Lessons in Corruption

Not for me.
Too instalovey, immature characters that lacked depth, cringe dialogue, too many “babe”, over-the-top drama on multiple fronts that became too much and unnecessary.
The secondary characters seemed more interesting than Cress and King. The steamy moments were great, though.
Maybe I should give up on MC books but I'm curious about the third book in the series. I might give this series another shot.

Considering that this book had two of my least favorite romance tropes, age-gap + student-teacher, I didn't have high hopes for this one but it delivered. I'm a sucker for stories where a guy falls first which was handled so well in this one considering the tropes in it. 
Other characters were intriguing so I'll check out other books in this series.

I think I fell too hard for all the hype on booktube surrounding this series, because it was ‘just okay' and MC fiction (especially that which strays so far from MC reality) has never really been my thing. However, I fell for the poor little groomed, victimized, neglected, sheltered teen wife who grew a backbone when she aged into a young woman of 26 and went full steam ahead for what she desired. (emphasis on the steam part). The editing and writing left a lot to be desired, but the story line was decent. I sure hope book 2 is as good as it has been rumored to be.
