Jock Row (Jock Hard Book 1)

I LOVED THIS BOOK!!! Rowdy & Scarlett are two of the most funny and smart witted characters that I have read in a while!!!

Scarlett is by far one of my favorite female characters EVER!!!! She is sassy, smart, kind, caring and doesn’t even know how sexy she is, which Rowdy finds extremely attractive. Scarlett is a really good friend, even though I wanted to punch her friends in the face sometimes. I loved that Scarlett didn’t care who she was hanging around with, she was herself and never cared what anyone thought, well except for Rowdy, but even then, if he didn’t like her for her, then he wasn’t who she thought he was.

Rowdy is big, brawny, smart and arrogant (the cute kind). He wasn’t an idiot like some of his teammates, he took college and baseball seriously, and when he meets Scarlett, it is like a breath of fresh air for him. She surprises him and he likes that they can go back and forth with quips for hours and not get bored. I loved that Rowdy didn’t just dismiss her like some of his teammates. I loved that he waited for her and never pressured her about anything. I seriously just LOVED Rowdy!!!!

The two of them together was explosive. Their banter was easy and funny and the chemistry they had with each other was electric and there from the very beginning. Neither of them were expecting each other, but best things in life come at unexpected times!!! I really loved this couple and I cannot wait for the next book in the series!!!

I absolutely love sports romance it’s one of my top 5 favorite genres to read. Sara did an amazing job with this book. Her characters always have a great sense of humor, flirty and of course sexy and without much angst. I loved every minute of it from start to finish. I promise you will not be disappointed.

After reading the blurb and 1st chapter on her facebook page. I knew I was going to be captivated by Rowdy. He intrigued me good looking, witty and was a captain of a baseball team. Scarlett lives by her own rules and doesn’t care what other’s think. She is beautiful and she is also a smart ass .

While at the baseball house party, Rowdy is selected to kick Scarlett out of the party. Scarlett being Scarlett doesn’t give a rats ass. Seriously, being escorted out by the hotness that is Rowdy? Honestly, who wouldn’t follow a tall glass of hotness to the porch I would be like “Pick me, Pick me!”

Thus began the banter with these two. The way they get to know each is amusing and unique. I loved how the characters became closer the more time they spent together and all the sexual tension.Scarlett is not naïve but is inexperienced when it comes to hot guys.Rowdy might have a lot of experience but he isn’t so confident when it came to showing his attraction for Scarlett.

Ever read a book and you feel like you are watching a show on TV. I didn’t want this book to end the Epilogue was PERFECT for them!

Sara Ney is quickly becoming one of my favorite one-click authors. I absolutely ADORE her ridiculously funny banter, strong characters and steamy story lines that make me want to skip my dinner plans with friends just so I can finish her book! Scarlett finally decides to make a social appearance at the college baseball house on Jock Row, however she's not there to score like her girlfriends. In fact, she's so not into that whole scene that she literally gets herself kicked out of the party and relegated to the very cold porch, under the watchful eye of baseball captain Rowdy "Sterling" Wade. The playful banter between Rowdy and Scarlett was GOLD! It doesn't stop these two from having weekly meetups on the porch instead of inside the party. Never have I ever loved reading their social interactions more (see what I did there?!) Scarlett was that perfect blend of slightly naive and majorly quick witted. Rowdy gave as good as he got (and then some... winks!) But what I simply ADORED was how Rowdy totally morphed into Sterling. He was so incredibly sweet and devoted to Scarlett, and that realization of his big, bad athletic self falling completely head over heels for the unlikely girl melted my heart! I love how they really did get to know each other and become friends. I never wanted this book to end and am so glad it's going to be another fun series like the Douchebag series was. I <3 you, Sara!

I've enjoyed Sara's Douchebag series so much that grabbing a copy of this new series was a no brainer. Sara has a perfect voice to create sassy heroines, douchy guys, and crazy factor of angsty New Adult romance. To call this book a slow sizzling romance would be an understatement. Almost got case of blue balls waiting for Scarlett & Rowdy to stop playing their game and surrender to that lust/love/attraction.

To be honest I wasn't totally in love with Scarlett in the beginning. She came off as that one friend who knows it all and must shove it in your face. This did change pretty quickly when motives became clear... and to be honest when Rowdy appeared in the story line to rein in the 'crazy'. By that I mean to rein in her sass that prevented his fellow team mates from hooking up with her friends.

