McLain's Last Chance #1
Unlovable
A professor, his student, and a trip they'll never forget...
Taggart: The hook-up app was a last resort, to get me over the grief from my last breakup--to get over this idea that I can't be loved. But I never would've downloaded it, if I'd known it was going to match me to one of my students...let alone the son of the head of my department. But that's okay, as long as I never see Jet outside of class again, I should be fine, right?
At least, until Jet's dad sends me on a mission to rescue a rare species, and decides Jet needs to go with me, as a character-building lesson.
Jet: Tag is everything I'm not. He's serious, grounded, and mysteriously sad. He's so different from the shallow boys around me, the frenemies I've surrounded myself with whose drama is exhausting me. But nothing can happen between us. My dad would flip out if he knew.
But once we're in the mountains together, things change. I can't stop pushing until I learn what makes Tag tick, but then it's too late, the feelings are too real to hide.
How are we going to tell my dad?
A Student-Teacher Gay Romance.

I liked this book!
I liked this book. I liked how Tag and Jet meet and hookup. Tag wasn't expecting the guy he hooked up with to be the Dean of his department's son or that he was in his biology class. All of which Tag could work around so that he doesn't get fired but when his Dean sends him on a retrieval mission to acquire a rare salamander from Tag's home town he also sends his son with him as a character building type thing and neither of them can keep their hands off of each other. I liked how the book progressed and how they dealt with Jet's father. I can't wait to read the next book in the series. I read an advanced reader copy of this book.

PLEASE READ MY RATING SYSTEM!!!
To my ratings:
5* - very very good and rare (it would be a Blow-
Away-book like
‘Jesse's Smile' or ‚Joey’ from Angelique Jurd,
‘Save the kids' series from EM Leya,
‘Love’s Tethered Heart’ from C.L. Etta or
'Liberty' from Seth King),
it's like an A+
4* - very good and will be often reread and is a
WOW-book with interesting plot and surprises
(like most of Andrew Grey books and
Davidson Kings 'Haven Hart'-series)
it's like an A
3,5* - a really good book, which will be reread a few
times a year (most romances where you can
enjoy for relaxing and during waiting times in
hospitals). I can recommend them definitively!
It's like an B+
3* - it could be more then a one-time-reader,
maybe 2-3 times a year. It’s like a B
2* - it was ok to read, but it's more a one-time-
reader (i wouldn't recommend it heartily, but
it was ok). It's like a C-, D
1* - sorry, but that isn't really a book for me (too
many mistakes, not nice plot, illogical, so an
absolut NO-GO). It's like failure in the whole
line, dismissed, repeat the class

A bit of the taboo with this teacher/student romance. That said, the story really doesn't have a taboo feel to it. Don't get me wrong, there is still drama surrounding the issue, but not quite in the way you'd think. I really liked the dynamic between this pair. Jet is young and has a reputation as a playboy who takes nothing seriously, including relationships, while Tag is the serious professor who has been burned by love and given up on anything more than a hookup. Despite all of that, Jet comes across as the more emotionally mature when feelings enter the picture and the relationship is threatened. Their roles are almost reversed at that point, which serves to add an extra layer to these wonderful characters. The story is a great combination of sexy and sweet. It does have its fair share of angst, but those angsty parts are tempered with witty dialogue and Tag's quirky family that I'm hoping to see more of as the series progresses. All in all, a great start to a promising series.

A one-night stand that becomes a relationship between two men who really, really shouldn't :P
Truly interesting characters, particularly Taggart's family who come across as a really strong, supportive family. The age gap and the student/teacher relationship makes the romance difficult for Taggart and Jet, but the attraction (and let's be honest, Jet's stubbornness) makes it hard to resist.
As always with Ms Kane, the writing is engaging and once you begin to read, you can't stop. A lovely romance =D

Unlovable is the first in the McLain's Last Chance series. One snarky college student who is just trying to find himself and not deal with all the drama in his life, crappy parent and horrible friends and one college professor recovering from a broken relationship. Then add in some crazy cousins that know what it means to have your back and you have one great story. Tag and Jet are just two lost souls that should work but do.
I voluntarily read an advanced copy of this book.

What was supposed to be a one night stand becomes a relationship between teacher Taggart 39 and student Jet 21. With Jets dad who's also Tag's boss interfering, an elusive Salamander and a crazy mountain man with a gun can the relationship survive for these interesting characters who both believe they're unloveable.
Taggart's family are crazy but supportive and are great secondary characters!
Best line in the Book - 'Like, bundle me up and buy me a Happy Meal, daddy. 😂

I relate to Taggart as Taggart relates to vanishing species.
Rachel Kane knows my soul. Characters like Taggart are so like me except I don't have the soulmate yet. Because Tag & Jet are soulmates & I loved their story.

An unusual relationship, salamanders and conflicting family. This was an interesting mix.

This was a nice to start this series. Tag and Jet and the introduction to the McLain family made for an enjoyable read.
