I admit I was hooked by the cover, (Just look at that!😜) But I stayed for the story, I did.😁
This was a taboo read with sizzling chemistry between the MCs. Whenever they were together it was just really explosive, their erotic rendezvous were super passionate. At the same time, it was heartwarming and tender.
I love both Ashley and Taylor, they were fleshed out well, delightful, and strong in their own ways. Details on their names and birthdays were cute too. There were some twists in the story and It's good that it wasn't overly heavy. The Hea they got more than made up for all their time waiting "to do the right thing." In the end, it was really just all about love.🥰

245 Days is a sizzling hot charmer of a love story. I don’t know how she does it but Ms. Peterson writes swoon-worthy chemistry like nobody’s business and I could not put down this delicious story! Taylor and Ashley are insanely sexy, their lust-at-first-sight is heart pounding stuff and their journey is poignant and beautiful.
Everything about these guys had me falling hard. Taylor’s lack of experience is adorable, but he is oh, so far from naive. He’s intelligent, level-headed, mature, and knows what he wants. And what he wants is Ashley. He is every bit as dominant as Ashley but, rather than cause conflict, it only serves to intensify this already off the charts relationship. Yowza, these two are perfect for each other! Despite the nerdy professor vibe, Ashley is far from a nerd. He’s sophisticated, dreamy and once the horned rimmed glasses come off he’s HOT and knows how to use it.
Fantastic characters, amazing chemistry, a compelling story with quite a few surprises...245 Days has it all. And the epilogue is the icing on the cake!

Well, both men are perfect. They have perfect sex, perfect talks, perfect temperaments. Each other's bodies feel perfect to each other. One lost his v-card to the other in a perfect way, with no pain, on a perfect getaway weekend. The big conflict in the story (professor dating a student) blew over perfectly. Homophobic parents turned into perfectly accepting parents. Everyone is perfectly happy at the end.
What a bore. (Aside from the perfectly hot sex--which was plentiful)

When you know, you know! Such sizzling chemistry just can't be avoided!

Ashley and Taylor get hooked on eachother from the very first moment their eyes meet... the second time seals the deal... they just know that they are meant to be! On their third encounter though they realise they are in really deep waters, facing eachother as Professor and Student!!! Having to wait 245 days till graduation is a struggle for two men who undo eachother. A scorching hot M/M forbidden romance which combines a whole lot of sexiness, a very taboo situation along with a bit of mystery and adventure. Can these two make it through all the obtacles they face? 5 Sweet and Loving Stars for a couple which was brought together by unusual coincidences!

OMG. It's literally 3 am and I just finished the book. I couldn't stop. I just could not put it down to sleep. I'm going to be exhausted tomorrow but it was so worth it. I fell in love with Ashley and Taylor. I loved their connection. I could just FEEL it. I loved the story and the way it built, there was a great pace, not too fast, but I was never bored. I felt like things were building and building and then BOOM out of left field came a problem I wasn't expecting. The things I did expect to blow up, didn't so much. Which was great because at about 60% I thought my heart is f*cked. Isabelle's going to kill me. But she didn't! I loved the chemistry of the characters, even with the secondary characters. I do hope maybe we get to hear Liv and Tripp's story?? (hint hint) Over all a great MM story that I definitely recommend and plan to read again myself. Bravo!

