This has been sitting on my kindle for awhile and I have been meaning to get to reading it, but for some reason it just sat there. A friend of mine has been telling me to read these books, and after finishing Defy I have no idea what took me so long to start! I loved this story and I am already anxious for more from L.J. Shen! 
 Defy had everything I could ask for, and I didn't want to put it down! Jaime and Melody were fantastic. Jaime is Melody's student and his mother is the principal. Jaime and his friends (they call themseves the HotHoles) pretty much run the school and town, with their parents all being rich and influential. So when Melody accidentally hits Jaime's car and thinks life as she knows it is over, Jaime throws her for a loop by offering to make it all go away if she will be with him. Though Melody can't deny the chemistry between them, she knows that if she goes there and anyone finds out it will destroy her life. 
 I loved these two together. They were super sexy and I just couldn't get enough. Jaime was alpha and I loved that he wasn't afraid to take control. While he was commanding though, he wasn't a jerk about it and seeing Melody surrender herself to him was what had me unable to put this one down. These two fit so well together despite all the reasons they shouldn't be together and I cannot recommend this one enough. 
 I am really looking forward to continuing this series and getting to know the other HotHoles better after seeing a little bit of them here. Jaime and Melody were great and this sexy story is a must read!
