Front Range University Book 4: Beautifully Complicated by Michele Lenard

 

Front Range University Book 4

Timing is everything.

You know the guy everyone loves in a strictly platonic manner? The one that people think is nice and funny and smart, but not in a romantic way?

That’s me.

What’s worse, not even my formerly straight best friend and current roommate, who I’ve had a crush on for years, saw me as anything other than his buddy.

I blame myself, sort of. If I’d just been brave enough to tell him how I felt, maybe I’d have been the one to help him realize he liked men. That’s why I decided to be bold. To put myself out there if I was interested in someone. So when I found myself sitting next to a man whose life and career I greatly admire, I figured why not.

Kier Caldwell is a leader in the computer science field, and his work is the inspiration for my own professional aspirations. Plus, he’s gorgeous. Even more so in person than on his book cover. And despite being a decade older than me, we’re on the same wavelength. So much so that he invites me back to his room for the most incredible night of my life.
That’s all it was supposed to be. After all, he’s a famous author, and I’m a college student, not Cinderella.

But several months later, when I report to work as a research assistant for a new professor, I find myself face-to-face with the man whose bed I snuck out of so I wouldn’t have to say goodbye. And I learn he’s been searching for me the whole time.

Too bad we’re not in a Disney movie, because if my Prince Charming is also my boss, that means he’s strictly off limits.

**Beautifully Complicated is a high-heat, forbidden MM romance between a student and the professor he works for. It’s a medium angst one-night turned more love story with a bit of an age gap, a little humor, a lot of swooning, and spice. This is book four in a series of interconnected standalones.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

Finally it’s Aiden’s turn! The guy has been surrounded by couples and it is finally his turn to find his happy ending. Aiden has never admitted it to anyone, but he has had feelings for his best friend for a long time. But he never told him because his friend was sure he was straight and never showed signs of having feelings beyond friendship for Aiden. But then Bennet gets a boyfriend and Aiden can’t help but be hurt over it. For never taking a chance, for never speaking up. But then everything changes when he meets Kier. Kier who is at the top of his field and one Aiden working hard to join. But when they meet at a bar, Aiden decides he doesn’t want to know the professional version of Kier, he wants to real Kier. The connection between them is undeniable and they have one night that proves to be so much more. But Aiden leaves before either can suggest for more. Months later, Aiden finds himself in front of Kier who has come to the university to teach and Aiden was asked to be his research assistant. Kier has been thinking of Aiden for months and has been hoping to see him again but not like this. They know they can’t be more than professional with one another. But as each day passes, their restraint is tested a little bit more. Because the truth of it all is, they love one another and know that this thing between can be so much more. Loved these two! Aiden has finally met his perfect match. It’s so clear that these two understand one another in ways no one else can. It takes them a bit to give in to their feelings but the wait is well worth it!
