Thank you to GRR for the audiobook arc ❤️


This was a sweet, low angst romance between a college professor nerd and a student lawyer jock. A lot of the nerd x jock romances I’ve seen lately are about younger characters so it was fun to see it in an adult book. 

Ezra and Holden live together in a shared house with a few other people, but they don’t get along super well. They bicker over small things and rile each other up and honestly it was really fun reading those parts. None of their bickering was serious and I just laughed at how silly they’d be at times. They both found the other attractive so it was like watching two people trying to get their crush’s attentions in the silliest way. 

They start getting closer after a bet is made to see if Ezra can truly be the best housemate. Holden wants Ezra to play King Henry at the “Renaissance in the Park” event he goes to, and Ezra will get to ask Holden to do whatever he wants for him. You can guess where things go after that.

Overall it was a cute and easy read. I would’ve liked more time with them as couple, and maybe some more bickering 🤣 also this is part of a series and even thought I haven’t read any of the others books in it, I didn’t feel like I was missing out. We were told about previous couples who were featured and filled in on any details.

The arc I got was for the audiobook and I enjoyed listening to Alexander Cendese as Ezra, he does a good jock voice. I would’ve liked someone else as Holden but Cendese didn’t do a bad job with him either.
