Luke

Learning to Love, Book 3

By: Con Riley

Narrated by: Cornell Collins

Can Luke learn to love the man who left him?

Headmaster Luke Lawson is committed to saving his boarding school before a cash crisis sinks it. He'll do anything to keep it afloat, even if that means accepting help from the man who broke his heart at uni.

Nathan's offer to teach for free could be a blessing as long as Luke can harden his bruised heart. That's tough when they'll need to share living quarters and have a history of hook-ups. But Luke knows being compatible in bed isn't enough to build trust. It can't be when Nathan has always left him before morning.

This time around, it feels different. Nathan's work overseas has changed him. Touched him. Opened a locked chamber in his heart that Luke is beginning to think must have been bruised in the past too.

As pressure mounts, can Luke trust that Nathan's committed this time—not only to his school but to a shared future with him long term?

Contains mature themes.

Wonderfully Satisfying!

I still can't get enough of this world and can't wait for the next in the series to be available on Audible. Luke and Nathan have known each other for more than 10 years and haven't been able to be more than casual with benefits. It turns out they both want more and this is their second chance journey to find each other framed within an overarching ongoing challenge to the school. Along the way are past traumas, present barriers and a lot of doing the heavy lifting in the communication arena. As in previous books in this title, the issues are very real, the struggles legitimate and moving. Each of the MCs is relatable and I found myself cheering them on and so pleased with how they came together.

These books need to be discovered and experienced to be believed!

excellent second chance romance¡

Story and narration extremely well done, looking forward to more of the series! The setting makes me want to move there.
