About this listen

Knox Maguire is the king of our college campus, the star offensive tight end on the football team.

He is the complete opposite of me in every way. I'm quiet. He's loud. I'm shy. He's definitely not. Everyone loves him. No one knows me.

Fresh out of a breakup, I don't really trust him, and why should I? Knox is the ultimate player. When I become his English tutor, I tell myself we need to keep things between us strictly business. Watching my mother deal with my ex-athlete father long ago taught me to stay far away from that type of man.

Yet Knox is impossible to resist. Next thing I know, we're getting hot and heavy in the library—and that was never part of the plan. When Knox admits he can't stop thinking about me, I have a realization: I can't stop thinking about him either.

Instead of keeping my distance, I pull him in closer. Until somehow, we're spending all of our time together, and I find myself falling for Knox. Hard.

Will this actually work between us? Or am I getting played?

I love it!

If you like the Briar U series you’ll like this book! The male narrator took a few minutes to get used to but his voice ended up being perfect. Can’t wait for more like this!

SNOOZE

Do not waste your credit.
No character development, the male narrator sounded way to old to be in college.
Terrible

Mid

This is a safe read. No drama, no angst, no real plot, no break up. It’s a ‘tutor-girl/football campus celebrity’ trope with zero surprises. The main characters (Joanna and Knox) are neutral and mostly likeable. Other than having an active sex life before Joanna, once Knox is in he's all in, a cinnamon roll. Joanna is not a virgin. But she started to bring me down with all of her bad-ex-boyfriend mentions. Isn’t it funny that in these books a guy can have a thousand women and still be a happy-go-lucky and a woman has ONE partner and he almost destroys her for all others.

Things that were mentioned in this book that made me groan in pain and snapped my vag shut:

- mfc has a ‘fück the patriarchy’ tattoo 🙄😫
- this book mentions Taylor Swift 🤮
- this book mentions how we all suffered during covid 🤨
- there’s a whole segment where the MCs discuss a romance book and promote Audible by name 🤬
I find that kind of self promotion both tacky and gross. I’m not paying for a commercial, and I don't want to be reminded that the romance genre is actually a greedy business pretending to be one of the girls
