Tempting Him An M/M, Student/Teacher Romance

Isabel Lucero — 2021

When my dad called to lecture me about how it's time to settle down, quit partying, and get a job that will actually prepare me for life after college, I agreed. Mostly. After spring break, I'll buckle down and be ready to work, but until then, I'm getting my fill of fun. Which is why when I spot an attractive man sitting alone at a bar, I approach him with the hopes of being able to tempt him into a night full of pleasure. After all, being with an older guy is just about the only thing I haven't done. When I wake up in his bed with a note that makes it clear he doesn't intend on seeing me again, I take it in stride. But when I show up to the job my dad set up for me, it turns out my new boss, Aleksander Drakos, is the guy who thought he'd be done with me after a one-night stand. On top of that, apparently he's a friend of my dad's. Trying to remain professional is pointless. Working with him day after day is just too tempting to not have another taste.

This story follows party boy Jay & boring Mr. Drakos (Alek). One random night Jay meets a man at bar (Alek) who’s relatively older. They both decided on just 1 night together while they follow his(Alek) rules. Only Monday comes around and they come face to face bc Jay is interning for his company, yeah he’s the CEO. Oh and did I forget to mention he’s also Jays father’s boss AND friend ? Yeah messy…. that doesn’t really stand in the way though bc his dad & the main office are back in Chicago. After a few days of them working together the tension gets so thick they decide they’ll be fuck buddies until he leaves in a month. What Jay quickly realizes is that Alek is dealing with some demons of his own that prevents him for opening up & being intimate. I learned something in this book that I was slightly aware of but not well versed in. Our MC grew up in a very toxic, abusive & homophobic household which caused him to have internalized homophobia. I applaud Lucia for tackling such a tough topic in this book without it being too dark & overshadowing the relationship between these two men. I really love her style of writing in that aspect. Every single one of her books touch on sensitive topics so it’s always an educational yet smutty read. I absolutely loved the dynamics between these two, it was giving a bit of grumpy/sunshine & there are a lot of teachable moments between them. Alek is possessive, jealous, hate everyone but you & Jay is very extroverted, carefree & FUN. The banter was absolutely hilarious I was cracking up reading about these two. Jay us so lively & lovable & I loved watching him break down Aleks walls. The conflict in this book made me very sad but I’m happy with the way it ended. This was such a beautiful story & I loved every minute of it. Honestly this entire series mad me so damn happy. 𝗜 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗿𝗰 𝗶𝗻 𝗲𝘅𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶 𝗞𝗮𝗻𝗲 𝗣𝗥 & 𝗜𝘀𝗮𝗯𝗲𝗹
