Resumen del Editor

He was someone who belonged on the cover of Sports Illustrated instead of in my small beach town.

A sexy, cocky Australian soccer star named Finn was the last person I expected to be living with for two weeks. He showed up at my brother’s house on his wedding night, hot, drunk, and very much not married. Next thing I knew, we were roommates, spending nights watching TV and getting to know one another.

Those two weeks turned into more than either of us bargained for. He was fresh off a broken heart and I had a boyfriend. I wasn’t supposed to fall for the jilted jock, especially when I knew we’d be going our separate ways. All good things must come to an end, right?

Except he’s not letting me go without a fight.

Great audiobook

I recently found Rebecca Jenshak's series Wildcat Hockey and enjoyed them so much that I grabbed this while it was on sale. I was not disappointed. It's a fun read that I had to put believability aside. But I really liked the characters. Finn and Adele just had a lot to overcome and work through. My heart dropped several times.

Rupert Channing and Muffy Newton are excellent narrators. I love both voices. They are smooth and easy to listen to. On the occasion, the accent was lost/changed. It wasn't bad, just a little distracting. I'd choose to listen to them again!

Jilted Jock

4.5 stars rounded up

Rebecca Jenshak has a way with writing Sports romances and this was no different than all her others that I loved. Finn was the perfect, sexy, slightly damaged soccer superstar. And Adele, I loved her character from Cocky Bastard so I’m so happy she got her own storyline here. If wasn’t an easy road to their HEA but Finn’s emails had me swooning hard.

Slow Burn Love

This is a slow burn love story that should have never happened. I loved this book, it not only is a love story but it is a messy life gets a second chance story. Both Finn and Adele have significant others and when Finn's blows up Adele happens to be the one to help him heal his broken heart but not how you think. She is tough and takes no crap off the pretty boy soccer star and when she is faced with a hard decision she follows her head not her heart and we get to watch and they both grow. I actually teared up a time or two reading this and it's not meant to be sad but it's real and life isn't always easy and love doesn't always come to us in the first few chapters. This is so well written and has all the feels.

Muffy Newton and Rupert Channing narrated this book and did a great job. I enjoyed listening from beginning to end.

All the feels for this sports romance!

*review for audible version*

I loved the angst, the banter, and all the steamy moments. Finn is just all kinds of perfect and I'm crushing on him hard. My heart just broke for him after what he went through, I just wanted to reach through and squeeze him tight. Adele is a work in progress, trying to decipher her emotions and separate her awful past from her present. I rooted so hard for these two. The narrators did a fantastic job voicing these characters. Another stunner from this author and I can't wait to read/listen to more from her!

very good

Loved it !! this story. the narrator is so fantastic it's like your really there!! good overall

📚🎧EBOOK & AUDIO REVIEW🎧📚

EBOOK READ & REVIEWED FOR RELEASE: June 2020

I’ve never read a book by this author but after reading this story and stalking some reviews from previous books I can see I have been missing out on some serious word wizardry! I was so caught up in the plot that I didn’t see the end coming! Okay, not the actual event, sorry, just that the story was ending. WHY must stories end?! *cries*

I like this author’s style and voice, at least so far. It was an easy read, slow burn with good chemistry and the story unfolded nicely. The conflict was not one of our hero’s finest moments, but his recovery made me root for him and like him even more. I enjoyed this entire story and would rec it to anyone that asked!

(one tiny sidenote (lol): someone please explain to me this attraction authors have to putting men doing some sort of half strip move with their shirts on their covers? it just makes me laugh every single time. i'm not so put off that I won't one-click over it (because i'm a cover snob) but just why? lolol)

AUDIO BOOK >>> June 2023

Almost three years later and this story still made my heart soar and put a huge smile on my face! Muffy Newton (aka Erin Mallon) and Rupert Channing did really great with this narration. I appreciated the fact that the first half of the book was in Adele’s POV and the second half was in Finn’s a lot more while listening than reading this story. I don’t even think I thought about it while I was reading, but with the audio, it made a difference, in a positive way. I think that going back and forth from Finn (Australian) and Adele would have put to much emphasis on how different Muffy & Rupert sounded when narrating Finn’s character and could possibly sour the whole listening experience. So, because it was more like half and half, that difference didn't really register.

I’ve had many experiences with the two different formats where one really changes my perspective on the story one way or the other but not this time. I was just as happy while I listened than while I read. Okay, those are my thoughts :) Do with them what you will :)

LOVE in audio!

I have to say that hearing this in audio added to the depth of the story. I absolutely adore Rebecca Jenshak and her words. With Jilted Jock, I adored every moment of this story. Adele has always been one character that had intrigued me from Cocky Bastard and Jenshak does her story justice. I felt the raw emotions through Adele as she tries to navigate finding her footing again. With the narrators, it just gave it so much more with it and I felt completely entranced. Especially with everything thrown at her from Finn. My heart broke for Finn after everything that happened to him as well. No one deserves what was thrown at him. But their push and pull was so magnetic and beautiful. I adored every moment of it. Especially when things implode. It was well thought out and beautifully written with amazing character build. Not just for Adele but for Finn as well. The way they just mesh. Their passion. Absolutely everything. It is a stunning addition to the Cocky Hero Club that needs to be read and heard!

Love these characters!!

I really enjoyed this story from Rebecca Jenshak and I love the whispersync price that allowed me to listen to this book! It was well narrated overall, although I thought Muffy Newtown's accent for Adele was a little too subtle and inconsistent. However, overall, I enjoyed listening to this story about Adele, Chance's sister (from the prior Hero's Club) and Finn, a soccer star.

I loved Finn. Left at the altar, he was a sweetheart and I loved watching their friendship grow, which felt very organic and natural. I really liked Adele, although I thought she overreacted a bit to a few things which turned me off her a few times but I always came back because those two together were so great. I loved seeing Chance and his family (including Pixie the goat!) again and it was a great spin off for the series. Overall, truly an enjoyable story and a great addition to the Hero Club! (less)

I really liked this story!! 🥰👄💥❤

I have been listening to these Hero books and thought I had a favorite but I really liked this one and Rupert. Muffy/Erin is a pro so that goes without saying. I loved Finn and Adeles story. I loved the evolution of their attraction and Adele's awareneness of her past yet recognizing she has choices in her future. This is the 2nd book I've listened to narrated by Rupert and I love him. He just made my top 10 list and could move up the more I listen to him. To me he's that good. The narration was different in that you got Adele's POV the first half then Finn narrated his POV the remaining half. It wasn't a problem for me. I've enjoyed the development of the story and characters and Finn's persistence and her brother as her protector. My husband won't appreciate this but I want me a Finn too...lol. 😋

A great story

I love how all of these authors have come together for the hero club series.
I have enjoyed every book so far that I listen to and I like that there is a little bit of crossover between characters.
