Unlovable: A Student-Teacher Gay Romance
McLain's Last Chance Book 1
by Rachel Kane
A professor, his student, and a trip they'll never forget...
Taggart: The hook-up app was a last resort, to get me over the grief from my last breakup--to get over this idea that I can't be loved. But I never would've downloaded it, if I'd known it was going to match me to one of my students...let alone the son of the head of my department. But that's okay, as long as I never see Jet outside of class again, I should be fine, right?
At least, until Jet's dad sends me on a mission to rescue a rare species, and decides Jet needs to go with me, as a character-building lesson.
Jet: Tag is everything I'm not. He's serious, grounded, and mysteriously sad. He's so different from the shallow boys around me, the frenemies I've surrounded myself with whose drama is exhausting me. But nothing can happen between us. My dad would flip out if he knew.
But once we're in the mountains together, things change. I can't stop pushing until I learn what makes Tag tick, but then it's too late, the feelings are too real to hide.
How are we going to tell my dad?
Unlovable is a student-teacher romance, the first book in the McLain's Last Chance series, which can be read out of order. Full of delicious angst, bad jokes, cuddly warmth and strange beasties (only some of whom are the rough-and-tumble McLain cousins), this book is 65,000 words.
Momma Says: 4 stars⭐⭐⭐⭐
A bit of the taboo with this teacher/student romance. That said, the story really doesn't have a taboo feel to it. Don't get me wrong, there is still drama surrounding the issue, but not quite in the way you'd think. I really liked the dynamic between this pair. Jet is young and has a reputation as a playboy who takes nothing seriously, including relationships, while Tag is the serious professor who has been burned by love and given up on anything more than a hookup. Despite all of that, Jet comes across as the more emotionally mature when feelings enter the picture and the relationship is threatened. Their roles are almost reversed at that point, which serves to add an extra layer to these wonderful characters. The story is a great combination of sexy and sweet. It does have its fair share of angst, but those angsty parts are tempered with witty dialogue and Tag's quirky family that I'm hoping to see more of as the series progresses. All in all, a great start to a promising series.