‘245 Days’ by Isabella Peterson is a sizzling forbidden romance between a teacher and his gorgeous, cant-get-enough-off student with a very sugary sweet happy ending.
This is my first read by this author and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The romance was sweet, hot, exciting with a dash of dread/anxiety as the couple try to keep their relationship on the DL until the 245 days of being a teacher-student are over.
Ashley and Taylor were great and engaging characters who fall hard and fast for each other. They know that their relationship could create major problems for both and they try to be strong and stay apart but the feelings/emotions never dwindles an iota. I loved when they sneaked off once in a while and made the most of the moment. There are no dramatic getting-caught twists here so that kind of worked for the couple. But it was not all smooth-sailing. There are a few scares they have to power through but the ending was worth it all.
This story was not very angsty or filled with overwhelming drama but it works as a very engaging and enjoyable romance. Ashley and Taylor fit together perfectly and their pull for each other was palpable throughout the pages. Ashley is very sensitive and supportive of Taylor whereas Taylor is just completely smitten with his sexy professor. They had to rein in a whole lotta feels and emotions until the days were over and that made their romantic gateways for however long they could manage, so much more scintillating and perfect!
Taylor is a ___ (fill in the blanks!) so you can expect some hot and heavy passion-filled moments that will scorch the pages*wink*
Taylor’s family is another major aspect in the story. There is a complex and painful story involved here which unravels along with the romance. I disliked them at the start but they redeem themselves very nicely as secrets come out and they try their best to support Ashley and Taylor.
Overall, this is a very enjoyable college/forbidden romance which does not necessarily have a predictable climax of them getting caught. Ashley and Taylor had an unconventional start but their love was strong and solid. It still prevailed in all its heart-warming glory as seen in the amazing epilogue which was ‘PICTURE-PERFECT’!

I went into this book a little leery. This isn't my main genre, though I've read quite a few m/m. Most have left me somewhat unsatisfied and reluctant to read more in the genre, however I can never resist a student/teacher story for some reason. I'm a sucker for that forbidden love so I took a chance on this one and I was so pleasantly surprised and glad that I did. It blew all the others I've read out of the water and therefore it gets 5 stars from me! The depth of these characters and the emotions really made me feel this story. It was intense and raw and just angsty enough to make it un-put-down-able, because I had to know what was going to happen next. The love that grew between Ashley and Taylor felt genuine and natural, it was a great balance of sweet and sexy. Thank you Isabelle for such a wonderful story!

I loved Ashley and Taylor's story. Ashley is a professor trying not to date his student,or lose his job . Taylor, a college student, is a young man who still wants his parents' approval and is afraid of losing their love and support. Ashley and Taylor's attraction to each other is undeniable and makes their relationship complicated. As you would probably guess, like any new relationship, things get HOT! I could've easily kept reading about these two characters!
Isabelle has that talent for pulling a reader in and getting them hooked quickly on the characters, like they are your friends you're reading about. I have enjoyed all of Izzy's books and can't wait for another one!

This is a wonderful, descriptive and well developed book. The characters TJ and Ashley make you fall in love with them. Their fight to be togther showed that love can really conquer all.. The title 245 days is significantly in that, it is the exact amount of days that these two must wiat ot be with each other, Ashley is TJ's professor and the university has very strict rules against professor/ student relationship so in order to be together they must wait until TJ graduates. TJ also has to reveal to his parents (his mother ena stepfather) that is he is gay. This is a very complex and emotional struglle for him. He has to keep a part of his life a secret because he feels he's not ready for his parents to disown him (due to his parents views he just knows that once he tells them he will no longer be welcomed in his family). If you need a feel good book, a book that makes you believe in love again, a book that will take you on a journey to sow that sometimes the wait can be worth it; this is the book for you. It is a very quick read as the story coninuously flow and will keep you engage. I totally recoomend that you read this story. Isabelle Peterson this was a great book.

I think that M/M is my favourite genre, along with teacher/student. Bonus! Both wrapped up in one awesome book.
I am a huge fan of Isabelle Peterson's, she's never let me down in all of her books.
You get all the feels in this story, the anxiety of a new relationship, the stress of anyone finding out and the pull of the emotions when you just know.. You just KNOW, you've found 'the one.' You get the hold your breath moments too #drama, and you also get the hot stuff... lots of H O T stuff. Super sexy.
Ashley and Taylor are just perfect. I'm totally in love with them. Taylor's best friend Livvy is fabulous.
This is yet another example of a must read book.
So, what are you waiting for?

