Love Lessons Learned
by
K.C. Wells
John Wainwright is having a momentous day. To start off, he lands his first teaching job. Then his brother, Evan, and Evan’s husband, Daniel, take him out to celebrate in Manchester’s gay village. An encounter with a sexy man forces John to admit what he’s been denying for too long—he’s gay. His coming out proves he’s supported and loved by his family and roommates. What more could a man want? There’s just one small problem: John’s dishy Head Teacher, Brett Sanderson, and John’s gigantic crush on him. Too bad Brett is straight.
Brett Sanderson leads a double life. At thirty-three, he is the Head Teacher of a primary school. But for seven years now, during every school holiday, Brett has fled to Brighton, where he becomes ‘Rob,’ a man who has a different guy in his bed every night but has never had a relationship.
Once he’s back in school, Brett is firmly back in that closet, until his newest staff member starts prying open the door. When John pulls out all the stops to get Brett’s attention, neither man is prepared for the consequences.
About K.C. Wells
Born and raised in the north-west of England, K.C.Wells always loved writing. Words were important. Full stop. However, when childhood gave way to adulthood, the writing ceased, as life got in the way.
K.C. discovered erotic fiction in 2009, where the purchase of a ménage storyline led to the startling discovery that reading about men in love was damn hot. In 2012, arriving at a really low point in life led to the desperate need to do something creative. An even bigger discovery waited in the wings – writing about men in love was even hotter…
K.C. now writes full-time and is loving every minute of her new career.
The laptop still has no idea of what hit it… it only knows that it wants a rest, please. And it now has to get used to the idea that where K.C goes, it goes.

Review: John has been on the fence about his sexuality for a while now. A lack of support if he comes out has nothing to do with it, his brother Evan is gay and happily married to another man and their family is wholly supportive. It’s himself that he is hiding from. His brother and brother in law take him out to a gay club in the village to celebrate when John lands his dream job, and an enthusiastic patron makes John realize the truth about his sexuality.
Brett lives his life securely behind the locked door of his closet, only being himself when he is on vacation in Brighton. But the adorably attractive new teacher is testing not only his will power, but his ability to hide the truth about his sexuality. Brett has never found a man that he wants to “sleep with. Screw them ten ways from Sunday, leave them breathless and then show them the door is his usual routine. That all changes when he takes a chance on love.
I’ll start with what was off for me with this story. It wasn’t cohesive throughout, there were times when the story disconnected between the storyline and the characters. And as much as I loved the new found passion that John and Brett shared, sometimes it seemed they were having sex just because, it didn’t advance the story.
What I loved was the chemistry these two had and the lengths they both went to in order to achieve their goals. John is sultry and seductive in his attempts to seduce the older man that is rejecting his affections. Brett is smoldering and ready to explode under John’s flirtations. This push and pull was what kept me interested in the story. Fans of Wells Learning to Love series will see some familiar faces in this book, as well as some wildly varying and enticing new secondary characters in John’s roommates.
I’m very excited to see where Well’s takes this new series and this new cast of characters. I’m a huge fan of her Personal series and her writing style is just that, personal. I love the connection she builds between characters and readers. This is a must read for KC Wells fans as well as fans of contemporary romance.
