Trouble

By: Devon McCormack

Narrated by: Michael Dean

Kyle

Trouble.

That's all I am to people in this town. They're always waiting for me to mess up to prove them right. But I'm happy to keep to myself and mind my own business to survive my senior year at Wyachet High.

Then, one rainy Monday morning, I meet the dirty blond in glasses. A confusing first encounter turns awkward, but it's short-lived since James Warner has a way of setting me at ease.

Mr. Warner, I should say.

My teacher.

A fumbling nerd with a tendency to slip Milton and Shakespeare into conversation, he's a peculiar mix of charm, wit, vulnerability, and protectiveness.

Curiosity leads to intrigue, which leads to...I don't even know anymore. Not a day in class goes by where I don't catch myself admiring the way he fills out one of his tight button-downs, hoping I'll catch his gaze at just the right moment and wondering if he bites his lip after a bad joke just to drive me out of my goddamn mind.

I've never been like this over a guy...and he's never been into guys, at all.

What am I doing crushing on my straight teacher? And why is it that, the more time we spend together, the more I feel like something between us is changing?

No, it isn't possible, and even if it were, he has too much to lose.

It's trouble with a capital T. We could never cross that line.

We won't. We can't. We shouldn't.

But if only we could....

Note: The backstories for the characters include mentions of past trauma that might act as triggers for some. The main characters featured in this stand-alone novel are 18 and older.

How to say Cruller?

Decent enough book,
Usual author’s tropes of past traumas between both main characters healing each other…. Mr. Dean hitting his usual voice cues…. With one issue.

Mr. Dean, the word is cruller. It is pronounced like the start of crawl with a ‘ler’ at the end. Not crueler.
The sad part is that the author used that item to be the cute food trope in this novel.

Okay, rant over. Worth the listen.

wow! totally surprise

I was so worried about the teacher/student plot but O ...MY....GOD!!! It is so sweet and so natural. They were just made for each other. A must read !!!!!

Loved it

Narrator was great. Story was beautiful. I appreciated the way they came together. It was a slow burn that was needed with them being student and teacher. Definitely one of my top favorites.

ONE OF THE BEST IVE READ IN A WHILE

This was so good. The emotion, the love, the angst, the backstory... just everything squeezed my heart and had my emotions making my fingertips buzz. Loved it!

Extremely engaging start

I didn’t wanna stop listening But after the 50% point the story plot begin to drag. The plot picked up at the 80% point. Overall though it’s a great book and it’s worth the time. The author used a cheap trick, sex, to hold the book together in the middle. The author did a great job but it could’ve been terrific

An HOT, SEXY M/M Romance..., written by a guy!!

Who knew?? Devon McCormack is a favorite author, one I discovered over a year ago, seeking out anything he's written. The beautifully erotic #1 favorite, "Between These Sheets," is one I've enjoyed several times. Coupled with Michael Dean's crazy-making sexy voice, you can never go wrong. Highly recommend this & other edgy titles featuring their combined talents.❤

Loved it

I loved this story so freaking much! This trope is one that I can’t get enough of and there was just enough angst to keep things moving and keep me wondering. Also can we just take a moment to appreciate the deliciousness that is the cover of this book? 😍

I enjoyed the narration although I liked the sound of Kyle much more than the sound of James.

One of my Favorites

I loved this book. I couldn't stop listening. Amazing Story and Beautiful Characters. LOVED THIS BOOK.

Trouble

Student/teacher isn’t my usual go to. I have nothing against it, just isn’t my favorite troupe. I was hesitant when I realized this was teacher and high school student (18yrs), and even more hesitant when I realized that this was going to take place while Kyle was still in night school and James was his teacher.
But since this is by Devon McCormack, insta-buy. All I can say is..wow. Absolutely loved it. The way the characters and their relationship develop is done so well. This isn’t just some student and teacher lusting after each other, their relationship starts and student and teacher, then goes to friends and eventually lovers. Both MCs have issues they are dealing with and I loved watching them grow as a person along with their relationship with each other.
I found this to be a beautiful story of two ppl falling in love and overcoming their past. This is a little angsty but not to bad, and like always Micheal Dean did an amazing job narrating.
100% recommend!

Brilliant!

Great storyline, great narration, whats not to love. This book is packed full of emotions the characters take you on wonderful journey of discovery. I would highly recommend it!
