If your boyfriend doesn't make you orgasm from a couple licks of your nipples, and then pray the Our Father, with the God's name replaced, of course, in the aftermath of your bliss, do yourself a favor... dump him. You deserve better. 😌

Teddy, the comedy king, can burst into my class any time of the day and convert me to an unapologetic truant right in front of my groupmates. 👉🏻👈🏻

“Mr. Xavier,” calls the professor, signaling for the class to quiet down. “To what do we owe the honor of your illustrious presence?”
He wets his bottom lip, those eyes never leaving me once. “Just here to pick up my girl,” he explains in that deep, rich voice. “We have plans.”


I'm even willing to make a sacrifice and become so light that when he

drops down beside me. Hard. All of his weight lands on the spot to my left and I go flying, catapulted straight into the air.


If he has a thing for Mary Poppins' flying scenes, who am I to deny this mountain of a man anything?

I just know for a fact that with someone like Mr. Xavier, I'll finally be able to control my anger issues.


Then he plants his hands on either side of me, bracing himself, breathing hard. Erratically. “Teddy—”
“Punch me in the face.”
“What?”
“Punch me. Hard. Make me suffer for what I did before you.”


Get yourself a guy who will volunteer to be your punching bag. 🥺

And IF HIS EYES DON'T TURN COMPLETELY DEAD 💀 AT YOUR REJECTION, THINK AGAIN, LADIES! Do you need such a man in your life? Miss Jessa Kane upped the bar here, as she should, queen.

The finest (or is it the funniest) piece of literature for sophisticated girls like us 💅🏻 that includes

-animalistic hero, possessed by seven devils in hell 👅
- mini Mary Poppins, raised by a nun 👁️👁️
-serious, healthy approach to tackling suicide problem and anger issues 🤚🏻

I've never been so inspired to live this life like I am at the moment. 😌

***5 STARS***

This is my favorite book by Jessa Kane so far. I could read Teddy and Iris’ story over and over. I just wish the book was longer.

I’ve never been a big fan of college/new adult romance books but this one was oh so good. The connection between Teddy and Iris was white hot intensity and the passion was page burning hot. Talk about possessive….Teddy was insanely obsessed and I loved it.

Iris has been asked to tutor the college star quarterback for a test he must pass to play in the championship game. From the moment Teddy lays eyes on Iris his caveman instinct kicks in and he claims her immediately. I loved how they healed each other emotionally and I couldn’t get over the sex scenes. Mind-blowing, explosive, passionate, intense, smutty and more adjectives I just can’t come up with right now.

I highly recommend this novella.

As many of you may know by now, when I rate a JK novella it’s on another playing field. Her books have a completely different rating system to everything else I read so when I give this 5 stars I actually mean it’s horrible, but at the same time good by JK standards.

Where tf do I start off 😂 first we have our hero, who I’m supposed to believe is this hardass, alpha male, but with the name Teddy . He’s a senior in college and may potentially miss his championship game because he’s failing history. This is why he hires a tutor, Iris (h), to help him get through the class.

Iris is a virgin, orphan girl that hasn’t been touched, in any way, by another human being since she was 15 years old. So when she meets Teddy, she’s pretty much open-mouthed drooling over him, but don’t worry…it’s mutual 🥰

No like literally, this girl is fucking STARVING for any human touch, it’s hilarious—
I break off on a moan when his hand lifts to cradle the side of my face. His palm touches my bare skin and…and every nerve ending in my body screams in delight. Screams.

—BITCH ALL HE DID WAS TOUCH YOUR CHEEK WHY ARE YOU MOANING


The hero is all like ‘awww she’s nervous “don’t worry we’ll take this slow”’



“Good girl. Call for me…Call for your man.”


Okay now this is where this shit takes a turn for the comedic side. After Teddy moves Iris in his apartment, literally after the very first meeting, he wakes up to find Iris gone. Turns out she was just in class, but he went ballistic before he realized that. He goes to Iris’s class and physically drags her out of it and corners her in the hallway and starts asking Iris is she thinks less of him because of all the women he fucked before knowing her. This guy is so fucking dramatic I can’t—

“Punch me in the face.”
“What?”
“Punch me. Hard. Make me suffer for what I did before you.”


—LITERALLY RELAX MY GUY NO ONE IS UPSET


Now, Iris had an ultimatum for Teddy. She wouldn’t have sex with him unless he passes his history class. During their “planning” process for the fucking that may happen, Iris brings up getting on birth control because Teddy refuses to wrap up for her.

His response?

“No…I have the means to take care of you, Iris. And a baby. This time next year, I’ll have been drafted. I’ll provide for you. Our family.”

—you have known each other for 1 day 😭😭😭


The most unbelievable part about this novella is that he somehow passed the exam. Their study sessions consisted of him giving her oral while talking about the Byzantine Empire. Now THAT’S what I call foreplay 🥵🥵🥵

Now c’mon, the dirty talk was A1 as usual. Nothing like being told you’ll be fucked like a swinging barn door 😍

“You were scared. But now that you’ve gotten a little preview, you want to get banged like a barn door in a storm, is that right?”


