(Teach Me is Part 3 of The Summer of Secrets Series. It is a 30k-word novella, and can be read as a complete standalone, or as the third part of the interconnected series.)Despite being the eldest sister, Elizabeth “Sophie” Bordeau’s relationship with rules has always been rocky, at best. At seventeen, she lost her parents and inherited a life of responsibility she wasn’t ready for. At twenty, … responsibility she wasn’t ready for.
At twenty, she ran away from it all.
Now, at twenty-eight, she’s back to try to mend old wounds.
But when an unexpected connection from her past walks into her classroom, she has to decide whether she’s finished with her rule-breaking ways once and for all, or if Sloane Callahan is worth one last walk on the reckless side.

I finished this book a few days ago and have been trying to figure out how to word this review. If you know me, you know I’m not all about age gap romances. You will notice, though, I gave this book 5 stars. The reason for this is because Sloane and Sophie are friends. “Sloane is more than a lover. He is a friend.” The focus isn’t on the taboo of the gap, the focus is on the things that their friendship help them work through about themselves. Sophie ran away from her issues so long ago but was that really the right thing to do? While Sloane has had a crush on Sophie since he was younger, his infatuation grows to be so much more than that while they have their secret summer together. As the end of summer nears, Sophie must decide if she really wants to run away again or if her love for Sloane will make her stay. Jen’s words flow like a beautiful poem just like I knew they would.
It was nice to see that just because Sophie was the oldest didnt mean that she should get her book first. Having been able to read all three stories one right after the other was so great and so enjoyable and really amazing to see three different authors take on a character and have all three mesh so well. This trio did an awesome job.
Wow this book was amazing I absolutely loved the last one it was amazing and so glad I got to read them
Teach Me is the 3rd and final novella in The Summer Of Secrets book with 3 stories about 3 sisters during one summer.
Sophie Bordeau is the oldest of the Bordeau sisters and she is the rebel with a cause. After running from her life in the small beachy hometown, she is ready to return and stake her claim within her family…she thinks. But when a guy catches her eye, everything may turn her world upside down.
Sloane may be much younger, but he seems to carry a mature and calm way about himself and maybe, just maybe he will have a thing or two to teach the older and experienced Sophie.
3 sisters that kept secrets from one another for the summer led them to figure out themselves and what they wanted out of their lives. I think having Sophie’s story the final one wrapped up everything so seamlessly and in a way that was perfect. From youngest to oldest, each sister was very different in their approach of how they handled life, loss and love. J.R. Rogue knows how to write an older woman and younger man, but she went out and started it out with a WOW with these two. I almost didn’t have time to take a breath, but these two warranted something fast, hot and fresh. All I want is more of them and to experience more of Jen’s beautifully vivid imagination when it comes to these two characters.
While I hadn’t read the previous two authors before, I had read Jen’s and she is what originally drew me to this particular book. She took on two types of characters that are somewhat familiar, but she put a whole new HOT spin on it and I was totally here for it.
If you’re looking for an end of the summer read, check out these 3 Novellas. You will not be disappointed!
I enjoyed this book more for Sloan. He is young but at least he is more put together than Sophie. Sophie took awhile to warm up too.
This is the last one in this series and about the rebellious sister Elizabeth. She took off and went to school. She comes back and takes a teaching job at the school in town. While there is runs into Sloane her ex’s (high school sweetheart no less) step brother. Intense sparks off the charts chemistry. Will she give in to him? Another interesting one that hooks you right from the start to the finish. I loved this one and the characters. A great storyline that I couldn’t put down
This is the 3rd book in these quick read novellas, and is Elizabeth “Sophia’s” story. Sophia is the eldest of the 3 sisters, and was handed the reigns of responsibility at a young age, from which she ran away from after a couple of years. Now she is back in her hometown as well, and when Sloane, someone from her past walks into her class room, she has to decide if her own happiness is worth the risk.
The oldest sister Sophie had alot going on, struggling with her own demons and is so different from her other sisters.l, I liked the way she thinks and her feeling are so real and meeting Sloane with an age gap was more delicious. Sloane was very grown up for his age but so so perfect for Sophie. I loved all the sisters and this one tied it together perfectly.
Sophie and Sloane takes you on an emotional roller coaster of the why’s and how’s of what they have gone thur. Each word that you read will pull you in a little more to understand what Sophie has gone thur till you understand. Amazing, heartfelt, and its shows you that no matter what with time and love anything is possible. Will definitely read more from this author
