Barely

Winchester Academy #7

by Madison Faye

Off limits, forbidden, twenty years my junior…
And in way over her head.
She needs saving. I need to keep away.
But one taste of those sweet, innocent lips, and I’ll fight like hell to keep her safe.

I had no business looking at her like that. No business wanting her, craving her—the caveman in me roaring to claim and take.

Of course, that was before I realized who the girl in the mask grinding on my lap was.

Her name is Brynn Henley. She’s eighteen—barely—and one of my students at the private high school where I’m Principal. She’s out-of-bounds, but then, she’s also out of time and out of choices.

Some bad, bad people want her for themselves. They want to take her from me, and hurt her, all to settle a debt to the mob her father owes.

…They’re going to have to come through me first.

I have no business with a girl like her. Too innocent, too untouched, too barely legal. But I’ve had a taste, and now, I’ll have the rest.

This forbidden heat could engulf and burn us both. But the mob made a mistake. They came after what’s mine.

…And nothing is going to take her away from me.

[Reading with Robin · Rating 4 out of 5]

I don't usually review books that are obviously meant for smut purposes.
I mean, it's not like there is any detailed characterization analysis I am able to do when it's practically just porn with the half-assed put together plot to tie together with semi-okay-repetitive written sex scenes, and the characters are usually just straight up porn actors with only 1 kind of personality

There is usually only one reason why I review smut books(as I like to call it): to get into the hype.
When my feed is flooded with a famous smut book, I will definitely review it, just to put in my two cents into what I thought of it.

Today, I found another reason to write a review for these kinds of books: PERFECT SMUT.
HOW IS IT THAT MY FEED NEVER TALKED ABOUT THIS AMAZING AUTHOR WITH HER AMAZING SMUT BOOKS???
This book is my first book from this author, and I didn't even realize this was a smut book till I'm a quarter in.
That's how good the author is, she gives you a decent enough plot that your head wouldn't explode at the stupidness/flatness of the story, there is even some depth to it.

The characters, despite having an OTT Alpha Hero, there are some pushing away coming from the H, this gives me the resemblance, or even, illusion, that I am not just reading a filthy smut book entirely, but a romance book that just happens to have a lot of sex.
Also the DIRTY TALK, oh my lord, i need some holy water, i am DRENCHED.

The sex scenes are just


It's definitely different from other smut books i have read, and i have READ a lot etc Katee Roberts, Alexa reilly ,Jesse Kane...
And this author's sex scenes can top all of these author, NO LIE.
I am probably going to rate the other books, but I won't put up a review, because as good as the book is, there isn't much analysis to do in the review, unless one of the books really jars me.

4 stars! as usual, Madison Faye's books are hot 🔥 🔥
the age gap here is 20 years and there's a tiny bit of action going on. light and easy read overall!

[Darlene I read WAY to many books · Rating 4 out of 5]

The last? Book for the Winchester series!!!! And we got forbidden and some mob tossed into it.

Bryann has been keeping a secret... her folks have abandoned her, dad stole money and ran away and step mom "ran away" so now she had no money and living on campus not bad until she finds out her dad also stole from the mob and they came to collect.. now she working at a strip club trying to pay them back.. her first private lapdance and she gets a shock of her life when she sees its Principal Kane.

Colton was mezerislzed by the dancer and when he got close he notices who it was.. when things hit the fan he's there to help and protect Brynn from those who try to hurt her.. and he's also fighting the temptation of his girl in his house.. and believe me it doesn't take long for him to give in ;)

Welp. That was exactly what it looks like. 🤡😅

Another sinfully steamy book by Madison Faye!

Here we’ve got my secret no.1 taboo - a big age gap. Colton is the headmaster of a Winchester Academy and is 38. Brynn is a senior and is 18.

He knows Brynn as one of his students but the book opens up with him meeting her under seedy circumstances. Turns out Brynn’s got major family trouble and Colton immediately jumps in to protect her. In fact, he wants to keep her real close. He knows he shouldn’t, but he can’t help himself. And Brynn is in legit trouble.

These two were hot af! All the pushing and pulling and then the surrendering to their lust was suuuuper hot. Man, what a dominant alpha and a heroine whose all kinds of dirty.

