Publisher's summary

Nolan

I’m a teacher who has only one thing missing from his life: a healthy relationship. I have a plan in place. This should be easy. No more toxic men. No more casual hookups. I want something real. A love that’s equal, not lopsided. I’m a fixer at heart, but I’m done with the hopeless and the selfish.

Rafe

I’m a dad. Pure and simple. The only thing I want is for my daughter to be happy and healthy. I keep my head down. I work like crazy, and I found her a great school in a new place. I don’t have time for anything else but her. She has my heart, leaving little for anyone else.
When this kindergarten teacher and single father come together, something has to give. Lines are crossed. Secrets are shared. Hearts shatter. Who knows? Maybe they can teach each other something.

M/M roamnce

Totally Schooled is a M/M single parent/teacher romance. Instant chemistry and spicy moments between Rafe and Nolan. I enjoyed watching their love blossom, despite their struggles. Rafe’s daughter was the cutest, and I feel for her as quick as Nolan did.

Scott Rose and Christian Leatherman did a great job portraying these characters.

Rafe and Nolan

Rafe is trying to get back on his feet and be the best single dad he can after tragedy rocked his world. Nolan is ready to settle down but keeps falling for the wrong guys and getting his heart broken. Rafe and Nolan’s attraction is instant but Nolan tries to keep things in the friend zone since he is Hailey’s teacher. As Rafe wears Nolan down, he starts to get in deep which spells disaster because of Rafe’s past demons.

Rafe and Nolan’s story is sweet, fun, and steamy. My heart broke for both Rafe and Nolan for the pasts that they endured. Together they are so adorable and compatible. Hailey is such a little force and too cute.

Both Scott Rose and Christian Leatherman are new to me narrators and I enjoyed both of them and look forward to listening to more audiobooks read by them.

Get ready for... mm, forbidden, single dad, age gap (5 years), and first-person point of view.

Wonderful Story & Listen🎧 Riveting & Heartfelt!

This wonderful and beautifully written romance novel is not only captivating from start to end, but it tugs on your heartstrings too. Construction worker Rafe Scott is a single dad of an adorable daughter, Hailey, and is attentive and very protective of her. When she begins school, he will be certain about who he is trusting his daughter with, including her bus driver and teacher. He was expecting a Miss Burke to be her teacher but got a Mister Burke instead, a very hot-looking mister. Hailey connected with her teacher right away, so all was good. Despite a few minutes of awkwardness, Rafe could not keep his eyes off of Mr. Nolan Burke, and the feeling was mutual, but they must maintain a professional relationship. Rafe being new in town has no one to turn to when he needs a sitter so he asks Nolan and that was the start of their friendship and the more they got to know each other the harder it got to resist giving into the chemistry they share, smoking hot chemistry. Rafe, who has a troubled romantic history, made a vow to never allow himself to fall in love again. However, must he pay the price of true happiness for his past mistakes? Nolan’s last relationship was not good, and he always wound up with guys who need fixing, so he vowed to not do that again, but he could not help but fall in love with Rafe and even Hailey. It broke Nolan’s heart that Rafe could not love him back. This wonderfully plotted romance novel has the perfect balance of drama, heartfelt emotions, is low on angst and high on heat. Nicole Dykes, thank you for another fabulous story and emotional rollercoaster ride.

They had a complete understanding of the characters they portrayed, gave each a voice that was fitting and believable, including Hailey, the scene stealer.

These versatile voice artists are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another fabulous listen.

Teacher / student’s dad

Rafe comes from a small minded town. Him and his daughter end up moving. When Rafe meets her kindergarten teacher he is instantly intrigued. However Nolan does not date his students parents. Which works for Rafe because he doesn’t want to date just have a friends with benefits. However, somewhere down the line they each fall for each other. Rafe fights the attraction thinking he would just bring Nolan down due to past experiences. This couple was just what each other needed.

Good story

Rafe is used to be let down.by people. It's not the norm to be gay in his small town. His parents were embarrassed, didn't understand him.
Nolan wanted a relationship, tired of hookups and flawed relationships.
Both found each other, but Rafe has hangups. Nolan didnt know how this would effect him emotionally, since Rafe did not want to get close.
An endearing child, Nolan's understanding and loving family, opened up Rafes heart and soul.
Scott Rose and Christian Leatherman narration is very good.

Totally Schooled

I loved this book. It is a teacher/parent MM romance. Rafe is a single dad new to town. He meets his daughter’s kindergarten teacher and is instantly attracted to him. Rafe has relationship hang ups from his past. Once Rafe can work through his trauma things move quick. Scott Rose and Christian Leatherman did fantastic job narrating this book.

Totally Schooled

well this was a good book, I felt a bit sad for the teacher. poor guy fell really fast. but I was a bit mad at the dad. he was so stubborn. but all in all I'm so glad thing work out between them.

Amazing narration

One hot teacher. One sexy single dad. One adorable child. One entertaining story. Nolan is a kindergarten teacher looking for a forever relationship and family. Rafe is a single dad convinced he is not meant to have a relationship. Their attraction is immediate and it's easy between them but Rafe may ruin them before they ever have a chance.

This is not original and fairly predictable but it is still entertaining because it's a tried and true formula with likable characters. It's insta-love without one of the characters realizing he's even in a relationship. I did enjoy this couple overall. My only real complaint is the "Ah-Ha Moment" The relationship building is good, and the developing relationship conflict is well done but the big moment of realization is underwhelming. But the flaws I found with the book were more than offset with the adorable little Hailey. This little girl stole was a star.

Scott Rose and Christian Leatherman, the narrators did an amazing job bringing these characters to life. They captured each aspect of the story, lovers, friends, professional, and parental. Even more impressive was the portrayal of little Hailey. She was beyond adorable. I'm not even sure how they made this little bundle of bright energy so believable. Kudos!
