Alister Bennet
Loyal, reliable... predictable even, I’ve always done what's expected of me. Stay out of trouble, get my teaching degree and build a respectable career as a college professor. The job comes with a long list of rules and at the top of that list is no fraternizing with students. Following the rules seemed easy enough, until a dark, tortured boy sat outside my office waiting for me. His voice told me it was his grade he was worried about, but the deep onyx pools of his eyes told me more as they shook the solid ground I’d always stood on.

Am I willing to risk my career, my carefully built reputation, to help one so filled with pain I can taste it?

Benjamin Wallace
Rejected, abused, and abandoned my entire life, all I’ve ever wanted was to be accepted, loved even. I thought going to college on a scholarship would be my ticket out of hell, but nothing good ever comes without a price. As graduation nears I find myself drawn to the mysterious professor like a moth to a flame. Just one meeting with the man that has been starring in my dreams has my soul screaming for him to hold me, comfort me. A relationship isn't just frowned upon, it's forbidden, but the heart doesn't always know the difference.

Can I trust my mangled heart in his perfect life when my past repeats itself or will he destroy what is left of me?

*Author's note: This is an MM teacher-student romance with themes including abuse and kidnapping. This story ends with a HEA.*

Laundry Librarian - “Have you ever been touched by a story so deeply, the feelings it draws out of you linger for weeks, months or even years after finishing it? Learning Curve was that kind of book for me.”

The Little Bookworm - “I love a great forbidden romance and Learning Curve is definitely now on the top of that list for me.”

A Book Lover’s Emporium Book Blog - “Forbidden? Teacher/student? M/M? Oh HELL YEAH! This book has all my favourite things!”

Hang on because you are in for one emotional and wild ride. This is more than just a "forbidden romance", it's acceptance, loving yourself, finding your worth...I can keep going. I honestly wasn't prepared for the emotional toll this book would demand, but I'm so glad I jumped on for the ride.

Ben has lived a hard life and is trying to better himself, which incudes a college scholarship. One teacher catches his eye. They shouldn't, but Alister has also noticed Ben, and neither can stay away. 

Be prepared with this one. I needed a few tissues. There were a few things that I felt were a bit repetitive, but overall, this book is a must read! Great characters, a suspenseful plot that will pull you in and toy with your emotions, and even more. You need to one-click this 4.5 star read today!

From Dyslexic kid with a love of Algebra to a published author, no one is more surprised to find me here, than I am. I love to write about tortured pasts and hot sex, a happily ever after that has to be worked for. My stories tend to be a little dark but with some comic relief, typically in the form of sarcasm.
