The Studying Hours: How to Date a Douchebag

I loved the snarky characters, I appreciated the way Jamison held her own against Sebastian. The dialogue was sharp and quick. I enjoyed the journey of their friendship. I had a bit of trouble with the dream sequences. That is not my favorite literary device. I'm looking forward to reading Sarah Ney's back list and the next book in this series.

It was raunchy and crude.....but it was funny. Maybe I was in the perfect frame of mind- but I found myself laughing out loud at the ridiculous one liner chapter headings. This book was well written and the characters were well thought out. Nice to read a book without all the heavy angst that is so popular right now. Try this one.

I enjoyed the story, great out loud laughing and the humor was fantastic. But don't get me wrong I like books with sex but when they are speaking it a lot, I start skimming the book and then I'm disappointed. The interactions were funny.

This book is surprisingly good. It was fun, fast and I couldn't put it down. I'm not normally a New Adult Romance reader--don't particularly like reading about colleged-aged kids but this was very good. Excited to read Zeke's story and I liked it so much I'm planning on getting the paperback. FYI I only buy the PB if I LURVE it. And I did. *wink*

What an incredibly fun book!! Those chapter headers are life!! This was my first Sara Ney book and I can assure it won't be my last. This is the kind of book we all need on occasion. The perfect book to cuddle on the couch when you need a good, light-hearted book. The banter between the two main characters was spot on. I want to be Jimmy when I grow up. She is the perfect female character in my eyes. Get this book now!! You won't regret it.

This book has escapism. You have the jock vs nerd thing going except the jock has a 3.7 GPA. You have a friends to lover theme done in a humorous fashion. The flirting is adorable even with the over the top crudeness Oz can dish out. Adult themes so not for the younger reader and a HEA.

I enjoyed the book especially the interaction between Oz and Jameson. It was funny and sexy. There wasn’t insta-love though they were physically attracted to each other, they were friends first (study buddy) before taking the relationship to the next level. I liked Jameson with her sarcasm and she was full of surprises. Dressed prim and proper, she was an excellent snowboarder and lived with a bunch of sorority girls.

Sebastian is the epitome of a douche...

This book had me cracking up!
Sebastian, the male lead was so incredibly...well, douchey.
I loved how he didn't do a complete 180 when he met Jameson. I makes it so much more real that he had to work or fight against himself to figure whats going on in his one track (*cough* sex) mind.
Fun and flirty book.
I'll definitely be grabbing book two when it comes...

Sara Ney is a genius!!! This book was everything I love in a book. The tension between Oz and Jameson was electric, it was a slow burn that had my nerves alight as I waited for them to take that next step. The humor, sassyness, and playful way all these characters interacted made this such a fun and amazing read.

So many things rushing through my head. Jameson and Oz are a match made in hell. Funny, cocky, sarcastic, I swear it's like they were made for each other. Sara Ney definitely threw in some curve balls and had me worried at a few spots. But I couldn't be happier with the outcome. I'm not sure I'm ready for Zeke! He's going to be a douchebag of epic proportions!

This book is everything I love about New Adult.

Sebastian and James have incredible banter and they push each other and bring out different aspects of each other and I loved every second of it. Also, Oz’s dreams were absolute perfection!!

Slightly nerdy girl gets the hot jock, after lots of sexual tension, flirting and dirty talking of course. Nice to read a book where the main female character is not over the top sexy but more of a regular girl and the main male character is well.. a douchebag. At least at first.

I loved the witty banter between the two main characters. They had me cracking up at times and smiling a lot. There was a lot of built up anticipation in this book and a hell of a lot of sexual frustration.

The banter, push and pull between the main characters had me hooked and I devoured this book. I took a chance stepping out my comfort zone to what I would usually read and loved every second - the very second I put down this book, I went straight to the store and one-clicked the next one.

4.5 stars. This book was hilarious, but really not too typical. a wrestler is definitely one I've never read about. Sebastian thinks Jameson is a caridgan, pearl wearing good girl. except she's not. she's funny and witty and knows about boys like Sebastian. Sebastian gets whatever he wants bc of who he is, too bad Jameson has no idea who he is.

