Kip Carmichael is no pretty boy.
He's a rough. Dirty. Giant. Hair so unruly, and a beard so thick, his friends on the team call him Sasquatch.
The first time Sasquatch lays eyes on Theodora "Teddy" Johnson across the keg at a party one night on Jock Row, she'd been relegated to the sidelines by her jock hungry "friends."
Week-after-week, he watches beautiful but bashful Teddy getting overshadowed, and overlooked. Sasquatch finally broad shoulders his way through the crowd, offering to to be her hairy godmother. But the minute their eyes meet? He's a goner.
Teaching her the RULES for winning a jock will be the easy part. Not falling in love with her is going to be a losing game.
REVIEW:
3.5 stars
***
This was a cute book! Jock Rule is Teddy and Kip's story. Teddy is a college student without much experience with guys and a bitchy best friend who strands her at parties. Se keeps getting dragged to parties at the Rugby team house and stranded by her friend. There she meets Kip, a member of the Rugby team and a loner who has sworn off women. Kip has a big bushy beard and a man bun. He observes Teddy at the parties and decides to help her become better at talking to guys by becoming her "hairy godmother". They become friends and it eventually develops into a relationship.
I enjoyed this book, although I felt it took a little too long to get going. At almost half way, very little had happened and I didn't see how a romance would unfold. I didn't feel any chemistry between Teddy and Kip for the first half of the book where they friend-zoned each other. Their physical relationship seemed to come out of nowhere. The book did feel pretty YAish in general. There was no sexy times until the last few pages. Teddy was a naive virgin who was pretty clueless about the opposite sex. I did like her, though, as well as Kip. I felt like they ended up being a good couple. And I did end up liking the book, despite it's slow start for me. There was no real deep emotions, but I was entertained and it was funny.
Overall, Jock Rule is not quite as good as the first book in the series, Jock Row, which I really liked. But, it is still a light, easy, fun read! I look forward to more from this series and Ms. Ney!
