- Size Difference
- Nerd/Jock
- Lots of Blushing

This was a cute story about the nerd helping the jock with his grades while the jock helps the nerd with his firsts. These two were in a friends with benefits kind of setup but they were really in a relationship the whole time. Cobey wanted Vincent to be his quickly into their arrangement and besides outright saying it, he showed him with his actions. This has great characters with a healthy relationship development, and I loved how they loved each other. Vincent's backstory is sad but Cobey's parents are awesome and bring him right into the fold.

This is not angsty and no drama, so if you're looking for that then keep moving.

This series is just chef

This is a 3.5! I really liked it, Cobey and Vincent were absolutely adorable, like every couple in this series. I really like how chill and soft and cute this series is it’s so heartwarming to me. I am tired of asshole love interests! Nice people are amazing! Genuinely sweet jocks are great!

Tutoring trope is a hit or miss for me and I didn’t have grand expectations for this book but it was super sweet and wholesome! The attraction was a biiiit too instant and surface level, not a huge character work and I am not convinced the Gavin plotline was necessary. But it gave me the nerd/jock moments I love, namely « nerd wears his boyfriend’s jersey and number » I eat that shit UP.

Super cute story about a hot football star and his roomate/tutor falling in love. Like 2 spicy times at the 3rd act of the book, very realistic and super descriptive, very spicy. Great HEA

4.5⭐️

This one made me laugh and smile and even tear up a bit. I wasn’t ready when it ended and I feel like that’s all you really need to know about if I’d recommend. First book for me of Walker’s, that’s the fun in these joint author series, but I’ll be grabbing another!

Absolutely loved this one! Definitely more mature again and it proves there's no need for unnecessary drama in a romance.

this book was super cute, and surprisingly had almost no conflict?? which made everything a little too simple and easy for them, but overall I enjoyed reading it.

Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

This was a great pallette cleanser to start the year.  The narrator was splendid, and made the story so much fun.  The plot wasn't complex, the spice was fun and not over the top, and the characters were a hoot.  I found myself laughing out loud several times.  The reason this isn't a 5 is that it lacked some depth.  But really, it was perfect for what it was!
adventurous emotional funny fast-paced

Cobey and Vincent. Cobey was the himbo of my dreams. I adored these two.
