SCHOOLED 4.0
Schooled 4.0
The “SMUT-TACULAR” Teachers’ Edition
Four Books in One
“How far will you go for an A?”
The horrifying shock of witnessing her husband banging his skank-whore secretary spurred this ever-wholesome and rule-following teacher to seek some new lessons of her own. A young teacher learns about sexuality, pleasure, and satisfaction from rather unlikely and forbidden teachers, her former students, now recent college graduates. Not only does she get SCHOOLED by the beautifully-built, all-American football player who struggled to pass her class, but she also learns a few tricks from the innocent, well-read, and thoroughly sexy bookworm. Both men teach her that not all curricula worth learning comes from a book. But when it’s time to make THE FINAL LESSON PLAN, the newly-sexualized teacher must take the curriculum further into the bedroom and even closer to her heart in order to decide which scholar will graduate “cum lade.”
But while the teacher is working on her lessons, her friend is making some heat of her own in CHAR GRILLED JASPER, burning up the pages with sexy secrets and sizzling sensuality. Meanwhile, a “girls only” class is experimenting in the sciences with a focus on chemistry, physics, and of course anatomy in ALL GIRLS’ SCHOOL.
This book is for mature, open-minded people. All others: one-click something else, because this book is graphically erotic and not for the faint of heart.

My Thoughts - Story
When Ms. Bright first approached me to read and review this book…I looked back and remembered when Schooled first came out. I added it to my TBR shelf and then took it off…then added it back again and then…yeah you guessed it…I took it off.
I kept flip flopping back and forth because I was stuck on the student/teacher thing too much. Well, the past few weeks have taught me that not ALL student/teacher books are taboo or bad. So I thought I would give it a whirl and let me tell you …. I was far from disappointed.
This book had me laughing and following right alongside the characters. I felt like they were all old friends and how much I loved Janelle, Briggs and Leo ß loved these guys!
Then as soon as I’m coming down off my high from those characters – we get another book and this one is about Jasper and Char…but not only that – then we get ANOTHER with Sarah….shit I felt like it was Christmas come early!
My Thoughts – Writing Style
I am so happy that I waited to read this all together and after Ms. Bright put it through some upgrades and enhancements. Not that I’m saying I would have liked it less…I just know right now that it can’t get much better than this. She has this ability to tell a story without it seeming like a story. It’s more like she is enveloping you into the action and life.
Re-Cap
Now I know…you are saying – UGH another student/teacher story…but it’s not – Janelle is 29 years old and she picks up with Briggs and Leo who are past students of hers.
They are already out of school and about 23 years old. So this isn’t taboo…the age difference isn’t bad and looking past that she was their teacher a few years back…I see nothing wrong with this. Plus Janelle really needs the ego boost after her husband doing some smashing of her self-esteem. JERK. Not only does she have 1 young guy vying for her attention…but 2 hunk a licious guys!
I think I’m gonna end there before I give away who she ends up with and what happens after.
The other 2 follow up stories are novellas and definitely worth reading…like I said…this is so much all wrapped up in one~~

What would YOU do if you husband traded you in for another woman? What would you do if you had two very hot men interested in erasing the pain of a failed marriage? Fighting over you?
What would you do if you've fallen for you best friend's brother, one that seems so out of reach and untouchable?
What about if you have never really enjoyed a single sexual experience with anyone, until you meet someone that makes your heart stutter and knees tremble with desire?
Four books!
Deena Bright sent me her ARC of Schooled 4.0 and that was it. I couldn't put it down. I had missed Briggs and Leo. My God, did I miss Briggs and Leo. I felt the same tug of war and I did when Schooled first came out. Briggs? Leo? Who would Janelle choose? How the hell could she decide? And what about her job? I rehashed the drama as if it were the very first time I was reading it. Deena added so much more to the first two stories. More steam, more character development, more of her much loved humor and pop culture bits, and a hell of a lot more SMUT. There was nothing SMUTLESS about any of these books. I savored them. I savored the hot intense feeling they evoked out of me. And Janelle chose the right man, the perfect one!
Then Deena added even more. Jasper and Char's story. This story had me twisting in my panties. I loved Jasper, the development of their relationship took YEARS and I loved them and their angst every step of the way. At the end of that book there's a novella about the characters Sarah and Vivian that was out of this world!
I love the writing style of Deena Bright. She writes like she's a friend just shooting the breeze telling you a story. Every one of her characters were relatable to me in some sort of way. Except Marcus, we ALL HATE MARCUS. The way she writes dialogue is so natural and real you can practically hear the characters speaking in front of you. And the humor? Deena Bright just cracks me up on every page. Just the pop culture references alone throughout the books make me giggle and want to be Deena's best friend.

