Lennon Carter first saw my face with his hand around my throat.Shock widened his eyes, starbursts of anger for what I’d done. That moment should have been the last of us; our beginning and end. Fate, it seems, had other plans.A dedicated musician, Lennon would become my mentor, my shadow, my protector and nightmare.We were two discordant notes that somehow blended with perfect harmony.Challenged … with perfect harmony.
Challenged to become a pianist as talented as him, I became Lennon’s SIN, while he became my DISCIPLINE.
(A Forbidden Student/Teacher Romance)

Holy Cow!!! This one literally took my breath away!! The more i ponder and reflect on what i read, the more i realize the sensuality and music notes went hand in hand!! Sensual with a dominant edge! Just imagining the sounds of each key being played with just as much emotions the characters portrayed was so profound! Fantastic book that will definitely have you sliding in your seat! Phew!!
When you think of a teacher student romance there are certain things you expect to happen. This book not only exceed my expectations but they were blown away. I’m not normally someone to read a book about music but dang there’s something really special about this book. The author paints such an amazing picture with her words that I can imagine everything happening in my head. This book was so beautiful and wonderfully steamy. Highly recommend!
I have to say this story is so much more than the student/teacher romance you expect it to be. Both Amelia and Lennon have a deeply scarred back story that is surprisingly intertwined, which affects both Hero and Heroine in a big way. This gives their story a tragic undertone as all the pieces fall into place, however Lily’s writing was full of articulate prose and fluid pacing that held the book together and weaved the story piece by piece perfectly.
Lennon and Amelia’s chemistry is clear to see, as a young heroine Amelia has grown up fast and the age gap doesn’t really matter. The connection and mutual respect they have for the musical skill they hold is what cements their relationship in place. Lennon a dominant and Amelia his submissive but her sassy mouth keeps it interesting and Lennon on his toes. Their first sexual encounter just blew me away! It was one of the most sensual scenes I have read. Beyond that moment each experience was different, it flowed almost like the music referenced in the book. I listened to some of the pieces as I read certain scenes and it heightened everything for me, bravo Miss White Bravo!
What I loved was the connection, the music, the depth of storyline beyond the obvious. I loved Lily’s writing, her nuances, the chemistry and the realism I felt from her words. I can assure you this will not be the last book I read from Lily White. If you are drawn to this book for the Taboo element, you will get so much more than that. Sin and Discipline is a story of discovery, heartbreak, healing and surviving to be the best you can be.
When you combine two of my favorite things, a Lily White book and a student/teacher romance, you get a very excited reader. I have always had a weakness for student/teacher stories and this is a unique student/teacher romance as only Lily White could write. Lennon is the kind of romantic lead that you should not love, but you can’t help yourself. He’s dangerous and all consuming. This mixes beautiful music with the taboo and I could not put it down. Highly recommended!
Sin & Discipline is my first book I’ve read from Lily White and it won’t be my last. It was a fabulous erotic romance with the forbidden teacher/student as its topic and it was executed brilliantly. Lennon is a gifted musician. He especially knows how to work the piano. In the bedroom department he’s a dominant who likes it his way. Amelia is eighteen and has a gift as well. She excels playing the piano like no one else. They immediately share a mutual attraction and connection thanks to their love of music and their troubled past.
As rough as Lennon seems to appear thanks to his sexual needs he’s a man who has a passion for music and for satisfying his needs. Amelia meets those needs. She needs an escape from her life and Lennon is the perfect kind. She can breathe and let go of her troubles around him as can he cause he’s fighting his own.
Amelia starts off as a very inexperienced eighteen year old but Lennon slowly strips those layers off of her and shows/teaches her what pleasure can feel like. No matter how rough it gets there’s pleasure. Their chemistry is sizzling. They both learn and discover a lot about themselves while being in this sexual relationship and while Lennon is her teacher at school.
Under each chapter there’s a few sentences and they have relevance to the story. I was very intrigued how it all fitted together. It was a terrific thing to add and the revelation was surprise and heartbreak. Well done on that twist. The epilogue was spot on leaving me content and very excited to read from this new to me author thanks to this cracking story.
4 Say Please Stars
Lily is a new author for me but when I saw she wrote a Student Teacher Romance I knew I had to pick it up. I have read tons of books in this trope and this one is topping the charts as one of the best. Music is near and dear to my heart so putting that aspect on top of my favorite reads it was a guaranteed smash.
