Two words stripped Austin Pritchard of the privileged life he was used to. The moment he uttered the words "I'm gay," he realized there is no such thing as unconditional love. Now he's gone from traveling the world with his family to living on the streets, trying to figure out how he's going to stay in school.

A chance opportunity changes everything. Austin impresses the foreman and lands a job, but even more, he catches the eye of David Becker, who is determined to teach him that true love doesn't come with strings.

The only thing David had as a child was love. His family struggled to keep food on the table and a roof over their heads. That has driven him to stay focused on his goals, become a tenured professor at a university, and save enough money to build a home of his own. It's not until he sees an insecure college student working on his new house that he realizes he hasn't planned on someone to share his life with. He's about to learn that everything he's already accomplished is nothing compared to the task of making Austin see that he is worthy of love.

I'm not normally a romance reader, so I was a little skeptical at first. But I had a friend recommend Sloan Johnson's books. Then I noticed Teach Me was available for audiobook.

I was a huge fan of how Sloan portrayed Austin's world being on the streets.

And why David saw something in Austin. She had reasons for their actions and I couldn't get enough. Now I noticed that Dance with Destiny is available, I have not read it or any other of Sloan's work before this one but I will now. And any future books Christopher Rain produces.

Thank you.

Even non romance readers will love it!

What did you love best about Teach Me?

The storyline kept you intrigued throughout

What other book might you compare Teach Me to and why?

Not really any it had such a unique quality about it I can't compare

Have you listened to any of Christopher Rain’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This one was a first and I have since downloaded others because he did such a great job

If you could rename Teach Me, what would you call it?

Nothing it was perfect

Any additional comments?

Very well written and easy to follow that characters grabbed you in and didn't let go. To say I lost sleep listening is an understatement I loved it and will recommend it to everyone. The narrator has done a wonderful job. It was well versed and easy flow not choppy like others I have listened to

Amazing Story

First, this book has a satisfying HEA and Epilogue!
The premise of this book originally drew me in, especially since I'm a sap for age gap and hurt/comfort tropes, but I had a hard time getting into this story for a few reasons:
- It was hard for me to connect with and truly root for the MCs. Austin: there's naive and then there's Austin. David: he's 35 going on 65+.
- I feel the development and believability of the relationship would have benefited from having the attraction build from insta-lust or insta-love, but it felt kind of lop-sided with only David having stronger feelings from the start.
- I couldn't invest in all the drama surrounding Casey.
- The narration was closer to dictation than a performance, but I didn't mind it since his enunciation was clear enough for me to listen at 2.5x speed without issue.

Good Epilogue

Austin had everything. A loving family, fancy trips, and college paid for... until he told his family he was gay. his dad took him to the bus with only the clothes n his back, no money, cut off his savings and accounts, took his car, and stopped paying tuition. so Austin is all on his own, He meets a couple of street people that take him in and showtime the ins and outs and how you can legally make some money to survive.
David has had to work for everything he has achieved ad proud of it, He is a professor and building his own home. When he meets the newest hire sparks fly but he feels he is holding secrets. needing nourishing, David sips him food and tries to make sure he has plenty of work.
will their secret crush their budding friendship?
Sloan Johnson writes some of the best character-driven stories, His characters are deep and realistic, and relatable. the story with a bit of angst but spectacular endings.
If you like age gap, professor-student, friends to lovers, good characters, and an allover hot romance you will like his,

The narration was Ok I think with practice and feedback it will improve. his voice is smooth and says to listen to but I like emphasis on character voice and personality

Christopher Rain did a great job with the narration. I was able to hear the age difference between the two MC’s.

I was slightly annoyed with Austin...he kept acting so childish, I don’t know how David put up with him!

Overall the story is about believing you deserve to be loved. That’s something we can all stand to learn.

I loved reading Teach Me and when I found out that it was available for audible I had to buy it! The narrator Christopher Rain portrayed Austin and David's characters exactly how I I hoped they would be.

I also bought Dance with Destiny, with my free subscription free audiobook, which is another Christopher Rain narration and written by Sloan Johnson. Loved it and will continue to buy their audiobooks.

A must listen, will be a repeat customer

This is a tale about learning to see the true you and that sometimes you need a bit of help. David and Austin's story reminds us that overcoming obstacles can happen if you just get out of your own way. Thoroughly enjoyed this book and recommend...

Sloan Johnson blew me away with her writing. This story will make you feel so many different emotions. Austin is a young gay man who is devastated by the way his father treated him. David is an older man who is instantly drawn to Austin. He is kind and allows Austin to set his pace with their romance. This will not be an easy journey and there will be bumps along the way. Austin must learn to love himself and trust again. They will also have to realize that communication is the key to their success. I love the friendship that develops between the street couple and Austin. The epilogue will have the listener smiling.

Christopher Rain did an excellent job of making the listener experience the emotions of these characters, thereby bringing the story to life. He made the story flow smoothly along and captured my attention throughout the entire story. He is an excellent storyteller and made this an enjoyable listening experience. I highly recommend this Audible book.

Heart-wrenching and heartwarming