All in all I did enjoy the series. It was hilarious! I especially loved Char's POVs. I need a friend like her. :)

Well students, it's done!
I have to say; I'm happy with it. When you can read your own book and actually giggle and tear up, then it's a pretty good book. I re-read the original SCHOOLED and THE FINAL LESSON in the early spring and was disappointed in myself for the errors and lacking "wow factor." I think I've pretty much rectified those issues. I think if you loved the first book, then you're going to LA-LA-LOVE this 4-book series.
I will admit; I'm going to miss my SCHOOLED gang. It's strange how you can become friends with your own characters. (That might be a little psycho, but hey, I never claimed SANITY.) I hope that you'll one-click SCHOOLED 4.0 and get lost for a while in their crazy, raunchy, sex-filled world. I know I did. If you like it, please leave a review and recommend it to a friend or 80. If you hated it, then well, you should…eh, forget it, I won't go there! :-)
Keep in touch--with yourself and others ;-)
Keep reading!

Schooled
Four stars
Schooled 4.0 is a collection of four books following the lives of Janelle, a high school English teacher, and her friends and family. The first two books are about Janelle herself, the third book, Char Grilled Jasper features her brother and best friend, and All Girls School is about a former student.
The first book begins with Janelle walking in on her husband in bed with his secretary. Instead of confronting him on the spot, she leaves, heading to the local bar in order to drown her sorrows in alcohol. It is there that she meets up with hottie, and former student, Briggs. Over the course of an alcohol-fueled evening, they dance and reminisce about his time as her student and it becomes clear that Briggs would be more than happy to put the moves on her. Janelle, of course being a teacher, doesn’t possibly want to risk a relationship with a former student so she laughs it off. When Briggs shows up at her door again, let’s just say that there is a mutual attraction and they begin a firestorm of a sexual relationship.
Janelle wants to be clear from the beginning that she is only in it for the sex, but Briggs is quickly becoming attached to her emotionally as well. Things get complicated when Leo shows up on the scene. Leo too is a former student and he has been hired to work in Janelle’s brother’s yard (she’s staying in his pool house). There is a definite attraction between Janelle and Leo as well, although it is on a very different level. It’s not the explosive sexuality she feels with Briggs, but far more emotional. Both guys fall in love with her for very different reasons, but of course she is left knowing that she can’t be with either of them or her job may be in jeopardy. While she is only 5-6 years older than her former students, the school district doesn’t necessarily condone sleeping with students, whether they’re of the former variety or not.
At the end of Schooled Janelle is left to make a choice. Risk her job in order to find happiness with a new man? If she does take the risk, whom does she choose? The flashy former football star Briggs? Or the intellectual with substance Leo?
Schooled 2: The Final Lesson Plan
Four stars
The Final Lesson Plan picks up right where the last book left off. Janelle has to make a choice between the two men that are vying for her attention. In an effort to make things “fair”, the guys have come up with a plan that they have a month to “woo” her. They’ll each get the same amount of time with her so that she can get to know them better in the same amount of time. While the idea started out great, not only does jealousy derail their plans, but Leo finds himself having to put his family first, essentially conceding to Briggs. Janelle is conflicted; she had a deeper connection with Leo and immediately bonded with his family when he took her home to meet them. Briggs on the other hand, while claiming to be in love with her, seemed to lack the maturity to carry on anything other than a sexual relationship.
With Leo out of the picture though will Janelle default to Briggs? Or are there other options out there? Maybe it’s time to focus on herself, to put herself first for once?
Things seem to turn around for Janelle, the school board is off her back and she is starting to see her future more clearly. Ultimately we find out her choice that will make Janelle’s happily ever after come true. It’s a sweet ending and I know *I* am happy with the way things turned out!
Char Grilled Jasper
Five stars
How could I not love this story? Having met Char and Jasper in the first two books, I appreciated this peek into seeing how it was the two of them managed to come together. As the two of them have admitted themselves, they’re like fire and ice. While the first two books pulled on emotion dealing from the demise of Janelle’s marriage and her subsequent evolution (while still being funny), Char Grilled Jasper uses humor and sexual tension that is as palpable as it is hilarious. This very well may have been my favorite story from the collection; seeing the two opposites come together without having to leave their true selves behind.
Adding to the hilarity is the fact that the entire relationship between Jasper and Char is taking place behind everyone’s backs. In an effort to not add one more stressful thing to Janelle’s plate, the two decide to keep their relationship a secret until after the school year is over and Janelle will be able to handle things better without having to add losing her job to the mix. Unfortunately because of the swift and brutal way Janelle found out about her marriage (or lack thereof) the couple decides to keep the relationship under wraps for a while longer. Finally, when things reach a breaking point, the cat is let out of the bag and turns out, the result is a positive, all the way around. Jasper and Char bring out the best (and yes, sometimes the worst) in each other, but the result strengthens a tight knit family even more.
All Girls School
Five stars
Sarah is the former student of Janelle (although she is not referenced in this book). A senior in high school, she and her boyfriend of three years decide to break up shortly before she leaves for college. Choosing to leave Ohio to attend James Madison University in Virginia, she doesn’t want her boyfriend, whom is her best friend to wait for her while she is gone. Starting at JMU, she soon finds a new boyfriend and they date for two years. Even though they too are intimate, she is again left with the feeling that he is more of a friend, rather than someone she could spend the rest of her life with. Sex with him is…less than stellar, much like it was with her high school boyfriend. But when she works with Vivian on a linguistics project, she begins to see things differently, and question what it is she has been looking for all along.
Sarah and Vivian become close, best friends over the course of working together, and it isn’t until well into their platonic relationship that it comes out that Vivian is a lesbian. Sarah finds herself looking at Vivian in an entirely different way, and proceeds to act on her feelings, but having had her heart broken by a woman that was “experimenting”, Vivian is quick to rebuke Sarah’s advances. What results is a story of self-discovery and love, of finding who you are at the time in life where you’re still afforded that opportunity.
Overall feelings:
I loved this anthology. I loved the author’s use of humor throughout and the way she is able to manipulate the sexual attraction between each of the (many!) couples throughout the books. My interest was kept throughout and I really felt like I got to know the characters. It’s a long read, but definitely worth it. If you’re a fan of rom-coms with a spicier side, this is for you!

