I love a great forbidden romance and Learning Curve is definitely now on the top of that list for me. This story was so much more than a forbidden student/teacher romance. It was emotional, it was sweet, it was steamy.

Alistar is a college professor at a university in Seattle. He is caring, he is loving, he is hot and he keeps his personal life to himself. Ben is a shell, he is broken and abused, he is working hard at trying to just finish college.

When Ben walks into Alistar’s life he knows there is something different, something special about him, he is someone that he needs to help and to protect from whatever it is that haunts him. Ben’s story absolutely broke me. The things that he had to endure throughout his childhood were gut wrenching. I wanted to just reach out and hug him and never let go.

If you’re looking for an emotional M/M forbidden romance this is one that should be at the top of your list. It is a heartbreakingly beautiful story that will leave you feeling all sorts of emotions.
