Trouble with the Guy Next Door

A professor struggles with his desire for a student who makes no issue with his desire for him.

It is the first day of college and Professor Foster Haraday is struggling to deal with the divorce papers his wife just sent him. His feelings of failure and isolation are overwhelming as this was the first time he took a chance on someone and came out of his shell to get married and try to make it a success. Looking up from his papers he sees Justin Molina and immediately feels a connection. Justin is not like the other students as he is older, full of tattoos, and the poetry he writes for Haraday's class moves him to the point that he keeps after Justin to write. Justin has his own secrets and is battling just to survive as he is working three jobs in which he keeps running into the handsome Professor that he cannot seem to take his eyes off of. When circumstances have Haraday hiring Justin to work in his home, the attraction becomes even more intense but Justin is Haraday's student and then the Professor finds out what else Justin is hiding.

This story is a great romance where two people who both are caretakers find each other and without the desire to use or hurt, come together to heal each other. Felice Stevens writes a sensitive romance in Broken Silence the first book in the “Rock Bottom” series. The story takes place over a semester and half and allows the characters to grow from the experience of just being with each other and most of the time it is without the sex clouding the issue. She gives the characters time to come into their own so that they can become healthy partners for each other, but keeps the steam up with hot kisses and passion. The sex is good and worth the wait. I will admit that some of the supporting characters react to some situations in a way that does not make sense to me, but I have to assume they react this way because it will be explained in a future book. Overall, this is a great romance.
