Story of Eli and Cole

This is a Professor/Student to lovers age gap story.

Eli is a freshman at university (18), he has worked hard for a scholarship to escape his small town in Texas.

Before classes start, he runs into Cole (32) and they are instantly attracted to each other. Eli unfortunately hurts his ankle, making him miss his first day of classes.

When Eli’s ankle is good enough for him to limp to classes the second week both Eli and Cole realise they already know each other, however It’s also becomes apparent that a coke is Eli’s professor.

It doesn’t take long for them to act on their attraction for each other and share all of Eli’s first.

It’s a great read and the audible is awesome too.

This was a really sweet book with very little angst.
Both MCs are super likeable and I loved Elijah's character development. He comes across as weak and shy but during the whole book he surprised me. I loved how strong he grew. And Cole was so supportive and loving, just what was needed. If you want something to warm the heart this should be one of your choices