While the ban started off with Scarlett just simply refusing to bow down to douchebags everywhere, specifically on Jock Row and on Rowdy's team, it turned into attraction. In her protest to finally get into the party both our love birds get to know each other, slowly, with lots of sizzling chemistry, out on the porch in the middle of winter.

In the end the gooey goodness center of the HEA was just what the story needed. I love this story to bits, as will you if angsty enemies to lovers new adult romance is your preference.

Meh.
Major meh.
I forced myself to finish, skimming pages. Honestly I got a bit tired of people smirking. There was always someone smirking. Almost like the author doesn’t actually know what a smirk is.
I’ve liked a couple books by this author in the past but the last couple have been rushed and sloppy with loads of misused words. Like smirk...
There are far better books in this genre.
I hope Ms. Ney finds her way again.

LOVED. LOVED. LOVED. I finished Rowdy and Scarlett’s story the same way I started, with a sappy grin on my face. These characters sparked from the very beginning as an unorthodox meeting started the laughter train that didn’t stop once… They were thrown together by typical college, jocky behaviour, perhaps not human being’s finest hour. But even if Rowdy’s teammates were one degree of separation from jerky that allowed their unusual courtship to begin….

“… don’t ever play games with me.”

And it was unusual. From dates that weren’t dates to sexting/not sexting, the Captain of the baseball team and the marine biologist to-be stuck in the Midwest, had conversations that were bitingly funny and wickedly smart. A jock and a nerd may be a cliché but their romance was anything but. Told from alternating perspectives, I could hear the warmth in their sarcastic banter, feel the emotions beginning to build… Each week upped the emotional ante and the feels building along the way were pure, shivery gold…

This is the first time I’ve read this author and I can’t wait to catch up on all her titles while I wait impatiently for the next story. Rowdy and Scarlett invited me in to the baseball house (or at least its porch) and I don’t want to leave...

**Reviewed for Nerdy Dirty & Flirty**

Oh my goodness, I loved Rowdy and Scarlett together. They're just so adorably cute. ADORABLY. From Scarlett's sly innuendo to Rowdy's much more in-your-face innuendo to the way she feeds him because he's ALWAYS hungry. I don't know. These two worked for me. SO HARD.

Flat out, I liked their silly games that allowed them to get to know one another while they were wiling away the time Scarlett was on her time-out. I liked that Rowdy found a way to keep her to himself without being a total douchecanoe about it. I liked that Rowdy decided he wasn't going to back down once he realized how important she was to him. And I loved, loved, loved Rowdy's mom. She really was the hip, cool mom. Especially when she was taking notes for her next book. (What? that amused me. A LOT.)

Bottom line: a sweet romance (sure, sure, Rowdy's dirty talking was more on the raunchy side, but he's just so darn adorable with Scarlett it comes off as sweet. I dunno. I think I have a thing for dirty talking college athletes with a hidden cuddly side.) and a FANTASTIC start to a new series. I'm all in for the next book. I seriously can't wait.

Ohhhhh, this story was soooo cute!
I have to admit that it wasn't love at first read, meaning that the first chapter left me a little unsure on whether I would have liked the female character, Scarlett. I didn't really get her personality, her friendship with the party girls, so I was left a little baffled after the first few pages.

But I shouldn't have worried, because from the second chapter till the last one I couldn't stop reading. I fell in love with both Scarlett and Rowdy, their awesome banter, their off the chart chemistry.
The road that brought them from friendship to something more really filled my heart with love <3

Both of them were really clever, witty and quick minded, and I had so much fun reading about her they spent their Friday nights together :P

One thing that I really appreciated was that they are both young college students, but they appeared quite mature, with their head on their shoulders.

Last but not least, I floved Rowdy's mother! She was hilarious, and I really hope she will use Scarlett and Rowdy's love story as material for one of her romance books!

Scarlett is a marine biology major stuck in Iowa. She is outgoing, but practical when it comes to going out. Even though she doesn’t really like parties, she goes anyways because there isn’t anything else to do.

Rowdy is a baseball player tasked with keeping the party in line. He takes his roll as captain seriously. That is why he has no problem kicking Scarlett out of the party when she upsets two of his teammates.

Scarlett’s determination and witty comments attract Rowdy instantly. Even thought the attraction is there, I would still classify this book as a slow burn.

They develop their friendship on the porch of Jock Row. They play games and get to know each other on a personal level.