From the very first book in the series, from the first character we are introduced to, Janelle is someone that you automatically feel for. You want her to battle back from adversity and come out for the better. Then given the situation of having to choose between two fantastic men, which have completely opposite qualities (and both amazing in their own way), she battles inside herself for who will be that person that completes her. With a choice like that, how can she go wrong?!
But the qualities and heart that Janelle possesses shows her true character. Not only is she an amazing and caring teacher, but she worries for both herself and the one she doesn’t choose, and how their hearts will be impacted afterwards. After finishing the second book, and realizing who her missing piece is (and jumping up and down for the one she chose because even the reader can realize it is the right choice), Janelle is able to live her life, finally fulfilled.
I love that the third book, Char Grilled Jasper, goes back in time before Marcus and Janelle got married, giving an even greater insight into what happened with the failed marriage, making the reader even more remorseful that Janelle was so wrong in her first choice for a “happily ever after”. But even more, we get to see sides of the crass Char and reclusive Jasper. Not just a best friend and brother who are both always there for Janelle, we get to connect to their lives as well. This book was oh so amazing. The sex was oh my delicious. Words so wonderfully detailed that you could picture it as it was being described…and would get hot as you read it! Man this book was amazing! But love, that wonderful four letter word, is amazing and throughout this whole book.
The final book touched me in so many ways. Love is an amazing four letter word. And once someone finds it, they need to fight and never let that go. This book explains exactly how that happened…no matter how society looks at it.
The heat in all four of these books is for real! Each character has their likes and dislikes, all totally different, which gives the reader tons of juicy scenes to read (and reread and reread and reread!).
This series is about love and how to fight for what you love, no matter the stereotypes or what others believe. The way all four stories are woven into each other, keeping the reader in touch with all characters, makes this a phenomenal read. The books are absolutely amazing and touch on so many real world scenarios, which are resolved seamlessly, that this will be a book that I will definitely reread. Definitely one of my new favorite authors!!!

