My Book Review
A Smart Jock + Sorority Girl + College Sports Romance = Give me ASAP!!!
I really enjoy this author’s writing and each book has this easy, happy, and steamy romance that I always devour! Jenshak always has creates swoon worthy characters and the perfect plot twists that keep me begging for more.
THE ASSIST being the first book in her Smart Jocks series has me wanting more, more, more! I LOVE LOVE LOVE Blair & Wes and their friends. The college shenanigans and speed bumps throughout the story kept me unable to put the book down. One part of the book really resonated with me in regards to Wes’ parents relationship and it has really made an impact on how I view my own parents’ relationship in a different light – so Thank You Rebecca!
I am a major fan of college sports romances and this book is in my MUST READ Recommendations.
