About this eBook

She knows the behavioral science behind any problem... except for the one in her heart

For thirty-two years, Laney Travers has handled a lot of problems, but a relationship with a white man wasn’t one. Her love affair with gorgeous Tie Stevens seemed destined, however. She fell in love with his voice over the radio waves nearly three years ago. When Laney finally crosses paths with Tie at his talk and book signing, sparks fly between the two, and like two moths to flickering lights, they find themselves inseparable in bed and out of it. 

But are they?

As a psychology professor, Laney can’t help but evaluate her interracial relationship through a socio-political lens, a cause of potential strife. Tie disagrees but secretly worries about maintaining his relationship with Laney because of his self-made status. When it comes to diplomas, he doesn’t stack up. 

And Laney has a shameful secret that is enough to keep her from admitting her emotions. Is their chemistry one for the books or just a theory?

Ratings and reviews

First book from a new author and I liked it. One of the things that I liked was that it was so different from what I was used to reading. It gave me things to think about and ponder. Things that yes sadly some folks might find a bit touchy but hey out there this book IS True to life and that is what makes it so good in my book. Author Tavi Wayne gives us a story of two people who are attracted to each other in-spite of their differences on so many levels. Not just on the surface, yes I am speaking they are of two different races but also they are on two different levels as far as education level. So many people worry that if one person has more education than the other than it will create issues especially if the one who is better educated is the female. Like I said this book is so life like it is not funny. But as in real live look deep into the book or not. I read this book twice and enjoyed it both times. First time was the ARC (advanced review copy) second time was the book after it came out.

An enjoyable read that touches on many subjects, interracial dating, sexual harassment, education level. Basically love is love, no matter what your skin color or level of education is and you can't fight that. Loved the characters, plenty of humor. This is a new author for me and I look forward in reading more. I recommend this book.

Degrees in Love by Tavi Wayne is Tie Stevens and Laney Travers' story. This story covers some difficult topics such as sexual harassment, different educational backgrounds, and interracial relationships. Laney and Tie were entertaining characters. Upon meeting there was and immediate attraction between them. The story covers their relationship struggles and how they work through them to get their HEA. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