It’s totally OTP but I loved it. Lots of sex, suspense, mafia issues, bad guys and stuff. Crazy ride but totally enjoyable if you check yourself at the door and simply enjoy this for what it is... a smutty taboo romance!

[Alison · Rating 4 out of 5]

I liked this one much better than the last Madison Faye I read. I’m quickly learning these are less plot and more smut, not that that’s a bad thing. I just have to be in the right move. You never know with me. Sometimes I need that slow burn and sometimes I need them to get down, dirty, and nasty quick.

I really liked Colton and liked that he put up SOME resistance to getting involved with Brynn. Even if it was minor. Something I would probably re-read if I wanted some dirty talking schoolgirl smut.

Alright what the heck!

This one was the absolute winner for me.

Colton and Brynn..



Just so goddamn sweet I wanted to cry. See, this right here is why reality is ruined and any semblance of normalcy has been obliterated for me.



The GQ worthy Principal.. And then he is so OTT sweet and perfect.. And oh how he rescues the damsel in utter distress?
Gahh!



What will I do with my life, this was the last book in the series.

[Ashley Carr, LSoR · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have been anticipating Principal Kane’s book from the first book of the series and it was worth the wait!! We can see Colton’s protective nature throughout the whole series and that he would do anything for his students but he takes it a little far with Brynn in the most delicious way possible. Brynn has had a privileged upbringing so far until the rug is pulled out from under her during her senior year. Left horribly up the creek without a paddle by her father Brynn turns to almost doing a horrible thing to settle her father’s debt but Colton steps in. That begins their torrid affair that almost made my kindle combust. Their chemistry is so explosive and they are just so sweet together I was alternately fanning myself and getting a toothache. The ending is fantastic and ties up all of the loose strings together for this book. I can’t wait to see what this author has in store for us next!!

i couldn't tell you what i just read...

[April Symes · Rating 4 out of 5]

Sizzling Hot!! Barely by Madison Faye is taboolicious! Full of feels, action and forbidden principal/ student romance. It's the kind of read that has you enthralled from the start- Principal Colton and student Brynn- they are characters who have you rooting for them and draw into their story. Without giving spoilers away - their chemistry is intense and the heat that spills into the pages is red-hot. Get ready for drama, angst, twists, forbidden love, age-gap, older man/younger woman // principal/student... it's the end of the series and it definitely goes out on a bang. Love the characters and the plot. Would have liked more than the HFN ending(just my opinion)..would have liked more of a HEA ending but overall fabulous story...i


My Rating: 4.5 stars ******

[Sassy Angel · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is another fantastic story! I loved every minute of it. I couldn't put it down.

Brynn has been having a rough couple of weeks. Her father is in trouble with the law and has disappeared. She now has has to strip because of a debt her father has with the mob. Colton is the principal at Winchester Academy when he is his surprised to see one of his students at a strip club one night. He takes her back to his house to figure out what is going on. When he discovers what is happening, he knows that he will protect her at any cost. They also have sparks fly and soon they dive into temptation. Will he be able to keep her safe?

[Tai Nelson-Barnes · Rating 5 out of 5]

There has been a really really sexy and naughty Principal, and Brin wants him. Although Principal Kane and Brin never had any sexual thoughts towards each other until one night at a bachelor party, now that they can see each other in a different light, they can not keep their hands off. What are they to do? Brin needs help in any way she can get it. And Kane is willing to help.

Barely is a beautiful story, and I couldn't put it down. A must-read!

[Sassy Southern Book Blog · Rating 5 out of 5]

I liked this book. I usually like books with older men and younger girls. This one really called to me because they ended up together because of a tragedy in the girls life because the father was scum. He found Brynn in a strip joint and was the headmaster at her school. He had to find out why. Colton finally did and decided to protect her. There feelings became stronger and deeper from there.

I recommend this book it will bring tears, laughs , and have lots of steamy parts. By Kristina

[H.B. Jasick · Rating 5 out of 5]

Hot, and full of suspense. This love story happens quickly and unexpectedly. You feel for all the stuff Brynn is forced to go through, and you’ll swoon over how Colton protects her no matter the cost. I loved this book, and definitely consider it an absolute must read.

[Marie Brown (Marie's Tempting Reads) · Rating 5 out of 5]

A 100% HOT AF, panty-melting romance! nobody does wicked sexy and drool worthy taboo romance like Madison Faye. And Barely is SCORCHING HOT and the plot just keeps you panting from start to finish. I could go for more and more that is for darn sure.

