1. Unsupervised - Paperback | Kindle

Synopsis (Goodreads):
(Which is kinda the theme of the book, isn't it? So my indecisiveness PLAYS INTO THE THEME. I feel like I've stumbled into a performance art piece where I, the reader, have just taken center stage. I'm a little afraid right now. Hold me.)
Anywho. Kelly and Layton. I never really felt like this was a forbidden romance. By the time things escalated between them, she was no longer his student and...is it really a thing at that point? I dunno. I did enjoy her general cluelessness (which makes total sense given how sheltered she'd been growing up. When everyone makes choices for you and doesn't give you a chance to stretch your wings, things are going to get messy when you're suddenly making decisions on your own.) and how she staggered her way into friendships and jobs and such.
Enjoyable despite not being quite what I was looking for even though I thought it was. And that's a bit of a tangled sentence, isn't it? Right. Clueless coeds on their own for the first time and sexy teachers who never quite crossed the line he seemed to think he crossed. I liked it overall, so there's that.

Synopsis (Goodreads):
*This is the first book in a Violent Circle comedy spinoff series. It's not necessary to read the Violent Circle series first and all books can also be read as a standalone.Thoughts on Unsupervised: I was looking for something light, fun, and relatively angst-free when I ran across this book. While, yes, Kelly and Layton's story is all of the above (for the most part), I think I really wanted something with a little more...something. (I hesitate to say I wanted more angst, but maybe? I mean, usually, I try to avoid the angst and all that, but I wanted something light that pulled a little harder on my heartstrings. Which is entirely my issue, not the characters or the writing. When one doesn't quite know what one wants, one has to learn to adjust their expectations.)
I am in over my head.
My decision to run from my comfortable upper-class life was an impulsive one, but I’m determined not to regret it. It’s true I have no car, have already been fired from my first job, and can’t cook without starting a fire, but I can do this. Anything is better than the life I was raised to lead as some successful man’s arm candy.
I’m adjusting to my new circumstances living with three roommates on Violent Circle, a neighborhood known for being eccentric at best and an insanity filled edible trip any other day. On my own for the first time, I am quickly realizing there’s a lot I need to learn, so signing up for the adulting club that teaches life skills at college seems like the perfect solution.
Until I walk into the first meeting and come face to face with my gorgeous economics teacher. Screw learning how to change a tire or file your taxes.
There are much more adult things I want this man to teach me.
