Learning Curves

De: Rachel Lacey

Narrado por: Quinn Riley

From the author of Stars Collide and Cover Story comes a steamy will-they-won’t-they romance about a bright young teacher reconnecting with the jaded professor she once pined for.

For Audrey Lind, working with clay still evokes memories of her favorite professor. The woman’s zeal for art history ignited Audrey’s own academic career—and her tweed blazers and British accent kindled her first female crush. After fate brings Audrey back to Northshire University to teach, she’s thrilled to be working alongside her former mentor, but the grumpy woman she encounters upon her return is nothing like the dynamo she remembers.

Divorce and a stalling career have turned Dr. Michelle Thompson bitter and guarded. When Audrey swoops in to teach the Women in Art class Michelle’s been pitching for years, she longs to hate her. But her young rival is too kind, too enthusiastic, too irresistible. And her passion for life slowly reawakens Michelle’s own.

Wary of age gaps and workplace politics, they suppress their smoldering attraction—until one wine-filled night at the pottery wheel puts their romantic truce to the test. Will they keep things on the tenure track or risk it all for love?

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Fans of slow burns, sexy tweed, and queer sincerity will love this couple.”—Publishers Weekly

absolutely a must

this book was superb. what a beautiful story that was well told. It had heat, spice, heartfelt moments with tears or smiles and a HEA. Quinn Riley was top notch, truly amazing. I personally would have loved to have a bit more with them as a couple interacting with each of their family's. Again it's what I would ask for, basically its such a great story I didn't want it to end!

VERY Enjoyable!

Excellent age-gap story! It definitely kept me entertained from start to finish! I highly recommend!!

the perfect age gap

where to start! they are great characters. you fall in love with how they interact once they finally hit it off. the progression in the beginning is natural and the author does a great job going into each perspective. AND ITS HOOOOOT! something about and older woman and another respectfuly younger woman, ya just gotta love. I truly appreciate the author for being original in this type of genre.

One of my favorites, age gap, ice queen.

Quinn Riley is becoming one of my favorite narrators. Rachel Lacey gives her plenty to work with this book. Just a touch of angst with some really hot spicy scenes. I love the way that Audrey and Michelle find their way to each other.
