The Assist by Rebecca Jenshak is a college sports romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Erin Mallon and Jason Clarke. 

This is the first book of Rebecca’s that I have read and it definitely won’t by last. I absolutely loved Wes and Blair’s love story. I cannot wait to get my hands on the second book The Fadeaway.  

Erin and Jason did an amazing job on the narration. They brought the story to life and made it so easy to follow along. 

I would recommend this book to anyone who loves Sports Romances.

A pretty cute story. I enjoyed it and think it builds up for a great rest of the series!

I am a sucker for a sports romance with a hot jock, in a classic university setting and the added drama of ex-partners. So as you can guess this book was right up my alley, but oh boy did it go above and beyond what I expected. I absolutely fell in love with Wes's demeanour and protectiveness of Blair. Maybe it was the smart jock vibe with the glasses? Can't really blame a girl.

The difference between The Assist and other sports romances I have read previously was the conflict scene within the storyline. Sometimes these are written within a couple of chapters and then everything is fine and dandy with a HEA. Rebecca made Wes work his arseeee off to get Blaire back and even then he had to go the extra mile. The conflict was also written in a way that as a reader I could relate to. Wes and Blaire acted like grown-ups and not the drama induced children that some characters can get thrown back into. The only character that fell into that trap was David, but he deserved it because as V would say while she kicked him in the balls is 'douche canoe'.

DNF (55%) - Couldn't get into this, but it might be because of my mood.
I didn't like how prejudiced the FMC kept being even after she saw that the MMC was smart.

But bonus point for the Knight & Day Movie References!

I love the way this book is written wotha a bit of a twist on the dumb jock cliche.

Wes and Blair's story really went deep with their past and what they are facing in their future. Blair is more then her Sorority girl persona and We is oh so much hotter than a jock.

Pick it up today for a cute sports romance that will give you all the feels.
