Summary

Keira 

I always imagined that being the smart girl in college would be totally different then being the smart girl in high school. 

Oh, how wrong I was. 

Popular girls and cliques still exist in college — and they’re in the dorm next door. 

But I should’ve known better. 

I made the mistake of going to MSU, a football school that worships their athletes almost as much as they do Monday Night Football. 

And the jocks of this school are essentially kings. Kings, who are only good for one thing: dirty daydreams. 

Not that I have time for that. I’m here on an academic scholarship and I can’t let a single thing destroy my one chance at happiness. 

But when I’m suddenly faced with my secret crush in high school, Nate Buckingham, star quarterback and every sophomore girl’s wet dream, I’m right back where I was at 15. 

He may be hotter than ever, but we couldn’t be any more different. 

And I’m too smart to fall for a chiseled jaw and a gorgeous smile. 

So why am I suddenly weak in the knees and damp between my thighs with every glance he sends my way?  

Nate 

Nate Buckingham, aka ‘The Buck’, aka, ‘Big man on campus.’ 

God, how I hate those f*cking titles. 

Don’t get me wrong, there are perks to being, ripped, six-two, and the star quarterback. 

And most of those perks come in short skirts and cheerleading uniforms. 

But that’s all they can be...perks. 

Because I’ve got my eye on the prize, and one wrong hookup could throw off my entire game. 

I’m so close to finishing school and getting drafted – when she shows up. 

Wicked smart, with fiery green eyes and messy bun, newly arrived freshman, Keira Wells, has been the source of many late-night spank-bank sessions since my high school days. 

But all she’s ever seen in me was a jock who played on — and off — the field. 

And even though she acts like she can’t stand me, I see the heat in her eyes. The desire that she tries to fight when I catch her watching me. 

Our connection is undeniable. 

And I’m tired of settling for the fantasy. 

I want the real thing. I want Kiera. 

But when we finally stop holding back, the rest of the world may be ready to pull us apart....  

This is a full-length standalone college sports romance with a alpha hero and a spunky heroine. No cheating and HEA guaranteed.

Good listen

I enjoyed listening to Keira and Nate's story. There was plenty of chemistry, along with drama and wonderful secondary characters.
There is a small hiccup in chapter 14 (which I have informed the author of) so hopefully this will be resolved.
Viola, overall did a great job with narration - although the male and female voices were pretty similar.

Geek & Jock Romance

Well the story was sweet. I'm not personally a fan of college romance with the high school drama but this wasn't too bad. Keira and Nate's romance was so weird... Nate pretty much went from dating and fooling around with a popular girl to trying to find Keira (the geek) so she could help him pass his classes. But when they do meet up he has a hard on and confesses his feelings for her, not creepy at all LOL. Anyway then they jump into this whirlwind romance and make out in the coffee shop then pretty much transition into having sex in a study room. It was so quick. The fall out between them was a tad childish but I guess that was to be expected. Like I said it was overall cute and maybe just not my cup of tea.
I did not like the narrator at all, she sounded very young. When the sex scenes came up I was cringing a bit, I just couldn't get into it. She also didn't really change her voice for the male either so quite a few times I forgot who was talking.
