Westly:

The fall from NHL superstar to domestic disaster was swift and painful. When I became the legal guardian of my five younger siblings, I had no idea what I was doing.

One year later, I'm still lost. Coaching CU's hockey team might be the only thing I'm excelling at. But when our star forward is failing math, I have to do what it takes to keep him on the team. Even if it's going head-to-head with Jasper Eckstein.

One minute I'm confronting the notorious hockey-hating professor, and the next I'm agreeing to be his date to his twenty-year high school reunion. I don't know how that happened.

Jasper:

My rules are simple. I don't give extra credit. Ever. No matter how entitled jocks think they are, I refuse to give them special treatment.

But when Westly Dalton bursts into my office like a hurricane, all my principles fly out the window. Suddenly I'm giving extra credit. And I have a date to my reunion.

After one explosive night together, I want more, but his home life is a mess, and I don't want to get in the way. If all we can have is quick thrills, I'm okay with that. It's not like I could ever fall for a jock.

Contains mature themes.

I'm a sucker for this dynamic

I love this dynamic so much between Jasper and West.

Bittersweet since this is the end of the CU series.

Best out of four

This is definitely the best out of the four book series. The MLs we’re great together. I didn’t realize I already read the continuation series. Overall, I really did enjoy this series.

Another winner!

After putting this series off forever because I'm not a fan of college stories, I'm so glad I finally caved because I adored it!!! The entire series is a winner!

This series is not to be missed! LOVED IT.

Each couple brought friendship into love relationships or were enemies to lovers. The final book brought a final HEA and life updates for the entire cast of characters. Alexander Cendese and Iggy Toma can do no wrong in my eye...flawless performances.

Reading it was like skating on ice

Another joyous story with just the right amount of twists and turns and family conflict. Sweet loving family drama! Jasper and West were hot and had a loving friendship. Lots of hot sex that went both ways.

Great series

I really enjoyed every single book. Great stories, great story telling. Hope to find another series by these authors.

My favorite 🥰

I loved all books in the series but this one was for sure my favorite one i loved seeing how their love story unfolded Definitely recommended

Great couple

Love this ending to this series. Sad it's over but glad I got to read them.

sweet, chaotic & lovable

A beautiful & nice end to the series.

We do get all the previous characters from the previous books at the end, but it is a bit too short.

As neither West nor Jasper were especially close to the previous lot, they're not as prominent, which was the only downfall IMO.

I loved West & Jasper's relationship progression. I also liked that the resolution with the bullies wasn't cookie cutter, but it didn't feel a lot more realistic!

It was also realistic that Asher & Jasper didn't become besties, but learned to respect each other!

It was a sweet, chaotic as can be expected with a million siblings to look after 😁, lovable, loving & adorable!

I can definitely recommend 👍👍

An Absolutely Awesome Ending

I'm gonna gush about this story so there will be spoilers ahead

So in here we have Westly, the former NHL player whose parents died and he was made the guardian of all of his siblings. We met him in book three, as Asher is his younger brother. He is drowning as he tries to take care of his family, work, and everything else that goes along with being a young parent.

Because Asher is doing badly in a class, Westly goes to confront the meanest professor, Jasper, who has good reasons to not like hockey players. These two have an instant connection but Jasper refuses to help Asher until he finds out about the parents dying.

Jasper wants to go to his high school reunion to show his bullies that he was successful and no longer an ugly duckling, and we find out they beat him so much his nose was broken often.

Westly goes as his date and they hook up. I loved that Jasper was the one in charge while Westly was submissive.

What was supposed to be a one time thing ends with them falling in love and becoming a family, even though Asher dislikes Jasper.

And while I loved these mcs, man that epilogue. I was so happy to get to see what happened with all the guys from the series.

Iggy and Alexander did another excellent job, though parts of this audio file made it sound like they were very far away from the microphone. It was very noticeable at the beginning of the chapters when the narrators changed.
