Super spicy and great narration

Extra spice and everything nice. And sweet moments too. Excellent narration of the characters once again by Curtis Michael Holland. It easy to distinguish all the characters.

Nerd x Jock trope

This was a cute listen. A little nerd makeover trope from the hotshot jock who needs help with his studies. Will they fall in love? Probably yes.
Low angst, low drama, a bit of cross over from the first book so that was fun.
4 ⭐️ 3.5 🌶
Didn't love the voice used for Noah, it was like a stereotypical nasally nerd voice that felt unnecessary

Lack of conflict and character development

Cute premise. Not enough of a conflict to make you want to cheer for the couple or maintain a real interest in the story. One character who was supposed to be confident and cocky lacked confidence, and the one who was intelligent, was so whiny it made him hard to listen to. It also seemed that he was younger than he was, which was off putting. There was an opportunity for deeper character development but it was not explored, which left the story flat. Also there was far too much detail and inner narrative in the romantic scenes in a way that was boring. I found myself fast forwarding through them.