Oh the things that go on at The Winchester Academy!
Fun, fantasy filth!

[Sandy · Rating 4 out of 5]

I hope it’s not the end of the Academy! This was a bit of a taboo as well. Principal Kane and Brynn were steamy hot together. I love how they “met”. Great epilogue.

[Sol Belenda · Rating 3 out of 5]

En el libro número 6 menciona casi a lo último que la amiga de Waverly, Brynn se ve envuelta en un escándalo. Después de eso, sabía que tenía que leer su historia.

Brynn tiene 18 años y llevaba una muy buena vida hasta que los trapos sucios de su padre salen a la luz. Se suponía que él administraba el dinero de otros magnates, pero terminó robándoles y por si fuera poco a la mismísima mafia también. Para colmo su madrastra desaparece, supuestamente yéndose de viaje a Europa. Así que el mundo de Brynn se pone patas para arriba de la noche a la mañana y a pesar de eso, decide intentar seguir con su vida lo mejor posible.

El problema? La mafia la viene a buscar y la obligan a trabajar como pago de la deuda de su padre. Pero no es cualquier trabajo sino que debe hacer bailes eróticos para un club de hombres.
En su primer día, tiene tanta mala suerte que termina dándole un baile en el regazo de un hombre mayor, sexy y apuesto que no es ni más ni menos que el director de su escuela jajajaj.

Colton tiene 38 años. Después de dedicar su vida a las fuerzas especiales por muchos años y que ello lo dejara marcado, decide dedicarse a la enseñanza. Su nueva vida va bien, tiene una linda casa y un trabajo que le encanta. Sin embargo, el amor no ha tocado a su puerta desde hace un tiempo.

Cuando un antiguo compañero lo invita a su fiesta de despedida de soltero, a pesar de no tener muchas ganas de ir, termina aceptando. Allí se ve cautivado por una bailarina joven y sensual. Él no puede quitar sus ojos de ella y al notar ésto su amigo decide comprarle un tiempo a solas con la misma.

Medio reacio va a recibir su baile, pero en medio del show descubre que la bailarina es una estudiante de su escuela. Demasiado tarde para frenar los sentimientos que están surgiendo.

Cuando él presencia que Brynn está siendo amenazada, no puede evitar dejar salir su modo protector y termina llevándola a su casa; lo cual es un grave error ya que es evidente que entre ellos hay una atracción innegable.

Entre más secretos descubre Brynn sobre su padre más peligro corre su vida y sólo se encuentra segura en los brazos de Colton. Ella siempre lo ha querido y no puede dejar pasar la oportunidad de que sean mucho más que la relación director-alumna.

Asimismo, Colton sabe que ella está fuera de sus límites pero aún así no puede dejarla. Su personaje es quien tiene por así decirlo el mayor dilema. Pero tal como el anterior libro que leí de ésta autora, la "crisis" es más bien leve y todo se resuelve fantásticamente rápido, dándole a los personajes un final feliz.

Great brain candy when you're in the mood for a older male/young but legal female school girl story.

Colton the principal finally gives in to his urges regarding a young, sassy, high-accomplished senior student, Brynn, especially now that she's turned eighteen... but that realization doesn't hit him on the head until he finds her at a strip club while he's there for a bachelor's party with one of his old military buddies (or he wouldn't have had been there in the first place as he could had just watch his heart throb from afar at work!). She's there because of her father. No, this isn't the usual father-owes-at-daughter's-expense story, but it's an interesting twist of an old theme. Her father's gone, having fled the jurisdiction of the United States. Her stepmother left her, stealing Brynn's trust fund. Now she's all by herself at the Wincester's dorms without any cash for the following semester. And now she's being threatened by a local mafia thug to pay her daddy's humungous debt. I guess there is money to be embezzled/made when you're a CPA without scruples.

Continued world-building is great, but the continuity is exceptional, considering that there are more than one novel being squished into the same timeline. I enjoy seeing Colton being a red-blooded male with manners as well as might, protecting Brynn from more than one foe. The end did come a little too soon for my tastes, and it was heavy in the deus-ex-machina. (How many favors does the world owe one woman??) I'll let you figure that out for yourself.