Nothing screams love when the hero tells an 18 year old college student he met days ago that he’s not going to pull out or wrap up while he’s fucking her brains out 😍😍

“Bought condoms because I wanted to respect your wishes, but I threw them out this morning, Iris. It was never going to happen.” His grips my throat tighter. “You were born to take my fucking sperm.”




There’s 3 parts to every JK novella:
1. Virgin heroine
2. Psychopathic hero
3. Daddy kink

Listen 1 and 2 are fine, but 3…3 is where I stop you, but yanno what…it was kinda spicy ngl—

“Take it like a good little girl,” I growl in her ear. “Cover it in that sweet fucking come, then get on your knees and lick it off for Daddy.”

—okay so maybe daddy kink isn’t sooo bad




Now, we’re into the final stretch, they’re about to ride off into the sunset together…EXCEPT the hero done fucked up 😂 he told his teammates that Iris didn’t mean anything to him so they wouldn’t become curious about her. When one of his jealous teammates tells her this...she runs off after the championship game.

GIVE ME A MINUTE TO COLLECT MYSELF CAUSE READING THESE LAST PAGES AGAIN HAS ME WHEEZING

When Iris’s security (yes he got a security team for her) tells Teddy that Iris ran off cause she found out what he said…

That’s the final blow.
I drop down to my knees, pitch forward and lose the contents of my stomach.


IM OUT HAHAHAHAHAH

AND THEN IT GETS EVEN FUCKING BETTER. When Teddy finds Iris, he explains he didn't mean what he said and tells her that she can’t leave him because she’s going to marry him. When she says she won't…

GUYS PLEASE-

He stands up, turns, and walks straight into the ocean.




I HAVE ACTUAL TEARS IN MY EYES THIS MAN LITERALLY TRIES TO COMMIT SUICIDE PLEASE

AND WHEN SHE FINALLY PULLS HIM PUT OF THE WATER AFTER HE'S DROWNED, INSTEAD OF GIVING HIM CPR, SHE YELLS THAT SHE LOVES HIM AND HE COMES BACK TO LIFE

Those words are like shock paddles to my comatose boyfriend.


I TRULY WISH I WAS MAKING THIS UP BUT GODDAMN JK KNOWS HOW TO CRACK ME TF UP

And then they fuck the night away as if he didn't just die…THE END.

2.5 smutty ✨unhinged✨ stars

i've read more than my fair share of jk books. i've loved some, hated others, all of them ridiculous. but none..... none! has been as ridiculous as this.


The hero has some major dependency problems, the heroine is nerdy but hot— ugh, you know how it goes.

This is the most bored I've been reading JK— queen let me down! 😫 the Daddy kink on this just did not fit. At all. This story was a little too much but still wasn't giving enough. 💔

If you’re looking for straight up porn on paper this is it. But be prepared for manipulation and controlling behaviour to neanderthal extreme to go along with it. I’m not going to rate this because even though I skimmed parts, I still can’t believe what the fuck I just read.

This book was like some sort of spiritual awakening- I'll never be the same after reading it, pls 💀✋.

JESSA KANE YOU'RE PAYING FOR MY THERAPY BILL, I'VE HAD ENOUGH (but keep them coming though 😗🤌).

This book should be treasured, it was just an absolute masterpiece- this was peak literature at its finest.

No, but when he catapults you across the room 😩😩.

Ok, I'm gonna go cry now.

Star college football player turns unhinged, obsessed, feral simp for his shy, monastery-raised, nerdy, "not like the other girls" Western Civ tutor.

This book had me cackling, wheezing, choking, and crying 🤣💕 (buddy reading with Corvina Q was the cherry on top)

If my man doesn’t want me to slap him for being a previous m@nh0@r…

Then I don’t want him! I want my man to be just as obsessed as Teddy is- and this man is OBSESSED.

Oh Jessa Kane knows how to write OTT Hs that many times make me giggle, but sometimes make me swoon as well.

Teddy’s a star athlete, quarterback of the football team, but he’s failing his history class and needs tutoring ASAP or else he won’t be able to play in the championship game. He gets paired up with a genius, a nerd, Iris. Ever since he lost his father, he’s lost his motivation in a lot of things, and he’s become a delinquent in some aspects. Iris grew up very sheltered, in a Christian School, and she’s unaware of many things, and she wants to be touched, even in affectionate/platonic ways. She doesn’t look like a normal 18 year-old; she’s very meek, shy, and dresses in unflattering clothes. As soon as Teddy meets Iris, he realizes that she’s the one for him, and he’s going to do anything to protect her and then have her.

