About this listen
After a disastrous high school game of spin the bottle, I gave up trying to get a boyfriend and spent my time studying instead. Now I’m twenty-four, and I’m not only a virgin, I haven’t even been kissed.
When I meet Danny, a handsome legal hotshot, he catches my eye. Right before I trip on flat ground. Ugh.
He’s got a massive … reputation. He’s the most popular guy in the club, a total playboy with a new conquest every night. There’s no way he’d be interested in me.
But one night after I imbibe too much, he winds up taking care of me. And when I ask for his help with my travesty of a social life, he agrees to teach me how to be less awkward with men … if I let him document my progress so he can win a bet with his best friend.
Even though he’s just my love tutor and I’m just his apprentice, this starts to feel like more.
Too bad it can’t be anything but a high-level seminar in how to seduce someone else.
Studious is a sweet and sexy contemporary opposites-attract m/m romance about a suave attorney who’s scared to love and the shy, nerdy bookkeeper he’s teaching how to be a player. Cue makeover montage and a smoldering first kiss. These heroes most definitely are not falling in love. (Okay, heartwarming HEA guaranteed.)

This was such a delightful audiobook! Declan Winters did a fantastic job with the narration and bringing Alden, Danny, and the rest of the characters to life.
Alden was a sweetheart and I loved him from the get-go. While I liked Danny, I was frustrated that it took him so long to get past his hangups with having a relationship when it was way obvious that Alden was perfect for him.
The story was really good, though, with several additional characters I wouldn't mind reading more about, and a spicy and sweet plot, and just enough angst to keep things interesting.
Lovely audiobook!

The prologues for both characters were heart-wrenching, but set up the story very well.
These guys were opposites, but ideally suited and very likeable. I loved how Danny treated Alden and encouraged him to become confident and able to say what he wanted. The way their relationship developed was lovely, with quite a few steamy scenes. Will definitely listen to this one again.
Very enjoyable story and narration

The story opens with a prologue for each character giving us their reasons/background stories for why they are who they are when it comes to emotions & relationships in the present. I really appreciated that the story started this was as opposed to us being held in overdpne suspense as to why Danny is the "no repeats" guy that he is.
Our other MC, Alden Meyer, is twenty four years old and has never been kissed. He is shy and finds dating & talking with new people difficult, but he has enough confidence to ask his new boss/coworker Danny for help in that department.
Though Danny's external reasons for agreeing to help Alden are a bit thin, internally his thoughts are almost always about how he likes Alden just how he is and doesn't want to change him, but instead wants to help give him more confidence. And I really appreciated that!
I enjoyed this so much I immediately went back and listened to book 1, and plan to listen to the future books as they are released on audio too.

Super swoony & perfect narration!

I really enjoyed the story, the premise of a nerd wanting to get bedroom experience and an experienced person willing to give it, is one of my favourites :) Where this story differs is that it focuses more on the emotional growth of the 2 men and not so much on their more physical experiences, though the kissing experiences were definitely swoony!
Overall, a lovely, low angst, steamy and fun story.
Declan Winters is a favourite narrator of mine, so I jumped at the chance to listen to this. I enjoyed his voices for the characters, loved Danny's especially, it was seriously hot! I had imagined Alden at a lower (younger) register, so that took me a while to get used to (but that is my bias).
Overall, another way to enjoy the the story in the IOU series.

Danny was a bold, charismatic character with a hurt heart and really enjoyed his character development and the honesty between him and Alden throughout the story and "to the audience/reader" as he fell in love.
Alden is just a pure sweetheart I want to hug. You can't help but feel for him and I loved to see his confidence grow! These two are made for each other and I loved their story and the audio performance by Declan is phenomenal!!! Highly recommended read (& series).
Heartwarming
