Publisher's Summary

A painfully awkward love story.

Incomprehensibly awkward Elizabeth Wilde is desperate for love. Connection. Intimacy. After a lifetime of romantic failures, the 21-year-old gamer realizes she needs help. Professional help. She needs...a sex tutor.

The devastatingly hot jock Austin Jacobs is just the man for the job. As the reigning campus sex god, he has the playboy act down pat. But underneath those six-pack abs beats a broken heart. He doesn't trust people, and he sure as hell doesn't believe in love.

The odd couple strikes a deal. Four weeks of "tutoring" for $5,000.

When Austin coaxes Elizabeth out from behind her computer screen, the attraction they feel is undeniable. They're both a little broken, but somehow their jagged edges fit. And when their world comes tumbling down on top of them, they each have to decide if this weird thing called love is worth fighting for.

Beautiful!!

Wow! This book was amazing! I couldn’t put it down!! The heroine is super shy with no faith in herself. On the other hand, the hero has a big ego. But both have broken edges. It’s an amazing story about personal discovery and the difficulties of navigating relationships and trust. And learning to have faith in yourself and trusting others. It’s sweet and sexy and the end is absolutely beautiful!! The narrators are perfect!! They portrayed the characters perfectly!! I can’t recommend this book enough!!

Quirky Heroine Fan here!

I love a good love story that is non traditional and give me a quirky female lead any day and I’m a happy camper 😊

Perfectly Awkward!

I was recommended this book by a friend that I truly trust with all things. This is an author I have never read, but it is new adult and Teddy Hamilton narrates the audio. Those 2 things I almost always say yes to. This book is super cute. The female heroine Elizabeth is so wonderfully smart and awkward. She was not able to make friends on her own so she does it in her own way. She also has a very logical mind which I truly relate to.
She is uncomfortable around all the opposite sex. So she decides to look at this from a statistical point of view. Find someone with experience that can help teach her to be more comfortable with the opposite sex and to get rid of that nasty virginity problem she has. It doesn't hurt that is is also a guy she has been crushing on and is also her perfect idea of a guy.
Austin is all the things you expect from the hot football player everyone wants. He doesn't do girlfriends. He is hot can get anyone he wants and does. At first he says no to her proposition then things change and he goes for it. He is the perfect counterpart to get Elizabeth out of her head. The story is more than surface level and ends up diving deeper than expected, but still very well done.
My favorite part is he is so accepting of who she is eccentricities any all. The next part I love is that the don't make the hot Barbie girl an asshole. They could have easily made her the bad guys. I adore that they made her a smart supportive character that is able to forgive. Elizabeth is pushed out of her comfort zone but in the end she ends up exactly where she is supposed to be.

yes!

I want to read all of her books now. The audio was also fantastic! Highly recommend this sweet and quirky romance.

Excellent!

A great story that was made even better by the narration people, especially the male!

Oh Elizabeth

This book was so endearing. You can’t help but fall in love with Elizabeth and her quirkiness. And that is exactly what happens to Austin.

Loved it!

Funny and heart warming story with a great ending! Narrators were great. Good message of unconditional love.

BEAUTIFUL book

great story with amazing narration! couldn't stop listening. hoping for more soon. would definitely recommend

Don’t miss out on this one!!

This book was so amazing, I couldn’t put it down. I stayed up until 3 in the morning and I couldn’t keep my eyes open anymore so I had to wait and finish it the next morning. You really don’t want to miss out! Oh and the narrators were amazing. It can ruin an audiobook when you don’t imagine the voice lining up with the age of the characters, I was glad to hear that that wasn’t the case here.

Amazing chemistry and banter

I started getting the 5-star tingles pretty much right away with this book. The narrators did a fabulous job, securing all of those stars. Fake relationships is a favorite trope of mine, and obviously this one didn't disappoint. Besides the amazing chemistry between our main characters, there was fun banter, and good side characters, there was an emotional component that I wasn't expecting. Both characters had backgrounds that made them real to me, gave me some depth to connect to. All around, a very good story by a new to me author that I would be happy to read of.

perfect narration and story

I've been in a book funk lately and haven't been able to find anything I have enjoyed. FINALLY, I found something. This book had two amazing narrators, which is what attracted it to me in the first place. Rom Com, Jock & Geek. Full of smiles, a little angst, and some laughs. I really enjoyed this book. Worth the credit or $$ .