I enjoyed this book . Jameson's character was nothing like I expected her to be she was so quiet and conservative . Sebastian was your typical guy, jock , life of the party . Once Jameson and Sebastian start dating all bets are off and watch the sparks fly .

Such a fantastic book. I laughed out loud many, many times. I loved how the girl was actually the less sentimental of the two. The guy is the one who freaks out about the relationship. He tries so hard to win her because he likes the chase... and she knows it. Great writing, great characters. I didn't want it to end. Definitely worth reading.

Prom and proper Jameson and outlandish, sexy Oz have very little in common, so it seems, but as their friendship builds to something more they find their mutual attraction undeniable. Great character building in this story. This book proves once again to never judge a book (person) by its cover. Great, humorous dialogue between all the characters in this book.

Romance books aren't usually my thing. But between the fabulous title and the main character being a University Iowa heavyweight wrestler, I just had to read it! (I'm married to a former Iowa heavyweight wrestler). The dynamics between Oz and James is an entertaining read. So great I had to share with my SIL!

This is the new adult/sports romance series I didn't know I needed. I thoroughly enjoyed this book from the first page to the last. Such a refreshing, hilarious, and set af book that I'll be rereading until the end of time.

I love the author’s writing style!!! ??? Jameson and Sebastian’s story was freaking hilarious and sweet and a bit ??? which made it even better ? I can’t wait to read Zeke’s book next!

Oz is definitely the biggest douchebag ever. Jameson, at first glance appears to be conservative, but the sass she gives is awesome and deserved. I absolutely loved their banter and chemistry. A must read.

Jameson and Sebastian are wonderful. Their exchanges are hilarious. This book is fun loving and proves even a douchebag can change when he finds love. I would recommend this book and author to friends.

This is how college NA should be done!

Hilarious banter. - check
Perfect sexual tension and chemistry. - check

Loved it! You've got yourself a new fan Sara Ney. Looking forward to the next one.

I honestly hesitated reading the book when I read the title but it kept popping up in my recommended books....so glad I bought it!!! I loved the blurbs between each chapter...they made me laugh out loud. The banter between Jameson and Oz was real and funny. Looking forward to book 2, Zeke's story.

I love Sebastian and Jameson!!! They're quirky, smart and wonderful together! My only complaint about this book is that it ended too soon, hope there's more about them in future books. Can't wait to read the next in the series!

This book was cute, funny, sexy, and a little bit serious. A great mix, in my opinion. I loved the banter, the wittiness of all the characters. Oz and James may be on my list of funnest characters in a story. Can't wait to read the next book!

This was a seriously enjoyable read. I appreciate that there wasn't any over the top angst, but a slow progression into a relationship. The banter between Sebastian and Jameson was witty and well written.
Looking forward to reading more in this series.

This was my first read from Sara Ney and definitely won't be my last. The title is what got my attention and the excerpt. I totally adore the two main characters and felt that they had the chemistry from the very beginning that will lead them to a fun and meaningful relationship. You would think by the way she is dressed all button up in a cardigan and pearl necklace that she will be uptight and snooty, but quite the opposite and him being an athlete that he's all jock and no brain. But one surely can't judge by appearance alone because Ms Ney has cleverly told a story that break these stereotype without making it farce. I can truly identify with Jameson and feel misunderstood because of the way one is dressed. It's refreshing to see this and wish I could read more books with this type of character development. Overall, love, love Sebatian and Jamesn and highly recommend this book for a fun read. One last tidbit, absolutely thought that the pickup lines and inner thoughts at the beginning of each chapter was clever and funny (making me laugh out loud not just from the story itself). Highly, highly recommend for your next read.

OMG .. this one hillarious romance... i love the humour... how Sebastian meet the woman who can challenge him... Rules after rules... the intensity of seduction is crazy fun... love how the story goes..

I loved this book! fun read with SOME explicit sexual content (nothing hardcore, just descriptive).
I would recommend it to anyone who loves a great "romance" book with an actual plot and excellent writing.

Brings back memories of how I ended up married ?. Loved it. Loved Oz, loved James, loved Oz and James together. Seriously if you like smart-aleck girls, raunchy but slightly redeemable bad boys and witty repartee, buy it now. You won't regret it.
