This is the fourth book in the Ciccone Brothers series. The first 2 were prequels (Papa’s and Kenley’s stories) and Book 1 was Easton’s story.

This is Ashton AKA Baby’s story. Baby is college student and Ivy is a Criminology professor and is married to the District Attorney who has a vendetta against Baby’s family.

This is a mafia student teacher romance. You meet more of the Ciccone’s family get more insight of their dynamic and tragedies.

Definitely twist and turns and leave off in a cliffhanger. I can’t wait for Book 3 Dance for Me (Emilio’s story)

New to town and the university, Ivy Gallo has an interesting exchange with Ashton “Baby” Ciccone at a faculty party. The youngest of the Ciccones and the quintessential bad boy, he offers Ivy a one night reprieve from her stifling life.

“…tonight, I just want to be in the same space as you. I want you to see what it could be like to choose me.”

Despite the difference in age and the forbidden nature of a relationship, there is an undeniable attraction between them. Teach Me is their angsty and intense story.

There’s a lot happening in this installment of the Ciccone Brothers series, but I don’t want to say too much and give anything away. You’ll really want to go in pretty blind with this one, if possible. That said, when I tell you that I went through every emotion, it’s no lie. BL and Sade have taken a trope that I absolutely never read and turned it into one of my favorite books this year.

I’m not even going to mention the WTAF at the end.

Teach Me is age gap romance with mafia twist. Ashton aka Baby sneak into party for faculty where he meets Ivy. They immediately hit it off and one night together. Baby couldn’t get enough of Ivy. He became obsessed with her even though she is married to the man that has vendetta against his family. He is her student but that doesn’t stop her from wanting him. And their relationship is wrong on so many levels, but they can’t and will not stop from see each other. But be prepared for a cliffhanger end.

I love their story and I can’t wait to read the rest of series. Both authors did a remarkable job with story and characters. I wish I could give it more than 5 stars.

Just very immature and I love a good student teacher romance but this was just blah. I got almost half way and I was bored

S Rena and BL Mute expertly craft a compelling, steamy, and romantic AF narrative that expands upon the world and makes you desperate for more entries in this world. Teach Me does involve graphic depictions of domestic abuse, so please be warned prior to reading.

I'm not gonna lie I was nervous because of the reverse age-gap. Don't get me wrong age-gaps is my 2nt favorite trope but I'm not really into the romance being older. ahhhhhh but Baby....Daddy... I mean Ashton was so hot. Had me clenching my legs together lol. There was really only one part that I just had a hard time moving on from
