Studious

By: Leslie McAdam

Narrated by: Declan Winters

After a disastrous high school game of spin the bottle, I gave up trying to get a boyfriend and spent my time studying instead. Now I’m twenty-four, and I’m not only a virgin, I haven’t even been kissed.

When I meet Danny, a handsome legal hotshot, he catches my eye. Right before I trip on flat ground. Ugh.

He’s got a massive … reputation. He’s the most popular guy in the club, a total playboy with a new conquest every night. There’s no way he’d be interested in me.

But one night after I imbibe too much, he winds up taking care of me. And when I ask for his help with my travesty of a social life, he agrees to teach me how to be less awkward with men … if I let him document my progress so he can win a bet with his best friend.

Even though he’s just my love tutor and I’m just his apprentice, this starts to feel like more.

Too bad it can’t be anything but a high-level seminar in how to seduce someone else.

Studious is a sweet and sexy contemporary opposites-attract m/m romance about a suave attorney who’s scared to love and the shy, nerdy bookkeeper he’s teaching how to be a player. Cue makeover montage and a smoldering first kiss. These heroes most definitely are not falling in love. (Okay, heartwarming HEA guaranteed.)

Exemplary Writing; Flawless Narration

Fun and sharp-witted, this Pygmalian-esque story by Leslie McAdam is easily the best romance I’ve read in many months. The dialogue sparkles. The first-person POV doesn’t get too heavily bogged down with internal angst. It’s the perfect breezy beach/poolside summer read.

Adding to this impeccable audio edition is the spectacular voice-acting by Declan Winters. His performance brings the listener directly into the story and makes it feel real. I’ll be looking out for more of his excellent voice work.

Highly recommended!

I loved this

What a sweet story. well written, Leslie McAdam did a great job with this one. Teenage events change each of the MC's outlook on life and relationships. Leslie's writing makes it easy to avoid the pause button. Nice to see characters from book one. I like series stories that carry the cast throughout. The narration was decent. Declan Winters did a good job bringing out the personalities of the characters. His voice is smooth at bringing stories to life. This is a light hearted, easy to listen to story. I definitely recommend it.👏❤🔥

Really Enjoyed This Story

I quickly got into this story and just could not put it down. I just kept wanting more of this story but in a good way. I'm looking forward to book 3. I enjoyed listening to the audiobook for this just as much as reading it. The great narration by Declan Winters helped to bring the story to life.

I received an ARC and this is my unbiased opinion

sweet n spucy

I loved this story. It grabs you and doesn't let go.
But not only is the story good but the narration is great. I could listen forever to Declan's smooth voice. He brought emotion and interest to the story.

This is Book 2 in the IOU series but stands alone just fine.
I loved all tge characters. Even Danny being a playboy he came across as likeable. He was honest from the get go and watching him slowly evolve was fun.
The whole premise of the blog learning thing for Alden was cute. Watching him go from shy and awkward to more confident was enjoyable. All the office banter is fun too.
It's an overall enjoyable romance well worth the listen!
