A Proper Education #2
Me Three
alternate cover edition of ASIN B08KTMD5BL
It was a night of passion with two best friends.
How was I supposed to know they’d end up being my teachers?
Professor Carter refuses to acknowledge me.
He doesn’t do his students. And he doesn’t do relationships. It’s the only way he knows to protect his broken heart.
Professor Everett is the sweetest.
But what else could I expect from this attractive bear? If only he wasn’t so desperately in love with his best friend.
Is there space in their bed and hearts for me? Or am I just the wedge between the two friends with benefits?
Me Three is the second book in Rhys Everly’s steamy, low-angst, teacher/student romance series, A Proper Education, but can be read as a standalone.
It contains a non-binary character, best friends to lovers, steamy threeways and a poly-for-you trope.

Me Three is a fun thruple romance between two professors who are best friends-with-benefits, and their non-binary student. It did all start to blend together after a while and the conflict was mainly just annoying and eye-roll inducing.

Ehhh... it was just okay.
I really liked Tru and their outfits
Ev was sweet
Charter pissed me the fuck off
But there came a point when I stopped caring about these characters and wether Carter would finally pull his head out of his ass and stop hurting Ev or when they would finally be in a relationship. The writing style wasn’t my favorite so that added to my dislike and my lack of investment in the story. The characters were all pretty bland and one dimensional. Also I was so confused when they were having sex a lot of the times. Granted I’ve never had it myself but I’m pretty sure some of the positions just weren’t right?? And what was the point of condoms if you’re going to eat the cum? Like you might as well just fuck them bare.Anyways I was skimming at the end and just didn’t really care what happened to them. Also they never had sex in the classroom and there was never that angst that I love in teacher/ student romances. I’ve been in slump since like October and every time I think I’m coming out of it shit like this happens :(
Not bad read but not a good one either

Tru, Everett and Carter
What starts out as just a one night encounter, turns into so much more. I’ll be honest I was really not a fan of Carter. He’s was abrasive and too set in his ways AND almost ruined everything.
For an mmm, I was hoping for more balance which happens eventually..but Ev and Tru were my favorite.
So... the Valentine’s Day sex made me want to bleach my brain.. chocolate sauce and anal sex together is not the sexy visual I’d want in a book unless that’s your kink. But scat is not for me. The author should have thought that through.. and some of the positions were a bit anatomically impossible. Porn research is necessary sometimes. Take note.
The HEA was cute and I’m glad they all found their way. I wish there would have been a bit more story of the 3 of them all together in the relationship.

This was just okay. I started off really not liking Carter. He was a huge ass and yeah, I get that he was hurt by his ex but it’s been 6 years and he is still all messed up over it. He won’t admit his feelings for his best friend, Everett, but he still hooks up with lots of other guys, as described by his “promiscuous and slutty ways.” Meh, don’t love characters like that.
Everett has been in love with Carter since they were teenagers but has never admitted it either. So he’s hurting every time Carter hooks up with other dudes. Seriously sucks. But they have a FWB situation going on and they hook up with other dudes to have a threesome, but Carter has “rules” such as no repeats, and with Everett there’s no PDA, no pet names, a bunch of other shit.
So Tru comes along, one of their threesome hookups. But it ends up that Tru is in both of their classes at college after the threesome. So they end up seeing them again...
Carter is still trying to stick to his “rules,” even though he ends up messing around with Tru and Ev again, but he gets all pissy when Ev wants to see Tru again anyway. So he won’t do repeats but he’s basically forcing his friend not to either. Ugh.
In the end they all end up together and Carter gets his head out of his ass, finally. I’m glad for that but geez. The first half of the book was pissing me off.
I’d probably give this a 2.75⭐️ or somewhere around there.

I’m all for trying new things! I randomly picked a book from my humongous TBR and I ended up with a MMNp teacher/student triangle! Call me intrigued! You know me, I love myself some drama and controversy.
Carter and Everett are professors, best friends and friends with benefits. Add nonbinary art student Tru in the mix and you have the story!
This was so not what I expected. I initially liked the characters a lot, Ev and Tru more than Carter. Though at some point, they started to blend together.
I would have appreciated more focus on the story and not on the smut, while I do love my smut, everything else fell a bit short.
Also the non binary aspect - while I loved that!! - confused me a bit. My first novel, and the “them/they” threw me off a couple of times, but that’s me who is to blame here. I love that a no binary character is featured. Tru was so secure in who he was and what he wanted, I liked that.
But, hear me out… my biggest issue was the anatomy. The smut was interesting , did not always float my boat, but in my mind, I tried to imagine the different positions and I was at al loss… or they’re all super bendy and can split themselves?! 😂
I read this in a couple of hours, it was a really short and quick read.