This book was so different than any other books I have read. The plot was so unique, and it was so much fun watching the characters open up to each other without the pretense of wanting to be in a relationship. They just like each other’s company and truly want to be friends.

I cannot wait to see what else Sara has in story for this series. There are so many possibilities!

I simply freeking loved this book! Like really, really loved it. When I heard Ms Ney was writing a new series I was so over the moon, hoping they were going to be as good as the douchebag series. This book was just as good if not better! Scarlet rocks. She is smart and has a smart mouth and attitude to back it up. She gets a wrap for being a cock blocker at the baseball house and gets herself evicted by none other than Rowdy Wade the baseball teams captain. They spend the next several weeks on the porch of the baseball house on Friday nights talking and getting to know each other. There is a ton of funny banter, ribbing and teasing between these two that had me laughing several times during the book. I loved how Rowdy is this big tough jock but has such a soft spot for this girl. Like he really falls for her. The best scenes in this book are the ones with him and his mother. They are so damn cute and funny. This book is so well paced and is really great. I can't recommend it enough, if I could give it ten stars I would. I am so looking forward to book 2 in this series.

Rating:5 stars

I remember reading my first Ney book and thinking “This chick knows how to write a damn book! I’m gonna stalk her forever now!” Well.... each new book she writes just cements the fact that their is no way she will ever be able to rid herself of me lol.

Scarlett and Sterling are so perfectly written. I want to not only bang Sterling (sorry to my hubby but book boyfriends are H.O.T), but I also want to be Scarlett’s bestie.
The anticipation leading up to all of the sexiest moments killed me, yet brought me excitement all at the same time. It was a wild rollercoaster of sexiness and I want to ride it again and again.
My favorite type of love story is one where they love their best friend. This one was beautiful. Realizing your partner is your best friend is the best kind of love their is and Ney wrote this progression beautifully.
Now I just need the next one in this series... no big deal... but give it to me now before I have to result to sending you a glitter package Ney. Lol, but seriously...

I loved the Douchebag series so color me thrilled when I heard Ney was once again going back to college to write about athletes, this time the baseball team. I have to say though.....Rowdy Wade is unlike any of her previous DB heroes. Rowdy is one of a kind, the elusive unicorn in the college sports world. He's anything but a douchebag and I fell head over heels for this thoughtful, romantic, sexy and sweet man. I loved his relationship with his parents (so funny!) and I loved watching him get to know and fall for Scarlet. These two had an easy chemistry and their relationship built off of the friendship they quickly developed by spending time together every friday night. It was a true delight to see their relationship develop and flourish and I swooned quite a bit throughout the story over Rowdy's actions and words. There was so much to love about this book. Ney truly hit it out of the park and I can't wait for the next book in this series!

I loved this book! Sara Ney always writes a fantastic story and this one is so full of love and laughs. Exactly what I love. This books was hard to put down and I actually read it in 4 hours. I couldn’t stop.

College romances are some of my favorite reads and this one is so high on my list.

Rowdy Wade and Scarlett Ripley are opposites! But they totally fit one another so perfectly! Rowdy drew the short straw to kick Scarlett out of the baseball house on Jock Row. She was ‘Cock Blocking’ some of the other players in the house. Not a cleat Chaser like the other girls, Rowdy was so surprised as they fell into a friendship. Meeting every Friday. The front porch became their place and we watch as these two become best friends.

When Winter Break comes along Rowdy knows he can’t wait that long to see Scarlett so he invites her to Florida. We watch as the sparks fly and we watch as these two fall in love. We watch as Rowdy makes Scarlett his <3.

This was a easy read that will have you flipping the pages. These two are fun, funny and so adorable together.

Highly recommended.

Swoon, that’s what Rowdy Wade made me do throughout this entire book. I felt like this story was a bit sweeter than Sara’s other books, the characters are similar and are definitely copasetic to the crew from the Douchebag books, but there is definitely a difference in the style of writing.

I really liked Scarlet’s brand of different, she’s a bit of a ball buster and she definitely doesn’t care what people think about her. It’s easy to fall for her, to root for her to get everything she wants. Sterling is beyond sweet, despite first impressions, and he’s a total closet romantic. Falling for a guy like Rowdy would be so easy, he is caring and gentle and honestly one of the most adorable book boyfriends I’ve ever read.

I really enjoyed the book, there was passion and romance and some major cheese but it was definitely a fun read. Lovers of sweet reads with the occasional appearance of ridiculous douchebags will rejoice for Sara’s new series!

