Resumen del Editor

This college jock is a total player. He's used to getting who and what he wants. Until her....

Katrina

The hottest guy on campus won't stop asking me out. I know that sounds like a good problem to have, but this guy...this guy has no idea how complicated my life is trying to juggle being a single mom and college student.

Every Thursday, he shows up at the café where I work. His cheesy pickup lines and arrogance should have me completely annoyed. I'm not. I can't say yes, but Thursday is my favorite day of the week.

Joel

The hottest girl on campus won't go out with me. I know, I know, that sounds presumptuous, but this girl...this girl has gotten under my skin, and I can't seem to walk away.

Every Thursday, I show up at the café where she works. She's fed me every excuse in the book. I should give up and bang one of the many girls blowing up my phone. I'm not. Even when she says no, Thursday is my favorite day of the week.

Sweet Sports Romance

I absolutely adored this. This is delivering everything you want in a NA sports romance. Swoon worthy basketball star with a hankering for coffee. A tough as nails heroine who is totally self sufficient. She doesn’t need the hunk she wants him and it’s refreshing.

If getting the story wasn’t enough Teddy Hamilton is knocking it out of the park as the H. Summer Morton is also wonderful.

If you like NA and sports romance this is an easy listen. You will have a great time with well developed characters. Totally worth a credit!

...drowning in heart.

Jenshak brings to life a world where two focused people discover that when it comes to the heart, nothing proves to be easy. The Fadeaway is a journey of false starts, heartbreaking interruptions and hard won finishes. Keeping your head in the game means staying true to your heart. The Fadeaway is drowning in heart.

Love it!

I absolutely adore everything about this book! It is very well written, perfectly narrated, and it brought all the feels! I can't wait for more of this series!

Joel and Katrina are perfect together. I was cheering them on from the very beginning. They are both really interesting characters on their own. I loved the way Joel pursued Katrina. He knew when he saw something special and refused to give up. I also loved the way Katrina let him in little by little. Watching her walls come down was a delight. Both of these characters had a lot of layers, and I loved watching them peel away.

The narration is spot on. I loved Teddy Hamilton (nothing new there) and Summer Morton. They brought out every emotion and brought a fantastic listen!

This book is part of a series, but they are complete standalones and don't need to be read in order, but I definitely recommend reading both of them. They are both fantastic, and I can't wait for more!

SO. FREAKING. GOOD!!! Teddy is an audio god!

Rebecca Jenshak sure knows how to write drool-worthy heroes! I thought Wes from The Assist was book boyfriend perfection, but then came The Fadeaway and Joel! Holy mother of all things hot, swoony, and sexy af sports god! Like, whoa. My little bookworm heart didn’t even stand a damn chance. This story owned me!

Joel was ALL. THE. THINGS! I swear to Jesus I ignored all adulting while listening and I’m not one tiny bit sorry. Joel and Kitty’s story was fantastic! It’s what sports romance dreams are made of. From the scorching and electric chemistry to the delicious sexual tension, and above all the perfection of this slow-burn that felt not at all too sow and burned oh so good, everything just worked. Add to that all that top-notch banter between not only the MCs, but also all the great secondary characters, an adorable kiddo, and feels so good I never wanted to come up for air!

Narration was performed by the audio God also known as Teddy Hamilton. That’s all you need to know about that. I’d have bought the audiobook just for Rebecca Jenshak’s writing and Teddy alone, but no! We also get Summer Morton who, frankly, knocked my socks off! Where has she been all my life? Everything in this audiobook is just perfection. It’s one of those audiobooks I finished only to immediately want to listen again right away. 10 stars.

Thursday Cafe Fun!

The Fadeaway (Smart Jocks Book 2) is a new adult sports romance with a single mom twist. I listened to book one and actually enjoyed listening to book two even more than book one. I absolutely loved Joel Moreno's character and his reasonings behind his thoughts. Katrina was a compelling & sweet-natured character. Christian, Katrina's three year old son was adorable and his interactions with Joel were unforgettable. I relished the flash backs to Joel's high school years. An entertaining listen that I revel in. Looking forward to listening to the next audiobook in this NA Sports Romance Series.

Narators Teddy Hamilton and Summer Morton did a crackerjack of a naration. Teddy Hamilton did well in changing his timbre with different characters. His Spanish was fun. His voice is smooth and flowed through flawlessly. Summer Morton brought out all the passion and just the right sentiments in the right places. Together these two brought the narrative and character's to reality.

Fantastic 2nd Book!

I was super eager to read Joel’s story and it definitely met my expectations. Jenshak’s writing keeps you wanting more and both Narrators nailed it! It was an awesome build up and I’m excited to listen to another book from this series. I sure hope to see more from these group of friends and possibly more into their futures?!

Sweet, Heartfelt and Steamy Romance!

I loved this second book in the Smart Jocks series. Joel is so much more than his cocky, player persona he wears on campus. But hardworking, single mom, Katrina only sees a hot, sexy jock looking for his next conquest. So when he visits her while she's working at the coffee shop every Thursday and asks her out on a date, she turns him down repeatedly. Her life is more complicated than she believes he would want to get involved in. But she soon learns that Joel has a sweet, thoughtful side that makes her imagine having more, and not having to do everything on her own. Unfortunately Joel has been burned before, and he is afraid to risk his heart again. Once again I love how Jenshak takes her time building their relationship, giving them a strong foundation for a HEA. I loved catching up with their friends who made this story even more fun but heartrending at times as well. Joel and Katrina are so perfect together, balancing their strengths and vulnerabilities. I totally swooned over Joel when he spoke spanish but mostly because of how sweet and genuinely thoughtful and attentive he was to her adorable son. I loved how strong Katrina is, wanting to be successful and a good mom. Narrators, Teddy Hamilton, and Summer Morton are so perfectly cast as Joel and Katrina. I easily felt all the fun, passion, heartbreak, and love these characters felt. I loved the chemistry between Hamilton and Morton, and think they compliment each other beautifully. They did a great job bringing this sweet, heartfelt and steamy story to life.

College Sports Romance

This is my first time reading/listening to this author and I loved it! It’s a great new adult college sports and single parent romance.

Besides being a star basketball player, Joel is also player, is ya know what I mean. But he meets the one girl who says No. The interaction between Joel and Katrina had me laughing out loud!!!! I had my fingers crossed 🤞🏻 that Joel has what it takes to be in Katrina’s life!

Teddy Hamilton and Summer Morton did a fantastic narrating!

Great read

I love Joel as a book boyfriend. He was so sweet and caring to Kitty and her son. Well- written and super narrators. Love Teddy Hamilton’s voice!

Had Me Swooning

I wasn’t sure about this couple in the beginning, but I ended up loving them together. I’m giving this 4.5 out of 5 stars.

I liked Katrina (Kitty) from the first book when we saw a little of her and Blair interacting. Then getting to know her, and her son, in depth made me love her. She was doing so much on her own, and I commend her for her strength. I also liked how she found time to be with her friends/Joel, and gave herself a needed break from her hectic life.

I was less sure about my feelings for Joel when this book started. I thought he was okay in The Assist, but he wasn’t my favorite of the teammates. He won me over though! Also I adored how Joel made spending time with both Kitty AND her son a priority. A lot of men would just ignore the kid, especially college guys. There were some flashbacks to his past that helped me understand his character more, so those were a nice touch too.

I really loved the narrators, especially Teddy Hamilton. Those Spanish lines had me swooning. Single parent romances are one of my absolute favorite tropes plus the addition of sports made this audiobook even more amazing. I can’t wait to continue with this series!
