Broken

Winchester Academy #3

by Madison Faye

Note to self: don’t sleep with the gorgeous, tattooed, motorcycle-driving hottie after a friend’s train wreck of a bachelorette party.

Especially not when he looks at you like he wants to devour you.

Especially not when he’s a little younger looking than you.

Especially not when it turns out he’s your newest student.

…Oops.

Ethan Scott is the kind of man your mother warns you about. Reckless, cocky af, damaged, beautiful, of course, and completely irresistible. And if that weren’t a long enough laundry list of reasons to stay away?

…He’s also eight years my junior, and my student at the private high school where I teach art.

Winchester Academy’s newest bad boy student—my student—is utterly off limits. The problem is, he’s also gorgeous, tempting, addicting, and has me wrapped around his freaking finger.

The other problem is, I already slept with him.

He’s the firecracker waiting to blow, the spark that sets off the fire. He’s broken, and this whole thing could break us both. But something about him makes me go crazy. Something about him makes me say yes instead of no.

Something about him has me aching for more, no matter the consequences.

…This might be a problem.

"Broken" is the story of Emily and Ethan.

A hot one night stand between two strangers turns into so much more, when it turns out she's his art teacher. Ofcourse, despite her protests, they continue the illicit relationship and it goes as well as anyone can predict.
It was super hot and smutty and sexy- which is most of Madison Faye romances- but if this taboo topic makes you uncomfortable- as it did to me- read it with a pinch of salt. Im glad the whole power dynamic was acknowledged.
Anyways, I enjoyed it.

Safe

The last two books in the Winchester Academy series have had the male Professors sleeping with their students and now the genders have reversed in Broken. We start off with two strangers in the night - Emily and Ethan who have a one-night stand and it happened to be the best sex and night that either has had. They had a connection and a buzz that night like never before. The next day is the first day of the new semester at Winchester Academy and Emily is starting as the new art teacher. Of course, she has a new student that day as well - Ethan Scott. When she turns around and sees him, she can't believe that the guy she hasn't stopped thinking about is her new student. She can't be with him now even though he is 18 as that would be a violation of professor/student conduct. Of course, Ethan isn't going to give up and pursues Emily with all he has and the pair starts up an illicit relationship. Ethan thought is a bad boy and has messed with the wrong student - Derrick and now Derrick has Ethan's sketchbook which of course contains risque pictures? Will Derrick get his revenge on Ethan and ruin Emily's reputation as a teacher? With Emily's career on the line, will she take responsibility for her actions or will she break it off with the one guy she has ever connected properly and loved? If you are wanting a quick smutty and sexy teacher/student erotica romance then check out Book #3 in the Winchester Academy series - Broken by Madison Faye and stay tuned for the next book in the series - Banned.

Broken is book three in the Winchester Academy series.

I don't normally read older women, younger men books, but I enjoyed this one.

Short, sweet, sexy, with a dash of taboo thrown in.

4 big stars!

Would I read it again? Yes

Now i loveee madison!!! I don't like older woman younger guys.. idk why i just doesn't click for me.. it can be the most filthy dirty book lol but yeah..

I felt bad for emily since she had a tough one catching your fiance fking someone,  losing your place and on top of that getting kicked out of a bar.. talk about bad luck.. but she catches the eye of a young buck.. and well grinding and dirty sex in the back ally.. the best sex of her life..

Until she finds out Ethan gorgeous Ethan is her student lol in her art class... now she tries to fight the chemistry between the two but Ethan he isn't taking the push away he more determined than ever to get his woman ;) there is drama when a student starts talking shit about his soon to be step sister and his woman (who he can't say) and a fight breaks out..

We get more side charas.. like Zara and Carson and few.. like coach Kirby.. now i cant wait for many of their stories.. im trying to connect who is getting who lol

My problem was... for a 18 year old he didn't act like one.. he kinda acted older... which kinda though me off.. since this was a 18 guy..

Now i cant wait to see the next stories

I don't usually like older woman/younger man stories but this one is awesome. Ethan is an alpha male that is hot and a student of Emily's.

Madison does this story some great justice with this student-teacher dirty read. Loved it

4.5 Stars

“Breaths pant, hands clench, lips bruise together, the windows fog up until they’re opaque with our lust. With our sin.”

