Learning to love means a study in patience. Fresh out of the military, Ben Cooper is ready for a new start. He's away from his domineering father, making his own choices... and out of the closet. On his first day of college, he meets David Powell, who's just the kind of gorgeous man Ben's dreamed of. Too bad he's the teaching assistant--which makes him off-limits in Ben's eyes. David is Ben's age, but his life has taken a different path. He's close with his family, who helped him deal with personal struggles after he came out. And while he's staying away from any hint of scandal, Ben's a kind of temptation he hasn't faced in years. If only they'd met on more equal footing. As the semester progresses and their lives become more entwined, keeping their relationship platonic becomes more difficult. They just have to hold out until the end of the semester....… (more)

I suspect many readers will give this one four stars, and it's not unwarranted. I did love the slow burn romance, and the characters. It was refreshing to read a veteran who didn't exit the service damaged, and a man who needs AA but isn't sorely tempted to relapse. And I always enjoy the need family/got nosy family dynamic! That was awesome. But for me, some parts were boring.

I read at least eight books at a time. There is always in-progress competition for my reading attention. I kept reading because I've read Conner's shorter works, and she's earned my trust. Sure enough, I loved the end. But this would've made a better novella. Just one reader's opinion. :) ( )
