Synopsis:
EAT. SLEEP. FOOTBALL.
Those are Jackson Jennings, Jr’s three mantras . His entire life, he’s been a trained athlete with only one end-game: the Pro’s. No girls. No parties. No alcohol.
EAT. SLEEP. FOOTBALL.
Repeat.
Every Friday night, Triple J cruises the strip on campus, bored, lonely and conditioned not to party. But the night he meets Charlotte Edmonds on the side of the road, he wonders if his three mantras will ever be enough.
BIG. DUMB. JOCK.
Charlie has no time for Jackson’s antics. Not when he’s stealing her food or teases her to no end, making her tingle in all the right places. But if she’s ever going to have a boyfriend, she’d choose one who isn’t a Neanderthal. One with manners and actual time to spend with her. Not a hulking man-child who cruises the strip at night, in his Big. Dumb. Truck.
Cute. There isn’t a word to better describe Jock Road. It’s a cute college romance between a big, dumb jock and a girl who wants nothing to do with him. Or at least that’s how it starts out. Jackson (or Triple J as he’s sometimes called) isn’t all that dumb. He’s actually sweet and has Southern charm to boot. Charlotte (or Charlie as her friends call her) just thinks Jackson’s an oaf until she gets to know him. Jock Road is really all about Jackson and Charlotte getting to know each other, dealing with their preconceived notions and pasts, and falling in love.
I loved Charlotte and Jackson. They had some great almost enemy type banter going on at first. Then things started to get cute with some fun text messages. In the end, there was a very sweet and slightly deep love story. The progression of their relationship felt normal and not at all instant. I loved that about it.
I really love what Sara Ney has done with this Jock Hard series. Every book, including this one, is super cute and funny. There’s little drama and no angst. The entire series is pure fun. I loved this addition to the series.
Great review! I’m glad to hear that this one has little drama or angst. Hope to pick it up soon!
Thank you! I hope you enjoy it!
Me too! I really like this series!
You had my attention with that 4.5 star rating, and well, you know you had me at fun. Sounds like something I would enjoy, and who can resist that southern charm.
It really is fun. The entire series is.
So I hate the cover of this, but I think it sounds cute! Great review!
It really was cute. This series might be okay for you. It would be one to try when you get KU again. I’m not a big fan of this series covers either.
Thank you!
I’ve really enjoyed this series so far, and I absolutely love it when characters have fun text exchanges. I’m glad you liked it. Hopefully, I will too!
I bet you will!
Aw, this sounds so good Deanna! I still haven’t started this series yet but definitely hope to get to it soon!
It’s just a light, fun series. I hope you like it!
