About this listen
I met him on a beach, and he stole my heart. Then it turns out he's my professor. Will he choose his new career, or us? Caleb Allen
I play bass guitar in an ever-popular pop-punk band. I wasn't looking for love, but it found me anyways.
I was healing from the trauma of gun violence by vacationing with my best friends and bandmates.
Then he blows into my life, turns it upside down and gives me the safety and love I need. Problem is, he's about to be a professor in my college and relationships between students and faculty are prohibited. Are we really saying goodbye after everything we've shared?
Eric Moore
After years of hard work, I've finally become a professor. To celebrate my success and reset my life, I'm spending a month with the calming surf.
Then he shows up in the house next door and burrows into my heart.
Can I really let him go at the end of his vacation?
When we both go home, a change in class schedules means Caleb is now one of my students.
It's important enough to tell him in person before classes start. When I confront him, I can't say goodbye again and we start a secret relationship.
Can I keep the career of my dreams and hang on to the man I love?
Never Let It End is the third book in the Rock U series and is part of the Mesa Boys universe. This novel features an age gap, hurt/comfort, and a bad-boy rocker in love with his professor. It guarantees an HEA and has no cliffhangers. It features a level-headed student suffering from trauma, and a man who's trying to start a new life on the right path. Each book features a different couple and can be listened to as a standalone or as part of the series in order.

Story
I’m never one to turn down a bet. Especially not when it comes to retaliating against the dean for pulling a dick move before summer break. So when the dean’s golden child arrives at Astor for his freshman year, my fellow troublemakers throw down a wager I can’t resist. The target: the dean’s son, John Thomas Hawthorne, or “JT”. The bet: corruption in any way I choose. It should’ve been easy. With his mess of brown curls, pouty lips, and good-boy reputation, JT is the perfect revenge. And even better? He’s straight.

When I was traded to the Buffalo Warriors, I knew things wouldn’t be any different. Skate. Score goals. Work out. Repeat. That’s my life. I’m living the dream by playing professional hockey, and I have some amazing friends. I’m happy. Really, I am. Or at least I’m trying to be. Until the night I run into Luca.

Sometimes I want to punch that smirk off Atlas McCallister's pretty face. He's cocky. A troublemaker. A pain. And, unfortunately, my stepbrother. We've been fire and kerosene since our parents got together, and to keep from exploding into fistfights, we've used challenges, dares, and bets to battle out our differences. Our past bets have been a little inappropriate—scandalous, even—but Atlas's latest bet has gone too far. Do I really believe if he loses, my straight stepbrother is gonna mess around with a guy? And not just any guy: me, his rival and nemesis?

The emo kid, the loner, the cynical wallflower with an attitude. It's no secret that I've never quite fit in. But it's glaringly obvious now that I've moved to this Podunk small town that seems to run entirely on sugar, friendliness, and cheer. (And cows, an ungodly number of cows.) I hate it—this place where everyone knows everyone, and I'm still the outsider. Who wants to fit in anyway? I've never really tried, never even thought I wanted to…until I met him. Jimbob is living his best life out here, farming the fields of Kansas, well and truly happy. And I just don't get it.

After years of drowning myself in parties, hookups, and pain, all it takes is one viral sex tape to be given a choice: Hide out on an island or lose my trust fund. Having to share a room with the one man I let hurt me is my worst nightmare. I’m the broken shell of the boy he walked away from on the worst day of my life. I hate him almost as much as I hate myself.

I thought I had everything figured out—until I met Jaxon. I'm dominant by nature, but Jaxon brings all that out in full force. What started as a one-night stand after his confession that he's never been with a man quickly turns into a whirlwind. Now, I want nothing more than to put my collar around his neck and ensure he's mine. Add in my best friend, Blaze, and his boyfriend, Elijah, and we're in for a hell of a ride. Blaze and I soon realize that someone has betrayed us when cops start breathing down our necks. All of this makes it hard to navigate what the four of us have started.

We became famous overnight. One day, I was a twenty-four-year-old drummer slinging pizzas to make ends meet, and the next, I was a member of the most popular alternative band ever. Despite being world-famous, there was no connection in it. I'd lost touch with reality, with intimacy. I couldn't find a place to be normal. I'd lived my entire life straight-edged while watching obsession destroy my best friend. Obsession terrified me—that is until I met him.

We barely know each other, but for some reason, he takes care of me when an incident at the club leaves me helpless and alone.

The Christmas Buddies program becomes a challenge I can't wait to overcome when I realize the man that has been assigned as my buddy for the holiday season is none other than Paxton Montgomery. He's massive, grumpy, incredibly gorgeous (in a lumberjack kinda way), and also—weirdly enough—the only person in town who doesn't like me.