I really loved Everett, Carter and Tru story. The chemistry between them is off the charts and the way they try to resist at first is hilarious and painful. Everett and Carter were best friends for a long time with feelings for each other but unknowingly for them. When Carter’s ex cheats on him, something broke inside him and is afraid to open to love and feelings.
Tru is a whirlwind that makes all their wishes come true, but has a hard battle ahead in convincing and wining them and also to be convinced that they both wants them. They complete each other perfectly and with time, patience, love and sweet time they realise all they accomplished by being together. Tru is considered the glue that keeps them together, the one who made possible feeling so much happiness, confidence in themselves, and all the things Carter and Everett accomplished professionally and personally since them entered their lives.
I really enjoyed the read and I'm looking forward to see what happens next.

Wish it was longer. It was a fun, relatively short read. Carter was a super douche for the first 11 chapters. We get it, your ex was horrible but it does not excuse the borderline verbally abusive behaviour to both Tru and Everett. Once he’s in however, he’s all in which is good to see but seems like a shock turnabout. Everett is a sweet open hearted man who just once to be loved. And Tru! Wow! It’s refreshing to see such a sex positive, makes no apologies for what they want character. This book is full of super hot s*x and tons of c*m play. Age gap, teacher/student, MMM. Light and enjoyable like the rest of the series.

Steamy to romance
When I first.started reading this book I was thinking it was going to be just a steamy book full of sex scenes.. well it does jump right into it doesn't it?
But it went from steamy to Carter being a fool to oh I'm really liking this story.
Tru really does make Everett and Carters lives better. Everett and his patience and love help Carter to see that Tru is what they needed and being closed off is not what Everett wanted anymore.
Really good story. So glad I picked it up.

Smutty&Sexy, esattamente quello che mi aspettavo e non mi ha delusa!

This book starts off steamy. One of my favorite parts of the book is when both Carter and Everett realize that Tru is in both of their classes. This has two friends who are in love with each other but won't admit it and an instant attraction.

DNF at 30%, and I had literally to grit my teeth in order to get there. The story turned me off from page one and I've remained resolutely off up to the exit point.
1. The story begins with a sex scene. We know nothing about the characters at this point. Not even how they look. We actually have to collect together bits and pieces thrown at random during the scene. You can't write an effective sex scene like that. Try imagining disembodied body parts having sex. That's the effect.
2. Sex scenes are frequent but badly written. Cheesy and full with irrelevant details and yet cold and mechanical. They read more like someone describing the plot of a porn clip he watched yesterday than someone describing the hot sex he had.
3. Despite the fact that the initial hookup is terribly written, all three MCs treat it as "mystical" and "unforgettable". The drive behind their entire relationship is their chemistry during this magical one night stand (and they hardly talked that night). Sorry, but that's neither realistic nor erotic. That's just lazy writing. If the author was gunning for a pure PWP it might have been acceptable, but that's not the case.
4. All three characters are annoying. Carter is obviously the head jerk - as Everett justly said, a nasty breakup is no excuse for treating people like sex toys six. years. after. Get a professional help and deal with it. Tru is mostly annoying due to their obsession about the other two after one hookup. Everett is annoying since he wants to sleep again with Tru without any real consideration of Carter's feelings and/or the risk for his career. All three MCs behave like horny teenagers. Just different variations on the same subject. There is no adult MC here.

I like this read. It was sweet and fluffy with a little angst.
I enjoyed that the trio didn't have an established couple adding a third as such.
The tension and insta lust was well written and the classroom parts hot!
Tru, Carter and Ev work but I did have a couple of concerns ..first they were keeping it secret for a bit but were out for dinner in public and second, Carter change of heart, guess I would have like a bit more angst and a bigger id like to be a part of this moment.
The author did write the trio well, the smexy times were hot and it was good to see Tru get his teachers!