"I play hard and jock harder, and these little games I’ve started with her? I’m playing to win."

Thank heavens for Sara Ney and her writing.

Y'all! This book! Pick it up, read it and then read it again because it's that good.

My jaw hurts from smiling through out the entire book. It's funny and made my insides feel good. (Don't be dirty)

It makes me miss those firsts and being young and falling in love. There's nothing like that emotion.

Scarlett and Sterling are so cute together. The way they meet. The way they become friends. The way they love. It's all so happy and joyful.

There were a few things here and there that caught my attention and why I gave it 4 stars. There were some grammar/editing mistakes which I normally overlook but there were more than just one or two and I couldn't let it go. There was something that annoyed me with Sterling but it would be a spoiler.

This book is like eating an endless bag of chocolate chip cookies. The first bite is good. The second bite is better. But after the hundredth you are starting to get full and sick of cookies. This books starts off good. The meeting between the characters is different but a bit juvenile. However, it serves the purpose of giving the Scar and Rowdy the chance to meet. The conversations on the porch are cute and memorable.

The thing about this book is that it is overly sweet. This story desperately needed a moment or two of drama to break of the pace of the book. And there was never a real moment of strife or struggle between these characters. There does not need to be a ton of over top drama. But people do have bad days, misunderstanding do occur between friends and lovers, and sometimes characters say things they don't mean. Some type of alternative moment was needed. The story became way too sweet.

Sara Ney is one of my favoritist RomCom authors. I probably have a good 6 RomCom authors that I will read no matter what their blurb says or cover looks like… Ms. Ney here is in that select group. She makes me hoot out with laughter! Jock Row was way more than a Romantic Comedy though. I couldn’t stop reading! It was completely adorable! I’m thrilled that this is the beginning of another Sara Ney series!

Sara Ney writes banter and playfulness that you can’t help but feel endeared to all of the characters! I love to see the friendship between Rowdy and Scarlett. These characters might be my favorite as of late. They were just so darn relatable, so likeable! Scarlett could have easily been my bestie with her mischievous ways and again, the banter was fabulous! Seriously, I could barely handle the chemistry between them! Ms. Ney is nothing short of a master at creating this fun and sizzling relationships!

I absolutely loved this book. It took me back to that age and being in love.

Scarlet attends a college party at the baseball house with two of her friends. While there she is escorted out of the house and banned from re-entering by the hot baseball captain, Rowdy. Instead of leaving Scarlet remains on the porch and she and Rowdy argue and talk. The next week Rowdy again bans Scarlet from entering the house but stays with her on the porch. Week after week this happens until their friendship turns into more.

To fill their time, Scarlet and Rowdy play, Have you Ever and occasionally Would you Rather. This was how they got to know each other so well. Best idea ever!

I look forward to the next book in the series.

Jock Row is the perfect sports romance! Rowdy has a job to do, keep Scarlett out of the baseball house. He's going to do it the best way he knows how by flirting!! It's cute, has great characters and just hit the spot for me! I've been reading a lot of deep feels books and this was the perfect lighthearted read!! The games they play on the porch are so perfect. I'm in love with the confidence they both have!! Sara Ney has a knack for writing confident characters and is a real go-to for me in between books full of deep feels. She has a great writing style and will just make you feel good after reading her book. I realized I can never have enough jocks and I'm going to be more than happy to add Rowdy to my harem!!! ??

Jock Row is yet another great college love story by Sara Ney. It’s sweet, funny and unique.

If you’ve read and loved Sara Ney’s “How to Date a Douchebag” Series than you’ll love this one too! It’s a little bit different than her other books but just as hilarious, hot and emotional.
The “prequel” Switch Hitter is the perfect start into this new Series and the first book Jock Row doesn’t disappoint either. No one writes college romance as exciting and as funny as Sara Ney. The chemistry between the two main characters, Scarlett and Rowdy, is on fire. Their banter and sexual tension is just over the top!

Jock Row is a perfect combination between funny banter, hot as hell scenes and just the right amount of emotions.

