Chronicle In Favor Of Books Learning from Isaac (Tarnished Souls #1)
It’s hard to break out of a rut. For years, Nathan submerged himself into his job at St. Genevieve’s. He enjoys teaching, hates faculty meetings, loves his science and has committed himself to the cycle of college life. Along the way, he's become resigned to being a gay man in a straight culture, a Jew among Catholics, and single in a world of couples. Then the brilliant Isaac Wolf appears in his classroom. Isaac’s a few years older than his fellow students, gorgeous, self-composed and Jewish.Isaac has his own secrets, which Nathan finds out at the racy new club downtown where the boys who dance out front can be bought in the back room. Nathan thinks he’s about to get a lap dance, but behind the beaded curtain the man on his knees turns out to be Isaac. Nathan's mind isn't the only thing Isaac blows. Afterward, Nathan can't stop thinking about that night. The question is whether Nathan can let himself fall in love with a student, much less someone with Isaac’s checkered past. Is it too late for a student to teach his professor the true nature of love and respect?
This is a revised, author’s edition of the first Tarnished Souls story, originally published in 2012 by Loose Id.
Publisher's Note: This book contains graphic imagery of men having sex together. And enjoying it. However, the story is primarily a romance. Don’t be disappointed if you read pages and pages and pages without encountering acts, organs or orgasms.

This is the second book I've read by this author and once again, I really enjoyed the journey. In this story we have a professor and a student, but their relationship does not follow any sort of traditional route. Nathan has a wonderful mother, a good job at the college and a non-existent love life. Then Isaac Wolf walks into his classroom. I felt for Isaac trying to make his way in the world after being disowned by his parents when he comes out. While his choices wouldn't have been everyone's,Well it seems that once again I'm not on the same wavelength, as most of the readers )))I for one, loved Nathan a great deal. I loved his part self-ironical and part self-deprecating POV, I loved his attitude about his profession and his relationships with the students. He's definitely a good guy in my books, but he has flaws, he's not perfect, obviously, but that makes him interesting as a character.I didn't blame him for his first 'encounter' with Isaac in the club. He was drunk and lonely,
In this era of endless series and sequels, it's refreshing to find a whole swag of standalones.It means the author has to come up with fresh characters, plot and setting each time. Not easy. But very rewarding when it is done well.While on the surface this is a series because at least one of the heroes is Jewish and the observance of religion at some point touches on the story, the only other connecting link is that the world they live in is loosely interlinked. So if characters from other books
3.5 stars for me on this one. It was well written and very sweet. I am also a sucker for rent boys which was what drew me in to this story in the first place. There is a big age gap between the characters, but that didn't bother me much. There were a few things that didn't quite jive along the way or seemed really unrealistic, but, overall, this was a nice, enjoyable read for me.
I love this authors work and have read many of her books. This is a mm contemporary story set in the USA. Age gap and sex worker. Loved it and wish it was longer. Nathan and Isaac are amazing together.
**2.5 stars**I can't quite explain why I didn't like this one. I liked some parts, but others didn't work at all. Note that my knowledge of Jewish customs or aquatic/environmental studies is close to zero, but this had nothing to do with not liking the book.The writing put me off at first. The first person POV was monotonous and the dialogue was almost non existent. It got better later, but I never managed to fully connect.The story is told exclusively from Nathan's, the professor, POV. I really
I really like books that have a major age difference (as long as both characters are legal) and I'm big on the professor/student angle so I knew when I saw the description that this was my type of book. I also like the fact that Isaac was a prostitute working to pay his way through college. All of that was good and it was a very good story.But......What I did not like about the book is Nathan. He is a college professor who doesn't exactly teach something that I personally would call overly
