I devoured this so quickly-Cobey and Vincent were just so cute together.

One of my favorite storylines for college romances is a tutoring plot, especially if it's paired with a jock/nerd trope. I don't know what it is about them, but they just do it for me every single time.

Cobey and Vincent are roommates. Cobey is a football player and Vincent is immediately wary of him based on past experiences. But from the very beginning, Cobey is friendly and sweet towards Vincent, and it doesn't take long for them to form a little friendship in which Cobey becomes a safe space for Vincent that he's never had before. He finds himself confiding in Cobey about things he's never told anyone else, like that he's gay, and that he's a virgin...

An adorable little deal is struck between them where Vincent teaches Cobey math and Cobey teaches Vincent how to lose his v-card, but it becomes clear right away that there's only one person he wants Vincent to lose it to, and that is himself.

Cute fluffy goodness. This is very low-angst and medium-heat. But poor Vincent broke my heart with his background story. Like he never received a birthday present before? Ruined. Me.

I think of all the FU books I've read so far, this is my favorite. I can't believe this is only my second N.R. Walker book. I need to read more ASAP.
