve got to put an end to our relationship, or risk losing everything.
But the attraction between us is unstoppable, and when jealousy gets in the way, all I want to do is mark my territory, but I can’t.
With a smile like his, and a body to die for, can I stay away from him and pretend he means nothing…until he graduates in ten weeks?

This one is based on Christina and Bennet, I loved Bennet I fell in love with him in Audrey’s book so I was really excited to see him in his own book. He’s cheeky and smart and I love him so much. I loved how protective he is. Christina was a bit hard to get to grips with in this book although I understood why she did what she did in school and that we all can be teenagers and stupid. Just something about her I couldn’t connect with her properly I mean she was a good character but I don’t really know cannot explain it.
I loved Bennet and Audrey’s friendship, I loved everything about how they were together. I loved that Bennet was so protective of her and that he was willing to do anything for Audrey. It was adorable. I think these parts with Bennet and Audrey were some of my favourites in the book.
I loved seeing all the other characters from the other books and the big family reveal also Bailey and Ryder’s baby little Sage. So cute.
So I think my issue with this whole Bennet and Christina thing is that you don’t get to see much of their relationship it’s about the chase and then them not being together. I really struggled and I felt like the love part was a little forced. Like unlike with the other characters I can’t see Bennet and Christina being together forever like the others. It just felt like sex between them rather than love. So it just felt very forced to me for them. Either way, I enjoyed their story.
I was glad that Christina got some kind of redemption in this book because although she deserved that, we all do silly things in school so I was glad she got some kind of redemption. I think another thing is that she was still acting like she was in high school with her jealousy and although she managed to see her wrongness of that. She felt very immature. But I was glad she got redemption.
I did not feel like this one was as good as the others but I still loved reading about Bennet!

Until next time… Happy Reading!
A good small town romance continuation in the series, but can be read as a standalone. The story is a slow burn, hot, student, and teacher love affair. Christina started seeing Bennett after meeting on a bar. As they were seeing each she was shocked to find he was a senior at her new job, and the principal, her boss’s son. It is well written and showed their super hot chemistry with a lot of jealousy, conflicted emotions including ups and downs and their insecurities. It had me turning the pages to find how this teacher student relationship would pan out.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review…I am going to add another book review with this one..So I started to read this book, I started the series from Indie’s love life and I was enjoying the series it wasn’t fabulous but wasn’t as bad as this one. So again I am enjoying the series and then we had Harper’s book and I was starting to get annoyed but continued had Kenzie, am still good and then we get Audrey’s book with Brody and I was grossed out.. She was seventeen and he was 25 gross they kept justifying it by saying she would be 18 soon, dude get a woman not a child. Then we get this one..Christina was horrible they all hated her and with good reason, so here is this author trying to get her accepted by us and the crew yet Christina’s inner thought were not good she was still justifying and going after guys that were taken, not cool so she claims she wouldn’t do it with Chace who was a jerk and Bailey’s boyfriend when they were in uni and she (Christina was Bailey’s supposed best friend at the time) and she cheated with him then made Bailey’s life hell for years, so she didn’t regret that they cheated and she took him it was how Chace treated her after yet in her thoughts she said she would cheat with Bennet..This woman was horrible and should be teaching children he was a student and she was 25..again nasty.
She had burnt so many bridges and caused so many problem but she is back to make amends. She is the new teacher and she wants the one she loves back. She is in for a shock as he is a student and the principal son. How are they going to cope? They want each other so much. They have to be careful as it is classed as wrong