As usual, I can see Colton in my mind's eye, as well as Brynn. I just wish there was more Winchester Academy!!

I really liked the Winchester Academy series by Madison Faye. I'm sorry to say that this is the last of the series (so far), but she did intimate that there could be another book running around in that brain of hers. I wish she would get it on paper!!

La historia trata de Brynn Henley y director Kane, todo empieza cuando Colton va a un club de stripteases a una despedida de soltero sin embargo desde el minuto que ve a una chica bailando no la puede dejar de ver a tal grado que su amigo le regala un privado con ella y ya estando solos ella le empieza a bailar y todo se pone muy candente hasta que se le cae el antifaz y en ese momento se da cuenta de quien es ella, en ese instante sale corriendo de la habitación y en el momento que ella se encuentra con ciertos hombres en el cual ella corre peligro la rescata y la saca de este club indicando que desde instante la protegería a toda costa.

Me gusto esta novela, tiene mas historia a comparación de las anteriores, la forma que él la protege a toda costa de las personas que la andan acosando y de igual manera conoces un poco mas de la vida de él, es un historia sin complicaciones aquí el tema es que no se den cuenta que ellos andan saliendo, sin embargo se resuelve de la fácil y sencilla.

[JANEMAR · Rating 4 out of 5]

Y terminada esta saga creo ...
Me gusto hasta el final y retiro eso que dije en el quinto que deberian ser solo 5 ... no !! rotundo no !! porque el sexto y este ultimo estuvieron muy buenos.
Este se trata del director de la Academia Winchester que se enreda con Brynn quien es hija de un ladron de mafiosos nada mas y nada menos. El mafioso se llama Lorenzo y quiere reclamar a Brynn como pago de su deuda con su padre pero Colton el director la encuentra primero y la protege porque el antes de ser maestro fue agente de las fuerzas especiales. A Brynn le muestran los negocios sucios que tiene su padre y no es solo robar sino que ademas tiene negocio de trata, minas de piedras preciosas donde la gente esclava muere sin mas ni mas. es acusado. carcel de cuello blanco y ella se queda con Colton y se van a vivir a Francia sin importarles los 20 años de diferecia.
ahora me queda la duda de si hay continuacion porque nombraron a una tal Sasha y su pareja (??) amiga de Zara y Weberly de quien supongo que hay historia pero no aparece aun. Esperar.

-“I’ve got you,” he growls quietly, stroking my back as I bury my face in his chest.
“I’ve got you, Brynn.”-Favorite moment <3
It just needs more editing in the gramatical sense.
I feel like with every book it gets better, I don't know what could top this one, I mean the principle, but who knows, maybe 2 female students with a professor? XD
But in overall it had a bit of everything

[Jamies · Rating 4 out of 5]

Enjoyable read, and very dirty office sex scene. Making her Dad into a massive criminal towards the end was a good call because even if he found out that the Mob was trying to pimp his daughter, I doubt he would've cared or tried to stop it. Is Sasha getting a book or is that a different series, I wonder?

[Anahí Röben · Rating 5 out of 5]

Por fin termine esta saga y debo decir que es un 10/10 no hay mucha trama en si pero si buscas libros que fácilmente puedes leer en 2 horas este es el lugar correcto, en toda la saga chille de emoción y me encantaron los momentos románticos. Sin duda haber descubierto está autora fue lo que necesitaba. He leido otros libros y puedo decir que Madison Faye es una de mis escritoras de romance adulto favorita. El primero, segundo y sexto fueron mis favoritos 🤭🙈😍

[JenJen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Excellent as always! I was really nervous with the age gap that there would be Daddy kink, but thank God Madison went with Professor vs Daddy. The little added plot at the end wasn’t terrible, but I roll my eyes at how conveniently everything works out. Then again, these books aren’t read for their plot 😳🫣😬

[Autumn Miller ~ autumnbookreads · Rating 3 out of 5]

I liked this book. It gave me the taboo age-gap romance I was looking for and I enjoyed it. The only problem I had was the plot tried a little too hard to be something and it ended up just being boring. I skim read probably the last 20% of the book because I didn’t care unfortunately.

[The Bodacious Bibliophile · Rating 3 out of 5]

It had pretty much all the ingredients to be a really good book, but it just never came together. I never really felt connected to the story or the characters and I never really felt their chemistry to be authentic unfortunately