Ok so the blurb for this totally caught my interest. I will admit, the first 10% or so was a little slow going and I wasn't a fan of how the guys were being jerks to Scarlett. However, things quickly turned into an amazing, drama free, sweet and a little spicy story that I fell in love with. Sterling and Scarlett were completely perfect for each other. They were adorable! I loved that he was a total jock but had a softer side. He got nervous, was endearing and sweet and romantic. She was feisty and independent and had a vulnerable side. This was exactly what I needed. No angst, no unnecessary drama. Just a great story about two people who meet in an unusual way, become unlikely friends and then fall in love with each other.

Sterling (cringe) aka Rowdy (cringe again) and Scarlett (one of the most overused names in romance) meet when Rowdy had to eject her from the party because she was being obnoxious to a couple of the baseball guys. One Friday night on the porch leads to another and another and so on. They become friends and eventually fall in love. Took forever for them to make it to the bed. Scarlett got on my nerves at times. Rowdy (ugh) was adorable. Only two things bothered me. One, it took too long for them to have sex and two, I hated their names. It was written well, no glaring typos, and it was a sweet story. Not quite five stars but very close. I do recommend this book.

Sara Ney is one of favorite authors. I had stopped reading her more recent books as they weren't her usual funny, sarcastic low angst love stories and I was disappointed. I thought I would try one more time with Jock Row, book 1 because of the introduction. I am so glad I did. Thank you Ms. Ney you more than made it up to me with Scarlett and Rowdy's story. It is perfect; has a the things you write so well athletes, loveable H/h (Rowdy is my new book boyfriend) slow, not relationship build up, hot, steamy sex and true love. This is a special story and you taking the time to character build shows shows. I anxiously await your next book.

Honestly, I had doubts about this new series. On the one hand, because I did not want "How to Date and Douchebag series" to end and on the other, because the last book by this author disappoints me and the magic I have always found in her books was gone. Still, I decided to give this book a chance and with two hands I say I'm more than happy. The story is pleasant and fun, and the development is well done. At first glance, the
characters are completely different from each other, but they are in fact complementary to one another. I can definitely say I can not wait for the next book of this series.

This book was a sweet, banter filled, college romance (which I happen to adore) that left me with a smile on my face and another book under my reader belt. Rowdy and Scarlett had amazing chemistry, and the way they met made me LOL. The back and forth had me flipping the pages at warp speed. Sometimes awkward but all the time endearing. Rowdy was so awesome...Scarlett was adorable and together they were just cuteness overload. Angst low. Jock high. C**kblocker CHECK. I am excited to read more in this series. Sara Ney always brings humor and heart to her stories and this one had it..

I absolutely loved everything about Rowdy and Scarlett. Though their first meeting was less than ideal for Scarlett, this book immediately hooked me with their back and forth banter and quick witted comments.

I LOVED Rowdy from the start. Despite being a top baseball athlete, he was sensitive and flirty and caring. He was not your stereotypical cocky jock. Rowdy and Scarlett had amazing chemistry and the slow burn leading up to them taking the next step in their relationship was downright SIZZLING. I did not want this book to end. Loved everything about it!!!

I loved how this relationship kind of built up slowly, they didn't just jump into bed. It was fun watching it grow and the anticipation.. the build up was hot as hell!!!
I will say, the beginning of the book, I kind of had a hard time connecting with all the girls. I felt like they really didn't like Scarlett, it just felt off. But I kept reading and still love the book. The friends are barely there and aren't important.
I absolutely loved this book, I couldn't put it down, I totally recommend that you read this book! You won't be disappointed.

I read a review before reading this book that said there was No Angst In this book, and I really needed to read a book like that so I gave this new to me author a try! And I was not disappointed! It was a straight up, two people falling in love organically!! I loved how they handled their first time together, I loved Sterling’s relationship with his parents! I loved the games they played - and I’m not talking about “do you like me, I’m going to make you jealous” kind of games! Thank you for this romantic ride! I truly enjoyed it!!

OMG.
Where do I start?? I was riveted from beginning to end with Rowdy and Scarlett. The banter was witty, the friendships that formed were wonderful and I loved the messages, the whole storyline grabbed me. I have to say this is my favourite book written by this author. I havent read a lot of her work, but she has really nailed this story and I loved how beautiful a man Rowdy was, his soul, his heart just made me swoon and sigh. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would have to say its a definite MUST read.

I devoured this book in one day. It was fantastic. Sara Ney can write chemistry like nobody's business. I've loved every thing that I've read of hers. I keep waiting for her to suck at something but it hasn't happened yet. I love Rowdy and Scarlett. They're hilarious and sweet. Their tension building every Friday. I couldn't get enough.