There’s a lot I’ve never told my best friend. The fact that I love him. That I miss him every day he’s gone. That, sometimes, I ache for him with a ferocity that leaves me breathless. Lucky Buchanan tore into my life as a boy, wild and daring, my opposite in every way. He drew me in, stole my heart without trying. He hears me, even though I rarely speak a word. But I always knew this place wouldn’t be enough for my free-spirited friend. I knew he wasn’t mine to keep.

Caleb and Eric
Enjoyed the story for the most part, I wasn't to fond of the story line with Raj (I think it how it's spelled, if not ooops). Good HEA. I really enjoy all of Christie's books, so far all her stories are good enough to reread or listen to again. I also like the way Finnley Cole narrated "Never let it end".

Summer vacation fling turns into much more
This is the third book in the Rock U series. It follows Caleb Allen a student and guitarist for a punk rock band, who is dealing with the fallout and guilt of a mass shooting he was involved in. In walks Eric Moore, a new professor at ASU, spending a vacation in Mexico when he meets Caleb where they start out as a summer fling but ends up to be so much more. White a schedule change Eric finds it that Caleb is indeed in his class and when he tells him he realizes that he doesn’t want to be without him. As they both deal with the intricacies of them dating a sweet love story emerges. I enjoyed this story of how a tragedy can be worked through with a good therapist, friends and the love of your life. Finney Cole was wonderful as the narrator he really captured Erne sorry and the love between the two characters.

Comfort and Love In Mexico!
This is a standalone romance, but it takes place after the traumatic events in the previous book. We know what Caleb has experienced and it wonderful to see him making every effort to move forward. In Mexico he meets Eric who is about 10 years older than him and strong and comforting presence. They have steamy encounters and grow close. I did appreciate though that they made the realistic decision that it could not continue back home since they would be Professor and student. But we all know that the heart wants what the heart wants and these two have to their own feelings, moral decisions as well as the nasty outside interference of Eric's previous bad decision! Emotional and hard-won happiness found within themselves and with each other. I was so invested in Caleb's health and happiness, so I was pulling for Eric and Caleb to make it work because they felt right together. I thought Finny Cole did a nice job of bringing both Eric and Caleb to life.

Disappointing Pointless Secrecy
Audiobook (10h7m), Narrated by Finnley Cole: 4.25 stars
I've been enjoying Finnley Cole's story-telling but found his Caleb/Eric to be quite similar to his Axel/Remy when listening to them back-to-back. This had a lot more passages that were more softly spoken, which I struggle with as the volume differences makes listening in the car a chore. Still I found his narration compelling and entertaining - very easy to enjoy during my commute to work.
I listened at 1.15x speed as I knew this wasn't my favourite story in the series and I'm eager to listen to Silas and Cash's story, [book:Light Me Up|176608068].
I was given an Audible code and voluntarily wrote an honest review.
Story: 2.5 stars
1st person, past tense, dual POV
Caleb Allen (22), computer sciences student at ASU
Eric Moore (33), network security professor in the computer sciences department at ASU
This is the third book in the Rock U series and while it could be read as a standalone, events that occur near the end of the previous book [book:Come Closer to Me|122891918] play a significant role in this story. While they are explained, the emotional impact isn't felt nearly as much and I feel would read better with that context. There are also some cameo appearances by characters from the author's Mesa Boys series and as I have not yet read them it felt gratuitous and distracting though I'm sure fans of those books were thrilled to see them appear.
I went into this book with a great deal of anticipation, but unfortunately I was disappointed. Very little of the story worked for me. Just about the only thing this story had going for it was the hot sex, especially Caleb's... oral fixation ;) which isn't enough to carry the book, especially with its length.
As with the first two books of the series the relationship is established rather quickly, too quickly for my enjoyment, I like the anticipation, especially when there are impediments such as an age gap, meddlesome ex-, taboo relationship and actual trauma to work though for storylines. All these issues are basically swept aside for sex and an endless loop of 'we should disclose our relationship', but Eric refusing to do so for... reasons... This had the consequence of a long, drawn-out, monotonous middle that just wasn't engaging.
I really hate when characters act against their own best interests and the whole secrecy about their relationship was dragged out waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long. Literally every character stated that they needed to disclose their relationship to the university to avoid problems and Eric received that information and then promptly decided against it, for no discernable reason. He was already a bit of a red flag for the secret affair he had with his married boss, Rajesh, at Desert Solar so this didn't endear him to me at all. When it finally came out the resolution was not at all satisfying; Caleb basically lied to saved Eric's ass and the bad guy faced zero consequence.
While I love the band and the found family vibe they have going on, by and large their treatment of Caleb's trauma was ham-handed and insensitive. More than once I recoiled at the guys' attitude towards him, pressuring him to talk about the events early on in the book and his relationship with Eric - yuck! I did enjoy Caleb's journey in dealing with the guilt of not having done more and was thrilled with every bit of progress that he made.
I actually thought the Rajesh storyline could have been a compelling one as he started stalking Caleb and trying to entice Eric back into his bed, it sadly fizzled and didn't play out with any elegance.
While this one was a miss for me, others have enjoyed it very much and I am looking forward to seeing the rest of the bandmates get their HEAs.

