Challenged to become a pianist as talented as him, I became Lennon’s SIN, while he became my DISCIPLINE.
(A Forbidden Student/Teacher Romance)
more
This is only my second book by Lily White, and if the first one totally gave me the chills, Sin & Discipline brought out completely different emotions.
This taboo romance (teacher /student) was amazingly handled. The dynamics between Lennon and his protege Amelia are electric from the beginning, rapidly evolving into something deeper and complex.
“All they knew was that I was a stern disciplinarian behind a piano. They didn’t need to know that the discipline didn’t stop when I took a woman to my bed.
When family ties and secrets collide with art and music, I can only enjoy the storyline. I absolutely loved the steamy scenes around the piano. Talk about sensuality! The visual was incredibly sexy.
“In my opinion, we feel the music first, see it second and hear it last.”
Engaging characters with strong personalities, a heart-breaking story, a breathtaking tension, don’t wait any longer….Enjoy, ladies!
Uniquely seductive!
Seductive, passionate and compelling, this story is not your typical teacher student taboo story.
Oh no, there’s so much more to this story.
As an eccentric and snarky older professor and young music student, the story is similar to others.
What’s makes this read unique and stand on its own, is the story behind the student teacher connection.
Behind the steamy fast paced unconventional story, there’s a heartbreaking story of love, loss and redemption.
Lennon and Amelia meet under out of the ordinary circumstances. In fact, they seemed the unlikeliest of couples as they were as opposites as could be.
Both are flawed characters with plenty of demons and painful pasts. As their story evolves it became a real page turner as I discovered their family secrets and painful shames that were so inextricably linked.
Music was another character in this story. It was their real love, their seductress and it tethered them together whether they liked it or not. Music made their connection combustible and undeniable.
However, I had a hard time connecting with Lennon’s character because I felt his character was not developed enough, and his back story would have made him easier to understand, if it had been revealed sooner. Additionally, there were elements of his character and his eccentricities, I found confusing and made him hard to connect with. Amelia was an old soul and as her character developed she showed a strength and determination that made you wonder who was using who.
Nonetheless, I enjoyed this unconventional emotional and erotic story.
A Forbidden Taboo story!
Lily’s writing is the best. I really enjoyed her story.
Lennon & Amelia are what shouldn’t be allowed but they do it anyway.
I couldn’t put the book down because I needed to know, and I was so into the story I just couldn’t stop.
A forbidden student/teacher taboo read.
Lennon is a 28 year old sexy, dominant prick. Did I mention sexy, hot as hell type sexy. Well he’s Amelia’s teacher, she’s an 18yr old Virgin. The book was well written, it wasn’t tasteless and it flowed perfectly.
Lennon is a famous musician and in town teaching music students for the summer. Amelia is one of his students. The two end up in a romantic relationship with control and submission elements. This was a great taboo student/teacher romance. A good read.
5 Beautiful Stars for this Hot, a little twisted , heart-breaking and heart warming story.
If you love a taboo story that involves some very hot kinky sex scenes, a sexy teacher and an innocent but feisty student then you will love this one from Lily White.
Remember this is a Lily White book so expect the unexpected, hidden secrets revealed, dreams smashed and piano’s used for way more than just music.
Oh my heart. This book was so freaking good. This was my first book by Lily White and it won’t be my last. This book kept me on my toes. It kept my heart strings constantly pulled. This book has a little bit of everything! Erotica, romance, mystery, and a very well developed story line. The writing kept me captivated and wanting more. Lennon was the alpha male that you wanted to hate because he was so cruel but loved at the same time. Everything felt natural. I loved the relationship that was developed and the side stories that came along for the ride. I smiled, I laughed, and I cried with this book. That pretty much sums up a great book
Ok, here goes. I absolutely loved this book, might be a taboo story but both characters grab you and don’t let you go. All I can say about Lennon is he can be my teacher any day of the week, might be a disciplinarian but wow he’s got a heart of gold. As always there’s a nice twist within this story that you really don’t see coming. For me a must read 5*** . Lily White you actually made me cry, that’s a first.
Author Lily White has entrapped me with this beautifully, melodic, sexy as sin story.
The words flowed like a dark, powerful and tragic symphony off the pages as I read.
I felt & heard every emotion, every music note, every breathe, every touch of Lennon & Amelia words Author Lily White wrote.
This story gave me such goosebumps while I was waiting to find out the outcome of Amelia’s future & find out who Lennon really was.
Lennon is such a sexy, mysterious character who I would totally bow down to his demands in a heartbeat just to be closer to him.
