The Professor’s Date
By Lane Hayes
The Script Club, Book 5
The professor, the hair stylist, and a wedding date…
Tommy
Help! My sister is getting married and according to her, I need a date. And a makeover. I’m a busy man, though. I don’t have time to meet eligible bachelors, and the tape holding my glasses together works just fine. Until my hair stylist steps on them.
Yes, Noah, my dazzling dreamboat of a hair guru created a mini disaster, but I don’t mind at all. He’s a sweet, funny, kind jock who—
Screech! No jocks. I have nothing in common with sporty people.
Except…Noah is different.
Noah
I don’t date. However, I’m not opposed to offering fashion advice to a sexy professor in need. A haircut, a quick shopping expedition…
Boom! Mission accomplished.
Not so fast. I’ve misjudged the situation and my attraction to the geek with the tragic sense of style. Sure, Thomas is too smart for me by a long shot, but there’s something about him that makes it easy to forget my past. It might be his quietly commanding nature or his movie-star good looks. Or maybe it’s just him.
All I know is that I’m very tempted to be the professor’s date.
The Professor’s Date is an MM geek/jock romance featuring a nerdy professor, a soccer-playing hair stylist, and a quest for the perfect date!

The Professor’s Date is the fifth book in The Script Club series by Lane Hayes. I love Lane and her books! This is an opposites attract, nerd jock story and I loved it! Tommy, or Thomas is a sexy, nerdy professor. He needs new clothes, a new haircut and new glasses, but he doesn’t want them. He agrees to get a haircut and when he meets his stylist, Noah, he knows his life is about to change. Noah is spunky, fun, sexy and colorful. In addition to being a stylist, he’s a soccer player. It starts out as a friendly favor. Thomas needs Noah’s help with his style and he needs a date to his sister’s wedding festivities. It doesn’t take him long to realize he wants Noah to be his date. He’s attracted to everything about him. He’s fun, sexy, pretty, and confident. The more they get to know each other, the more they fall. Noah has a tragic past and he refuses to bring Thomas down with him. Will Thomas fight for his man? Will Noah let the past go? Oh man! I loved these two. This might be my favorite of the series. They are opposites but just perfect for each other. Overall, I laughed, cried, got mad, got sad and had to fan myself from the hotness!! Can’t wait for the next one!
Excerpt:
“Thank you. This has been…”
“Not so terrible?” I suggested.
“The opposite of terrible.” He smiled and pointed at my shirt. “Good luck with your mermen.”
“Thanks. When you’re in the market for cool aquatic apparel, you know where to find me.”
His slow-growing ear-to-ear grin transformed his handsome face into a force of masculine beauty. I could almost anticipate his witty comeback delivered with sophisticated panache because right there and then, he could have been James freaking Bond.
But he was Thomas Hartwell, so he said, “It’s probably safest to classify fabled marine life of the part male, part fish variety in a whimsical rather than a cool category. Uh…but as you can probably tell, I’m not an expert at cool.”
My answering smile was so wide it actually hurt my cheeks. If I didn’t make an exit now, I was liable to do something dumb like hike my leg over his hip, and hump him like a ho. And I highly doubted I could patch the aftermath of that kind of faux pas with superglue, so I held out my hand instead.
“You’re cool just the way you are.”
“Thanks,” he replied, slipping his palm against mine in a firm and steady hold that made me weak in the knees.
His touch was strong and soothing. It anchored me and thrilled me at the same time, leaving me wanting more.
Which had to be why I lost my ever-lovin’ mind.
I leaned in to peck his cheek—the same friendly good-bye I would have bestowed on any new friend-slash-acquaintance. I think the gesture caught him off guard because he tilted his face toward me and suddenly, his lips were a mere inch away. I could smell peppermint on his breath and detect a hint of gold in his blue eyes. Damn, he was gorgeous.
And he was right there. So close I could just…seal my mouth over his. So I did.
Yes, I kissed the professor.
And God, it was good.

Following The Rules
The geek, the jock, and a new set of rules…
Topher-
My friend’s brother needs an academic assistant and I need a job. Problem…jocks are my weakness. Seriously. I lose my ability to speak coherently around muscle-bound hotties. Oh yeah, I lose my inhibitions too—not a good look for a guy with a genius IQ. So what am I going to do about Simon?
Simon-
Finishing college isn’t high on my list of priorities, but my future in professional football is looking bleak. I need a plan B or C, and I could use some help navigating life as an undergrad. Topher is perfect. He’s also a little strange…but in a good way. And I like the way I feel when I’m around him—as though anything is possible. Maybe if we follow our hearts, we’ll find what we’re looking for. But that means changing the rules…
Following the Rules is a MM, bisexual awakening romance starring a lovable nerd, a cool jock, and some extracurricular fun.
