I’d held off reading this one after devouring the previous two books in the series. I’m not sure why but I guess I wanted to wait for the right moment to jump back in.

Donovan is a man of mystery, we don’t know much about him so it’s awesome to learn so much and dive head first into his life. That prologue had me straight in the feels and it didn’t stop there.

After his divorce he needs something to put his mind off things and so he starts a part time position teaching creative writing along with his literary agent job.

Parker happens to be one of his students. After 4 years in the air force he’s back at school, but doesn’t expect to have the hots for his teacher.

He is sensible to not do anything but when he meets a stranger on his dating app and it turns out to be his teacher well there’s nothing he won’t do to know him more.

This story is full of sweetness and heartfelt moments but also emotion. We follow the journey of Donovan discovering himself with Parker and Parker opening himself up to someone else again.

There’s so much to love about this read but the key thing is about how it makes you warm and fuzzy inside. There’s minimal drama and what there is, is resolved fairly quickly so we are sure to get that happy ending!

Blurb:

Parker,

I never meant for any of this to happen, to fall for you. It doesn’t matter that we’re both adults, or how much we want this to work. The college policy is clear. I can’t see a way around this without one of us getting hurt. If I would’ve known who you were when we met online, I would have never pursued a relationship. I’m new to all of this, and besides my daughter, getting to know you has been the best thing to ever happen to me. But I can’t make you hide again. I won’t. It’s not fair to either of us.

Deepest regrets,

Donovan

Dear Mr. Brody,

You’re right, we are adults. I’m twenty-four years old, and I think I can decide for myself what’s best for me. If this is about you losing your job, I’ll walk away. But if this is you trying to protect me, then you’re an idiot. I want you. I care about you. My past isn’t an issue. What we’re doing… it isn’t the same thing. If we have to hide, so be it. I’m not ready to let you go.

Your Lost Boy,

Parker