Amelia is a girl who I sympathize with all she endures, but her feistiness had me loving her more especially with Lennon.
Be ready to have your mind, body & soul put into attention and then some reading this book! Once you start reading, you won’t be able to stop.
Loved everything about it
5 sinful popped!
5 STARS, for “Sin & Discipline” by Lily White!!
The book was incredible. The author weaves a web of love, loss, deception, heartbreak, a forbidden sexual relationship and a passionate love of music!!
It is a rollercoaster ride, with many unseen twists and turns, that I never saw coming. If you are new to this author’s work, this would be a great book to acquaint yourself with her writing. If you are a fan, as I am, I will say this: I haven’t read every book Lily has written, but I’ve read enough to know the ending was a HUGE SHOCKER TO ME!! I won’t give spoilers, but I have 2 words….MASSAGE PARLOR!! If you get it, good for you!!
**This book is intended for mature readers. It contains graffic sexual content**
4.5 stars
“The face I show the world is of a talented musician who dominates the keys. But the face hidden behind shadows is a man who likes to destroy pretty little things. Who likes to grasp a heart of innocence, break it down, strip it bear and demand it spreads its legs.“
Lennon and Amelia’s story is another example of how very creative and talented Lily White is!!!! I really enjoyed this edgy, musical romance that was so unlike anything else I’ve ever read.
***SPOILERS IN THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH***
If this had been my first book by White, I might not have noticed, but having read everything she’s published, I know what Ms. White is capable of…. Most of this book is extraordinarily well written. For example, the character development is unbelievable; I could easily, clearly envision the characters, their clothing, their expressions, etc.. Alternatively, there were areas of the storyline where there were major gaps. For example, we do not get any inner dialogue from the main character after she loses her virginity or makes a major geographical move. What White typed out is fantastic, but there were quite a few holes I wish had been filled.
For years Lennon Carter avoided the town he grew up in. Now that he’s back, ghosts from the past were the least of his problem. As an accomplished pianist, his goal was to mold the next generation virtuoso. But Amelia Dillon’s talent was not the only thing that hit his right key.
Lennon definitely stood out right from the beginning with his quirky fashion sense alone. Personality wise, I love the intensity he carried and how he protected and cared for those important to him.
I admired Amelia’s tenacity. She worked hard to get to where she wanted to be. While she might be young, innocent and made unwise decisions, she could stand on her own against Lennon.
I enjoyed the story overall and I liked the chemistry between both characters. They came from a different background but shared the same passion for the craft. The story was quite straight forward but I’m glad there’s a part of the revelation that was unexpected. Also, I absolutely loved how they first met.
Sin and Discipline is a story of two broken souls bound by their personal tragedies. It would appeal to readers who enjoy a forbidden romance with a pinch of kink.
This book has a whole different flavour of its own.
I wanted to read it quickly, yet savor the pages of brilliance.
It’s a book that will evoke every emotion in you.
Whether it’s the life of Amelia. The sex scenes, which will have you melting. Or Lennon who has his own secrets.
Every page turned emersed me further into their story. Brilliantly written. It will draw you in. Until you are living the story.
I almost passed this up – not only was White new to me as an author but student/ teacher is not one of my favorite genres. Something about the blurb caught my eye and I am so glad I took the chance.
I read this in one sitting- the writing was superb- engaging and captivating. The story line flowed flawlessly carrying the reader easily through Amelia and Lennon’s journey. And the cast, you couldn’t help but love or loathe them.
Angst, deception, love it was all there in spades
“A lonely soul screaming at the sky, a whisper responding with the promise that the heart will heal”
Amelia has a gift – when she places her fingers on a piano it isn’t music she creates but true emotions – her soul speaks with every note she plays
Fighting to survive each day while chasing her dream is wearing on her.
Julia, her teacher, provides her with an opportunity to make her dreams a reality. It won’t be easy and it will take all her discipline to succeed
“Sometimes you don’t need to know the cause of what decimates another person to understand it, to taste it”
Lennon lets his darkness, his pain bleed into his music. It has made him the prodigy he is today – only his darkness goes deeper than his music- it rules his world – and it is about to rule Amelia’s as well
“If I had the choice of loving both his sides, light and dark, or never knowing him at all, I would happily brave the shadows if it was his music I was following”
Two souls connected by their music
Two hearts battered and lost
One chance to grab the brass ring
One chance for redemption
One emotionally captivating love story
This was such a hot, sexy romance! It had the whole taboo teacher/student angle, plus it was just hot as hell with the whole discipline/BDSM vibe it had going on. Amelia was such a sweet, innocent girl who had alot of difficult challenges going on in her life. And Lennon was the hot, experienced, older teacher who wanted to teach Amelia more than just the piano. There was more to the story than just that though… the story had hidden layers and depth that will make you feel all the emotions!