Taylor is a student that will be graduating after he completed his Sr year. He is also in the closet and to me a person looking to please his parents and wanting their approval. He is sweet, kind, smart, caring and I could go on.
Ashley is a hot, nerdy professor, who likes to stick to the rules and avoid any dating with students. He is smart, caring , kind and overall a man I would love in my life
From the first time they meet there is an instant connection and strong chemistry. This chemistry is off the charts.
I felt connection, the struggle to be apart, the risks they were taking, and the love they found in each other. I could NOT put this book down.
Of course there are some things that happen along the way that is not planned but they stay strong to their will to be together which only makes them a better couple.
I loved this book and felt instantly a love for the characters. I loved the secondary characters also. I would love a supportive friend like Olivia.
Five stars from me and I don't reread books often but this is one I might just have to because I felt a connection to the characters. Kudos Isabelle

M/M books are not normally my genre but when the author is Isabelle Petersen how can I pass up the opportunity.
This is a student/professor story and Ashley and Taylor have to hold on for 245 days in order for Ashley to not lose his job.
When they initially meet they do not realize that they will be seeing each other shortly in the classroom. The book takes you through the whole semester and how they handle their relationship.
Both Ashley and Taylor are likeable. I enjoyed the epilogue and knowing Ms. Petersen, perhaps we will see Ashley and Taylor in one of her future publications.

Taylor meets Ashley at the local bar they hit it off and Taylor has the best night of his life. They surprise comes when he goes to class the next day and Ashley is his teacher. They now have 245 until they could be together.
This book takes you through the 245 days from the beginning to the end of the semester. How they decide to handle their relationship and all the issues that come about in a teacher student relationship. It also deals with dealing with your family and coming out, and the ramifications that could come about in this situation.
This was well written and you just want them to endue happy together.

Taylor and Ashley...what can I say? They grab you by the heart and hold on. You will fall in love. A story about forbidden love told in a new way. It is endearing and funny. If you enjoy angst and hope and love, this MM romance is for you!

This is my first book by Isabelle Peterson.
I am a lover of Student/Teacher Romance and M/M, so when I Heard about this one I voluntary asked for this for a review.
Even when the only complicated thing about their relationship was the fact they were Student/Teacher I enjoyed the book.
Ashley and Taylor meet (2 times) before the s/t thing and from the very first meeting their chemistry is strong.
Loved the characters, I something, while reading M/M fin done of the characters like “too girly” I want to read about to strong MEN! But this one, both of the characters were MEN MEN! Both fighting for their dreams (individually and as couple) always supporting each other.
Ashley is professor that loooves to teach and after finding who Taylor is, He is afraid of losing his job. Taylor is not like other student characters dating their teacher that are inmature and childish, he knows exactly what he wants and go after it, and after finding who Ashley is, he doesn’t want him to lose everything he had worked so hard.
The story is sweet, hot and sexy! Nothing bored; I was hooked from the very beginning, sex when needed, explanations when needed and sweet “building” when needed.
And just to TOP the epilogue was BEAUTIFUL and soooo much needed for my heart. Gonna be honest and wanted a little more of that but well, that was enough.
I want to read this one for the first time again.

I absolutely LOVE The Dream Series by Isabelle Peterson! So, when I heard about her new book, 245 Days, I was counting the days, like Taylor and Ashley, until I got my hands on it!
First, I must say that I love their names… absolutely love them! The characters are so well developed, and I became attached to them very quickly! The storyline was so much more than just a steamy forbidden student/teacher relationship. The twists and turns kept me gripping my Kindle late into the night. Not only did 245 Days have an excellent storyline, but it also had so many hot and steamy sex scenes. It’s definitely one of my favorites for 2017!