I loved the story, it had a unique plot which is hard to do with as many books in this category as I have read.
I wish I could read this all over again for the first time again! It was amazing!
4.5 stars
I am a huge Lily White fan and could not jump on Sin & Discipline fast enough. I love her dark stories but when I heard she was writing a taboo/age difference/submission story I dropped everything. Lennon and Amelia were super sexy. I loved their banter and the connection between them!
When Lennon Carter returns to his hometown to find the next piano playing virtuoso he never expected to cross paths with Amelia Dillon and feel the tangible heat between them. She is his student but the lull between them can not be denied. He craves her submission just as much as the beautiful notes she plays on the piano. But when secrets from the past come out and a painful link ties them together, Lennon and Amelia must traverse a painful road filled with secrets and lies.
I loved this story so so much. While this is a story about control and submission, it is not a BDSM story. Amelia had sass for days. Her strength and determination was a main reason Lennon became enthralled and obsessed with her. He wanted full control in the bedroom, but was fantastic in supporting her and protecting her. I loved that she, as his student, was able to show him, her teacher, what was in front of his very own eyes. He just needed to realize it. Overall, this was fantastic. The twist was amazing and classic Lily White. I am obsessed and can’t wait for her antihero series!! Bravo! 5 stars! ~Ratula
I was introduced to Ms. White’s writing by Enticing Journey, and, I can’t thank them enough. Ms. White’s books draw you in with her engaging writing, it is VERY Difficult to put down. What is also fantastic, in this case, you will have to put this book down unless you start it on a day off! Lots and lots of wonderful pages! Both Lennon and Amelia are well fleshed characters. Lennon at 28, guess age does not matter, is definitely an “alpha,” uber sexy male! Amelia, a sassy 18 year old! Loved the plot and the amazing relationship. I just love when the hero protects his lady! Love this quote: “I own you from this moment on. Every day. Every second.” Cannot wait to read more and more by Ms. White!
Lily White knows how to deliver a story that leaves you breathless and on the edge of your seat.
This hauntingly melodic love story of two souls searching for each other without even knowing it will have you turning pages at a rapid speed.
And while I wanted to take my time and soak in the world that was being created on the pages I couldn’t. With each line I read I needed more and more.
“I wasn’t sure any man would ever compare to him in my life. Wasn’t sure there would ever be another person who perfectly harmonized with the music I carried inside me.”
~Lily White
Lennon was definitely a dedicated teacher and Amelia a willing student.
The chemistry between these two was off the charts and the naughty bites were smoldering.
But underneath all the chemistry and naughtiness was a story of two people falling deeply and madly in love with each other. Two broken people who were only whole when they were together.

A standalone Student/Teacher Forbidden Romance!
Lily White delivers forbidden in her own twisted way. I gobbled this up. I definitely wasn’t expecting such an emotional reaction to the story, it wouldn’t be a Lily White book without the sudden punch to the gut. Lennon and Amelia’s story evokes a myriad of emotions. A thunderstorm of dirty and forbidden, a beautiful rainbow to watch with wonder! Hot and cold. The invisible line between the two will have your stomach in knots. The selflessness will have you weak in the knees.
“How was it even possible that two people who’d never known each other could have family secrets and painful shames that were so inextricably linked.”
Lily White writes with purpose, even in it’s dirtiest form, the words were strung together in a breath-taking manner. Erotic escapism, vividly written with all your fantasies in mind. The hand was definitely in the cookie jar and I loved every taboo bit. Lennon could teach me anything he wants, I’m an eager student.
This story will have to breathless, a pink tinge on your cheeks, and an intense feeling in your chest! You will not want to put this down.
If taboo is your jam, this one is lathered with forbidden. I highly recommend!
“Say please.”
Holy freaking Lennon Carter. When you start this book, make sure you have a few hours free because you will not want to put it down. Lily is a book goddess that can write no wrong.
Amelia, a young, talented pianist, dreams of attending Hastings: a prestigious school for young musicians. In order to attend, she must beat out 49 other students for a scholarship. Unfortunately, the first time she meets her teacher, she attempts to rob him outside of a music store. After their unconventional introduction, the two feel an undeniable attraction to each other. They know he can lose his job and she can lose her chance at a scholarship, but the need is too strong.
