Publisher's Summary

On his first day teaching math at a community college, Chris Reuben gets an unexpected and unwelcome blast from the past: one of his students is his former shipmate...and ex-boyfriend.

Justin Hayes isn't looking for a second chance when he signs up for his ex's algebra class. All he wants is a passing grade and maybe a shot at mending fences with the man he loved - and hurt - while they were deployed three years ago.

Pain, guilt, and bitterness aren't the only lingering feelings, though, and even if three years is enough to melt the ice between them, they've already put their careers on the line for each other once. Can Justin convince Chris that what they had is worth risking their careers and hearts again?

Needed more scenes but I loved it anyway!

Newly minted math teacher, Chris Reuben is unsettled when his ex, Justin Hayes, walks through the door of his first community college class of the semester. Chris can’t forgive or forget the way Justin treated him when they were both naval officers and both men find the classes distracting. I liked a lot about this cute romance but it needed more (it’s only 122 pg; 3.5 hrs on audio). On the positive, it explored the pressures on gay military personnel during the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy. I also liked the slow reveal told in flashbacks about how Chris and Justin fell in love and fell out - the flashbacks were great, they felt very realistic. Being a romance, I’m not breaking a confidence to say they get back together, but after a brief apology it happened so quickly and Chris regained his trust for Justin instantly. Why not a few scenes of them dating or spending time rekindling the trust, etc. before the big declarations? Anyway … my bigger problem was the audio narrator Trip Warren. I liked his voice but his delivery was often stilted or wooden with awkwardly emphasised phrasing - not a deal breaker, but distracting.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
