Andre Demarco.
Franklin High’s newest Biology teacher. Good news; he’s beautiful to look at. Bad news; he’s my new co-teacher. Try talking about the birds and the bees to a class full of fifteen year olds without picturing your co-teacher giving you that chat with a little less clothing and a lot more demonstration. Really bad news; he’s the “Andrea” that has answered my seeking roommate ad. … roommate ad. Avoiding him in school was impossible, but avoiding him when he walks down the hall to his room in only a towel? Not happening. Really, really bad news; he was my one night stand last month. Not thinking about his anatomy after having it in mine–Hopeless.

Dakota Saddler.
Also known as Dax. Apparently, that’s a woman’s name because when I walk into the apartment I’m renting a room in, she’s there–in her bra and panties–causing a familiar tug at my southern region. Icing on the cake; I get to teach alongside her all day long at work. Piss on my Cheerios; there’s a no fraternization policy at Franklin High. When the woman says the word “penis” in front of our class, I’m done for. When the fog clears, I realize I’ve heard that word drip from her lips before; begging for mine from underneath me last month. Shit. I need a lesson on following the rules, but I can tell from the moment I laid eyes on her, in spite of her good girl facade, Dakota Saddler was always meant to break them with me.
This is the fifth book in the Saddler Series. It is a standalone but for better reading experience should be read in order

OMG! Just when I think I’ve read my favorite Nicole Rodrigues novel, I realize I haven’t…
This one is my favorite of the series because well, one word– Andre.
He’s a professional by day in his glasses, but once he pulls those babies off, he turns into a bad boy. A bad boy who knows how to talk dirty. And sweet, whatever the occasion calls for.
This is a forbidden romance/enemies to lovers and everyone knows those are my fave. Add in sweet little Dakota Saddler and you’ve got one heck of a chemistry here. Who knew that opposite would attract so perfectly?
Two teachers, thrust together by fate, time after time…cohabitation, teaching and soccer… There’s bound to be sparks flying, right?
This book was hilarious, sexy, steamy, fun, sweet and endearing. I loved the dynamics of both these characters, how they responded to one another, how they learned from each other and adapted to one another. The connection was off the charts–seamless–so much so that this is one of my favorite couples of both Nicole’s series.
If you love a book that leaves you laughing and swoony then don’t miss the finale to the Saddler series. It’s a bittersweet goodbye but sooo worth the wild ride!
This story was so original and refreshing! Dakota can crack the whip in the classroom and Andre cracks it in the bedroom. Andre is like the Clark-Kent-Super-sex-god-alpha hero (that’s part of the romance world nomenclature, right?)– all nerdy, sweet, gentleman with his glasses on and with his glasses off you’re suddenly his sex slave wearing only black heels. The man is magic.
Dakota is a woman I can relate to! She puts her career first and takes her job as a teacher very seriously, but there’s a pent-up sex kitten that’s waiting for the right man to unleash her.
It’s one of the best examples of dirty talk I have EVER read. And the ending had me laughing and swooning and OMGing all at the same time. Definite must-read!
Gah I hate endings to series!
But mannnn was this an ENDING! You know I never thought Nicole could top Damon and Nico, from the Double Play series, on the hot, sexy, dirty talker but oh my lanta did she with Andre!
I was so excited to finally get Dakota’s story. She has been my little mystery sister throughout the whole series. Only getting little bits and pieces of her. So to get inside her head, I just loved it and her! Loved how driven she is with her career. But to see her after she meets Andre, that was a side of her that I was not expecting but I enjoyed reading it.
Andre is your typical tattoo’d bad boy. He also had his fair share of surprises too. When he meets Dakota, something about her makes him want to stick around. Then to come to find out they are going to be working along side one another, man does he have fun with that. But I think what I loved the most about him is the person he ended up turning into with Dakota in his life. The banter between the two of them has got to be some of my favorite things with this book!
I am so sad to see the end to the Saddler clan, but with these two ending it out, I am happy with that.
But we all know how Nicole is, she might have a few surprises up her sleeve.
5⃣
recommendation!!
This is the first book I’ve read by this author. I must say I was drawn immediately to Andre Demarco and Dakota Saddler’s story.
Their story falls into the two categories Enemies to Lovers and Forbidden Romance… which I do love….so a threw caution to the wind and I loved it!
Andre a teacher his sexy glasses, but once he pulls them off, you have bad boy Demarco.
Dakota lives on plans and structure. She doesn’t take risks or makes rash decisions.
This book is funny, sweet, sexy, HOT AF, and shows great friendship and family values.
Two things you’ll need while reading this book:
A fan
Some new panties
Andre Demarco is coming in HOT! Saddler’s Scandal is hands down the steamiest book out of this series.
Dakota Saddler is kind of mystery. Throughout the story we have only gotten little glimpses of her compared to the rest of her siblings so I have been looking forward to her book and seeing more about who she is, besides the youngest Saddler. She is a teacher and definitely very innocent compared to her sisters. At 25 she has worked hard to get where she is in her career and doesn’t want to do anything that could put it in danger. Andre is a teacher, too. Though he is different from Dakota. He is a free spirt, goes wherever the wind takes him, doesn’t stay in one place for long. He is also far from innocent and has no problem with showing that.
The chemistry between Dakota and Andre is EXPLOSIVE. It is off the charts hot from the very first moment they met and I didn’t think it could get any hotter, but it does. I loved the forbidden aspect of their relationship and the fact that Andre would do everything in his power to push all of Dakota’s buttons.
I am sad this is the ending of the Saddler squad but they went out with a bang. Saddler’s Scandal and the rest of the books in this series are MUST READS!
The last Saddler is here, and I seriously think Nicole Rodrigues saved the best Saddler story for last. I didn’t think anybody could top Elijah Saddler for me, but then she gives us Andre and he swooped in and knocked Elijah out of the top spot.
Dakota Saddler is the youngest of the Saddler kids. She’s thrives on plans and structure. She doesn’t make rash decisions. Everything has a time and place for her. But then she meets Andre Demarco, and he throws her best laid plans right out the window.
Andre isn’t known for sticking around. He’s all about having a good time, and not staying in one place for too long. But there is something about Dakota that hits him funny. When the two become roommates, thanks to a little family meddling, he thrives on pushing Dakota out of her comfort zone. The two are complete opposites, but you know what they say, opposites attract. When push comes to shove can Dakota let herself be reckless, and will Andre actually stick around?
I just started reading Nicole Rodrigues books’ last year, and I swear she gets better with every single book she writes. From the start this book drew me in, and I couldn’t put it down. I needed to know what was going to happen with Andre and Dakota. She’s created this world with the Saddler family that you can’t help but feel apart of. When I read any book in this series, it’s almost like I’m surrounded by family. Each and every character has something about them that is so relatable, and Nicole writes in such a way that she evokes such emotion from the reader. Absolutely amazing story, and while I’m sad to see the Saddler family stories coming to an end, I don’t know that I could have asked for a better ending.