Gives Van Halen’s Hot For The Teacher a new meaning!
What starts out as a hot holiday fling becomes a potentially serious situation, when real life hits and laws have unwittingly been breached.
Christina Brown had moved away from her town and her friends under a cloud of scandal, outlined in Bailey and Ryder’s book, the first in this Scandalous series, leaving behind a less than stellar reputation. She didn’t care. She manipulated people as easily as she’d manipulated the truth, as long as she could get the attention and the boyfriend she wanted. Until it all fell down. She’d been duped as much as she herself had done the deceiving, and karma took care of the rest.
Now, she’s learned her lesson, and not only made herself into a better person, but she’s back in town. And she’s back at her old high school; as a teacher, keen to remain under the radar and away from her scandal of old. Trouble is, her reputation has preceded her, nobody likes her, everyone is suspicious of her motives, and she’s been warned to stay away from those she used to know.
That low flying radar is going to be ever elusive for our scandalous teacher because on her first day, she sees her hot young man, and he’s also at her school, and in her class; as a student! She’s about to find herself drowning in the worse scandal of her life. One that could cost her career, and ruin his life – unless they can keep their hands to themselves for the remainder of the year until he graduates.
He’s also the only person who is keen to give her another chance, if she keeps her jealousy of his close friendship with another female student under control. Bennett is the very mature looking young man, who had told Christina that he worked in the surf shop, and she had no idea he was so young. I also loved that he was such a loyal and beautiful friend to Audrey, who depends on him in ways that are unimaginable to those who haven’t suffered the tragedy that she had.
I have to say that it took me a long time to warm to Christina. She seemed to retain most of her aloof and selfish traits and the judgement of her seemed to be spot on. Change is hard, and I couldn’t even imagine how difficult it would be to try to overcome the history of her past actions and ameliorate the suspicion the others had of her.
By the way, this is the first book from R. Linda that I’ve read, and I’m not normally into the YA or NA genre, but I enjoyed it so much I went back to get Bailey and Ryder’s book as well as a couple of others. A very addicting 4.5 stars.
The good storyline and the great characters made this book a very enjoyable read! I was so engrossed in this story that I ended up reading this book in one sitting!
This is the sixth book in this amazing series. Christina is now back at her old high school as a teacher, and she is hoping to redeem herself. Bennett is somebody she hooked up with, and the attraction between them is intense, but he is also a student. Will they be able to keep their relationship a secret? No spoilers; this is a definite must read, you will not be disappointed if you love the forbidden student / teacher genre! This is a well written unique story, which has me intrigued and hooked throughout, and I cannot wait to read more from this talented author, whose work I highly recommend for all!
I first want to say that I did not read the previous books in this series and I wish I had. The back characters played such a big role and there were some things I didn’t get until I was half way through the book. But with that said I have to say that I loved this story. It had everything in it to the point where I was on the edge of my seat not sure where the story was going and lord I wanted to slap one character in here. She was such a wench and so hell bent on being a jerk and ruining things I just wanted to slap her.
Bennett and Audrey have this great relationship that builds each day. Then it is time for school and Audrey is determined to right her wrongs that she has when she sees her new student the principal’s son Bennett. Yes Lord Jesus I said Bennett. When he walks into Audrey’s room they both look at each other and know that things have gone from great to bad. They realize they are going to have to make a decision, walk away from each other or fight to make it work. This is a MUST READ student/teacher read.
4.5/5 stars!
This book could have been called Bennett and the Rebel Affair. Because let’s be honest, he stole the show! The complete book boyfriend package!
High school is hard. Especially when you’re the new kid and the Principal’s son. It’s also hard when you’re the victim of a tragic fire and trying to pick up the pieces of your life. This story continued the friendship between Bennett and Audrey which so captivating and pure. The love they feel for each other knows no bounds. But then Christina, the town hussy that helped leave Bailey heartbroken all those years ago enters Bennett’s life. She threatens the bond between to “bros”.
The ups and downs of this read had me unable to put the book down! I was on the edge of my seat waiting for the two main characters to slip up and jeopardize their futures even more than they already had. I was also anticipating Audrey hauling off and fighting Christina. Neither happened (thankfully).
This was a story filled with lust, forbidden romance and unbreakable friendship. I loved the turn around that Christina made as the story progressed and the honesty that finally came out between Bennett and Audrey. A true happily ever after!
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout for an honest review.
When it turns out your hook up during school break is your new substitute teacher…it’s about to get complicated.
Bennett’s just trying to finish out his senior year, get away from his jerk of a father and look out for Audrey. It’s just too bad when your bff falls in love with someone else. Audrey and Bennett share a special bond, but it’s not the same as falling in love.
Christina has a bit of a bad reputation. You’ll remember her as Bailey’s backstabbing bff who stole her boyfriend in high school. Christina left for awhile and learned the hard way that the boy she stole was nothing more than a liar and a manipulator. Now she’s back and she wants to start over.
Being worthy of the person you love, is a great motivator to change your life. Christina wants to be good enough for Bennett. Her road to redemption will not be easy, but it will be worth it.
I love this group of characters and always look forward to revisiting them with each new story. They aren’t just friends, they’ve become a family.
Get ready for this slow burn, student/teacher love affair. Things are about to get HOT and a little bit scandalous!
I will admit teacher/student genre is not my thing at all i haven’t read many only one or two but when R Linda writes one i have to give it a chance and i am so glad i did.
This was not your usual one and i am so glad for it the way R Linda writes is clean and such amazing writing that still has the angst that a hot racey novel would have and I loved how innocent this was.
I loved Bennett they way he was with Audrey and protected her showed what sort of character he was even though he he had made some really difficult mistakes in his life and especially with the Bully that all the previous characters really did not like. You always knew he saw something in Christina that everyone else did not and I loved that.
Christina I was never a fan off and halfway through this book I still wasn’t but in true R.Linda style and with her writing I knew I would like her by the end and I did she seemed genuine and she never apologised for what she wanted and went for it and really tried to make amens
I loved this book the push and pull between the main characters had me wondering how the story would unfold.
Again I loved how we still got to the previous characters and saw how their lives were going and what could be happening in the future for all these characters.
To top it all off the ending of this book just had me WTF as I really don’t know where this series will be going and I am more than excited.
Another amazing story and perfect book for this series love love loved it amazing 5 stars.
Leopard can’t change its spots – isn’t it true?
This book was very interesting. Haven’t read storyline built like this one yet. Even if the book is about Bennett and Christina we are meeting the whole pack of friends from previous parts of the series along with the story of main characters. We are witnessing how their lives are progressing. Especially there is a lot of Audrey as she and Bennett are very close friends and their relationship is special. We got a lot of jealousy, a lot of conflicted emotions. We are witnessing beautiful friendship, love, support, lust and hate. Christina at the end is not only fighting with her desires but also with her past deeds. For Bennett she wants to come clean with her ex best friend and slowly rebuild trust and relationships she destroyed years ago. And the ending…? Just can’t patiently wait to see what the next story in series will bring.