This book was seriously hot! I loved it! You could totally feel the need and want from both main characters. From their very first interaction until the very end!

Ethan and Emily couldn’t keep their hands off of each other!!

“Maybe it’s so good because it’s so wrong. Or maybe she and I were destined to be like this. Maybe every step in both of our lives have led to this one, forbidden, illicit moment, where we both push morals and decency, and social norms and her professional ethics aside and just give the fuck in to our base, animalistic desires.”

This series is really working for me! I’m loving that forbidden feel each book has. I’m definitely looking forward to the next book in this series!!!

I loved this story! I love the reversal of roles with an older woman/younger man. It is something different from Madison Faye.

Emily is the art teacher at Winchester Academy. While out with friends, she meets a guy. They have an amazing time and she doesn't expect to see him the next day in her classroom. Ethan is surprise to see her but being his teacher will not stop him from pursuing her. They start a hidden affair that blows up in their faces. While they love each other, they know that they could a big scandal. What will happen if their relationship is found out?

[April Symes · Rating 4 out of 5]

Broken by Madison Faye is the 3rd book in an very hot and steamy , no holes barred series! Book 3 just continues that rollercoaster ride of steamy scenes and feels that will have you rooting, craving and just enjoying the chemistry between Emily and Ethan who are teacher and student- the much taboo/forbidden relationship but theirs is much more than the heat. Theirs has heart. Get ready for the HEA. I can't wait for book 4!!!

4.5 STARS

Adult, Taboo, Erotic Romance

First person; Dual-POV

Book #3 of the Winchester Academy series, that can be read as a standalone.

She's my teacher. I'm her student. Separate, we're damaged. Together?

Well, I want to say we're perfect. But the truth is that it might be more than together, we're a ticking time bomb waiting to explode.

By Ethan

Addictiveness: 5/5 It was a fun sexy ride! It was fast-paced with lot of steamy good scenes. Easy, fun read! As addictive as chocolate!!!

Character: heroes 5/5, heroine 4/5, secondary characters 4/5, growth 5/5, real 3/5 Complex characters that had depth.

Ethan was amazing. Really, that boy was hot, mature, loyal, faithful. His character has the major growth during the story. I loved how protective he was and how true to himself.

Emily was a good heroine. Yes, I think she should have done things a little bit different. Of the two, she had more on the line, she was the adult of the relationship. I loved how she was proud of Ethan's talent and wanted to see him shine.

Oh, so many interesting secondary characters, I’m dying to read the principal’s book. I'm dying already to read the next book. The band nerd with 3 football player? Wow!

All characters were easy to love, connect and understand!

Cover: art 5/5, title 5/5, color-font 5/5, buy 5/5  I’m obsessed with book covers. I love to find snippets of the stories within the art. I love how this covers are being made specifically for this series, there I a lot we can learn from it. From this cover we can see the couple. Ethan the tattoo bad boy and Emily, not the dominant, but one that shares the power with Ethan. I love the background, the academy logo that hint to a school, the catchy title that gives a taboo vibe. Great work with the colors and font. I would easily buy this book by its cover, without needing to read the blurb!

Freshness: 5/5 It is unique! It is taboo, is not what is out there. The concept of the book and the series feels original. As fresh as chocolate mint ice cream!

Plot: believable 3/5, conflict 4/5, dialogue 4/5, ending 5/5, enjoyment 4/5, opening 5/5, pace 5/5, setting 5/5, subplots 4/5, twists 5/5  Hot opening and perfect ending. I mean is a very unbelievable plot, but it is fun. The conflict here was really well explored. The twists were good and this was a fast paced hot read. High level of enjoyment!

This is a erotic tale with a good fun concept. It is short and straight-to-the-point. I'm really loving the little bit snippets that we are getting from the principal on each book. I'm already swooning for that man.

Romance: believable 5/5, chemistry 5/5, description 5/5, development 5/5, steam 5/5  This is insta-love. It is fast and wild. The heroine had amazing chemistry with the hero and the way they met was HOT! Their classroom encounter STEAMY HOT! Great scenes!!!

