About this listen

There are no douchebags in this story.

Well, there are, but they're not who this story is about.

This story is about me - the coach's daughter.

When I moved to Iowa to live with my dad, the university's take-no-prisoners wrestling coach, I thought transferring would be easy as pie - living with my father would be temporary, and he'd make sure his douchebag wrestlers left me alone.

Wrong on both counts.

Assholes always come out of the woodwork when the stakes are high.

A bet is placed, and I'm on the table. After one humiliating night and too much alcohol, I find the last nice guy on campus. And when he offers to rent me his spare bedroom, I go all in. It's time for the nice guy to finish first.

Midnight chats and spilling my problems turn to lingering touches. Lingering touches turn to more.

And the ultimate good guy has the potential do more damage than any douchebags ever could.

this one was pretty cute. Elliot is the sweet guy and when he has to leave, its gut wrenching. it would have been nice to include a bit on him reading or finding the diary. if I were changing it, I'd have the roommate let elliot in the house while Annabel wasnt home and then have him find the journal... maybe even think that Rex ab d her were more than friends.

college great

I really did love this book until the last bit of it. The whole Rex/Elliot mess just didn’t do it for me. Aside from that, I loved it. I just don’t like Rex and he aggravates me.

Amazing til the end

I love everything about Sara Ney's Douche Bag Series even though you find characters from the other series in each book she does a great job creating the new character stories. Annabelle and Elliot have a great story, I think everyone will enjoy their friends to lovers. I even liked Rex Gunderson in this book he starts out as a douchbag but turns into a nice guy. At one point I was even routing for him.

Basically if you are a fan of Sara Ney's other Douchebag books you'll be a fan of this one as well. And of course with Muffy Newtown narrating you can't go wrong. She's paired nicely with Josh Goodman.

Another great one from Sara Ney

This series has been a total LOL trip for me. Sara Ney really knows how to write characters that you can love and hate at the same time. You know, the kind of character that you want to punch in the face, but you'll turn right around and defend them in a heartbeat if someone else tries to do it. Some of her descriptions seem so laid back, yet have this amazing graphic quality that leave you feeling like you're in the middle of that locker room with those sweaty guys, or you're the poor schmo standing in front of the coach while he pops a vein screaming at you. Or you're the one who just woke up naked in a strange bed with a well-toned, delightfully inked, and slightly hairy masculine arm wrapped around you... Wait. What was I doing again?

Wonderfully written, great fun, more chemistry than the university's lab, and awesome witty characters. What more needs to be said? Campus romance at its best, for all ages!

This book is my favorite of the series so far. Love love love it! I think the douchebag series is so cute. Full of love, and sarcasm and laughter. It’s a great read.

Love this book

I am having trouble coming to terms with the fact that this series is over. There are other stories, surely! I love everything about this series, but mostly the humor and chapter headers.

This series can't be over!

The first two-thirds of this book are wonderful. Last third, not so much. I don't want to include spoilers in this review, so I'll be vague about what I didn't like.
I actually didn't mind the big development that occurs the last third of the book, but I DID take issue with the MMC's actions. I feel like the author missed an opportunity to develop the romance more, which was a confusing choice to me. When there is separation between the two main characters the last third of the book, I expect on-page angst and pining. We barely got that in this story from the MMC's POV and it was needed after the decisions he made.
Because I enjoyed this couple and most of their story, I'm going to give this 3.75 stars. I have to deduct 1.25 star for what I stated above and the fact that another male character steps in and does what the MMC should be doing the last third of the book. I didn't mind the friendship between this male character and the FMC, but I felt his role was too prominent at the point of the story.

3.75 stars

I liked this story, worth a listen. I've been listening to a lot of dark stories lately and though this did bring tears to my eyes a few times, it was a nice sweet break from them.

A good listen

Ahh ok so I tried this book a while ago and it was a DNF, I always say you never know and so I thought I would give this one another try. So very glad I did because this time I appreciated the book so much more.

I am not saying it’s my favorite of the series Zeke still holds all the cards but I loved friends to lover’s feel of this book. And how it started out as exactly that, friends who may or may not have had that attraction feel but friends took precedence.

There was little to no dramalama which I like, and how they worked things out really nailed it for me. I liked that they talked and no one just flew off the handle. Shows that just because we are in NA genre you can still have mature characters.

I love Muffy Newtown’s voice she really is a favorite of mine she just has that thing that makes you want to listen vs reading it for yourself. Also, Josh Goodman has a stellar voice too.
