Getting Schooled

By: Christina C. Jones

Narrated by: Sean Crisden, Adenrele Ojo

Length: 5 hrs and 45 mins

Publisher's Summary

When 26-year-old Reese accepts a position as a grad assistant, she has no idea an unpleasant encounter with a student will lead to the discovery of what she calls "the trifecta": fine, intellectual, and a little bit rude - three qualities she finds irresistible in a man. She has no intention of doing anything with that discovery - nothing long term, at least. But everybody knows what happens to best laid plans.

Jason is a grown man. Twenty-eight years old, seasoned, and scarred by his real-life experience in the world, he's at Blakewood State University to finish his degree and move on. The last thing he's interested in is the female population on campus...but sexy, infuriating Reese might be a notable exception.

This isn't a story of opposites attract.

More like counterparts clash.

Neither of them is afraid to do battle, and neither is willing to back down. Love and war, win or lose...somebody's gonna end up getting schooled.

Contains mature themes.

Cute but wasn’t blown away

This was my first ever Christina C. Jones book after wanting to try her for so long!!! I’m an audiobook lover and so happy when she took the plunge in audio format because I stalked and preordered this one.
The story follows Reese, a teacher’s assistant to her professor mom and a military vet student Jason, that start out a little enemies to lovers.

I think the book and the characters were super cute and adorable. It’s obvious Ms. Jones likes heroes a little rough around the edges and Jason was definitely that instead of her partner bound boyfriend. My favorite thing of the whole romance was that Jason was a military vet that was physically disabled. He had lost part of his leg serving the country and wore a prosthetic and it was just normalized, and not stigmatized like a lot of instances disability is mentioned. My only complaint sometimes was how Reese would make a comment or two like, a man with a prosthetic not supposed to do me that good. It felt ableist and just rubbed me the wrong way but she wasn’t uncomfortable with it nor did she feel sorry for him. That eased my mind about it so that I could just enjoy the romance.

Overall I loved the banter and their back and forth teasing and how respectful he was but I’ll admit I wasn’t blown away by their arc. I didn’t have that feeling when a couple separates for a short period of time and has that grand gesture trying to prove their perfect for each other. It was just more realistic which was nice but sometimes I like a fantasy😭

Either way I’m glad I read. The book turned me into an instant fan!

Loved it!

What a fun, sexy book! Loved the back and forth between Jay and Reese. I'm not big on audiobooks but this one was fun!

Great Book

I read this book a while back and I really liked it. I love Christina C. Jones' books, so I was more than happy to support her audible debut! I also love the narrators... they did narration on a lot of Alexandria House's books, so I knew before I purchased the book that it would be a great performance. I like that the two main characters, Jason and Reese, were up front and played little games (apart from the beginning "cat/mouse" game). When they realized they wanted one another, they went after what they wanted. I loved that.

Happy Listening! XOXO.

great read....

it was a little short but still a good read, Adenrele and Sean Never Disappoints. I Love both of there voices. first time reading this author. it was great story I wish it was longer guess I'll get more from book 2 and 3 since there are 2 more Wright brothers... looking forward to it.

I really enjoy this one

I love this book from beginning to end. The love making was realistic and the relationships were family oriented. I wish I could but the rest in words, but I would not give this book the justice it deserves. I just say I really loved it.

Not worth the read

I am a member of a book club and this was one of the selections for the month. It turns out that the book was terrible and read like a junior author had written it. The book lacked substance for me and was very difficult for me to get into at first. Luckily this book is very short so the pain was over relatively quickly. This book was so unsatisfying that we decided to select another book for the month. The narrators were ok but the book itself gets a huge thumbs down from me.

Can I Get Schooled By Jason?!!!

Christina C. Jones has, once again, proven why she has quickly become my new favorite author. Getting Schooled was hilarious! The characters are young, smart, sexy, cocky, and bougie. I loved me some Jason and Reese. They were the epitome of young black love once they got past their initial dislike of one another. I love how quick witted both of them were. There were so many funny one liners throughout the book. With Getting Schooled, you get a break from the heavy emotional crisis you see in a lot of romance books. It was a fun read without all of the drama. I didn't know I needed a break from books full of emotional roller coasters. The supporting characters were just as entertaining. Devyn and Ms. Imara were hilarious. I really enjoyed this book and I'm uber excited to dive into Joseph and Justin's story.

nice

I wish the book was longer and said more but it's a good read. loved the narrator though that's my man. lol

Love this series

Beautiful Love Story and well written, narration the best. Can’t wait to get the next books.

So yummy, so good.

That was just so good and yummy and just what I needed to listen to. Definitely recommending to friends
