WONDERFUL!!!!!!!

Love lessons tells the story of Trevor who is a music video director and Corey who is his son's(Miquel)fifth grade teacher. Her love and compassion for his son causes him to look at her as more than a teacher. The way the relationship between the two develops is so phenomenal! They were definitely on the same level and were surely meant to be together. All the while, Trevor is dealing with the fact that he is fed up with being on the road and knows that he has to become a full time father to Miquel and father figure to his college student cousin and teenaged son and daughter of his sister, who has been Miquel's caretaker while he's been away working.Although Trevor is almost forty years old, "Love Lessons" is still a coming of age story about a someone who matures and takes on the responsibility being a father, a lover and most of all, a man.I loved this book!

"Lesson Learned"

I loved this book. Trevor Winston an independent film maker that works mostly with music artist on their videos is a man of deep conviction. Corey Hamilton is a teacher passionate about the welfare of her students. Trevor has been an absent father to his son because of his work, he has left the raising of Miquel for his parents before their death and afterwards to his sister. However, a change is about to come. Trevor has been summoned after a series of notes that have gone unanswered by his sister from Miquel's teacher. Corey is intrigued and angered by Trevor's appearance at school to check on his son, she verbally assaults him about his lack of parenting then sends him away to lick his wounds. Trevor has never felt so dehumanized yet captivated by a woman, he comes up with a plan to make amends for the callousness of his responsiblity to his son.Corey and Trevor are drawn to one another and will not play games about that attraction, Corey is the only woman that has made Trevor want to truly settle down and reevaluate his globetrotting lifestyle. Now, with his family and the project that has him involved with Corey's class to produce their own documentary, Trevor is finally feeling as if he has come home. I loved the sensual primal visions Ms Esdaile used describing Trevor's pursuit for the woman of his heart. The story touched on so many levels, speaking to teenagers feeling pressured by society as well as peers to fit in, single parents trying to set an example for their children while struggling to maintain a shred of life solely their own and on being a good neighbor for those around us. The secondary characters were an integral part of this book, Scott, Miquel, Janelle, Samantha, Trevor's sister Gretchen, even Miss Cleo who sees all and knows just as much. This book is a definite lesson on love at all levels.

Life Lesson

This book touched me. I could identify with how we let so much get to be more important than what should be. Corey was dedicate to the children she taught so she was real angry when Miquel's dad seemed to ignore her many letters. Corey knew Trevor was big time in the music video world but she was not impressed. Trevor wanted a change in his life for good and Corey helped to provide him and his son a change. I liked this book

Love Lessons, take a seat, listen and learn

This book was too good to put down. Before I knew it, it was time for me to go to work at 5 a.m. This story was not just about the love between a man and a woman, but also the love and sacrifices that are made when you unconditionally love someone. The story revolves around single parent and absentee dad Trevor, his 8 yr old son Miguel, who is being raised by Trevor's sister, Gretchen along with her own children and Miguel's teacher, Corey.The main storyline involves that man/woman/child love. From the first meeting of Trevor and Corey you know there is going to be some fireworks and serious lessons in love to be learned. Trevor sees the love that Corey has for his child, and can't help but fall in love with her. The love scenes between the couple are almost heartstopping. You will have to keep reminding yourself to breathe.The secondary story involves Trevor's sister Gretchen and her children. Gretchen,who has denied herself every pleasure shows unconditional and sacrificial love for her children. The discussions between Gretchen and Trevor, as brother and sister, were lessons in love that Trevor had forgotten existed. This book is one that you will want to read over again. The interactions within the family will make you feel as though you are a part of the gang. Definitely a keeper!
