Franklin High's newest Biology teacher. Good news; he's beautiful to look at. Bad news; he's my new co-teacher. Try talking about the birds and the bees to a class full of fifteen year olds without picturing your co-teacher giving you that chat with a little less clothing and a lot more demonstration. Really bad news; he's the “Andrea” that has answered my seeking roommate ad. Avoiding him in school was impossible, but avoiding him when he walks down the hall to his room in only a towel? Not happening. Really, really bad news; he was my one night stand last month. Not thinking about his anatomy after having it in mine--Hopeless.
Dakota Saddler.
Also known as Dax. Apparently, that's a woman's name because when I walk into the apartment I'm renting a room in, she's there--in her bra and panties--causing a familiar tug at my southern region. Icing on the cake; I get to teach alongside her all day long at work. Piss on my Cheerios; there's a no fraternization policy at Franklin High. When the woman says the word “penis” in front of our class, I'm done for. When the fog clears, I realize I've heard that word drip from her lips before; begging for mine from underneath me last month. Shit. I need a lesson on following the rules, but I can tell from the moment I laid eyes on her, in spite of her good girl facade, Dakota Saddler was always meant to break them with me.
**This is the fifth book in the Saddler Series. It is a standalone but for better reading experience should be read in order**
This book was hot!! Normally all the books from Nicole are hot but this is in a class for itself!
From the beginning of this book, all the chemistry is explosive and it only gets worst throughout the entire book. Nicole really upped her game with this book and had me hooked from the beginning. It is the perfect ending of a beautiful series.
Dakota is the planner, the good girl, she never does anything wrong or she has thought through and planned. But then she meets Andre and phew let me tell you this is one of the hottest heroes I have ever met! He had me all hot and heavy from the beginning and he just kept getting hotter and dirtier for every chapter.
This was a really inspiring story for me to see how if you just meet the right person you will be safe enough to be who you want to be. It showed me how opposite attacks and sometimes that is the best thing that can happen because of the end up balancing each other out.
I love this family and loved every glimpse we got of the people from the other books. But this book didn't have that much of the family in them as the previous book had and that made sense to me since Dakota hasn't been a huge part of the other books since she is the quiet girl in the family. But that does not mean this family doesn't meddle as always. Of course, they do and I love them for it!
The last few chapters of this book were my favorite they had so many amazing moments in them I was all mushy inside all the time. Also, that last page was everything. You guys that have read the entire series will get me when you get to that part when I say that was the perfect ending and the perfect way to connect the family together.
So have you loved any of Nicole's book you will not miss out on this one it is her best one!!
Damn! This was HOT, HOT, HOT!! I know I did this wrong and read the last book in the series before any others, but a teacher romance is my jam, so I knew I had to read this one. And holy shit! It was everything I heard it promised to be. Andre is book boyfriend material, for sure! I love a good bad boy, and he was that and so much more. And I could relate to Dakota on so many levels, being a planner myself. Great read, Nicole! Well done!
Andre Demarco is coming in HOT! Saddler’s Scandal is hands down the steamiest book out of this series.
Dakota Saddler is kind of mystery. Throughout the story we have only gotten little glimpses of her compared to the rest of her siblings so I have been looking forward to her book and seeing more about who she is, besides the youngest Saddler. She is a teacher and definitely very innocent compared to her sisters. At 25 she has worked hard to get where she is in her career and doesn’t want to do anything that could put it in danger. Andre is a teacher, too. Though he is different from Dakota. He is a free spirt, goes wherever the wind takes him, doesn’t stay in one place for long. He is also far from innocent and has no problem with showing that.
The chemistry between Dakota and Andre is EXPLOSIVE. It is off the charts hot from the very first moment they met and I didn’t think it could get any hotter, but it does. I loved the forbidden aspect of their relationship and the fact that Andre would do everything in his power to push all of Dakota’s buttons.
I am sad this is the ending of the Saddler squad but they went out with a bang. Saddler’s Scandal and the rest of the books in this series are MUST READS!
OMG! Just when I think I’ve read my favorite Nicole Rodrigues novel, I realize I haven’t…
This one is my favorite of the series because well, one word-- Andre. He’s a professional by day in his glasses, but once he pulls those babies off, he turns into a bad boy. A bad boy who knows how to talk dirty. And sweet, whatever the occasion calls for.
This is a forbidden romance/enemies to lovers and everyone knows those are my fave. Add in sweet little Dakota Saddler and you’ve got one heck of a chemistry here. Who knew that opposite would attract so perfectly?
Two teachers, thrust together by fate, time after time…cohabitation, teaching and soccer… There’s bound to be sparks flying, right?
This book was hilarious, sexy, steamy, fun, sweet and endearing. I loved the dynamics of both these characters, how they responded to one another, how they learned from each other and adapted to one another. The connection was off the charts--seamless--so much so that this is one of my favorite couples of both Nicole’s series.
If you love a book that leaves you laughing and swoony then don’t miss the finale to the Saddler series. It’s a bittersweet goodbye but sooo worth the wild ride!
