Maddie isn’t looking to be saved. She knows the only person you can count on is yourself. Her moral compass might not point true north these days - but at least she’s still standing. The military taught Tyler about loyalty. Being there for your brothers is the only thing that matters - but when it mattered most, he wasn’t.

Story
Growing up, it was always the three of us. Me, my twin brother, Kyle, and our best friend, Aiden. We were inseparable all the way through high school. Did I picture myself with Aiden from the first moment I laid eyes on him back when we were eight? Hell. Yes. I fell in love with his soul that day. But he was always more Kyle’s friend than mine. And Kyle made damn sure we both know the rules. I was strictly off limits. Forever. But now, Kyle is gone. Dead from a freak accident. And Aiden is still here.

He helped her with her French, walked her home from school, and faked his test scores just to stay with her a little longer and not be sent off to college early. But eventually he had to move on. And so did she. Never has a second chance meant so much to a boy who loves a girl.

She's any filthy-minded rebel's one-night-stand erotic dream. If you don't mind her bad attitude and lack of…luster. Not quite the obedient girl Serpint was craving.

I'm Lincoln Wade. Jaded genius, obscenely wealthy, capable of violence, and looking for revenge. Molly Masters might have delusions of grandeur. She might see me as some superman capable of cleaning up the scum, filth, and corruption in Cathedral City. But I'm not the hero she's looking for. I'm the dark alley where all her good intentions hide. So be careful what you wish for, Molly Masters. Because you're about to get it.

Thirteen years before Emma Dumas bought me in a bachelor auction to teach me a lesson, she stole my heart down on Key West. I fell so hard for this girl, I made all the promises. Only with Emma, I really meant them. And then I disappeared. But it wasn’t my fault. Let’s just call my reason “Family Business”. I’d tell you what that business is, but then I’d have to kill you. Just kidding. I can’t tell you what my family business is because it’s so secret, even I don’t know.

I’m a hot-as-eff, inked-up tattoo artist at the trendiest shop in the Rocky Mountains. I have the looks; I have the bike; I have the reputation. That means I get the ladies. Sure. There are lots of women out there who hate tattoos. Wouldn’t be caught dead with guys like me. And that’s fine. I’m not looking for girls like that. I’m looking for that other kind of girl. The hot one, the bad one, the crazy one. Funny thing is...the one I fell for isn’t that girl. She’s the good girl.

When I answered an ad for a caretaker at Saint Mark’s Sanctuary, I thought I’d be dusting chandeliers and polishing floors. I didn’t expect to be tricked into a curse, going into debt to a monster, and being forced to take a self-paced “let’s learn magic” course so I can fix a 2,000-year-old problem. And that monster? Not your ordinary, everyday beast. He has hooves, and horns, and fur on his legs. But you know where he doesn’t have fur? Yeah. There. Which is fine. Except he doesn’t wear pants.

They said write what you know so that's what I did. I wrote dirty, I wrote erotic, I wrote the truth. And then they called me a liar. But it's not me who's lying, it's them. Our story isn't for everyone. It's not even for us. So if you're looking for the fairy tale and the stupid prince on his dumb white horse, move along. You've got a hold of the wrong book. This is not your story, this is not your life, and this is not your opportunity to dip your frightened little toe into the dark pool of water and "try new things" and then pull it out and decide... #NotForMe.

But the choice has never been hers.

Publisher's summary
Eighteen is hard. And so is Mateo Alesci. Hard to read, hard to predict, hard in every way that counts.
He wants things from me. Dirty things, nasty things, forbidden things. And I have to give in. His attention is completely inappropriate, but I can't say no. The way he looks at me...the way he watches me through my bedroom window...the way he drags me deeper and deeper into his completely forbidden fantasy just...turns me on. He knows it turns me on. He holds all the power. He holds all the cards. He holds my entire future in his hands.
And I have to give in. Because Mr. Alesci is my teacher. And I need everything he's offering.