"Me Three" is the third volume in "A Proper Education" by Rhys Everly, a series in which the main prompt is one of my favorite ones, namely student/teacher. What can I say about this installment? Let's start with the characters, because their complex psychological structure is certainly their great advantage. The author puts a lot of emphasis on Tru's, Everett's and Carter's psyche and the problems they struggle with, whether it is an ex-boyfriend who has destroyed faith in a relationship or low self-esteem. What is also a very interesting element of the construction of the three main characters we meet in "Me Three" is their character, because depending on the situation and emotional involvement, they can be very different, which emphasizes the fact that they are complex and very real, just like normal people. It's really important when it comes to character building, so I'm glad Rhys Everly made sure they had a lot to offer us.
As for the story, I think I would compare it to a Christmas gingerbread. On the one hand, it is sweet, on the other, it is really spicy, if you know what I mean ;), and it has the aroma of drama, if we take into account the problems of some characters, which go deep into their souls, making their life difficult. I think it should be emphasized that in "Me Three" two topics come to the fore the most - the sexual life of the characters and their attempt to solve the problems they face. At the same time, both of these themes are combined so that our boys can discover needs that some of them haven't realized they have and others have been rejecting. All the plots in the novel merge smoothly and together they create an interesting, technically simple, but when we consider the characters' psyche, complicated story.
I would like to draw your attention to one more thing, namely the teacher/student prompt, which is the main one in the series. So, what's so interesting about "Me Three"? Well, in most of the novels this type of relationship is not allowed so that equals the forbidden fruit motif. Rhys Everly puts it a bit differently, as in "Me Three" the characters for various reasons are not supposed to date one another, but it is not forbidden so they can always take a chance. Thus, it is a slightly different way of showing this prompt that many people, myself included, like and even love. Undoubtedly, this gives the author the opportunity to fully make use of this motif, which I consider a plus.
To sum up, "Me Three" is quite a nice novel, in which the physical needs of the body dominate, and are overlapped with the psychological needs of the characters. This book is really entertaining, precisely because it combines human physicality with the psyche. In short, I recommend it.
___________________
„Me Three” jest trzecim tomem „A Proper Education” autorstwa Rhysa Everly, serii, w której jednym z motywów jest mój ulubiony wątek – nauczyciel/uczeń-student. Co mogę powiedzieć o tej części? Zacznijmy od bohaterów, albowiem z pewnością dużą ich zaletą jest ich złożona budowa wewnętrzna. Autor dużą wagę przykłada do ich psychiki oraz problemów, z jakimi się zmagają, czy to jeśli chodzi o ex-chłopaka, który zniszczył wiarę w związek, czy też niską samoocenę. Tym, co również stanowi bardzo ciekawy element budowy trójki głównych bohaterów „Me Three” jest ich charakter, ponieważ tak naprawdę w zależności od sytuacji i zaangażowania emocjonalnego potrafią być bardzo różni, co podkreśla to, że są osobami skomplikowanymi, bardzo realnymi. To naprawdę istotne, gdy chodzi o budowę bohaterów, dlatego cieszę się, że Rhys Everly zadbał o to, aby mieli nam wiele do zaoferowania.
Co się zaś tyczy historii, niewątpliwie porównałabym ją do świątecznego pierniczka. Z jednej strony jest bowiem słodka, z drugiej zaś naprawdę ostra, jeśli wiecie o co mi chodzi ;), i posiada aromat dramatu, jeśli weźmiemy pod uwagę problemy niektórych bohaterów, które sięgają głęboko w ich duszę utrudniając życie. Myślę, że należy podkreślić, iż w „Me Three” dwa tematy wysuwają się na pierwszy plan najbardziej – życie seksualne bohaterów oraz próba rozwiązania ich problemów. Jednocześnie oba te tematy łączą się w odkrywanie potrzeb, z których niektórzy bohaterowie nie zdawali sobie sprawy, a inni je odrzucali. Wszystkie podjęte w powieści wątki łączą się więc ze sobą płynnie i wspólnie tworzą interesującą, prostą pod względem technicznym, za to skomplikowaną gdy weźmiemy pod uwagę psychikę bohaterów historię.
Chciałabym zwrócić Waszą uwagę także na jeszcze jedną rzecz, a mianowicie na motyw nauczyciel/uczeń (student), który stanowi główny wątek serii. Co w tym takiego interesującego kiedy chodzi o „Me Three”? Otóż w większości powieści pojawia się bardzo wyraźny zakaz tego rodzaju związków, co oznacza sięganie po owoc zakazany. Rhys Everly przedstawia to trochę inaczej, gdyż w „Me Three” bohaterowie może i z różnych powodów nie powinni się ze sobą spotykać, ale nic tak naprawdę im tego całkowicie nie zabrania. Tym samym, jest to trochę inne ujęcie motywu, który wiele osób, w tym ja sama, lubi i kocha. Niewątpliwie daje to autorowi możliwość wykorzystania w pełni zasobów tego tematu, co uważam za plus.
Podsumowując, „Me Three” to całkiem przyjemna powieść, w której dominują fizyczne potrzeby ciała, zaś na te nakładają się potrzeby psychiczne bohaterów. To lektura, która stanowi naprawdę dobrą rozrywkę, właśnie dlatego, że łączy ludzką fizyczność z psychiką. Mówiąc krótko, polecam.