I love a MM romance and this was my first read by Isabelle Peterson. Reading the blurb I figured it was a mild sort of forbidden romance.
Taylor and Ashley are both gay - but what they don't know upon meeting is that Taylor is to be Ashley's student in his final year of college. Of course, there is an instant attraction which they then have to fight against for 245 Days - until Taylor's graduation.
Throughout the story we meet a variety of characters who are totally comfortable with gay people (such as Taylor's best friend, Liv, who is someone you could imagine being friends with in real life!) and those who are not (such as Taylor's step dad, Mike). Totally relatable to in real life, of course, and it adds a good dimension to the story.
I was a little disappointed when they gave into the attraction before the 245 Days was up, as it felt like the story was going to drag from then and I kind of felt a bit deflated by the whole concept. But holy hotness! The sex scenes were a-ma-zing, especially their first encounter!
There were some unexpected turns in this book too, and it had some added drama towards the end - like woah, didn't see that coming!
It was only at the end that the true significance of 245 Days shone through, but I really enjoyed reading this. True love always prevails, and this is actually a beautiful love story.

I am a huge fan of this author and of the whole M/M romance genre and she has yet again come out with another hit! This book was filled with angst, passion, and swoon worthy moments and I was captivated the whole way through. I could not put this book down!
Ashley and Taylor only have eyes for one another the first time they meet, the second time the chemistry between the two is off the charts hot, and their third encounter brings them into deep water when they realize that not only are they student and teacher at the same college, but that Ashley is Taylor's teacher in particular. In 245 days, Taylor will graduate and they can finally be together, but can they even wait that long?! And what happens in that time? Waiting till graduation to be together is definitely a struggle for these two who absolutely undo one another. This was a scorching hot forbidden M/M student/teacher romance that is filled with off the charts chemistry, a taboo relationship, and a whole lot of angst and suspense at what will happen to these two lovebirds. What obstacles will these two face in 245 days and will they end up together? I was rooting for this couple to get their happy ending and I give this unlikely book and incredible story 5 stars!

First let me say that 245 Days is a MM romance, so if this offends you, then this is not the book for you.
A chance meeting while trying on jeans and being admired by a good looking man, even a little flirty comment and wink. Taylor goes back in the changing room a little breathless.
While sitting at the bar, The Library, Ashley turns down the advances of an egotistical man while looking across the bar and spotting the young man he flirted with at the store in the mall. What were the chances?? This time, he makes a move.
Taylor is sitting with his best friend, Olivia, who is noticing the looks that Taylor is getting from Ashley. After Olivia leaves the table, Ashley comes over and there is still that immediate chemistry between the 2 of them. Taylor and Ashley really connect and attempt an interlude a little later in the evening but before anything major happens, it is revealed that Taylor is still a virgin. Ashley halts the night and they set up a date for the Friday night. But the next day, B.A.M. They find out that Ashley is the Professor of Taylor's Business Class. They meet up again and discuss how they are attracted to each other and don't want to end. So they decide to wait until Taylor graduates before they make their developing relationship public which is where the 245 days comes into play. Oh but what happens behind closed doors is, well just read the book, LOL!!!
Did I make you interested yet?? This is what I love about 245 Days:
1. Teacher/Student relationsip (college)
2. Great storyline with a romance
3. Smoking hot MM sex scenes
4. MY MUST- An HEA
I absolutely love this story. This is the 2nd MM book I have read by Isabelle. I love the way she builds the relationship between the 2 characters. The story has friendship, laughter, romance, sex, and there is even some drama. The secondary characters were an enjoyable part of the storyline, the coming out of the closet to his parents was definitely handled very well.
Take a chance and read this story if you love romance and hot sex scenes. Note again, this is MM.
I won a copy of this book in a Facebook party and this is my honest review.
A chance meeting while trying on jeans and being admired by a good looking man, even a little flirty comment and wink. Taylor goes back in the changing room a little breathless.
While sitting at the bar, The Library, Ashley turns down the advances of an egotistical man while looking across the bar and spotting the young man he flirted with at the store in the mall. What were the chances?? This time, he makes a move.
Taylor is sitting with his best friend, Olivia, who is noticing the looks that Taylor is getting from Ashley. After Olivia leaves the table, Ashley comes over and there is still that immediate chemistry between the 2 of them. Taylor and Ashley really connect and attempt an interlude a little later in the evening but before anything major happens, it is revealed that Taylor is still a virgin. Ashley halts the night and they set up a date for the Friday night. But the next day, B.A.M. They find out that Ashley is the Professor of Taylor's Business Class. They meet up again and discuss how they are attracted to each other and don't want to end. So they decide to wait until Taylor graduates before they make their developing relationship public which is where the 245 days comes into play. Oh but what happens behind closed doors is, well just read the book, LOL!!!
Did I make you interested yet?? This is what I love about 245 Days:
1. Teacher/Student relationsip (college)
2. Great storyline with a romance
3. Smoking hot MM sex scenes
4. MY MUST- An HEA
I absolutely love this story. This is the 2nd MM book I have read by Isabelle. I love the way she builds the relationship between the 2 characters. The story has friendship, laughter, romance, sex, and there is even some drama. The secondary characters were an enjoyable part of the storyline, the coming out of the closet to his parents was definitely handled very well.

