Risking it all for Happiness
Even though Toby was apprehensive about Nate’s offer to mentor him so he could attend an international event he agreed. However, the tension between Tony and Nate grew from the moment they started working together to a point where they struggled to find the balance between desire and responsibility. Nate tried everything possible to keep Toby at arms length, but his willpower broke and he let down his guard and enjoyed a mind blowing encounter.
Unfortunately, Nate panicked after their encounter and wanted to return to their student and tutor relationship, but Toby managed to convince him to give them a chance. Nevertheless, just as Toby and Nate settled into their relationship, their happiness was interrupted when a threat was received. Luckily, Toby and Nate didn’t run scared and agreed to get on with their lives, and deal with any issues that cropped up together.
This student and teacher, age gap romance story highlights everything that society says is wrong, but it comes together beautifully in all the best ways in this captivating story. This book took me on an emotional rollercoaster ride, but left me on the edge of a cliff by the time I reached the end. I am really looking forward to reading the next book in the series.