This was quite a 🔥🔥🔥 read! Is Forbidden romance my thing now? or is it just that I love the whole Teacher/Student dynamic. Albeit, the characters in Me Three felt very close in age, so it didn’t feel as forbidden, but I still loved it.
Also, this was actually Teacher/Student/Teacher with the 2 Teachers being Best Friends to Lovers.
Tru is a non-binary student who is looking for sex. They don’t mind (they REALLY don’t mind) playing the third wheel, especially when the guys are as hot as Carter and Everett. They can tell there is something between the two men, but don’t really care as long they also get to spend time in between them.
Carter isn’t looking to get treated as badly as he was in his last relationship, so he’s sworn off anything longer than a night. He has his best friend/roommate, Everett, that he has a deal with. They play together and with other people, but the others are only for a single time and then they never see them again.
Everett has been in love with Carter since he met him, but when he moved away for a short time, Carter’s ex destroyed his heart and any chance for him to move on and find love. So he sits on the sidelines waiting for the right time and for his best friend’s heart to heal.
After their one night stand, the guys are all Tru can think about. But a week later, he walks into his freshman college class and who is his Teacher? The same guy who was railing him last week…
This was hot and perfect for what I wanted. I just needed some good old fashioned smut. It was a quick read that I finished in a few hours. Highly recommend!

Everett has been in love with Carter since he met him, but when he moved away for a short time, Carter’s ex destroyed his heart and any chance for him to move on and find love. So he sits on the sidelines waiting for the right time and for his best friend’s heart to heal.
After their one night stand, the guys are all Tru can think about. But a week later, he walks into his freshman college class and who is his Teacher? The same guy who was railing him last week…
This was hot and perfect for what I wanted. I just needed some good old fashioned smut. It was a quick read that I finished in a few hours. Highly recommend!

Ohhh...Me Three is a fabulous menage romance by Rhys Everly. The second book in the A Proper Education series, it's easily read as a standalone.
Of course, the storyline is intriguing. Two best friends who are friends with benefits. A non-binary third for a night. Yes please!
Luckily for all of us, the author excels in developing this tale and treating us to a fantastic friends to lovers romance.
There's a lot going on in this story. After one hot and steamy night with Carter and Everett, Tru discovers that both men are his professors for the semester. Cue the awkward moments. Cue the forbidden romance. Cue the fun.
Not only does Tru have to deal with two stubborn men and the forbidden position they are in, but he also has to deal with the fact that those two men are in love with each other.
I seriously love this story. The developing relationship Tru has with the men is intriguing. And the situation and tension between Carter and Everett is awesome. I love it all.
One of my favorite aspects is that Tru has never had any desire to be poly. Until falling for both men equally.
I admit there are plenty of moments where I found myself super annoyed with certain characters. Stubbornness certainly leads to stupid decisions. But in the end, all is wonderful.
Me Three is a must read the next time you're in the mood for a poly romance. Rhys Everly delivers all the feels in this ultimately sweet tale. And if you like heat, you won't be disappointed.

Tru, Carter, and Everett's romance was undeniably sweet, but I wish the rest of the story had been more fully developed. This story had the potential to be deeply emotional and captivating, but the way it was written made it hard for me to get fully on board. On the one hand, I thought the romantic progression was really touching--the way Carter opened up over time and allowed Everett and Tru to love him was heartwarming, and it was so sweet to see Everett gain some confidence in his body. On the other hand, I was really thrown off by how casually the three of them approached their relationship, given the conflict of interest with the school. I can understand why the author didn't want to get into the ethics of two professors dating a student, but it felt really unrealistic to me that these three could casually date in public without anyone noticing what was going on. I would have loved to see them consider the consequences a bit more, even if it was just a simple conversation between the three of them where they acknowledged that maybe Tru should swap to different classes if they were going to date seriously. In a story where there wasn't much going on besides the romance, I guess I was hoping to see more of how they made their relationship work in real life, but unfortunately that piece was missing for me.