The length that this man goes to show his devotion and love were 😅👏🏻😂🥰😳😱🙈🙄❤️<<< you see those emojis!!? That’s how I felt lol. He tells her, more than once, to slap him for his past playa ways… if my man doesn’t want me to slap him for being a manhoooooar, then I don’t want him. Annnnd… if he doesn’t hire a full security team every time I go out in public, then does he really love me??? 😂🤡🥺

The spontaneous Os had me 😳🙈😒. They must be nice 😐 lol!!!! Only Jessa Kane would make me believe that this might be a thing. I’m soooo glad Teddy was really good about cleaning up her… um… mess 😉. He’s devoted even in THAT lol. The smexy times were 🔥🥵 and the dirty mouth on this man 🙌🏻 💦.

Have I read better JK books? Yup. This falls in the middle of the pack for me. He’s VERY VERY devoted and ONLY sees her… OBSESSIVE is an UNDERSTATEMENT LOL. And he’s suuuuuper protective in such a swooooony way. I do NOT doubt their HEA.

I love how cute JK’s epilogues are! This one is 5 years into the future 🥰.

“You were scared. But now that you’ve gotten a little preview, you want to get banged like a barn door in a storm, is that right?”



She walks out of the bedroom and I see her immediately, because I’ve been staring at the door for twenty minutes, waiting. Waiting for her. Trying to breathe without her long enough to let her take a shower and put on some clothes. It’s not going well.



He sits up, having gone very still. “Are you saying you’re not going to marry me?”

I can’t answer.

“Right,” he says, the light going out of him. Like a candle being doused.

He stands up, turns, and walks straight into the ocean. Several seconds pass and he doesn’t come up.

**1/5 stars** DNF 14%

The story had potential, and I know it's a novella and things usually happen very quickly but this was borderline ridiculous. I wanted to like this, because the plot is a trope that I love: A girl who is super shy, and a guy who is super protective/jealous/possessive only for the girl
But it didn't make any sense.




I really can't read this. It's like this book is just an excuse to have two extremely different characters have sex with each other. No real development, just straight to it. If that's your thing, go for it...To me it was just dry and cringy. Too bad, I wanted to like it, the premise and the reviews all seemed positive. Bummer.

*GOLD*

I can't say I love all of Jessa Kane's books. I'm not sure I could even claim to FINISH half of them 👀... but this one was utter OTT Jealous/Possessive, with a little pinch of dominant "daddy," crazy-town ridiculous goodness. 😅💕

And no one jizzed their pants. 🤷🏼‍♀️



Bottom Line? One of my favorite JK books so far. I think her crazed heros work REALLY well with this college age group. Why not 5-stars? ... I wish she'd explore the kinks a little further... I mean, lets OWN this sh*t. 🤡



⚠️SAFETY SQUAD SPOILERS⚠️

- no cheating or sharing

🧞’When I wake up, she’s gone.
It’s like having a claw hammer buried in my skull.
I dive out of bed with a bellow, clutching at the sheets like I’m going to find her hidden in there. Where the hell did she go? Where the fuck did she go?
The anger has returned with a vengeance in her absence.
I scratch at my chest until blood shows up in angry welts. When she was in my arms, the snakes were kept at bay. Now she’s gone and they’re bigger, more vicious.’

"I’m possessive as fuck over you. I know what it means to be abusive, Iris, and Jesus, everything I want from you fits that bill."

I still stand affirm on my opinion that JK should stick on writing these NA/high school/college-esque characters. Because, this is another winner babyyyyy!!!

Aside from wanting the H getting the psychological help that he desperately needs, this book is another bonkers read. I might've laughed inappropriately at that ending (he needs to get himself a therapist guys).

All in all, exactly what I wanted from JK. Crazy, OTT and stupidly funny (and surprisingly sweet this one time).

Preposterous

What in God’s name am I thinking.
Any bra burning tendencies I had just magically disappeared when Teddy met Iris.
I love him. I love her. I love them.

😂💕
“I purse my lips, trying not to look as shy as I feel. “I’ll need some time with Google first.”
“Fuck Google.” He grips my bottom hard, walks me toward the door. “I’m your search engine, honey, and I run all night.”
💕
“She’s the only peace in this world.”
💕
“I fucking live to make you proud of me. So…” He blows out a shaky breath, then puts his attention back on the textbook. “So I’m not just going to pass, I’m going to get an A. And then I’m going to win the championship, just so I can lay it all at your feet.”

Following the death of his father, Teddy Xavier, star football player and likely NFL draft candidate, has found himself in trouble both in college and with the law. In order to ensure his spot in the upcoming playoff and solidify his pro football future, the dean insists he begin tutoring sessions. What he discovered was more than just hidden academic potential, he found the love of his life in an unlikely girl, the quiet and studious Iris Stirling.

Jessa Kane reads are a go-to for quick and smutty palate cleanser and Tutoring the Delinquent is no exception. Teddy, albeit a bit dramatic, is deliciously OTT and gives good grovel. Their love is instant and all-consuming, their story is just what I needed after a heavy read.