Caleb's feelings of inadequacy
I felt sorry for Caleb because the aftermath of the mass shooting left him feeling like a coward when really he did the smartest thing. I felt happy for Caleb when he found his fighting spirit after he fell in love with his professor. Eric brought outthe aggressor and protector in Caleb. This story shows what true love can do for someone's esteem and insecure feelings. Great story!

Healing love
This one begins with most of the guys recuperating in Mexico after that unfortunate incident with Caleb, Silas, and Axel. These guys have been through so much and poor Caleb is suffering the most with survivors guilt. Then Caleb saw Eric and it was instant attraction, which proved mutual once Eric met Caleb. This was a fast pace romance, both fell in love in just a week. That was the easy part. Now comes the hard parts, Eric is a professor starting at ASU and by some twist of faith Caleb is in his class. Eric's ex does not want to let go. Eric's former relationship is something I really don't like to read about and I usually stay away from books like those. His former lover is married with kids which Eric knew about and regrets. I'm not a fan of cheaters. Eric meeting and falling for sweet loveable Caleb is what made me forgive him that indiscretion. He was just what Caleb needed to move forward. Again we can see the maturity of Caleb support system, they were able to give both Eric and Caleb some very good advice to help. There was no relationship angst, no third act break up, just love, supportive friends, healing, and lots of steam. The narration was topnotch, Finnley Cole has improved greatly with each book and I look forward to the next one.

Professor/Student Age Gap Romance
I really enjoyed this audio edition of the 3rd book in the Rock U universe. We are back with Caleb, the bassist for Knot Me and a computer science student at ASU. When the guys all travel to Mexico to decompress after the shooting that happened in book 2, Caleb is still struggling with the aftermath. He has nightmares and feels like he failed Axel and Silas. But then he meets their hot beach house neighbor Eric. They have instant chemistry and Caleb has discovered that he feels safe with Eric. But Eric is in the middle of changing careers and will be starting as a professor in Caleb's program which makes their deepening relationship an almost impossibility. Once back in Arizona they cannot deny the depth of their feelings and decide to proceed with the relationship despite the roadblocks that include university HR rules and a vindictive ex-lover. I love the friendships that are a hallmark of this series. They are all so supportive of each other. I also like the level of spice that the couples have. Caleb and Eric are hot together from the get go and it is only enhanced with Finley Cole's narration. Can't wait to hear more from this collaboration.

Caleb and Erin
"𝙏𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙞𝙨 𝙙𝙞𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙩, 𝙬𝙚'𝙧𝙚 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙞𝙣 𝘿𝙞𝙨𝙣𝙚𝙮𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙖𝙣𝙮𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚," 𝙝𝙚 𝙧𝙖𝙠𝙚𝙙 𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙚𝙚𝙩𝙝 𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙡𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧 𝙡𝙞𝙥. "𝙏𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙞𝙨 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡."
Nᴇᴠᴇʀ Lᴇᴛ Iᴛ Eɴᴅ is the third book in the Rock U series by Christie Gordon which is Caleb and Eric's journey.
Caleb and Eric indulge in a whirlwind fling together while in Mexico and agree to part on good terms at the end of the vacation because they are going to both be at the university and it would not look good for a professor and student to be together but when they are both back home it proves to be harder to stay apart than they thought.
Caleb and Eric are good together and help each other with the baggage they both carry but there were times that I felt their relationship was a little robotic. I loved the banter between the bandmates and their partners and how quickly they welcomed Eric into their little found family.
The whole storyline with Eric's ex-boss/lover really rubbed me the wrong way and I could have done with it being less than what it ended up being.
I am looking forward to continuing the Rock U series.
Finnley Cole did another amazing job with this group and am glad that he is the one continuing the series.
Get ready for ... age gap, fling, musician • rockstar, college, hurt • comfort, professor • student, forbidden vibes, and be mindful that there is content that may be uncomfortable for some readers, and check the trigger warnings before enjoying it.

Fantastic story and narration
Great story of finding love. Caleb is working through his trauma and not expecting to fall in love and resolve his trauma. Eric is not even looking for a relationship when he meets Caleb. But once they connect there is no separating. This story is very touching and really well written. The narrator does a fantastic job bringing the characters to life and really making you live the story.

another enjoyable story
This is the 3rd book in the Rock U series. Eric and Caleb meet while on vacation in Mexico. With Eric has taken a professor position at Caleb's College. Their relationship was only supposed to last as long as their vacation did. Well, that didn't work out as planned.
I enjoyed revisiting the men of Knot Me they are a fun group of young men.
I listened to the audio book narrated by Finnely Cole. I enjoyed listening. He makes the story come alive.
