About this listen

Troy: Of course I fell for a football jock. But Jackson and I are polar opposites. He's popular, confident, and as hot as hell in a tight T-shirt. Me? I'm just a scrawny, awkward nerd. Another point of difference: He's straight.

As if my crush on him isn't bad enough, Jackson is assigned to be my partner on a year-long project, and I have no choice but to spend time with the hottest guy on campus. Bummer. But the attraction is intensifying. We're on a collision course. I shouldn't be leaning in.... I think I'm going to kiss him.

Jackson: Sweet. I got partnered up with the biggest nerd on campus. If I play my cards well, a passing grade is guaranteed. Troy's all shy and awkward; a classic nerd. But there's more to him than he's showing. And it's making me curious.

I want to see him come out of his shell. I know he would be better off if he let his guard down. I want to be his friend, but he thinks I'm just another dumb jock. Except, I see him looking at me the way I could never look at him.

Am I sending the wrong message? Is he falling for me? He's leaning in fast.... He's about to kiss me. And I'm not even ducking.

Contains mature themes.

This book had so much impact; Troy was really something, and Jackson—Jesus! I was growing in anticipation to hear what was next in their lives, especially Jackson, who got the picture with Troy finally manning up to express himself in the end made my mouth drop. Loving the book got me to get the whole series. I bet I won't regret it. 👌🏽

I never know about college stories. Sometimes it feels like I’m too old. Their struggles and angst bore me. Been there, done that, I’m ready for more mature characters. But this book is so well crafted, it kept my attention from start to finish. Both main characters were cute. I wanted things to work out for them. I enjoyed watching their naive fumbling, enthusiasm, and optimism for each other.
Cooper North was a pretty good fit, though character voices were sometimes a bit ambiguous.
I think this was my first by Hayden Hall, but it won’t be my last.

Low angst, self-discovery, coming out

I’m glad I gambled on this one, because it really was a sweet listen. I like when a romance portrays characters that are flawed but figure out how to grow together.

I also like when the narrator’s voice is age appropriate, and the voices of different characters were distinct and well fitting. I especially liked that this story stayed away from certain MM tropes (I won’t spoil too much) since that made it refreshing and new from the norm. The steamy scenes were also really well portrayed, and again well done in my opinion.

I will be getting Hayden Hall’s next addition about Quinn and other characters introduced in this story! I’m excited!

Sweet beginning

This story was wonderful. I highly recommend it. Getting to see nerdy Troy get together with Jackson the jock was amazing. And how they changed each other for the better. I especially liked the sex scenes. But it wasn't just sex it showed how much they truly loved each other. I could see them eventually getting married and even having kids of their own. And of course growing old together. I wish I had what they have.

I loved Troy and Jackson

Great Narration. Spicy with Romance. This this story contained 2 lost souls who didn't even realize that they were looking for a place to belong. Hearts grew and answers presented they they nene thought possible.

First Love

This book delivers on all fronts. The angst was just the right amount and didn’t drag on and onnnnnn (as is the case and, imo, ginormous detractor of enjoyment) like many romances. Very much a delight to consume. I ache for more on audible.

Delivers:)

A relatively sweet story with appropriate twists and turns. it is ideal for the collegiate edged person who is pining for a real relationship that matches some of their fantasies. A little bit slow at times, but it reached a desirable finish.

very definitely for the collegiate age group.

I think what makes this story from others in this trope is that both main characters need to come out in their own ways. Both Troy and Jackson have to be there for the other one. We see them reevaluating everything throughout the story. I was very happy with the conclusion of the story.
I listened to audio version of this story and enjoyed it very much.
