Synopsis

Three months after being injured, Detective Jared MacLean is healing, but he’s afraid it may not be enough to go back on the job. He won’t give up, though. Being a cop is written deep in Mac’s bones, and he’ll do whatever it takes to carry his badge again.

Tony used to wish he could have Mac safely home, but watching his strong husband battle disabilities is far from Tony’s dream come true. When Mac is asked to consult on a case involving one of Tony’s students, both men will have to face old demons and new fears to find a way to move forward together.

(This is a lightly edited rerelease of the 2013 original, bringing Mac and Tony to their HEA. – content warning for a domestic abuse case, suicide)

Review

Reviewed by ButtonsMom2003

Tony and Mac weathered the storm.

I’ve been looking forward to listening to this audiobook ever since I finished book three, Home Work. I knew it would be wonderful because the first three books were. In Learning Curve Tony and Mac get the solid HEA that they’ve worked so hard for,

Mac has been working hard to get his speech back to normal after the life altering injury he suffered in Home Work. He wants to return to work as a homicide detective – full time, not on limited duty. Tony loves Mac and he wants him to be happy but he really doesn’t want him to be a cop any more. This is something that Tony has to deal with because he knows what being a cop means to Mac.

Tony has his own trials to deal with in Learning Curve. The way he interacts with students and the GSA (Gay-Straight Alliance) is questioned and he has to handle Ben’s grandparents after a big event happens for him and Ben.

This series has followed the ups and downs of two men who love each other. Mac goes from being in the closet to being married to the love of his life and coming out to his co-workers, friends and family. I’ve come to feel like I know Mac and Tony after reading about all of the things they’ve had to handle as part of their everyday life and I’m going to miss them.

Life Lessons has been a wonderful series to listen to. JF Harding does a wonderful job performing these stories. The way he captures Mac’s speech problems is chillingly good (especially in book 3). I can’t say enough good things about Learning Curve and the entire series. It’s been my pleasure to follow Mac and Tony on this journey and I’m so glad that I was able to listen to these audiobooks.

About Author

Kaje Harper

I get asked about my name a lot. It’s not something exotic, though. “Kaje” is pronounced just like “cage” – it’s an old nickname, and my pronouns are she/her/hers. I’ve been writing far longer than I care to admit (*whispers – forty-five years*), although mostly for my own entertainment. I write M/M romance, often with added mystery, fantasy, historical, SciFi, paranormal… I also have Young Adult short stories (some released under the pen name Kira Harp.)

After decades of writing just for fun, my husband convinced me I really should submit something, somewhere. My first professionally published book, Life Lessons, came out in May 2011. I now have a good-sized backlist in ebooks and print, both free and professionally published, including Amazon bestseller The Rebuilding Year and Rainbow Award Best Mystery-Thriller Tracefinder: Contact. A complete list with links can be found on my website “Books” page at https://kajeharper.com/books/.