18 HOT Star’s
There have been a hand full of books I wished I could give more than a 5 star rating. This is one of them so I give it 18 Star’s yep. This book blew my mind, in the most delicious of ways.
Shannon, needs credits to graduate. You have to wonder what the hell is going on in the school system for them to miss she needed some important credits. Even if she technically had more then they needed over all.
So back to school for more credits! And this is where her life is never going to be the same again.
Enter HOT AF Teacher.. Mr. Alesci, aka Mateo. In my head I call him Mr. Hottie. What I can’t help it. The first few chapters you are going to be sucked in to this mysterious yummy man.
The heat these two generate leaps in to your ears and sinks in to your brain.
There are parts of Shannon’s life I wish I could kick for her.. Like her brother in-law. But I don’t want to get into all that, you need to experience that yourself and come up with your own opinions. Her niece though to cute.
Back to Mr. Hottie did I mention he lives’ across the street from her? I didn’t well think of the possibilities this holds, and he like to bring out her naughty girl side. So let’s just take a sec and fan our self.. .HOT, HOT, HOT.. HOOOOTTT.
‘But I smile. Even though he creeps me out, he does it in all the right ways.’
‘I’ll probably regret that soon. I usually do.’ – Shannon
Yeah these little tid bits have stuck with me, so I had to share.
Worth the credit HECK yes!
I loved Ava Erickson performance so hard in this book. There isn’t one thing I wished was different. Defiantly a narrator I will buy from again.

Yes, Mr. Alesci
Any additional comments?
This book rocked! Seriously. So,where should I begin?
~I need more. A HEA story of Mateo, Shannon, and Olivia. You know, the cute stuff you do for the hot men in your life. We got short stories for Ford and Spencer. I need another for Mateo.
~For the love of Christ, I want more Sunday! He was perfect! Have you ever written a more perfect male character? Yeah, he was a small time drug dealer, but he was kind and considerate and awesomesauce. Give that man a book.
~W.T.F?
~I secretly wished he really had snuck in and did dirty, dirty things to Shannon. Does that make me sick? *shrugs

Most ridiculous story I've ever read
If you're reading this just for the smut, then sure, it's erotic in parts. But the story itself is based on one of the most ridiculous premises ever conceived. I listened to this in the car and at one point I shouted "Oh my God, you've GOT to be kidding me!" In what alternate universe, exactly, would any of these scenarios happen, even a little bit? So, young student falls for hot teacher 10 years her senior who, with no preamble whatsoever, engages her in a dominant-submissive sexual relationship (a la 50 shades of gray) which she loves yet hates. He's at once overbearing, overprotective, controlling, sketchy, romantic, and head over heels for an 18 year old girl. He has a secret life that blindsides her, yet there's absolutely no explanation of or resolution to this giant lie he's been living the entire time. They break rules and laws, yet everyone is totally ok with it, even the Principal/school administrator. What the actual ___? At every turn, it was mind-blowing ridiculous. I finished it because it was a free read. Had I paid for it, I would have immediately returned it.

I'm quite sad I didn't like it
Any additional comments?
So for me, this was a difficult read. I can't say that I enjoyed it.
There is absolutely no romance here. So if you're after a forbidden love/taboo romance, there's a lot of sex here, written in explicit detail....but very little chemistry or romance to justify the risks the two main characters take.
I truly dislike the heroine in this book. She was blind to everything else but her own sorry self. And even then, her awareness was murky at best.

What A Story!
Would you consider the audio edition of Eighteen (18) to be better than the print version?
I think this is a bogus question. It is the story that determines how good or bad the experience is. This story is captivating. It is captivating to read and it is captivating to listen. I can't say one is better than the other because they both fill a need. I have not purchased one audio until I read the story. I like to have my imagination create the scenes in my head. This audio edition of Eighteen helps me tweak my imaginary world and understand the characters and events more clearly.
What other book might you compare Eighteen (18) to and why?
I don't think I can compare Eighteen, or any of JA Huss' stories to any others I've read. It is her unique vision and storytelling skills that make me buy her books. This is a good coming of age story but even narrowing the focus to that genre, the story is one-of-a-kind.
Have you listened to any of Ava Erickson’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
This is the first time I've heard Ava Erickson but I will look for other audio books that she narrates. She did an excellent job bringing Shannon Drake to life.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I felt Shannon's pain and loss several times. A young girl who lost her family and often didn't know who to trust. I hurt with her and I felt her betrayal.
Any additional comments?
This is an excellent audiobook with a great story. It is well worth getting and, if you are like me, you will listen to it more than once.

JA Huss is on point!
Yet another slam audio-dunk for JA Huss. A teacher/student story that was so gripping and enthralling, I had to stay up late just to finish. The story never slowed, the pace was absolutely perfect.
Ava Erickson was a fantastic narrator in this book, she was able to pull off the male character voices and have a different tone for each person.