Did I mention I finished it in one day?
So good. I'm super pumped to read the Jock Hard series. Maybe one of them will finally suck. But somehow I doubt it.

I absolutely adored this story!! Such a wonderful slow burn, friends to lovers romance that I enjoyed every minute of. I swooned so hard over Rowdy......definitely going on my list of favorite book boyfriends. And that first kiss between Rowdy and Scarlett has got to be the most intense, passionate, sensual first kisses that I have ever read. So hot!!

Out of all the stories from this author that I have read, this is definitely my favorite! Can't wait to read more in this series!

I adored this book! I treasure finding drama-free or low angst sweet romances and this book was a great find. Scarlett is a college senior comfortable with being her and calling out anyone regardless of who they are even when it gets her kicked out of a popular party. Rowdy is the college baseball team captain who escorts her out of the party and ends up developing a friendship with Scarlett. This is a sweet slow burn enemies to friends to lovers story that takes on a journey of their relationship.

Never have I ever ... laughed so much while reading a book.
Never have I ever ... thought baseball was cool.
Never have I ever ... started a book and thought "naaaah" and finished it with a "yay"

Well - I might have laughed as much before, but Jock Row will train your laughing muscles! Scarlett and Rowdy are a very special pair.
When Scarlett is dragged to a party by her girlfriends, little does she know she's going to meet Rowdy and even spent the whole Friday night on the porch with him. Or the Friday after that, or maybe even the one after that ;)

Scarlett's inner monologues are one of the highlights in this books (imo)! She sure is not what you first think she is. To me, a very loveable heroine!

I can really recommend this book. The beginning might seem a bit slow, but the story is mainly built on dialogues (and inner monologues) and they're so epic. Get into the storie of a lot of Fridays and enjoy the ride :)

Rowdy Wade is in charge of banishing Scarlett from the Baseball house. On the front porch of said house they meet every Friday night for weeks. They irritate each other like crazy but become friends and then more. While there is not of conflict in this book, I haven't been so entertained in a long time. I laughed out loud and rooted for these two. Scarlett is irreverent, unimpressed and so loveable. Rowdy is ALL guy but still kind and sweet. Loved this book!!!

“Why are you always feeding me?”
“Because you’re always hungry?”

Guess it’s true what they say—a way to a man’s heart is through his stomach!l I’d say I’m sorry for starting off with that quote but I’m not. I ADORED Rowdy and Scarlett like a dog adores his owner. From the very moment they met, it was all laughs and s**iness. Captain of the baseball team? Be still my heart!

I’m woman enough to admit that this is my first time ever reading Sara Ney. I have all her books and always recommend them—so give me some credit, yeah? I’m so happy to have this one be the one I give my Ney cherry to.

“When she says Jock Row, her voice changes, fills with this weird wistfulness and a playful giddiness, like we’re heading to some magical place. We’re not.”

Jock Row is just like fraternity row, only it’s all about the athletes. That’s where Rowdy and Scarlett meet after he kicks her out of a party for being a “c**k-block”. There starts the beginning of a beautiful relationship; friends, best friends, and onto something more. It all starts relatively fast but that never bothered me. The chemistry was totally there and I could see why the two got along so well.

“I play hard and jock harder, and these little games I’ve started with her? I’m playing to win.”

D**n...Rowdy is the best! I loved how easy going he and Scarlett were. The ending was the cutest and I’m so glad this is a series. I want some more from Jock Row.

Absolutely my favorite book by Sara Ney, and I FLOVE the Douchebag series. Rowdy, so sexy, flirty, alpha, dreamy, and totally swoon worthy. Scarlett, I really loved her sass and balls... Off the charts with their banter, scorching hot chemistry and tension so strong and palpable. A slow burn friends to lovers that will go down as one of my favorites of all time and so worth the wait. I highly recommend this book. A must read!!!

I almost stopped reading this book at the first chapter or two (it seemed kind of boring & I couldn't get into it). Thankfully , I did not! This book turned out to be one of the best friendship to lover books that I've ever read. It's so sweet how Sterling & Scarlett looked forward to seeing each other on the front porch every Friday night. I'm so glad I read this book , it's very memorable & one of my favorites now.

Kindle Unlimited has given me some hits and mostly misses but this book definitely falls on the former. It’s a simple story of boy meets girl but I love the getting to know part of the writing that is always missing on other books. At least u can see them getting to know each other. No instalove here.
