This book was a better version of some wattpad stories I read growing up. Very very spicy but I’m not complaining… read this so fast considering how many pages it was. I do wish there was more of a backstory with the mafia part of the story though.
I dropped this book because it didn’t really peak my interest. The smut was good but it didn’t feel like there was much of a build up or any connection between them before it threw us into it.
I love mafia romances.. this one didn’t disappoint! Don’t be fooled with the mafia element… the spice is 🥵… I enjoyed the dynamic between the characters. It’s very focused on their sexuality for sure. The world is dark but intriguing, tropes included was elements of bdsm, a minor age gap more so professor and student romance. Can’t wait to learn more about this series! Looking forward to reading more by the author. Huge thanks to the author for gifting me a copy! All opinions are my own.
True to its name, WICKED LESSONS offered a wickedly fun time while I was reading. I think this book will particularly appeal to fans of Fifty Shades of Grey for the similar themes, though I found this one much more appealing. Key factors were the forbidden romance aspect (professor/student) and the BDSM sex. If those sound like things that appeal to you, I highly recommend this book! Something I appreciated about Wicked Lessons was the plot element. True, the main focus was definitely the hot romance between Marius and Phoenix, but I feel like the gangster element added amazing tension the more I became invested in the relationship. However, the amazing chemistry between the main characters carried the story! These characters won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, as Marius is very possessive and controlling, while Phoenix can come across as a little too reckless, but I really enjoyed them and found their personalities to be very fitting to this sort of story. The only thing that didn’t completely convince me was some of the inner dialogue regarding the age gap. Phoenix is twenty-one, while Marius is twenty-eight. Personally, I didn’t feel like it was a big enough gap to justify some of Phoenix’s thoughts on the matter, but others might feel differently! Thank you to the author for gifting me a copy.

Do you know the phrase “sweating like a sinner in church?” Well, it’s fitting for this book, because it was HAWT! Wicked Lessons was an unputdownable smutty read. The romance is taboo, with an age gap mafia romance between a professor and a student, with some BDSM. When they meet, Marius and Phoenix don’t even know that, but once they do, they don’t stop their encounters. The heat between the two was undeniable and intense, leading to some of the longest smexy scenes I’ve had the pleasure to read. While the sexual chemistry was all there, I would have loved for there to be a few more bonding moments between the two. I felt like I was missing The Moment, the one where lust turns into love. Nevertheless, this is a must read for all of us smut lovers! Thank you to the author for gifting me a copy. Opinions are my own.
