Music, teaching, family.
For Maverick Wheeler, the only thing more important to him than his family is music. During the day, he’s a professor of Music Theory, and by night, he plays the piano in a jazz band. Between work and his father’s care, that doesn’t leave much time for a personal life. When fate keeps throwing the insufferable Christopher Bishop his way, Chris is the one to lend Maverick a helping hand when he needs one. And even though Maverick is starting to like Christopher the more time they spend together, Maverick knows he’s far too old for him.
Work, school, service.
If Christopher Bishop isn’t busy working at his family’s tow truck business, he’s filling his free time with visiting his grandfather or arguing with Maverick Wheeler. Sparks fly the first time they lay eyes on each other after a misunderstanding, and instead of fizzling out, they burn brighter with every encounter. After a fateful encounter, Christopher begins to realize the stuffy, yet tasty, professor isn’t such a bad guy after all. If only Christopher could convince him to get over their age difference.
Key to my Heart is a medium-heat, low-angst, story featuring an age gap and adult situations. It’s intended for an audience of eighteen years or older.

My Rating - 4 Stars!
I love the way Chris and Maverick don't get along at the start. It adds some fun moments for sure.
They come to know each other, as Mav's father is roommates with Chris's grandfather at the nursing home. I enjoy the way they grow closer, despite it seeming forced.
I also enjoy watching Maverick fight his feelings. And, damn, I love the power exchange, as Chris wants to help take control. Let's just say the results are hot!
This is an age gap romance, as one's a college student, the other a college professor. There's no conflict though, as Maverick is not, and never has been, Chris's teacher. I appreciated this aspect a lot.
The relationship is emotional and definitely an enjoyable one. The age gap is a tough thing for Maverick to overcome, while Chris sees it as no big deal.
The dementia of Mav's grandfather is a tough part to read. If this is a trigger for you, avoid. It's definitely tear jerking and full of heart breaking moments.
Overall, Key to My Heart is a delightful age gap read. This Brittany Cournoyer is a whole lot of fluff entwined with plenty of emotion, heat and heart. It's truly a sweet book.
