Author: Andi Jaxon

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?

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 staring 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.*
I LOVE student/teacher books and this one hit all the buttons. Alister and Ben are so perfect together. They have a connection from the beginning, even though Ben shies away from Alister. There are hurt/comfort aspects to go along with the student/teacher, which is another favorite trope of mine.
While some parts of the book moved a little too fast for me, for the most part I love the way the relationship between the characters developed. My heart ached for them, especially when we learn about Ben's past. The poor boy went through so much, but when he's able to fall in love with Alister he's shown the love and care that he's always needed.
I've never read this author before, but I enjoyed the writing and the twist that was put in. I'd read more from her.
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!”
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.
