Jock Romeo is the sixth book in the Jock Hard series and is Lilly and Roman's story. Lilly meets Roman on her first night at college when they are both hiding out from the crowd at a party. Roman is a studious, cute nerd who still lives at home. Lilly is a college cheerleader with a very pushy, stage-mom of a mother who forces her to do cheer, when she actually hates it and wishes she were an art major. The two meet and have a friendship-type connection but don't see each other again until a few years later. Roman finally decides to leave the nest and moves in with Lilly's best friend and her boyfriend. After they meet again, Lilly and Roman become friends and develop feelings, which leads to romance and a relationship.
I enjoyed this book in general. I did feelt like the story and characters really toed the line between YA and NA. Yes, there are some R rated moments, but only a few really quick ones. The romance and the characters thoughts felt very young to me. Not because they are immature characters, but because they are very inexperienced. I didn't feel a lot of chemistry between the characters, nor love. I got "friends who started to like each other" vibes from them. Also, Roman is not a Romeo by any means and he's definitely not a jock. He is a cute nerd. I guess the Jock was supposed to be Lilly, because she's a college cheerleader, but she hated cheerleading and there are no actual cheering scenes on page, practice, games, etc. So I didn't feel like the title fit really. Still, I liked Lilly and Roman in general. They were nice people - timid, shy and sweet with each other. They both had to figure out how to communicate their feelings. I was happy they found a potential first love type relationship with each other. I liked that Lilly was a crafter too.
Overall, I liked Jock Romeo, but didn't completely love it. Still, I do recommend this book to readers who like college romance and sweet, first love stories.
