ngl i don't like the guy's beard on the cover. it's a nice read

“You are hot. Gorgeous, smart, sexy as fuck. Own it, Blair. Thinking you’re anything less than that is an insult to me. You think my girl is ugly?”

What a refreshing take on sports romance! Blair is in need of help with statistics and goes to Wes, to see who the tutor is that helps the basketball team. When she learns he not only does not use one, but is not your typical dumb jock. Wes is smitten with Blair. She is beautiful and ambitious and when the smart jock becomes the tutor, we have a slow burn romance. But Rebecca Jenshak doesn't stop with just a heart warming college romance. She weaves in a much more important theme throughout the story. I love it when stories have some meat to them, and this one gives it real life situations and real life choices to be made. The characters are so much fun, lots of chemistry and incredible witty banter. It's supporting cast of the team and Vanessa add a lot of flare, will make you smile and want you to meet more.

Erin Mallon and Jason Clarke are amazing with this narration. They both have wonderful comedic timing,and have a conversational feel when they narrate. It's an easy listen,and together they give us a comfortable feeling like we know the characters making it easy to relate to. I loved having them telling me Wes and Blair's story.

The Asssist is a fun New Adult romance. Enroll at Valley and enjoy the eye candy or in this case aural pleasure. With a healthy dose of humility this feisty sorority girl manages to snag herself the ultimate prize...a tutor for statistics. What did you think I meant!?! LOL.

These smart jocks will have you curling your toes and bouncing in your seats. No pompoms necessary but Joel probably wouldn't mind them! Grab a stretch of the bleachers and invite your friends. You aren't going to want to miss these!

I can't wait for book 2!

4 Bless is in the House Stars!!
What happens when you make assumptions about people you don’t know? You make an ass out of yourself and that is exactly what happened to Blair, but she preserved and went back to ask for help. She would not take no for an answer and was not interested in anything else except the tutoring. I really loved that Blair made almost instant friendships with everyone she met including Wes. It’s not like she didn’t notice everyone on the basketball team was great to look at, she just had bigger priorities than dating anyone. Blair’s positive attitude is very contagious throughout the whole book, you can tell it came in handy for Gabby during her difficult times. I adored how close she was with her friends and how they stood up for each other.

Wes’s whole life is the basketball team, so it was super surprising that he was so unbelievably smart. He is so driven at being the best at everything he does, it doesn’t quite compute to anyone who doesn’t know him. I love how slow he goes with Blair that it is completely a friendship first nothing romantic. He just wants to know everything about her and learn all her quirks and insights into her life. The friendships that Wes has with his teammates and some outside of the team show’s who he is as a guy. I love that he is a stand-up guy not one to go back on his word, or talk bad about others.

I really loved this slow burn romance, these two really got to know each other well before taking it any farther. They of course have their struggles to go through before becoming closer but it’s that way with any HEA the learning to become a couple. I enjoyed the friendships in this book a lot and I cannot wait to dive into book 2.