This was definitely one of the lighter romances I’ve read from Lily, but I loved it just as much as her dark romances. All the stars!!!
Amazeballs.
Seriously how am I going to find the words to put into this review, to portray how awesome this story is. Just read it- will that do? No? Ok let’s give it a go.
If you like taboo reads then this is definitely a story for you. I sat down this afternoon to read this. I sadly put my kindle down to make dinner & send some important emails. Then I took myself to bed to finish it. There was no way I could leave this for another day.
As I sit here I’ve got a smile on my face and I’m happy. This story was just what I needed 🙂
Lennon and Amelia’s story is awesome. I’m not sure you should do what I did & sit and read it in the sun cos seriously I was hot in more ways than one reading some of these scenes lol
Although I ain’t got a clue about music this is a fantastic read. The author took me into her Sin & Discipline world to escape and I lived every minute of it. I can’t wait to read more from this author in the future.
WOW, this is a super hot music student/teacher taboo romance. If that’s your thing, don’t pass this up. Amelia and Lennon have amazing chemistry. This is on the lighter side of Lily’s writing if you’re familiar with her so don’t be afraid lol
Everyone has their go to tropes. One of my tropes is forbidden romance. Within this trope, the reader can see the struggles the characters face, the environment which the characters are placed in, and the sexual tension which can either be a slow burn or unite itself quickly. This story had all this and so much more. Lennon and Amelia had amazing banter. Even though one of the characters was the student and the other the teacher, they both were getting a lesson on life, family, and of course love.
I love a forbidden romance and this student/teacher tale does not disappoint. Amelia has a hard life and her hopes and dreams for the future depend upon a scholarship to a prestigious school for music. Lennon came from the same town and has a lot of baggage from his difficult childhood. He is one of the two teachers that will be deciding the fate of the students and who will compete for the scholarship. Let’s just say that these two meet before they see each other in the classroom and that meeting sets the stage for everything that happens. This story is taboo and smoking hot. I loved Amelia when she was strong and feisty and I loved her just as much when she was sweet and vulnerable. Lennon is always strong and dominant. The two of them make the most beautiful music together.
Sin & Discipline is not your typical student-teacher romance. It combines sex and music to make a beautiful concerto. Lennon and Amelia are sensational together. They are so different but yet the same. Their story is both breathtaking and heart braking. Lily White has presented another amazing story which tackles a taboo theme and manages to make your heart flutter. This book was alluring, intense, intriguing, original and seductive. I loved Sin & Discipline and highly recommend it.

This is a very different book but it was intriguing enough to pull me in to the end.
Amelia Dillion was the daughter of two professional pianists. Her elder brother Ben had lost his way as a musician, when the love of his live committed suicide. His parents put all their hopes onto Amelia. Her mother gave piano lessons and taught Ben’s girlfriend, but they had to keep it a secret as her parents didn’t want her to be distracted from music. She had a younger brother called Lennon who she cared for deeply as her parents only had time for her. After her suicide he was determined to make it out of there and be a pianist in memory of his sister.
Unfortunately after a family tragedy altered their life a year after that her father got the onset of Alzheimer’s even though he had taken over doing the lessons. They had to move from their home to what would be called the rough area. Ben was now the sole breadwinner, but he could not keep a job down so was forced to turn to crime and also drag Amelia with him even though he wanted her to get her scholarship. She tried to mug a man in a car park who turned out to be her teacher for the scholarship. Now he turns out to be a little kinky, who came from the same area as Amelia lives in now and worked his hardest to get out, which he did and became the famous pianist LENNON Carter. This is where it starts getting a little more, let’s say interesting. It is well written and a little bit far fetched, but very entertaining.
A forbidden and taboo story by Lily White? Sign me right up! No one does dark, forbidden and taboo quite like Lily White. In Sin & Discipline we get a teacher/student taboo (consenting adults) romance that was hot and steamy and I loved every word of it!
Lennon was all alpha. He was a dark, sexy man who liked to be in control, but was also caring for those that mattered to him. Amelia, 18, was his student and performed the piano beautifully. She was feisty and determined. They had amazing chemistry and you could feel their connection through every page.
I absolutely adore anything written by Lily White. Her stories will consume you and Sin & Discipline was no different. I devoured it. I loved Lennon and Amelia and their story was hot and steamy and will grab you from the start!
Read and reviewed for Sultry Sirens Book Blog.
