TROPES: ~coach/student ~small age gap ~instalove ~anxiety/panic attack rep!
I really enjoyed this novella! I love forbidden romances so I ate this one right up! This is about a swim coach and his student. They have great chemistry together and the spice was great. I do wish there was a little more background history on why the heroine's parents aren't around.
TROPES: ~instalove ~popular/manwhore hero & shy/virginal heroine ~high school
This was such a cute novella. Low on angst, medium on heat, and high in cute moments. It fit perfectly to what I needed right now as a palate cleanser!
As I finish the second triplet in this series, I must admit I am divided. While Love Me Sweet is one of my favorites, if not my favorite of the six, these novels are beginning to get somewhat predictable and repetitive.
Love me Sweet is a mix of many tropes. It is described as a friends-to-enemies-to-lovers. Which is acciurate since Josh Underwood and Kendall O'connor have always been best friends... until hormones and feelings complicated everything. When they come together though? Sweetest, hottest thing you will ever read. I'm just a bit disapponted we didn't get a bit more of that summer. I could write endless fanfic about it.
Leave Me Breathless is this series version of age-gap-forbidden-fruit-damaged-guy. The kind I can get on boatd with because both Alex and Gabi can still be considered young-ish, he is nobody's dad and tehy are only ten years apart. I love the swimming theme, and the pop culture references. and the hot scenes are definitely really hot. This one is also a litter deeper than others.
Give Me Everything I'm not sure how to classify in terms of tropes. I guess a bit of all of them but the age gap. I can say I like Dom though he looks like a spoiled brat playboy in the beginning. And I can understand and empathise with Serena - like I do with all of these girls. And I do like the dynamics between the two of them. Feels far too quick, but these novellas are just like that - except in the first 4 the pairs already knew each other mostly.
Anyway, these are very good, I just wish there was a bit more variety - not in the tropes exactly, but in the people. Could there be a roles-reversed story in the last triplet? I'll have to find out!
Below is a review of one of the books to give you an idea of what you will find in this collection. Academy Collection 2 includes the following titles:
❤ LOVE ME SWEET - best friends to enemies to lovers sweet bully romance ❤ LEAVE ME BREATHLESS - a forbidden high school age gap romance ❤ GIVE ME EVERYTHING - bad boy shy girl enemies-to-lovers romance
*** Reviewing “LOVE ME SWEET” *** Kendall and Josh had been good friends through their childhood. But something happened to change things. When Josh returned from camp, he started acting hateful toward Kendall and refused to tell her why. It isn’t until they spend time together on a family vacation and they finally talk about what went wrong. Is it too late to repair the damage to their relationship? Can they at least restore their friendship? Because with these two, love cannot be far away.
This is precisely the reason that communication is so vital to any relationship. If Josh had talked to her about what upset him, they would at least have opened up to understanding and perhaps eliminating the problem back when it occurred. It’s never too late to communicate. But allowing your mind to guess and anticipate what the other is thinking just creates anger and never works. They wasted a lot of time when this whole thing was about two people who really cared for each other all along. Is there a HEA still waiting for them?
This was a steamy friends to enemies to lovers romance. It was a short story with a good pace. I really liked the chemistry between Kendall and Josh but I didn’t like the bully parts of the story, I understood why and could somewhat sympathize but Josh took it way too far for me. But I did like them together and liked their HEA.
Leave Me Breathless: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was a sweet age gap romance. It was a short story that had a fast pace. Gabi and Alex had a unique first meeting and they connected from the start. I liked the way they were together but the Meredith part of the story rubbed me the wrong way.
Give Me Everything: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was a cute opposites attract romance. It was a short story that had a good pace. Dom and Serena had great chemistry and I liked how he brought out her playfulness. The story had a little OW drama that was resolved quickly and a sweet HEA.
If I had to choose a favourite couple it would be Gabi & Alex
Another fantastic collection to read. Included are 3 steamy, romance stories for your reading pleasure.
Book 1 - Kendall & Josh~Best friends that secretly longed for each other but too afraid to say anything. Is this now their time for a chance at happiness or will his previous bullying behaviour turn her off? Book 2 - Alex & Gabi~Their connection is instant & off the charts steamy. He's now her swim coach & she's the student. How long can they fight the pull towards each other? Will a jealous rival destroy it all? Book 3 - Dominic & Serena~He's the resident rich bad boy & she's the shy girl. This bad boy needs her to tutor him or he'll fail. Can these two go from enemies to lovers? I highly recommend giving this collection a read.

If you enjoy a collection of rather risque and taboo stories all filled with wickedly fun and sexy scenarios you might enjoy this wonderfully created set of stories. "Leave me breathless" is one story that evolves around a rather naughty relationship between a coach and his student. It's a topic that can frequent news stories in the real world but is often seen more sinister, but here readers can casually just view it for a very naughty experience. Besides that is the primary objective of reading to travel to worlds that entertain without real life concerns. Perhaps its being pulled into something so tabooed by society that draws readers in?.

These steamy little stories do not disappoint. Perfect for a reader who likes spice without the story being too dark or loaded with triggers. All three have HEA with different tropes, and are short enough to get to the good stuff quickly. Enjoyed reading these as much as volume 1 and the next dirty elite volume as well.

Dirty Elite Academy Collection Part Two is three more steamy novellas from the series. This collection includes the enemies to lovers (childhood friends), coach/student forbidden romance, and rich boy/tutor angsty goodness. I liked all these stories and it's nice to have them in one collection.

This is a collection of three books where there may be a naughty inappropriate romance or relationship. In the book “Leave Me Breathless “ is a forbidden or taboo story of a coach and his student. The story was steamy and spicy. The remaining stories in the collection feature people who fall hard and fall fast. Three enjoyable stories you won’t want to miss.
I loved part two of this collection of quick read novellas. Each was enjoyable and unique in its own way with an HEA and epologue for its characters that summed up the stories nicely. Cant wait to read bundle 3!
Another fantastic boxset collection in the series. Delightfully hot and sinful. Great characters throughout, and storylines that kept me hooked until the end. Would recommend.

This collection includes: "Love Me Sweet" - best friends to enemies to lovers sweet bully romance. "Leave Me Breathless" - a forbidden high school age gap romance. And "Give Me Everything" - bad boy shy girl enemies-to-lovers romance. Great collection. And am voluntarily leaving my review.
It took me a bit longer to read the second set of novellas due to repetition. Not saying all the stories are the same because they aren’t, but a bit of the same theme and though they were very enjoyable, I find myself realizing that I enjoyed these little books a lot. All of them are Happily Ever Afters and yes, my heart is sappy and loves HEA’s but I also wanted a bit more variety when it came down to the sexy parts. I wanted a bit of difference with the stories sex scenes because they were what got repetitious in my opinion. I enjoyed the books though and I think I will read more from this author down the road.