I'll admit I had some preconceived misgivings on how this book would play out but I'm thrilled to say i was wrong because this book was a wonderful read and written beautifully. The plot twists even had me surprised at times.
Very sweet, the bond though fast felt organic and real. Sex was detailed but not as explicit as several books I've read. Charlotte and Phil was a cute surprise as was Olivia as a secondary character. Matt was built as a villain that i wanted to sympathize with, and yet run far far away from. I was proud of how Mike and even Taylor's mom grew, and the truth behind Mike and his becoming a professor was a fun little twist that also explained plenty.
I can't wait to read more of Isabelle's books because this one was so good, so sweet and the plot twist at the epilogue had me shedding happy tears. Go grab your copy today.

I think I fell for Ashley and Taylor in 245 seconds. I love the m/m genre and absolutely enjoyed 245 Days. This sweet and sexy student/teacher romance was everything I hoped it would be. Amazing epilogue.

Once again, another book from Isabelle that is completely AMAZING! I could not stop reading! I literally would have been done with the book within a few hours if my kindle did not die on me!
The characters are so easy to fall in love with! The story was set at a good pace, I was never bored with it. Some points I was very nervous, thinking OMG what is going to happen next! I also loved the multiple 245 days :)
I truly hope there is a second book, maybe with Olivia and Tripp so we can see how the future looks with Ashley and Taylor!!!

245 Days by Isabelle Peterson is a wonderfully descriptive and emotional book that is all about love...just plain love...in whatever form it takes. Love of parent and child, love of really good friends, love of a man for a woman and the love of two men. TJ has known for a long time that he is gay, but has never officially come out to anyone but his bestie Liv. He has had short term relationships but nothing that he would care to even think about much less remember. Ashley has been out and has the support of his family. He is wealthy and hot, in a nerdy kind of way. He has had relationships but longs for that true, once in a blue moon love. When the two meet, sparks fly and both feel like they may have found the one. That is until they find out that Ashley is TJ's professor. These two have 245 days ahead of them that they must stay apart or Ashley's career could be blown out of the water. I loved watching (reading??) these two learn about each other, connect is so many different ways and connect with other people in their lives through their growth.

Holy bananas if you like m/m and this is the author for you I don't have ever read this type of story that she betrays everyone for books I like how she gives you scenarios in every way just so much feeling and emotion put into these books the only thing that I don't like that I want more and I can have it

I did not enjoy this story. I felt like it was completely implausible in a lot of ways and totally unbelievable in a lot of others.
*The characters didn't feel like they were well fleshed out.
*The circumstances surrounding the relationship were largely inane.
*The story skipped around time jumping constantly.
*Every obstacle worked out and sometimes in a completely unbelievable manner.
I did like some of the characters, I just wish they would have been fleshed out more and that the story premise had made more sense to me.
This didn't work for me for the most part, but I'm in the minority...so take it with a grain of salt.

Holy hotness! These poor guys trying to survive 245 days of secrecy. I can't imagine what that would be like & I don't think I'd hold up as well as them. Fabulous book, I highly recommend it. The book is full of risks & hurdles these guys have to endure. Just when you think they're going to make it okay something else comes up & they're blown back. It definitely kept my attention .
I have read every book by this author to date & loved every single one.