Writing Style: 4.5/5 In my opinion this series is Ms. Faye‘s best work yet. She has always written crazy sexy stories, but the world built for this series is amazing and these characters have layers. Even though this is an erotic read, the plot is more than steamy scenes. 

I mean, these stories still feel really unbelievable, but nothing that takes away the enjoyment of the reader.

I never doubt that Ms. Faye knew how to write smut, but within this series she has been given the reader good plots with complex characters. I'm really obsessed with this series and I can't wait for what's coming next!

32.5/35 STARS –  4.5 STARS (between 31.5 stars and 33 stars)

Addictiveness: 5 Character: 4 Cover: 5 Freshness: 5  Plot: 4 Romance: 5 Writing Style: 4.5

Action 1/5

Angst 3/5

Darkness 0/5

Would I recommend? Sure. If you like a fun, hot , fast read, this is great!

Would I re-read this book/series? I’m certain I will re-read both!

Would I read more from the author? Really looking forward to read this series until the end.

You may read this because you like the author; you SHOULD read this because you enjoy fun sext reads; you MUST read for some hot taboo romance!

[Ann Hupe · Rating 4 out of 5]

Book 3 of the Winchester Academy series. Up to this point, I think I enjoyed this book the most of the three. There’s something about Ethan and his bad boy persona (not to mention both tattoo sleeves) that earmarks him as a James Dean wannabe, but he really does have a heart of platinum. The misunderstood rebel artist is how I think of him. And for being a book character, I do envy his art studio more than any other character’s humble abode. (Read it, yourself! It’s in the book!) Add to the mixture one hot art teacher who managed to land this cushy job at this privileged academy where she can work on her personal portfolio as she really can’t quit her day job. Shake the two up, and we have a wonderful formula for mayhem where it’s the female who’s older (by eight years) who’s teaching the male (among other things). A little Mrs. Robertson, but I found this storyline very enticing and engrossing. Even when the shit hits the fan.

After that, the honeymoon is over…

Length and pace: I wish this novella was longer. It didn’t feel as long as the previous two. I’m not sure why Madison Faye didn’t flesh this one a little more. I have a half-dozen scenarios in this head that would have added additional spice without drawing out the inevitable. I will have to say that the epilogue was decent in terms of “aftercare”.

Characters: I was incredibly sympathetic towards Ethan and Emily. I’m not sure what it was that made Madison Faye create these two so satisfactorily because I wished she could have done just as good a job with her previous two books. This is one of those books that I would have gone back and reread entire swatches of passages because they were just that good! It was as if she managed to get into these twos’ heads! It was amazing! I wish there had been more.

World-creation: Most of the world-creating was outside of the academy! Oh, we do see some characters from the previous two books, and they do lend insight to this one (as well as being a harbinger of a future book) which helped. But I found the most intriguing and fantastical was Ethan’s home in what I think was a carriage house. This was redone to be his art studio and motorcycle garage. I really wished this could had been my place when I was much younger!

Continuity and editing: Too much misuse of commas, and in a lot of places, wrong words or misspellings and bad grammar. *sigh* Find yourself a new editor! I had to take off a star for this alone because the editing job was the worst out of the three so far. Continuity is good… except for one place unless the writer plans to write more books.

Realism: Maybe the main reason why I liked this was the effort in realism. The descriptive power in this book’s word-crafting was spectacular! This alone had earned the book five stars, sorry to say. (But the above robbed a star away from that. Dammmit!) Everything just felt so much more alive!

This is definitely the book to buy to justify the purchase of the previous two (and maybe the rest of this series). Not kidding. Is it because I really wished we had more Ethans in my high school? Most definitely! He might be a radical high school student, but I do appreciate him standing up for the ethics he had learned during various… “stints” (?) in his life so far. Better than most modern-day, über-rich trust-fund brats out there.

~Broken~ Madison Faye's newest release wasn't sure I'd like it but in true Madison style, I read it and loved it. Her down and durty quick I'm into you kinda lovin.

They always say age is but a number. You have the bad boy is all about showing just how good he is being bad. Sexy hot thang that he is.

Teacher, teacher yeah it's not the apple on her desk that has her in heated sweats. Yeah, she knows its no, it should be a no, now effing way but the heat between her thighs tells another tale.

