My Rating - 3.5 Stars!
The Player's Protege is the second book in CJane Elliott's Campus Connections series. Ends up this is a sweet story of two men who slowly fall in love during their sexual relationship.
Jerry agrees to mentor Arlo on his sexual side. I really enjoy the little things that bring out the emotions throughout their time together. There's gentleness and understanding through their sexual interactions. And then there are some sweet and tender conversations that really bring the men together. It's great seeing Arlo grow into someone who asks for what he wants.
In the end, these characters experience a while lot of character growth, making for a nice read.
