REVIEW: Life Lessons by Kaje Harper
Review:
My first foray into Kaje Harper’s work. And I very much enjoyed it.
A crime thriller that brings together two men. The cop investigating the murder, and the teacher who finds himself caught up in the killer's web. The hunt is on. This will keep you engaged the whole way through, both to see whodunnit and hoping that Mac and Tony will make a go of it. Narrator JF Harding definitely helped make this a great read/listen. They do a great job at capturing the dark, tense tone of the thriller, but also the light and sweet moments these two share.
I loved the pace, and the writing, and though I like both characters, Mac is my one. I love a tortured soul. Closeted, in a job not very welcoming to gay men, with familial responsibilities that compound his need to stay closeted. Just trying to hold everything together. It makes the day that they finally break free, and choose happiness that much better!
Hopefully, that day will come for him…

Synopsis:
Mac's three goals: keep Tony safe, catch the killer, don't come out.
Tony Hart's a dedicated teacher, though he's not much older than his high-school students. Between his profession, a few good friends, and plenty of books, he's content with his quiet life. Then the murdered body of another teacher falls into the elevator at his feet, and Tony's life becomes all too exciting.
Jared MacLean is a homicide detective, widowed father to a young daughter, and deeply in the closet. But from the moment he meets Tony's blue eyes in that high school hallway, Mac can't help wanting this man in his life. Mac's not out ― can't afford to be out ― but Tony makes him want the impossible.
Mac isn't the only one with their eyes on Tony, though. As the murderer tries to cover their tracks, Mac has to work fast or lose Tony, permanently.
