Two words stripped Austin Pritchard of the privileged life he's used to. The moment he uttered the words, "I'm gay," he realized there is no such thing as unconditional love. Now, he's gone from traveling the world with his family to living on the streets trying to figure out how he's going to stay in school. A chance opportunity changes everything. Austin impresses the foreman and lands a job, but even more, he catches the eye of David Becker, who is determined to teach him that true love doesn't come with strings. The only thing David had as a child was love. His family struggled to keep food on the table and a roof over their heads. That has driven him to stay focused on his goals; become a tenured professor at a university and save enough money to build a home of his own. It's not until he sees an insecure college student working on his new house that he realizes that he hasn't planned on someone to share his life with. He's about to learn that everything he's already accomplished is nothing compared to the task of making Austin see that he is worthy of love. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Teach Me is about a college boy who comes out as gay. His father completely cuts him off. The semester ends, and he has nowhere to go, no vehicle, no phone, nothing except boxes of his things that must be out of the dorm in a couple of hours. Up until this point, he has been part of a wealthy family, never having to worry about how to live. Now he finds himself on the streets with nothing but what he could fit in a backpack. Makes me sort of teary just thinking about it. This story could have taken a way worse turn for the lead, but luckily he doesn't meet up with the wrong crowd.
Austin shows true grit when many would give up. He sleeps in the streets at night and hunts for work during the day. I appreciate the author showing that not everyone who is homeless is just a druggie looser that doesn't want honest work. He becomes a day laborer which leads him to meet David.
David finally got his life all straight. He has the job he's worked so hard to get. He's building his dream home. All of his hard work and life goals are falling into place. While inspecting the building of his house, he sees Austin and is instantly pulled toward wanting to learn more about him.
The rest of the story is a roller coaster between Austin and David. Even though they are both great men, things don't always work out perfectly, and they don't always behave the best. It's a learning experience for them both.
This is one of those books that makes you think. It also makes you appreciate what you have and may even cause you to be a little nicer to others. You can't always judge someone by how they appear. I enjoyed this read, and I recommend it. If you're looking for something erotic, this isn't the book for you. If you want some M/M love with an honest look at life, this is probably something you would like.
