Book Review: ♥ ♥ ♥ ❣
I have mixed feelings about this book; something's I liked others I didn't. It was a sweet read with a good ending.
This book basically covers stereotypes and how you shouldn't judge a book by its cover or genre. People tend to stick to their group of people and don't really see the appeal of stepping outside the box.
Claire is an academic pre-law student. She lives in her books and is comfortable around the intellectual population, even if that does mean spending time watching people play dungeons and dragons. She's not bimbo pretty and she isn't stick thin.
Jake is a jock. He plays football and puts the bare minimum into getting the class grades. His coach wants him to do better. He sees his potential to get more out of his time at college and hires him a tutor to help him out. He needs the grades she needs the money.
Right from the start this is a love hate relationship between Claire and Jake. This is a romance novel so we know the direction the books heading.
I really liked the idea of this book however the bits that I didn't like were the fact Claire got a make over to make herself feel better about her appearance. I get that it was about her wanting to improve what she already had but I'm a big believer in being who you are. Also I think there was too much enthusiasm on her not being Jakes typical type, everyone is beautiful in their own way. I also didn't like Claire having a bad experience with jocks in the past. I felt this should have made her more cautious and I didn't feel that it came across that way. I felt she came across as a little needy at times rather than guarded. The first hook up also didn't really do it for me without giving too much away I just didn't like the events leading up to it.
Jake wasn't cool enough for me either sorry for the lame term. I liked his storyline however he didn't make me hot for him.
Anyway enough of the moaning this book was worth the read and I would definitely recommend it for a bedtime light hearted read. It's free for kindle unlimited readers which is always a bonus however I found this via Netgalley. It is original with a fresh view on nerd vs jock romance. It is intended for the young adult audience. U.K. 16; it has sexual and bad language content.
I would consider reading other books by this author and have noticed she has done a few football and MC novels which I'm a fan of.
Overall I rate this book 3.5 stars out of 5.
