Usually, I'm not a big fan of self proclaimed pranksters, but this one just about worked for me because Setter is an actual sweetheart dressed up as a jock.
The dynamic between he and Casey is great and I could have read about them for longer. I love the jock/female nerd trope and jacks did this really well.

This is my second book by this author and I really enjoyed it, this book is part of a series but can be read as a standalone as I did. I really enjoyed reading this book it was a contemporary romance. I really liked Casey and Setter they were hilarious characters. I enjoyed reading this and I may eventually start making my way through the other books in this series.

What a lovely quick read. Casey I like.enjoy how we get into each of the characters head and they each have at least a chapter or two each. You want university you want drama and action this is the book for you. Relationships in this are so real and you feel yourself rooting for certain ones. You can feel yourself in this environment. A recommendation to definitely read this book for a feel good. Can't wait to read more.

First time reading this author. I feel like she did a great job portraying the college scene. It kind of made me reflect on my college years as I read it. While I am not a rich kid waiting to take over daddy's business, I could relate to the wanting to have fun and put off becoming an adult. But then, when you meet the one you are meant for, it is unavoidable to grow up!

This is for mature audiences!

Confessions of a Sophomore Prankster (Frat house confessions) by Danielle Jacks

4 out of 5 Stars

Can I confess that I am hooked? Danielle Jacks has added a brilliant chapter in this series. What is it about Brandon Setter? Is it the Frat Boy appeal? Is it the jock status? Is it the carefree attitude? I think it is all three.

Casey Nelson has locked away all that used to be. Casey used to live and enjoy life just like everyone else. Then tragedy struck, taking a piece of Casey and her world with it. Casey has become a self-professed nerd. She works, she studies, she goes to class, she studies, wash, rinse, repeat. One night Brandon Setter crosses her path in an unexpected way. She knows who and what he is. This fluke has him showing up in Casey’s structured life. Can she find a way to let him in without losing who she has become? Does she want to stay who she has become?

Brandon Setter knows what college is for him, a chance to be free. Brandon’s life is set for him. His father has decided he will join the family business and have the trappings of life that go with that. Brandon has four years of boyish exploits to enjoy before having to settle down to lead the life expected. His latest prank has him taking refuge in the library. When he needs the help of a mysterious beauty that seems to know him to save him, Brandon takes notice and decides to find out more. Brandon discovers that she is intertwined in all sorts of aspects of his life. Will his desire to make this wallflower bloom change his prankster ways?

I hope Brandon and Casey make regular appearances in the remaining books of the series. Can’t wait to keep reading to find out!!!

Confessions of a Sophomore Prankster (
By Danielle Jacks
5 stars

I loved this book! Casey and Setter were brilliant characters. I loved Setter for his fun, carefree attitude and Casey for her more reserved, focussed way of thinking. Together they made a great team and I could tell from the beginning of the story there was going to be something between them – opposites definitely attracted in this story! I really felt for Casey at the beginning of the story – I could really feel her sadness coming across with everything that had happened to her in her past. I really wanted Setter to be the one to make her see that she definitely has a life worth living!
This was definitely a feel-good romance story; I haven’t read the other books in this series but I absolutely will be now! A brilliant read and one I highly recommend!

Danielle Jacks you’ve done it again. This was all kinds of hot! Loved Setter and Casey’s story and I was engaged from page 1. As usual the writing is on point, the characters relatable and the story steaming. Each character’s backstory is fleshed out as the story progresses and I really loved the dual POV. I highly recommend all of Danielle Jack’s books but just be warned - once you start you won’t be coming up for air until the book is finished.

This is a fun story. I was surprised by more than a few things that happened in her. That up my enjoyment level and kept me turning pages. The characters are interesting and more complex than I thought. Setter surprised me more and more as the story went forward. I thought he was just a rich boy who felt he is above everything. As I dove into his life deeper there is so much more to his actions and reactions. Casey is the smart girl with a few surprises of her own. She is stoic and her fathers offers up Setter to help her get some joy back into her life.

The secondary characters really helped mold this into the wonderful story it is. They added charm, danger and friendship to the story. Her fathers seemed overly calm at times and I always wondered if Jacob had ulterior motives in some things he did or said.

Overall its a wonderfully written story.

I never hesitate to pick up this author’s books. They are exciting, fun and entertaining to read. They are well written and have a realistic feel. This book is no different. This is a romance story where the characters pop off the pages. I enjoyed watching their growth and seeing their chemistry throughout the story. This is Setter and Casey’s story. Casey finds herself in the library one night when a prank puts Setter in the same place. Now he can’t seem to stop thinking about her and she can’t seem to shake him. Will these two learn they have so much to learn from each other? What will fate have in store for these two? They are such connectable characters and just made the story for me. A great story that I would highly recommend.

4.5 stars rounded up

A fun college age romance. This book, and Brandon Setter (the Male Main Character), is quirky, fun loving, and sexy. A slight slow burn romance, with Casey (the Female MC) either disliking or being indifferent toward Setter until about 30%, but once the sparks fly, oh do they.

Both Setter and Casey are still growing into who they are. Setter has his future planned out for him, so in the meantime he’s trying to enjoy life to the fullest. Casey is still dealing with the loss of her best friend from high school, pulling away from everyone but her dad, and focusing on her schoolwork, until Setter literally stops in on her in the library and thereafter brings her back to life. But it’s not all fun and games, with both outside forces and Casey and Setter themselves threatening to pull them apart.

I enjoyed the additional background mystery storyline and the drama along the way to finding out “whodunnit.” I liked that Setter and Casey’s relationship, or lack thereof, wasn’t completely the sole focus of the novel. I also enjoyed reading how both Casey and Setter grew into more of an adult with the help of the other. The romance between them is sweet and pure.

This book is just one in a series written by many authors, but I’m interested in searching out the rest to read about what previously happened to side characters and what happens in those to come.
