Defy is a smutty, insta-love, insta-lust short novella. It is a prequel to Vicious (Sinners of Saint #1) and can be read as a complete standalone with a HEA.Now an international bestseller. My name is Melody Greene, and I have a confession to make.I slept with my student, a senior in high school.Multiple times.I had multiple orgasms.In multiple positions.I slept with my student and I enjoyed it.I … slept with my student and I enjoyed it.
I slept with my student and I’d do it all over again if I could turn back time.
My name is Melody Greene, and I got kicked out of my position as a teacher and did my walk of shame a la Cersei Lannister from the principal’s office, minutes after said principal threatened to call the cops on me.
My name is Melody Greene, and I did something bad because it made me feel good.
Here is why it was totally worth it.

Now, I need Jaime in my life !
OMG, I love this so much !!!
I fell in love with “Defy” from page one. It gave me everything I want from one love story.
Mel and Jaime are example for true love.
“Because that was the problem with society. It cared too much about who you fell in love with but never about why. The why matters.”
Because… True love never asks why.
Can’t wait to read “Vicious”!
Defy is a super hot, taboo story. Jamie and Melody’s story is short but serves as a prequel to the other stories in this series and introduces us to the HotHoles. I enjoyed listening to this one on audiobook.
-4 Stars!-
Jaime and Melody were EVERYTHING! I absolutely loved this book! Student teacher is one of my favorite tropes and this one knocked it out of the park. I will definitely recommend this book to everyone!
I absolutely loved this book!! I recently discovered this author and after reading Vicious, I was so excited to read Jamie’s story. It was all I expected and more.
Melody is the English lit teacher on Jamie’s school and after an incident takes place, their teacher – student relationship’s taken a step higher. Even though Melody tries to distance herself, it doesn’t take long before she can’t hide her feelings anymore and they both take a risk that could cost them all. Will their love survice all the bumps ahead ?…
I’m looking forward to reading more of this series!
Oh sweet Jesus how I loved Jaime. Such a dirty talker! I think he just might be my favorite HotHole! This hot, sexy little read ticked all my boxes. A forbidden teacher/student romance? Yes please. But there was also heart and love (and a whole lot of steam). Gahhh, I’ve read all the books in this series and I am greedy for more from this world.
Although this appears after Vicious, it can be read before Vicious without ruining either story.
Well edited.
Jamie is one of the Four HotHoles – four friends that ruler the halls of All Saints High School. He has the hots for teacher. The Lit teacher, Melody Greene, to be exact. He pursues, she eventually gives in. Fortunately(?), he is over 18. The last few months of his senior year feature a hot and heavy affair with his teacher. Just before the end of the school year, lots and lots of secrets come pouring out. Who will be burned by the truth? And, if the affair that had a time limit turns into more – whose heart will be on the line?
Lots of this story are referenced in Vicious, so it is really a toss up on which one you want to read first. Lots of rule and law breaking going on here – by lots and lots of people. Enjoy.
I only wish this book was longer. I would have also liked to have gotten to read from Jaime’s pov. But other than that I really enjoyed this student/teacher romance. It was sexy and forbidden and I never wanted it to end. Even though this book was from Melody’s pov, I felt it was all about Jaime. I liked seeing how was with Melody and how much he wanted her. Let’s be real when I say Melody had no real apprehension to starting anything with Jaime, it took almost no effort for him to talk her into their relationship. I have to say that I loved every minute of it.
The only thing wrong with story is that it was lent long enough. The people want want Jamie. Okay, I want more Jamie. But I’m pretty sure others do too!
Jaime and Melody relationship were off the chart.. forbidden.. sexy.. naughty seductive..
He chased her until she gave in to the temptation… burn fire burn…
My only complaint about this book is that it’s a novella and not a full book. I want more Jamie and Melody!!
Who doesn’t love a good student/teacher romance…
I mean when it’s a hot 26 year old Melody and a gorgeous 18 year old Jamie… it’s bound to be hot, hot, hot.
Two beautifully flawed characters finding a home with each other. Jaime’s the most likable for me of all the hot holes and I liked the way the reader sees more layers of what happened in high school developing through each of the stories.
This book was everything! I need me some Jamie! Love love the teacher/student romance. #hotholes
I highly recommend this whole series of standalone books. You should read them in order in my opinion.
After I finished reading Vicious, I needed more not wanted but needed. Leigh has become a must-read author for me.
When I read there are more stories about the Hotholes (hot assholes) I was like an addict needing her fix. When Defy hit my Kindle I didn’t want to dive in straight away because if I started, it would eventually end and I didn’t want that. But I man up and started the book.
This is about Jaime and his teacher Melody. As this is a re-release and if you have read Vicious you will already know they are a couple but it was interesting to see how they hooked up.
I loved this just as much as Vicious, it may be a novella but it wasn’t missing anything. I usually frown when reading about assholes especially rich and privileged assholes but Jaime a charming mofo, Melody didn’t stand a chance.
I haven’t felt this excited about an author or series in awhile a lot of books start to sound the same and my pet hate is when a book bores me to tears. No issues here whatsoever.
I look forward to more Hotholes story, well I look forward to more stories from Leigh. I absolutely loved it.
InLove with the forbidden love and screw all the judgmental A#@holes perfect start to one of my All time Favorite series to Date
This wasn’t a bad story, my favorite was parts were probably the last 3 chapters but I did enjoy it.
Holy shit this book was WOW!!! I was seduced by this read I hung on to every word page after page because I couldn’t put it down. Now on to Vicious and I have a feeling that book will do a number on me!
I loved Vicious and this book runs alongside but tells Jamie’s story of his affair with his English Lit teacher.
LJ is a new author to me, but I have fallen in love with her writing style and she has created four badass characters. We also get a further insight into the Four HotHoles and learn about the game of Defy. Absolutely brilliant. We didn’t hear much from Jamie in Vicious so it was great to hear his story and I absolutely fell in love with him. He is so dreamy.
A great series and a must read. I am now ready for Ruckus… Bring it on!
HotHoles 4evr
It took me way too long to start this series! The characters are strong, the pace is good and the romance hot! I’m already hooked on these guys, this world and this author!
Jamie is mine!
That’s it!
The boy is mine!
Although only a novella, Jamie has my heart right from the start!
Couldn’t say no more but Jamie is mine!
What a sexy, dirty, and forbidden novella. A prequel to Vicious, and I can already tell that will be a dark story. Jaime is a cocky, alpha, spoiled high school football player and Melody is an ex ballet dancer turned teacher at this privileged school. This read will hook you in and not let go until the end.