Gah I hate endings to series!😭 But mannnn was this an ENDING! You know I never thought Nicole could top Damon and Nico, from the Double Play series, on the hot, sexy, dirty talker but oh my lanta did she with Andre!
I was so excited to finally get Dakota’s story. She has been my little mystery sister throughout the whole series. Only getting little bits and pieces of her. So to get inside her head, I just loved it and her! Loved how driven she is with her career. But to see her after she meets Andre, that was a side of her that I was not expecting but I enjoyed reading it.
Andre is your typical tattoo’d bad boy. He also had his fair share of surprises too😉. When he meets Dakota, something about her makes him want to stick around. Then to come to find out they are going to be working along side one another, man does he have fun with that. But I think what I loved the most about him is the person he ended up turning into with Dakota in his life. The banter between the two of them has got to be some of my favorite things with this book!
I am so sad to see the end to the Saddler clan, but with these two ending it out, I am happy with that. But we all know how Nicole is, she might have a few surprises up her sleeve.
Saddler’s Scandal (Saddler Series #5) is the last book in the series and follows the youngest sibling Dakota. I’ve been intrigued by Dakota as we really haven’t gotten to know her very much in this series. She’s a teacher and the most straight laced of the Saddler siblings but that’s all we really know about her when we start this book. Dakota isn’t the type to have a one night stand...until she does. And then fate pays her back by having her one night stand, Andre, turn out to be her co-teacher and roommate. What follows is this wonderful opposites attract/roommates with benefits/forbidden workplace romance with this delicious push and pull of who will fall first. Andre and Dakota (or Dre and Dax in the bedroom) are H-O-T! This book is steamy beyond belief, a lot dirty and a little just straight up naughty. SO DAMN GOOD! Andre is a dirty talking, tattooed & pierced alpha in the bedroom and Dakota is finally able to let her dirty girl side out. These two together are explosive (I might have blushed a few times). But the question remains...is Dre going to settle down and is Dakota willing to break a few rules herself? I love this series. I feel like the Saddler siblings are family. We have seen each sibling struggle though heartache, tragedy, loss, and betrayal. But we have also seen them triumph through reconciliation, second chances, love, marriage and kids. I’m sad to see them go. This series is honestly so perfect and Nicole gives us such a perfect ending to this series that I ended this book with tears in my eyes. Go read the entire series ASAP and work your way up to the unbridled sexiness and combustible chemistry of Dre & Dax, you won’t regret it at all. I might have re-read a few scenes repeatedly already...and they get hotter each time. 5+ stars for Saddler’s Scandal! I received an ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.
The last Saddler is here, and I seriously think Nicole Rodrigues saved the best Saddler story for last. I didn’t think anybody could top Elijah Saddler for me, but then she gives us Andre and he swooped in and knocked Elijah out of the top spot.
Dakota Saddler is the youngest of the Saddler kids. She’s thrives on plans and structure. She doesn’t make rash decisions. Everything has a time and place for her. But then she meets Andre Demarco, and he throws her best laid plans right out the window.
Andre isn’t known for sticking around. He’s all about having a good time, and not staying in one place for too long. But there is something about Dakota that hits him funny. When the two become roommates, thanks to a little family meddling, he thrives on pushing Dakota out of her comfort zone. The two are complete opposites, but you know what they say, opposites attract. When push comes to shove can Dakota let herself be reckless, and will Andre actually stick around?
I just started reading Nicole Rodrigues books’ last year, and I swear she gets better with every single book she writes. From the start this book drew me in, and I couldn’t put it down. I needed to know what was going to happen with Andre and Dakota. She’s created this world with the Saddler family that you can’t help but feel apart of. When I read any book in this series, it’s almost like I’m surrounded by family. Each and every character has something about them that is so relatable, and Nicole writes in such a way that she evokes such emotion from the reader. Absolutely amazing story, and while I’m sad to see the Saddler family stories coming to an end, I don’t know that I could have asked for a better ending.
This books is seriously good!!! I loved everything about it. The story is entertaining, fun, sexy and full of swoon moments. The main and secondary characters were wonderful and absolutely everything in this book was PERFECTION!! I couldn’t put the book down once I started. Andre was the bad boy Dakota never thought she need it in life and Dakota was this inexperienced and sweet woman he never thought he’ll settle for. Dakota had her life plan, as a teacher she has always work hard, never having the time to “just let go and have fun”. Everything changes one night when she mets this sexy and hot guy. Andre is a carefree spirit that is not afraid of taking chances. He has never considered settling down but when he mets Dakota everything changes. Their chemistry and OH SO HOT interactions are so so good. Nicole Rodriguez did an excellent job with this story and now I need to catch up with the other saddler’s siblings. I think this book was the perfect ending for this series and it’s definitely a must read.
Nicole Rodrigues’ Saddler’s Scandal was HOT AF!!!! I was lucky enough that Nicole asked if I wanted an eARC of the 5th and final book in her Saddler’s Series and I said, “yes please” even though I hadn’t read any of the other books but damn do I want to read them now because Saddler’s Scandal was amazeballs!
