The Assist: 5 Year Anniversary Special Edition by Rebecca Jenshak
3.0
The Assist, a college sports romance, is the first book I’ve read by Rebecca Jenshak.
But trust me, it won’t be the last. I’m already itching for the next book in the series.
I was hooked the moment I realized that the hot jock was the one tutoring the girl. It’s usually the other way around, right? Which, of course, made my need to read this story so much more.
Wes isn’t the jock like the ones you’re used to reading about. He doesn’t party hard or sleep with multiple women, and it focused more on his classes and basketball. When he wants to be, he’s actually really swoon worthy!
Blair needing help in class is the only reason she asks Wes to tutor her. With some convincing on her part he agrees.
I gotta say, this book took me by surprise. I wasn’t going in with high expectations but this story knocked me off my feet. It was everything I didn’t know I needed — a compelling storyline, swoon, humor and the best secondary characters.
This could have been a five-star read, towards the end something occurs that lowered my rating. I won’t go into great detail because of spoilers, what I will say is, Wes got off a little too easy. In my opinion, he didn’t grovel enough when he should have. And that’s all I’m going to say about that.
Other than the teeny tiny issue I had, The Assist should be on everyone’s TBR. I can’t recommend it enough. I’ll just be here impatiently waiting for Joel’s story.
