Book Blurb

Nick Tremantle has had a rough ten months. His professional life took a nosedive, and then his mom's health took a turn for the worse. In a short space of time, everything changed. So when he spies the young man hitchhiking, Nick pulls over - he needs all the Karma he can lay his hands on. But when the identity of the young man is revealed, it sets in motion a chain of events that unfold quickly, changing Nick's life completely.

Alex Nordmann's life has definitely not gone the way he'd planned. Gone are his dreams of an education and living his life 'his' way. He'd thought the worst was over, until the morning he decided to come out to his parents. It just goes to show, people will surprise you every time. For instance, who could have foreseen that the man who gives him a ride - and an unexpected lifeline - would have been Alex's first crush all those years ago?

 

Alex has no idea what's coming at him....

 

Book Review

Some men have been through so much pain and need a break so badly that I just want to hand a better life to them on a silver platter. In the case of ‘Teach Me’, K.C. Wells does so for me, and I couldn’t have been happier about the way she goes about it. Both Nick and Alex need a break, and the fact that they each lusted for the other (in secret, of course) in the past, gave me reason to hope. With characters who pulled me into the story from the first page, and a slow and careful development toward more as they feel their way, this story touched my heart and made me smile.

Nick is an English teacher, and he is one of those who care. He’d had a few very difficult months between a bad situation at work and his mother’s death, followed by some issues of hers he’d never seen coming. Almost worse than that, he has been lying to himself about who he is and what he truly needs. When Alex reappears in his life, not as a student this time, he is just the nudge Nick needs to rethink his priorities, and to consider finally coming out of the closet.

Alex has had an awful time of it. He may have cheated death, but he is no longer in college, and when he comes out to his parents, their reaction is so bad he leaves the same day – even though he has nowhere to go. When Nick is the one to find him trying to hitchhike his way out of town, Alex is surprised. At least he knows he can trust his former teacher, but there are a few surprises in store for him as they slowly get to know each other again.

If you like sweet hurt-comfort stories, if you want to find out how two men who are both hurt and alone manage to chase away the darkness in their lives by banding together, and if you’re looking for a read that will tug at your heartstrings and make you smile, then you will probably like this novella.
