About this ebook

A Forbidden Age Gap Escort MM Romance by USA Today Bestselling author Lynn Burke

 

When I go back to college to prove my worth to my pop, the hot, grumpy professor in my first class is a temptation I can’t resist.

 

Matteo D’Angelo is also straight, in a position of authority, and a widower, but those three reasons he thinks he’s unavailable are irrelevant.

 

He’s my Prince Charming come to life.

 

I manage to weaken his stubborn defenses against the magnetic draw between us, giving him a taste of what could be.

 

But one of EEMM’s past clients threatens to release damning photos, doubling my workload and stress. I’ve never been the best behaved or the brightest, and I quickly spiral to my breaking point.

 

Will Professor D’Angelo relent to the pull between us and be the oak I need to help me stay the course? Or will I have no choice but to once again show my family that I’m nothing but a failure?

Ratings and reviews

Sean and Matteo have stolen my heart! The needle flies off the hotness meter from the first time their eyes meet until the very last page. This story has highs filled with laughs, teasing, and loving, offset by a few moments of tears, heartbreak, and sadness. Sean has so much hope that he will finally achieve all he has the potential for and be a good boy in someone's eyes. From acting like a bratty kid to morphing into a man trying to convince his professor to come to the other side of the sheets for his brand of loving, Sean shows so much personal growth. Matteo is mourning the love of his life and feels he shouldn't be attracted to the tempting student who brightens his classroom, especially since he has never felt this way for a man. Matteo has an inner struggle in the discovery of self and learns love is fluid. What blooms between the two men is a beautiful relationship that has Sean soaking up Matteo's maturity and Matteo learning love can happen twice in a lifetime.

Gah! I'm a sucker for bi-awakening stories and boy did Lynn Burke deliver in spades. Three Reasons features Sean Fox who manages the MM branch and chronicles him trying to prove himself worthy to his family by returning to college for his MBA. Matteo D'Angelo is the lucky professor who catches his eye from the get-go, and seriously who could blame him! These two have a lot of baggage to unpack before they can truly connect and find the validation and love they both deserve. All the spicy stars ✨

I love forbidden romances, and the professor/student dynamic is one of my absolute favorites when it comes to the forbidden tropes. The fact that Sean is an older student and there’s a 10-plus year age gap between him and Matteo doesn’t lessen the hotness of it at all. I enjoyed the subplot in this book, as well as catching up with Micah and getting to know a couple of the other Elite MM escorts as well. I was a great read!