Such a refreshing and much needed add to the genre. Very rarely do we see non binary characters as a main character. The few I’ve seen have been secondary characters with small parts in the story. That being said it was hard to get used to them/they pronouns (hence not seeing a lot of enby characters) which isn’t a bad thing, it just shows the lack of inclusivity. Tru is a great character, I think they are well represented and well written without them being portrayed as an over the top character. I liked Ev and Carter as characters by themselves as well as a couple and then a throuple with Tru. However, I do think the sex scenes were a bit over the top at times, I was not expecting the level of explicitness or the frequency, and honestly I think it took away from the story. Obviously, the chemistry in the bedroom was off the charts, but out of the bedroom it sometimes fell flat for me. I would have liked to have seen more character development from all three, individually and as a relationship. The angst and drama of the story was kind of glossed over and then not talked about. Overall, an enjoyable read but not one of my favorites. I like Rhys and will continue to read his books, I’m looking forward to Ezra’s story. I received this book as an ARC in return for an honest review. These thoughts and opinions are my own.

Teacher/student isn’t a trope I set out to read. However, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. There were so many sexy, delicious, and downright dirty scenes between Everett, Carter, and Tru (They/Them). Loved it!
Carter has so much baggage and hang ups about relationships after what his ex did to him. It was extremely frustrating, but everyone processes their emotions and disastrous past relationships differently. Sometimes a push is needed to look introspectively, so you can reevaluate your life and those restrictions you’ve placed on yourself to prevent anyone from getting close. Overall, Carter is the “problem” character of the three. His turnabout in character was very sudden, but maybe when he decided things had to change something mentally shifted.
Everett was SUPER SWEET. I just wanted to squeeze him. He’s been friends with Carter his whole life. He just wants to find someone to love and have that love reciprocated. When Tru comes into his & Carter’s life, he’s not willing to let them slip through his fingers.
Tru, they are such a vibrant character. I loved their take charge attitude, but at the same time they were just as sweet and caring as Everett. Honestly, Tru is the glue that held the throuple together.
In the end, we get a lovely HEA.

This novel begins with a pretty epic threesome between Carter, Everett, and Tru. The chemistry is thus well-established from the beginning, and clearly off the charts, but before they can all be together, there are one or two tiny issues to work through first. Such as the fact that Carter has massive baggage from a previous relationship and only barely tolerates friends with benefits with Everett, his best friend and roommate. Or the fact that Tru is a student at the college both Carter and Everett teach at, and not only that, but they’re in both Carter and Everett’s classes. So...traumatic history. Best-friends-to-lovers. Teacher/student. Age gap. Take your pick, there’s a trope for you here, and plenty of steam along the ways as the guys figure things out. For the most part, it all works really well, although I admit I found Carter’s stubbornness seriously frustrating-- it’s a useful plot device, as it generates plenty of angst, but Everett especially has to have the patience of a saint to deal with all of Carter’s drama. I loved the balance the three eventually find, and that Tru is always a full partner along the way: despite their newness to the dynamic, and the fact that they’re significantly younger, their agency is always felt and respected. All in all, an enjoyable read.

Definitely a hot ménage addition to the Rhys Everly wheelhouse. Although I do not know IRL, nor have ever read about a non-binary character I was willing to give this book a chance b/c I love the author’s writing and I was not disappointed. The heat starts right from the first page, as that is the first hookup b/t Carter, Everett and Tru. But after the amazing time they all seem to have Carter shuts down and takes his leave. He never does repeats. Except for Everett, who is his best friend/roommate with benefits. A roommate he won’t even let himself think of as a repeat b/c then feelings get involved. But,what happens when Tru ends up taking not only Carter’s math class as a college requirement, but also Everett’s art class as part of his actual degree requirement? Carter freaks out, but Everett is more chill. Carter definitely acts like an a** in class towards Tru and barely acknowledges him if he sees him outside. However, when Everett expresses interest in maybe dating Tru Carter gets jealous. Can Tru make these two men open up emotionally to each other and still get what they want too? Tru never thought of themself as wanting to be in a poly relationship before, but if they can have Carter and Everett as their “better thirds” then they are all in ❤️. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

This is an entertaining, pretty low-angst story of two university professors who have a one-night stand with a student that becomes much more. It takes a non-binary student to bridge the gap between two best-friends-with-benefits professors, but can they get over their personal hang-ups to see what they really mean to each other, or will jealousy and old hurts interfere? There are personal issues that create roadblocks, including a past relationship that went bad, insecurities, jealousy, fear, and lack of communication, but there isn't any extreme drama or trauma. I enjoyed the story, and the non-binary character was a refreshing change of pace. I would have liked to know the ages of Everett and Carter. Although they were obviously older, they often acted or sounded of a similar or younger age than Tru. He seemed to be in charge of most of the sexual encounters after the first night. Though I liked the story, it seemed more sex than story. I would have appreciated more development of the relationship outside the bedroom.

