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 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?

HOSTED BY:

Leopard met the Lion! Cause a leopard may not be able to change its spots, but you can roar your past and redeem yourself even after you burned a lot of bridges. This is book 6 in the Scandalous series and while each book can be read as a standalone the characters do have continuing stories in each book. You can follow along without feeling lost, but if you have read all the books I think it makes you enjoy it that much more. I picked up the series from book 3 and have not read book 1 (Bailey’s story) and book 2 (Indie’s story). Though I almost feel like if I read Bailey’s story this would either help or hurt my opinion on Christina. Oh Christina, Christina you were quiet the Villain in high school and you did some very cruel things, but just when you start to appear as the better grown up person, Bennett lands in your lap (OK, not literally, but maybe so haha). Bennett doesn’t look his age nor act his age and that man bun is hot! The attraction between these two is scorching, the jealously is real and can they really stay apart for ten weeks till he graduates? That is the question among many you will want to know reading this story. 

While I am glad how the story ended, there is still a little piece of me hoping that Audrey (her story is book 5) ended up with Bennett. BF it is! No that is not a spoiler either! This band of family/friends have quite the scandalous stories and each book just keeps getting better and better with the scandal that occurred. You will fall in love with all these characters, so I hope to see more of this series down the road or through a next generation series. 

The only thing that bothered me about this book (and no it wasn’t the student/teacher aspect) was the book cover. Yes, Bennett looks older than his age, hence, how him and Christina ended up in this predicament, prior to them learning she was going to be his substitute teacher for Bailey’s leave. But… she looks very young (younger then the guy). I’m a total cover girl and to me this represents what the author thinks the characters portray for me to get an idea of their description and it didn’t do the book justice this time. Other than that, I loved the story and the continuing secondary characters story in the book. Plus, I loved the 180 Christina did based upon what we knew of her past. Bennett truly stole the show in this affair!