Pass on this one
I have a dozen JA Huss books in my library currently. This was the 13th and so maybe that was my unlucky number?. This is the only one that I am disappointed in and didn't want to finish. The story just isn't good. It doesn't grab you and make you want to listen to it at all -- I just didn't believe the characters in the story this time. I read through others opinions on books and I am perplexed on how so many reviewed this as a good book? Ava Erickson did a great job reading what she had to work with so that was a plus but, I honestly wouldn't use your credits on this one. There are SO MANY other JA Huss books that are better. If you haven't yet read her Turning Point books I'd highly recommend those! :)

cheap poorly written version of 50 shades of grey
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Absolutely not.
What was most disappointing about JA Huss’s story?
The entire book was disappointing. It's difficult to pull one part versus the next. It just didn't totally make sense and wasn't very believable especially the part where he is an undercover agent, but yet he is having sex with a student in his classroom not to mention oral sex and whatever else they could get into. That was the most unbelievable part. I guess you just hope that someone in law enforcement would have better ethical standards. I think the author would have been better off had she left out "based on a true story" on the front cover.
Did Ava Erickson do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?
I actually do think that Ava did a good job with narration. Her voice was easy to listen to and her voices flowed easily between characters.
Could you see Eighteen (18) being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
Ugh... I hope not.
Any additional comments?
I was hoping for chemistry like I had with the Gabriel's inferno series as its a similar theme of student/teacher, but this one I found to be bizarre and a little raunchy not to mention I felt that there were many, many loose ends that you are left wondering about. Like he is working for the police and yet he is having sexual relations with his student in his classroom? How did he get all his money being that he is a teacher and undercover agent?
Reminded me of a cheap version of 50 shades of grey. If you can't tell, 3 is obviously the high side of my review.

Some inconsistencies
Very, very hot but the second time around I picked up on a few rough edges that should have been cleaned up by an editor of no one else. Otherwise, a great story.
I had tears in my eyes as she described the cramping stomach as she starved, and the elicit sex scenes never repeated themselves. When the plot started to thicken, the sex scenes petered out altogether. I like that.
Ava did a good job but I often had difficulty differentiating between the characters' thoughts and dialogue. Otherwise, a very good job.

Good Narration but the story.....
it just wasn't my thing. I never really felt the love between the 2 main characters until the very end

Fantastic!
Eighteen has everything I love in a romance and more. Matteo is as sexy as they come, and Shannon with her sassy mouth was a joy to read. This well written coming of age storyline has sex and drugs, angst and loss, and a teenager who’s just trying to find her way in the world. It’s brilliant and Ava Erickson being the amazing narrator she is, brought the story to life! I highly recommend it.

good read
good read when I first started reading this book I thought it was going to be just a quick romance and not much background to it but it turned out not to be and I didn't suspect that surprise twist would recommend

Disturbing but worth the journey
Some touchy topics here but as it's based on some true events it has so much more impact.
Although a taboo subject and some hot scenes the book is much more than the scandal and more about how Shannon deals with life.
Great characters loved Sunday - top bloke.

I’m far from a young adult but I remember it well! GRIN. Shannon’s story may be part true story part fiction but it’s a whole lot gritty, sexy and as always, well written. Open the door to 18 (again) Enjoy !

Loved this story!
I really loved this story and the characters. I didn't know how things would work out or how I wanted them to work out. I could really relate to and feel for the main female character, Danny too and even Matteo. I would definitely recommend, thank you x.

A sexy coming of age tale
I loved the mix of romance and real life (and sex) in this book. It captured the raw emotion of being a young adult and navigating that world that I remember from my own experiences.

A good mix of sad, sass, sex and learning about life...

first book by this author
First up this is just a book and we read book to escape. It pays not to think too much about the story line, otherwise it can be very disturbing. Having said that, I enjoyed it. Narration was fine. JA Huss speaking at the end of the book was interesting.

Story
Growing up, it was always the three of us. Me, my twin brother, Kyle, and our best friend, Aiden. We were inseparable all the way through high school. Did I picture myself with Aiden from the first moment I laid eyes on him back when we were eight? Hell. Yes. I fell in love with his soul that day. But he was always more Kyle’s friend than mine. And Kyle made damn sure we both know the rules. I was strictly off limits. Forever. But now, Kyle is gone. Dead from a freak accident. And Aiden is still here.
