3.5+ stars…really enjoyable…Oh Connor…dear sweet Connor. I have invited you into my “House of the Huggables” to live with Ryan from the ICoS series and Parker from "American Love Songs". I will love and spoil and take care of the three of you and lavish many hugs…not in the dirty, perverted, older...

I found this on one of my lists and it sounds fascinating. I love anything to do with anxiety and/or musicians. There is something about the desire to jump into the music to get past awkwardness that I can completely identify with from high school and college.The writing was pretty good. But here...

I loved this book because you can't help but become attached to the characters, but I felt the lack of Jared's point of view.

4 StarsThis is one of the very sweetest, and most heart warming stories I have read in a very long time. Normally I have a very low “sweet tolerance” in books I read – yet the author managed to avoid the trap of overplaying it. The balance of sweet and angst is a delicate thing, and she pulled it of...

This is a lovely story. It is a familiar theme, shy non athletic young man and the more outgoing jock. The similarity ends there. It becomes more and unfolds beautifully. Connor is an intelligent, gifted violinist, shy to the extreme. He does not make friends easily. He meets Jared while tutorin...

An excellent book! It's all told from Connor's point of view, and it's wonderfully done. I loved the characters. The second MC, Jared, is a closeted jock who comes to terms with his sexuality. Connor also has to accept his sexuality and stand up for himself, too. There is some angst and a lot of ins...

I almost did not buy this book, because I have read so many plays on "nerd jock" romance, but the recommendations were great and price was great too, so I caved in.I am certainly glad I did, because while I cannot say that this book covers any new ground (and how much new ground there is in romance ...

I felt guilty giving this two stars, but if I'm going by Goodreads ratings, "it's okay" is how I feel about it. But for some reason I just couldn't bring myself to click that, so I gave it three stars. But if we're being honest about my feelings, it's really 2.

For me, this story runs a little deeper than than your typical nerd meets jock story. There’s a sort of half sadistic, half sympathetic wince when, at around 35% of a 300-odd page book, you just know the MC is about to have his heart stomped on and broken into hundreds of little pieces. Most of thi...

3.5 stars. Good m/m romance about a college freshman who plays the violin and has crippling social anxiety. He's nearly incapacitated by anxiety when he realizes that the closeted football player he's tutoring is gay and likes him.