5 ⭐️’s
Mr. Andre “Dick Me Down” DeMarco and Ms. Dakota“Secretly a Sexy Siren” Saddler will make you so hot for teacher it ain’t even funny!
Dakota “Dax” Saddler thinks she’s boring and loves her rules and routines but she is the very definition of “lady in the streets a freak in the sheets.” She is every naughty teacher fantasy come to life! Andre “Dre” DeMarco is like the hot version of Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde. Once those glasses come off and those shirt sleeves are rolled up, get ready to have your MIND BLOWN! I FLOVED; f*cking loved, these two! Their chemistry, their banter, and their personalities! You will laugh, you will need to Fam yourself and/or go release some tension, and you will be swoon and sigh! Looking for an insanely hot and hysterical read? Look no further! This may be book 5 in a series but you won’t feel like you missed anything when you read this. You will however want to read Everyone else’s book!
When I think of Andre and Dakota...one word describe them best. HOT. Just when I thought it couldn’t get any hotter, it does. She’s a rule following, list making, uptight girl. He’s a free spirit, tattooed up, fun loving guy. Dakota just wants one night to let her freak flag fly. Just one, one night stand, as a big middle finger to her ex. Little does she know this particular one night stand is about to become her roommate and co teacher. The chemistry between these two made me want to stop everything I wanna as doing for one more chapter. I loved every page, every paragraph, every word of this book. Their story didn’t need any superfluous drama to fill the pages or hook readers...although I do love drama, I’m just saying, their story was enough. Standing O Nicole Rodriges!!! This book is another home run!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Where to even begin... The fifth book in the Saddler Series was amazing! Dakota Saddler isn't like the rest of her siblings. She's more reserved, at least on the outside. When Dax meets Andre Demarco and throws caution to the wind, her whole life changes, he brings something out in here she had no idea was hiding, but she does the same for him. The calm to his storm and he's the chaos to her control. They seem like total opposites, but Nicole writes them in such a way all you see are how perfectly they fit together. Getting to catch up with the ever-growing Saddler squad is always a fav of mine, and this book delivers glimpses of each of my past favorites. The ending of this book was perfect, and I will always have a soft spot in my heart for the Saddler's. If you haven't read this series yet and love sassy woman, alpha men and hearts filled with so much love for their families, start with Saddler's Secret and hang on for a sexy, funny, and heartwarming ride!
Saddler’s Scandal is a forbidden romance / enemies to lovers story that will set your kindle/book on fire and leave you needing a cold shower 🚿😂. While opposites on paper the chemistry between these two is explosive, sexy and downright dirty. But is this enough to ground the free spirited Andre and for them to plant some permanent roots together (guess you need to read to find out 😉). For me the story sizzled from the start and progressed perfectly. It had hilarious push and pull banter, perfect secondary characters, steamy chemistry, plenty of dirty talking, angst, the perfect HEA and an Epilogue that was perfection for the series finale. Reading this book was bittersweet. While it was the final book in the Saddlers series the journey to get here and finish with this book was beyond worth it.
This story was so original and refreshing! Dakota can crack the whip in the classroom and Andre cracks it in the bedroom. Andre is like the Clark-Kent-Super-sex-god-alpha hero (that's part of the romance world nomenclature, right?)-- all nerdy, sweet, gentleman with his glasses on and with his glasses off you're suddenly his sex slave wearing only black heels. The man is magic.
Dakota is a woman I can relate to! She puts her career first and takes her job as a teacher very seriously, but there's a pent-up sex kitten that's waiting for the right man to unleash her.
It's one of the best examples of dirty talk I have EVER read. And the ending had me laughing and swooning and OMGing all at the same time. Definite must-read!
Andre....oh, Andre...my fucking heart. One of the things I seriously love about the Saddler's is they're love and devotion for each other. But what I love seeing the most is how protective and caring they are. While yes, this is the HOTTEST FUCKING BOOK OF ALL. It is also one of my faves. Because I love how Andre is with Dax. These two were made to break Every. Dam. Rule. In. The. Rule. Book!
If you want a steamy as fuck book, look no further. Because I tell you right now, Andre WILL have you panting and calling him "Dre".😈
This is the first book I've read by this author. I must say I was drawn immediately to Andre Demarco and Dakota Saddler's story. Their story falls into the two categories Enemies to Lovers and Forbidden Romance... which I do love....so a threw caution to the wind and I loved it!
Andre a teacher his sexy glasses, but once he pulls them off, you have bad boy Demarco. Dakota lives on plans and structure. She doesn’t take risks or makes rash decisions.
This book is funny, sweet, sexy, HOT AF, and shows great friendship and family values.
Wow this was such a wonderful story, i loved everything about it, the rollercoaster of emotions, laughter, tears and panty dropping moment's! was worth every second of reaching the end to this wonderful Saddler family series! So much so i have claimed Andre as my book Husband! 😂 i have a certificate and I'm not sharing haha. Nicole thank you for writing such an amazing book series, your way of telling a story is so inspiring and had me hooked from the very first page! ❤
I really loved the last installment of the series. I found Dakota's and Andre's chemistry undeniable and I loved how they changed each other. I am sad to see the series end but I think it found the perfect ending.