It was a really good story, with alot of good characters in it! I really enjoyed it!
Amelia Dillon’s life appeared idyllic until her mother passed away and her father fell ill. Relying on limited resources, Amelia continues to seek a career as a symphony pianist, but she must first win a scholarship to a prestigious music academy before pursuing her dream. All seems possible until she meets her instructor.
Lennon Carter is a musical virtuoso, famous for his classical mastery in performance and composition. Growing up, Lennon’s family nurtured his sister’s musical career until his family crumbled after a tragedy. Consequently, Lennon persevered using his own methods yet the scar he bears is still painful.
With an unlikely introduction to each other, Amelia and Lennon share an immediate push/pull tension that adds to the intensity of their attraction. Though Amelia is young, she is fearless at times until Lennon asserts certain ground rules of her lessons. Adapting to Lennon’s need for discipline, Amelia is a quick study and tests his limits of restraint.
As the plot develops, the ties between Lennon and Amelia deepen and the past resurfaces in an unexpected way. Although, the direction was predictable to a degree, the predicament of these characters is effectively conveyed. I especially liked the message of feeling emotions through music and how Lennon and Amelia shared such a passion.
Sin & Discipline is a steamy taboo romance that may encourage some to stay after class for some tutoring with teacher. This book will appeal to those looking for a dirty hero and a compliant heroine.
I love this book so much! I was so captivated by this book I wasn’t able to stop reading. Lennon and Amelia are great characters. The chemistry so hot from the beginning. That ending was perfect. Heartbreaking and extraordinary must read! I would love to see books about Dizzy and Ben, just a thought. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK!

Bloody Hell!! Lily White has just dusted the cobwebs off of my libido!! This was one erotic and sensual read. She has served up an indulgent lascivious story that will leave you blushing. But as with every Lily White tale there is always an underlying target, a twist that the reader NEVER sees coming, and this is what sets her apart.
~He was a dark melody that was in perfect harmony with mine.~
Lennon Carter is a talented musician that dominates the keys of a piano. He also is talented in dominating the parts of a woman’s body. His past comes back to haunt him when he winds up teaching a summer scholarship program in his hometown.
Amelia Dillon is a young gifted pianist that knows misfortune and hardship. Her adversity bleeds through to her music. Lennon demands her obedience in the classroom and out. His music seductively caresses and entices, much in the same way that his commands and dominance sexually stimulate her body, harmoniously orchestrating a melodic composition.
When family ties and secrets are exposed, it creates a dark and tragic symphony.
4.5* Disciplined Stars
Lily White never ceases to amaze me with her words. This little nugget of a super hot, scorchingly so, taboo story about a teacher/ student. My temperature level skyrocketed while reading all the naughty things that Lennon Carter could do. My imagination going into overdrive with pictures of the sexual acts being performed. A piano and suspenders will never look the same again.
Amelia Dillon is strong, resilient and the perfect submissive when the time called for it. I really liked her. She wasn’t some young girl going all gaga over her super hot teacher, or doing stupid things but a woman who stood strong, did what was needed to be done when it came to her family.m
I really felt the connection between Lennon and Amelia. The dynamic between the two was spot on, the story flowed and with the past being mixed with the present added so much more insight into what made them tick and what drove them forward.
Lily White I give you a standing ovation for Sin and Discipline.
Lily has such a way with words!!!
This story is erotic, heartbreaking, Prince Charming, fierce female, poetic, with a some great one liners all wrapped into one. Oh lets not forget the part that you didn’t see coming. Every single time, Lily!!!!
This isn’t your typical teacher/student romance, but of course its Lily. Lily doesnt do typical, thank God for that.
Lennon oh I love him. Although I loved him from the cover. He is everything you’d want in a teacher. Supportive, nurturing, sexy, and amazing in the sack or shower or the top of a piano, oh wait don’t forget the alley!!!! Lennon is a must.
Amelia is strong, a great student, willing to take directive, and loves to practice practice practice. She’s an excellent pupil. Always trying to please her teacher.
The story is faced passed will keep your attention and its really an enjoyable read!!!
I mean I know its erotic I know it’s written with entertainment in mind, however, Lily made me feel again in this one. Certains areas hit me close to home. So kudos to Lily for an erotic story with an emotional twist.
