BLURB:
Eavesdropping is only bad if I’m not being helpful with the information I’ve acquired.
Bates loves being helpful, and since being nosy makes it easier to be helpful, well, no one can complain about that logic. Especially not the cuties upstairs who have the most interesting family and the most wonderful questions.
It’s not eavesdropping if we’re too loud, right?
Gareth isn’t concerned about how much his handsome neighbour has overheard about their life. He’s more focused on getting his questions answered and about the way the fascinating guy from downstairs thinks he should be dating his best friend Cash…and the guy from downstairs.
Maybe eavesdropping wasn’t so bad?
Cashel isn’t sure what’s happening when the tornado of a neighbour bursts into their life, but he knows nothing will ever be the same. Especially not when it ends up with him on a date with Gareth and Bates. He doesn’t do that…any of it…but it sounds like maybe the neighbour knows him better than he knows himself.
When a nosy neighbour decides to help two curious men, questions finally get answers and nothing will ever be the same.
Author’s Note:
This is an MMM romance with a Dom, a surprised switch, and a very curious sub, and while they have a lot of fun in this book, some fun (like homeruns and wagging tails) will have to wait until book two (if you get my drift).
While this duet is part of the Education of the Heart series, these are the roommates from Save Me Santa. It’s not technically necessary to have read the other books, however, I think Learning to Walk and Learning to Run will be more enjoyable if you’ve already read Brady’s story, Save Me Santa.

REVIEW:
In this book we meet best friends and roommates Gareth and Cashel and their downstairs neighbour Bates. Due to a previously broken window the whole apartment block knows what is happening in Gareth & Cash’s apartment.
Their 3rd roommate is Brady a Little, and his Daddy is grumpy Jude (another neighbour). Gareth & Cash have been the best big brothers to Brady whilst he was looking for his Daddy, but Gareth is confused by elements of Brady and Jude’s relationship. Spanking mainly. Bate’s is aware of the Gareth’s confusion due to the broken window & Brady’s habit of talking loudly on the stairs. Bates feels he is the one to help Gareth understand. He also wants to help Gareth and Cash discover themselves and see what is right under their noses.
These guys live in a block of apartments with the most interesting people. We meet Jude, Brady Gareth & Cashel in Save Me Santa and I would definitely recommend you read that book before reading this one. We also hear about smelly guy, the guy with weird pets and many more again. You definitely don’t need to have read books 1 & 2 in The Education of The Heart series to enjoy this one.
What I found in this book (and in Save me Santa) is that I start off as confused as the characters. For example, Gareth & Cash don’t know Bate’s name and come up with a plan for finding it on their first date that obviously doesn’t work . But they are also confused about what they ae feeling (Cash particularly) . However, I really enjoy M.A. Innes work and trust that it will all become clear to me, and it always does. The author takes me on a journey of discovery with the characters.
I am really looking forward to this next book in this series, especially after the teaser at the end of this book . (Hint , Brady isn’t the only Little in the building and as M.A. Innes freely confesses she has a hard time letting go of her characters).
