Totally Schooled

By: Nicole Dykes

Narrated by: Scott Rose, Christian Leatherman

Nolan

I’m a teacher who has only one thing missing from his life: a healthy relationship. I have a plan in place. This should be easy. No more toxic men. No more casual hookups. I want something real. A love that’s equal, not lopsided. I’m a fixer at heart, but I’m done with the hopeless and the selfish.

Rafe

I’m a dad. Pure and simple. The only thing I want is for my daughter to be happy and healthy. I keep my head down. I work like crazy, and I found her a great school in a new place. I don’t have time for anything else but her. She has my heart, leaving little for anyone else.
When this kindergarten teacher and single father come together, something has to give. Lines are crossed. Secrets are shared. Hearts shatter. Who knows? Maybe they can teach each other something.

Rafe is trying to get back on his feet and be the best single dad he can after tragedy rocked his world. Nolan is ready to settle down but keeps falling for the wrong guys and getting his heart broken. Rafe and Nolan’s attraction is instant but Nolan tries to keep things in the friend zone since he is Hailey’s teacher. As Rafe wears Nolan down, he starts to get in deep which spells disaster because of Rafe’s past demons.

Rafe and Nolan’s story is sweet, fun, and steamy. My heart broke for both Rafe and Nolan for the pasts that they endured. Together they are so adorable and compatible. Hailey is such a little force and too cute.

Both Scott Rose and Christian Leatherman are new to me narrators and I enjoyed both of them and look forward to listening to more audiobooks read by them.

Get ready for... mm, forbidden, single dad, age gap (5 years), and first-person point of view.

Cute story

This is an MM romance between a single dad and Hailey's kindergarten teacher. Nolan is looking for a relationship, and Rafe only wants friends with benefits. He is scared of letting someone else in after how things went Hailey's mom. It was an enjoyable book. I did the audio, which I really enjoyed. Narrators did a great job.

Sweet story

Two new yo me narrators did a good job with bringing this story to life. Well written and very sweet. Worth listening too.

M/M roamnce

Totally Schooled is a M/M single parent/teacher romance. Instant chemistry and spicy moments between Rafe and Nolan. I enjoyed watching their love blossom, despite their struggles. Rafe’s daughter was the cutest, and I feel for her as quick as Nolan did.

Scott Rose and Christian Leatherman did a great job portraying these characters.

Wonderful Story & Listen🎧 Riveting & Heartfelt!

This wonderful and beautifully written romance novel is not only captivating from start to end, but it tugs on your heartstrings too. Construction worker Rafe Scott is a single dad of an adorable daughter, Hailey, and is attentive and very protective of her. When she begins school, he will be certain about who he is trusting his daughter with, including her bus driver and teacher. He was expecting a Miss Burke to be her teacher but got a Mister Burke instead, a very hot-looking mister. Hailey connected with her teacher right away, so all was good. Despite a few minutes of awkwardness, Rafe could not keep his eyes off of Mr. Nolan Burke, and the feeling was mutual, but they must maintain a professional relationship. Rafe being new in town has no one to turn to when he needs a sitter so he asks Nolan and that was the start of their friendship and the more they got to know each other the harder it got to resist giving into the chemistry they share, smoking hot chemistry. Rafe, who has a troubled romantic history, made a vow to never allow himself to fall in love again. However, must he pay the price of true happiness for his past mistakes? Nolan’s last relationship was not good, and he always wound up with guys who need fixing, so he vowed to not do that again, but he could not help but fall in love with Rafe and even Hailey. It broke Nolan’s heart that Rafe could not love him back. This wonderfully plotted romance novel has the perfect balance of drama, heartfelt emotions, is low on angst and high on heat. Nicole Dykes, thank you for another fabulous story and emotional rollercoaster ride.
