Smart Jocks, Book 3

By: Rebecca Jenshak

Narrated by: Jakobi Diem, Savannah Peachwood

I’ve spent years hiding in the shadows. He’s spent his whole life chasing the bright lights of the NBA. We have nothing in common, except for the fact our friends ditched us for spring break. I have a bucket list for my senior year at Valley U. He’s the only person I know on campus. I’m ready to start checking things off my list.

Frat party: check.

TP the baseball house: check.

Goat yoga: check.

Skinny dipping: check.

Falling for Zeke Sweets, Valley U’s MVP: not going to happen.

sweet sports romance

I listen to The Tip off by last week and really really enjoyed it. While I havent read the other 2 books in the series I was able to dive in with zero issues. Standalone series ftw. That being said I wouldn't mind going back and reading the other 2 books.

Gabby is a wallflower, after an accident left her face scared she just kinda fades into the background not trying to call attention to herself. But she's kinda ready to let that go. And all I can say is yyyyaaasss honey. Lizzo would be proud.

Zeke is a star basketball player solely focused on his career. He's a good guy (yyyyaaasss) not the jock stereotype at all. He's quiet and reserved and the perfect match for Gabby.

Their adventures together were sweet, funny and just all around perfect. I was rooting for them from the first second.

Idk maybe it's just me and the way I lived my life for so long but I love a good story about adventure. Living life to the fullest and trying new things really guys home for me. I actually have a list of adventures I want to do. And was sooo jealous when those two did GOAT YOGA. I want to do yoga with tiny little goats. I only want to do yoga with tiny little goats.

I hope you pick up this book in whatever form you choose. I do recommend the audio if audios are your thing the narrators are amazing. I really love Jakobi Diem's voice.

Pure lush!

I worried Zeke’s story would be lacking because his lack of communication or emotion in previous books, but the author definitely rocked it!! An excellent story that doesn’t get bogged down on sports details.

Loved this book

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I hope it’s not the last book in the series!

A fabulous sport romance with a lovely couple!!!

“A sweet slow burn sport romance. Honestly I never expected this will be a slow burn romance, I though the passion would explode quickly but I’m so glad the way it happened. I’m so in love with Jakobi and Savannah narration, their voces, the emotions, the feels, everything was perfect! Thanks to Jakobi I love Zeke more, his sexy deep voice was all I needed! Hours that seemed like minutes. The Tip-Off was funny, sweet, lovely and yes sexy! This story is a standalone but I highly recommend you the previous books of this amazing series. Gabby and Zeke’s story was so delightful to hear!!! An incredible sport romance with a unique couple that you’ll love.”

Impressed!

I've never experienced Rebecca Jenshak's writing before. I have to say I was impressed.
Gabby is scarred from her childhood and doesn't get out much. She's at a real campus for the first time and she's got a list of things to tick off before she finishes.
Zeke is on track to be first round pick for the NBA. He's bleeds basketball. He's thoughtful and nice. He is so different from other jocks you read about.
Gabby wakes up something in Zeke he never knew was missing and Zeke sees past Gabby's scars.
This book was a great slow burn, but sweet romance. I am off to start the first book in the series to see what I missed out on!
