Publisher's summary

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.

Appreciated a new listen from Rebecca Jenshak!

So far I have experienced that the quality of the books in the Hero Club series are of a huge variety, many not so good. It's also confusing that the same characters seem to have reaationships with more than one person, as I had already heard Adele's story (also as Chance's sister from Australia) in Filthy Firefighter, but there her love interest was called Hayden Flynn.

This one I liked though! In my opinion Rebecca Jenshak is a solid writer of romances starring jocks, and I really love her Smart Jocks series. This was not as good as the books in that series, they are all a solid 5 - both as stories and narration are concerned, especially the male narrators. Rupert Channing is always good as an Australian, and even though I'm not a big fan of Muffy Newtown/Erin Mallon, she is very experienced and delivers quality (I don't like her voice, but that's a personal preference). As the book was included in my Audible Escape membership, it was absolutely worth the listen.

overall good listen

maybe a bit of a spoiler alert

story touched on issues we have experienced. doubt , heartache, addiction ( in recovery) self worth.


it started strong and even with the addition sadness it was inspiring.

Flinn is a good man stood up at his wedding who finds himself with a cat he bought for his ex and nowhere he can stay with the cat. so he spends two weeks with his friends sister. they become friends nothing happens but feelings

here is the thing. this is where I start to lose interest. Flinn becomes... lost when he loses Adele. ( the friend)

Adele being a recovering addict didn't educate him or explain anything. if you are that far along and able to be in social situations, teachings the language and giving pointers to a friend who you know just doesn't makes sense.
part of recovery is taking responsibility of your actions. Adele did not. as far as I could tell there were not any intermittent AA meetings. AA is not just about the addiction, it is about the behavior.

the writing was done well
performance excellent

think this is a good story, it lost the plot.

Jilted Jock: A Cocky Hero Club Novel

📚🎧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 :)

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!

Sports Romance

This is a great story about 2 people that are opposites but perfect for each other.
Standalone with no Cliffhangers.
She is a recovering addict who wants steady and calm in her life.
He is a soccer player that loves adventure AND they love of one woman.
I love how hard he worked at winning her.

Sports romance with some serious topics

I have listed to a few Rebecca Jenshak sports romances and really enjoyed them but unfortunately this one fell flat for me. I liked the friendship that blossomed between Finn and Adele, she helped him heal after being stood up at the alter and he drew her out of her bubble. I think the fact that Adele had a boyfriend then fiancé might be what made the book just ‘ok’ for me. She knew feelings were growing between her and Finn but she kept trying to fight against them and wanted to play it safe with Richard, which always bugs me because that’s unfair to both guys involved. Both Muffy Newtown and Rupert Channing did a good job narrating, there were moment when Muffy’s accent for Adele seemed a little off but it was still an enjoyable narration.

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)

Worth A Credit

The hero club books have been hit or miss this one was definitely a hit. A strong yet flawed heroine. An alpha hero who gets it wrong but keeps trying because he’s found, the one. Throw in Chance, Aubrey, CJ, Pixy and Marshmallow and you’ve got a story about discovering what truly matters in life. This one worth the 5 stars.