4 Stories in one book.
So the first two stories in this book are more like one big one and this is really the star of this set of books.
Janelle has been with her man for 5 years married for two and getting fustrated with the lack of sex, only to find out it's just sex with her he doesn't care for when she finds him more than getting along with his secertary. When she takes control and leaves him she finds out just how rotton he was and how much her family and friends had been trying to tell her how much of a scumbag he was all along.
She sets out to discover herself and ends up finding two great guys who happen to be her ex students. Now this might be the part where you're thinking oh hell no student/teacher so wrong and not my style of book. So allow me to ease your knee jerk reaction She's 29 and her ex students are 23/24 and more than 5 years out of high school. Ok? Not as bad as you thought right?
Briggs was the all star athlete with the big football future until an accident made it all crash down around him. Most saw him as a dumd jock, but once you start reading about him you see how much of himself he hides. He didn't let the accident ruin him he rose above it all and is making one heck of a life for himself.
Leo was your typical quiet guy nerd type turned STUD after high school. He's well read, sweet, and thoughtful. He cares deeply and keeps thing close to the vest until he's sure about things.
I loved them both and how they each showed Janelle a side of herself she never realized she really needed. And how she picked ******* in the end I loved how it was all done. (What did you really think I was gonna give it away and tell you who she ended up with? Yeah right!!!)
Janelle might be older in years but in some ways she was niave about life, I loved seeing her some out of her shell and watching all three grow and evolve throughout.
OK now the other two books were more like novellas one about Char and Jasper and how their surprise relationship came to be. And the other is about Sarah and how a few years back she came to find her true self.
Also there's funnies at every turn with Deena's writing where everything can be ammusing including a whole host of accoliades at the end of each book that truely keeps you rolling on the floor laughing.
Oh and don't get me started on all the hotness throught these books! Keep the fan on and try not to let the pages melt in front of you cause phew what a total load of hottness reading this was!!
Definitely enjoyed these books and worth every penny. This is one I'll be reading again for sure ;)
So the first two stories in this book are more like one big one and this is really the star of this set of books.
Janelle has been with her man for 5 years married for two and getting fustrated with the lack of sex, only to find out it's just sex with her he doesn't care for when she finds him more than getting along with his secertary. When she takes control and leaves him she finds out just how rotton he was and how much her family and friends had been trying to tell her how much of a scumbag he was all along.

Christ on a cracker, I love Deena Bright! I had read Schooled and Schooled Too, back when they were released and laughed my way through both. Not to mention, the woman knows how to write a sex scene. So, when I was given the chance to read Schooled 4.0, I didn’t have to think twice.
This time, we are given Char and Jasper’s story, along with Sarah’s. And, I found myself getting quite emotional with both.
I love Char and Jasper! They are hilarious and it was awesome watching their relationship develop and play out, all in secret. That man knows how to use his…money! What did you think I was going to say?
And Sarah? Watching her figure things out and deciding what she wants was beautiful! I liked her character from the very beginning and I’m very glad that Deena gave us more of her.
Be ready to laugh your @$$ off and fall in love with several different people! Oh, and enjoy the accolades at the end of each book. They, too, are hilarious!

A woman scorned, Janelle decides to finally give into the fantasies she has only read about in books.
I've decided to review this book by posting the messages I sent to this author as I read it. (albeit edited for a public forum)
I'm 15% in and Holy $%it! Wow. (This expression was repeated out loud a lot, much to my husbands annoyance.)
18% - The taste of her cherry Chapstick.....
25% - Now I am rooting for the underdog. What a lucky wench.
31% - For the love of all that is perverted, let this be a menage.
40% - It's like a smutty version of Sophie's choice. I can't even.....
57% - Oh god, how in the world do you decide which puppy to kick? You don't, you never ever kick a puppy.
70% - Is Jasper a real person? If so, he is going on my hall pass list.
100% - Your accolades at the end of each book are as funny as the books themselves. Your a nut!
* you're, I totally did that on purpose.
Go buy this book, your libido will totes thank me for it later.

What a fun series!
I especially enjoyed the accolades Deena Bright wrote. I laughed out loud many times.
Deena has a unique style of writing, and her stories will pull you in and keep you reading.
Her characters are well drawn out, fun, and added to the whole series.
You'll have to read the series to find out about Janelle's journey, and how she relates to the different men who are in her life.
Deena's humor shines throughout the whole series.
Go in with an open mind, your favorite drink, put your feet up and enjoy the world Deena Bright has created.

I got this book because the idea sounded interesting.
I was however amazed by how good it actually was, I've so far only finished the first 2 stories but I'm compleatly hooked.
I want both the guys in this book, they are well written characters with more depth than i have come to even hope for in books lately.
Deena i know I've already said this but you are amazing and i know everyone who reads your work appreciates you and your writing just as much as me

Full on whit and amazing humor. This sexy too hot to handle story just has me in awe. Four books with amazing characters that you feel a loss for when you are done. Char is one of my favorite characters of all time and I would so much to read more about her and the fact that her story is done doesn't matter. If I was gay I would want her. Highly recommend this great story!

This book was so much fun to read. I was in love with the sexy fun Briggs. Then the amazing sweet Leo. Oh my! How could you choose? I need a best friend like Char. She's the best! The accolades, a sneak peak into the author's thoughts, so funny. Absolutely a must read!

Janelle is now single with finding out about her husband's infidelity. And in her darkest time she reconnects with 2 former students. And a whirlwind triangle romance between Janelle with Leo and Briggs, there are outside forces that effect this dynamic, like from her ex. But Janelle also must decide to stay with the sexy athlete Briggs or handsome bookworm Leo. Its a happy ending overall even though I wished she could be with both. There is also 2 more stories one for Janelle's brother and best friend. A FF story for some female classmates.