Sweet, Party of Three
I’m going to admit that I typically don’t read poly love stories. I make exceptions, and Mr. Everly hit two of them in one go. First: duh, I enjoy Rhys Everly’s storytelling skills; secondly I already fell in love with the series, and enjoyed Tru in Beau Pair. I was not about to pass up an opportunity to read his story, and I’m glad I read it.
Carter, Ev, and Tru were great characters. It was easy to like them, even when they were being pigheaded. There was just something that they each brought to the table, and worked for them. The amount of insecurities they each battled, in regards to their throupling, made me want to hug them. I liked how, once the communication got flowing, it continued. I enjoyed that the misunderstandings, and misinterpretations didn’t drag out unnecessarily.
I can’t wait to see what Rhys Everly has on store for Ezra!

Thank you for the ARC read, I voluntarily give this book an honest review. A Cinderfella hook-up leaves Tru, Carter and Everett with a dilemma. Carter's one steamy night with out compilation? What a "laugh" to walk in to calculus and see the onenighter sitting in the row. Everett is tickled pink to see them in both of their classes after all what was the odds of the only other person to stick in Everett mind longer than a few days? Everyone has fears but will those fears stop them or will ones own stubbornness stand in the way? One shielding his heart from another break with RULES, even at the unknown pain in his friend, the other pining for a returned love, add in A ginger minx that is about to tempt both but will it last? After all the friends with benefits was there first. Carter's rules are about to be turned against him if he doesnt unstick his head from his cute kinky booty.

I haven’t read the first book in this series and so didn’t know what to expect.
So .... ᗯOᗩᕼ at the ꌚꏂꉧ.
I certainly wasn’t expecting all that right off the bat!!
There is an interesting dynamic in this story. Usually with a student/professor or other age gap trope, the younger character is more shy, untried, even innocent or unsure {or both}. Tru is none of those!! While it seems unlikely that such a young person {who still lives with their parents} is so sexually aware and in a healthy, non-damaging way, I’m sure those unicorns exist. It was even a bit refreshing to read about one.
Now ... having said that, I won’t be adding this book to my library. It’s full of grammatical errors, misused words, bad timing, unrealistic scenes, misplaced dialogue, and just an overall lack of editing.

Lovely story without drama or angst.
It starts when Tru, a non binary 19 years old college student, meets Everett and Carter at their home for a casual threesome. It's an amazing experience for Tru and they cannot stop thinking about them until they find out that Carter and Everett are their professors for the new semester.
The plot is quite simple: Tru is attracted to both of them, Everett would like to meet Tru again, while Carter is adamant not to (he's been badly burnt in the past and he's not willing to risk his heart anymore).
Luckily Tru can be very convincing and, between them and Everett, they're able to push Carter out of his comfort zone.
A lot of spicy and good times (), but I would have preferred a lot more romance too.
Recommended if you're looking for a light reading with a sweet HEA.

Here is book 2 in this low angst sweet series about teacher/student relationships. This one is less than conventional. Tru is finding themselves attracted to two different professors at their university: Everett is sweet and Carter is aloof and distrustful. Somehow those two have a friends with benefits arrangement that honestly holds them back but Carter is too afraid of losing everything to admit to any feelings. The magic of this book is the three of them realizing that they are so much better all together than any other relationship or sum of their parts. All it takes is Everett and Carter realizing that maybe Tru is the glue that can hold them all together. A very sweet, happy read with all the feels. I thoroughly enjoyed it! I did read an ARC of this book.

Let me say this story starts off sizzling and doesn't stop. Tru, Carter and Everett chemistry burns hotly page after page. Love that Tru is young but knows what he wants. He takes charge of Carter and Everett which was a surprise. Most of the time when it's a Teacher/Student story, the teachers are ..well..the teachers, lol. But not here. Carter had a lot of inner demons to conquer which made him flip flop but once he gave it a go, there was no stopping him. Everett was patient and sweet. He didn't let Carter's doubts/rules stop him from pursuing Tru but he also didn't push Carter away. All three were truly accepting of each other which allowed their love to bloom and be themselves. I can't wait for the next story.