Hot quick and sexy just like we like them oh let's not forget about the whole taboo thing, hmm mmm being wrong just makes it right, just makes it smokin hot and hard to deny. Get it, get it I say. Enjoy

Madison Faye has the third book in the Wichester Academy series and if you thought this series was smoking hot then you ain't seen nothing yet. Broken was so freaking good... naughty, taboo, forbidden, sweet, sexy, and over the top in the most delicious ways! From the very first moment I started this book, I was captivated and couldn't stop for one. single. moment. BLAZING HOT!!!

Madison never fails to deliver the next over the top m, insta-love romances that'll make your heart pitter patter faster and leave you squirming in your seat.

I highly recommend this book.

I enjoyed this story and the fact that the “traditional” roles were reversed. The book is very steamy with a fun and interesting plot. The characters are wonderful as well. This is book three in a series (all standalones) and set in a really addictive world. This author knows how to write, and writes over the top fantasy stories that take me away and fill my day. I received an ARC and I am leaving an honest review.

Madison Faye, the Queen of hot and dirty romance has delivered yet another winner. The third book in the Winchester Academy, Broken is an older woman/younger man/teacher/student taboo read with so much sizzling heat, you'll be needing a fire extinguisher to put out the flames.

I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.

This story is HOT! I instantly fell hard for Ethan. He’s that redeemable bad boy artist that’s completely irresistible. You will swoon from the very beginning, and melt by the end. Ms. Hayes is amazing and a perfect pairing for our guy. I loved this book the most in this series so far, and I’m super excited to read the next installment, because they just keep getting better and better!

Me gusto. esta historia estuvo bien movida.
Ethan es alumno 18+ de la academia Winchester y alla trabaja la profesora de 26+ Emily.
Comienzan su romance de una manera alocada y siempre teniendo en cuenta que si los pillan las posibles consecuencias serian que ella perdiera su trabajo y su hv quedara manchada o que Ethan tuviera que graduarse de otra academia y no de la famosa Winchester donde al parecer todos los que entran tienen el mejor futuro que los otros. Pues paso que los pillaron y la despidieron y los separaron por meses. Luego se encontraron en Chicago y montaron una galeria de expo de arte de Emily y el pago todo. Sencilla y bien contada.

⭐ Review ⭐

Broken is Book 3 in the Winchester Academy series 🎓, and this time we get a reverse age gap combined with the professor × student trope. The MMC is very protective, which fits perfectly with the academy’s darker, forbidden-romance vibe 🔥.

I really like how the universe evolves with each book — the plot gets a bit stronger every time, even though the stories still keep that smutty, quick-read style. This one has a few twists and, surprisingly, the reverse age gap worked for me. It’s not usually a trope I enjoy, but the dynamic between them kept me hooked.

A fast, steamy read that adds another fun layer to the Winchester Academy world 💋✨.

Leuker dan verwacht!

Maar niemand praat over voorbehoedsmiddelen of anticonceptie... Wat wel belangrijk is... En ze waren vreemdelingen in het begin... Ze hadden het gesprek wel mogen houden.

Einde was wel afgeraffeld. En ik had ze graag op dates willen zien. Het was te snel om ily te zeggen

I received this book with the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.

In this book we meet Emily Hayes and Ethan Scott. When this book opens we find Emily at a friends bachlorette party. This would have been the day she would have been holding her own if she hadn't caught her fiance cheating with his secretary of all people. She has moved on though and is now the art teacher at Winchester Academy. However on this night she is just looking to have some fun with her friends. That is until this very rude guy believes he can grab her however he wants. When it all ends she is the one thrown out of the bar and the man just stands there looking smug. Leaving there she finds someone she never expected an artist and a man who can read her body like an open book. Ethan has rebelled against most things but the one thing he really wants is this woman coming down the alley to him. He doesn't quite know what is drawing him to her but there is a magnetism that just can't be denied. When they part without names they both are slightly disappointed but fate has other plans for them. Will they find a HEA that neither or them were looking for or will who they are without the stranger title ruin them forever?

This is another amazingly hot book from this author. It does have its ups and downs I really want to tell you about. However I don't want to ruin the story for any other readers. I will say this book will have you hooked from the first word to the very end. This will be one of those books you will want to lock the door, send the kids away and not sleep till you read those two words "the end". I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.
