Blurb:

Miguel wants to be noticed.

Miguel Cordero Ruiz always considered himself straight, but his sexy anatomy professor, Dr. Cummings, is making him seriously rethink that. While the professor who lives across the street is supposedly a “bird watcher,” it's rumored he’s really spying on the male students who live in Miguel's building. When rumor is confirmed as fact, Miguel decides to give the professor a show he won’t forget.

Aldrich is afraid of being seen.

Aldrich Cummings has led a lonely existence. That all changes when he sees his gorgeous new neighbor moving in across the street. When he discovers the guy he’s been secretly watching from his office window is not only aware of his audience, but is enjoying it, Aldrich is even more entranced. Miguel is his student, and therefore off-limits, but what the administration doesn’t know won’t hurt them.

It was supposed to be harmless and meaningless voyeurism.

As time passes, the desire between them burns so brightly it inevitably explodes. Both will face consequences if the university finds out what the professor and his student have been getting up to. They will need to navigate the obstacles in their path to find the happiness both have been searching for.
My review: 

I loved this book, but... i had 2 probleme with it. Two big probleme. 

- it wasn't voyeurism because we got only 2 scenes with the need for looking, one at the beginning and one at the very end

- it wasn't teacher/student book for me, because we didn't get to see them in the university 

So. This two thing is the biggest theme of the book but these were the biggest dissapointment for me.

If it's teacher/student, I want to see them in school or in class, or with other student or teacher, or whatever, but I want to feel the realness of it, the taboo of it and the fear of being caught! 

And if it's about voyeurism, I want to see what they want to see! The want of the seeing and beeing seen. Not just two little scene. Althought that one at the end was really hot! 

So if I can separete these two things, this book was a really good one! The characters, their relationships, the romance and the erotica, everything was fine, and I really enjoyed reading it. 

I think I love Lynn's co-authored books much better then the ones she writes just herself, i don't know why, but this isn't the first time I couldn't fully loved the book from her. She writes too much, things that isn't neccesary in the book just more pages. I was really bored sometimes in this story too.

And don't get me wrong, I did wrote negative things about this book but I really liked it. If this book would be only just a gay erotica or romance novel, it would be amazing. But as you can see, the voyeurism and teacher/student things the two top theme of it, so it wasn't perfect in those themes.

Now You See Me is a steamy 78,000 word stand-alone MM novel. It contains one not-straight Navy vet, one professor afraid of being touched, nosy relatives, nosier neighbors, troublesome colleagues, voyeurism, The Pleasure Chest, a bondage staircase, binoculars, a Maginot Line made from pillows, and a HEA for two men who deserve happiness.
