Love and History

The sporty roommate, the professor, and a history lesson....

Holden

Ezra might be the most annoying roommate ever. He’s loud, obnoxious, and full of himself. So what if he’s a tall, muscular, tattooed jock? His tendency to strip to his boxers in the kitchen while helping himself to my food isn’t endearing in the slightest. Nope. Ezra has to go.

However, I have to admit, he’s the perfect fit to play the king for my historic reenactment event. Ezra in a royal robe…oh, this could be quite tantalizing indeed.

He won’t do it, though.

Unless I trick him into a history lesson.

Ezra

Holden is the kind of dude who wears top hats and great coats while teaching astrophysics to brainiacs. Weird, right? But I gotta respect that level of commitment. And I respect him.

Sadly, Holden doesn’t feel the same way about me.

I guess I can’t blame him. Cranking his gears has been a highlight of my stint in geek land. I’ve never seen anyone get riled about yogurt like him. He makes me laugh. And think. And he makes me want things I’d never thought possible.

So yeah, I’ll take that history lesson. If it leads to something more, I’m in.

Love and History is a Bi-awakening geek/jock romance featuring a messy law student, a picky professor, and a lesson neither will forget!

Awwwwwww 🥰

I have loved this series since I first found it. This book keeps up with the theme and is entertaining throughout.

Love this series!

Wow…did Ezra come out of nowhere for everyone or was that just me? It was clear in the last book these two had some major chemistry with all their bickering, but they were so good together!

Ezra is a bit more complicated than anyone gave him credit for and not only is he sweet, but he’s also smart. It was hard to see him being a lawyer with the quick glimpse we got in the last book but as we learn more, it fits. He’s just an all-around good guy.

Holden is a science genius who appreciates art and history and understands their intersection. I wish he was my teacher when I was in college! He has been hurt in the past so he’s guarding his heart. He doesn’t trust that Ezra can be something permanent. It helps they were friends first and then lovers.

They have great snark and banter as well as emotional and sexual chemistry. I love them together!

It looks like this is the end of the series – at least according to what I’m seeing in other reviews. That makes me a little sad, but I’ll see what Ms. Hayes has in store for us next!

Alexander Cendese does a great job as always!

enjoyed it

📖 Story comment: easy pace, interesting characters, entertaining story.
Overall I enjoyed the story, I liked the slow build of the relationship (even though it did start out physical fairly early) and the banter between Holden and Ezra made for some amusing scenes.
Uncomplicated plot, so what I'd call an easy listen - a good story to listen to while doing something else without losing track of what's going on..
< [ℹ️] I haven't listened to any of the other titles in this series and I don't feel like I was missing anything>

🎧 Narrator comment: I enjoyed Alexander Cendese's narration, he suited the characters, has good cadence, inflections and intonations and it's easy to distinguish the characters from each other. I could almost hear Holden's eye-roll at Ezra's sarcasm in the dialogue 😆. Overall an enjoyable performance and he bought the book to life.

I'm sorry to see the series end.

The only thing that I can add to my recent review of the book from when I read it with my eyes, is to say what a wonderful job Alexander Cendese has done bringing all of the books and characters to life. After reading a Lane Hayes book I always say that the only thing that can make it better is to listen to it as an audiobook and this one certainly did not change my mind about that statement! 🥰🥰

Original review below:
The Script Club has been another great series from Lane Hayes. Each of the books has pretty much featured a jock and a nerd but each of the stories were very different – except for the falling in love part – and the stories never felt repetitive at all. One-by-one we’ve gotten to know the young men sharing a house and I’ve enjoyed reading about all of them. Now it’s Holden’s turn…

Holden and Ezra snipe at each other all the time and the other roommates think they can’t stand each other; even Holden and Ezra think they can’t stand each other until… they make a bet and then things start to happen.

Love and History isn’t really an enemies-to-lovers story – although it sort of has that vibe in the beginning – because Holden and Ezra don’t hate each other, they just seriously get on each other’s nerves. I really enjoyed watching them dance around each other and gradually come to the realization that they want to have sexy time together.

Holden helps Ezra finally admit that he’s bi and has been hiding that part of himself for too long. Ezra helps Holden lighten up a bit and not always be so serious. They really work together even though maybe they shouldn’t. Both of them have secrets from their past that impact how they interact with people and Lane Hayes did a great job of hinting at things before everything was revealed.

I love Lane Hayes writing and while this is the last book in The Script Club series, she’s hinted at another series that might allow us to revisit some of the club’s characters. I’m here for whatever she writes next.

Great addition

Love Lane Hayes and her MM romance writing. she writes the best series. Its great to see all these guys in each new book. these are the sweetest stories. Alexander Cendese does an outstanding job bringing all of these books and all of these men to life. Not really a standalone but I guess you could just get this one... Listening to ALL of them is a WAY better idea.

Loved this!

This audiobook was really good!
The narrator did such a fantastic job. I loved his voice it was really fitting somehow. They way he acted out the book was just amazing. 🤗

The story itself was just really cute. There is just something about two people dislike each other and then fall in love with each other. It gets me every time. The book/story was just enjoyable and lighthearted and exactly what I needed.
The author did a great job! This was a worthy ending for this series.

[I received a copy of this audiobook and this is my honest opinion]

Loved

I loved this series!
I’m so glad someone ended up with the house bc those are some great memories made with each other!!.

Fun

I loved listening Alexander Cendese fun and sexy narration of Love and History.

Lane Hayes has a knack for writing light hearted, sweet, hilarious and steamy tales with relatable heroes that steal one's heart. And Love and History is all that and more.

Great story. Great narration.

Although it could work as a standalone, this book is built on the foundation of the earlier books in the series, and both Ezra and Holden have been around since the beginning. This book is probably my favorite because of Ezra. Despite the fact that I am one of those "science nerd" types, Ezra is the character I could relate to the best. He doesn't apologize for being himself, and he accepts people for who they are, not who he wants them to be. Holden and Ezra make an interesting team, and their growing relationship is filled with a host of entertaining moments ranging from amusing missteps to steamy interactions. Definitely worth a read and a reread.

I started reading this series because the idea of a jock/science nerd relationship appealed to my inner jock/science nerd. I was a college athlete at an engineering college, and I can say that I have met many variations of the personalities portrayed in this series. Lane Hayes does a good job of creating realistic characters, and Alexander Cendese does a wonderful job of narrating the series. I look forward to more audiobooks by this team.

absolutely loved it

Alex is a great narrator. his voices are endearing. and the book is fun, romantic, moving. I just loved every bit of it.
