Tutoring the Player by Rebecca Jenshak {a review}

Tutoring the Player by Rebecca Jenshak is now available! This is the first book in the Campus Wallflowers series, and based on what I've read, I am going to be obsessed with this series. The heroines are relatable, and it is giving me flashbacks to the Hockey Gods series by Xavier Neal. (geeky/quiet/shy/introverted female + popular collegiate athlete)

Are you ready to head back to Valley U and meet up with a new cast of characters? I absolutely am. I first discovered this university when I read the Campus Nights series. It is from that series that the Wildcats Hockey series was born. And, well, I'm a bit in love with that series. Okay fine, I'll admit it, I love the Wildcats Hockey series because it's set in Minnesota. There, I said it.  Not the point. Not the series I should be talking about. ANYWAY...We are back at Valley U. We have a group of 4 friends who are living together. All of them would be classified as wallflowers, and to me that's relatable. Next door to these ladies, is a party house, where a very popular person resides. The person who lives in the "white house" also happens to be the enemy of one of the wallflowers. But that info is for book 2.

As Tutoring the Player begins, we have Daisy watching the party happen, and wishing she could be there. But she's not part of that crowd, and she knows she wouldn't fit in. Daisy also knows that her crush, Liam, is at that party. So that really has her attention. That being said, Daisy doesn't think there is a chance for her and Liam to be together. Different worlds and all that. HOWEVER, they are in a class together. And things are about to get interesting, as Daisy is partnered up with Liam and Jordan. Jordan is Liam's roommate, as well as his teammate on the hockey team. Daisy has zero interest in Jordan, but is absolutely smitten with Liam. One day though feelings begin to change. Maybe it's the "forced" proximity, but dang if Jordan isn't drawing her in. Then Jordan has the idea of how to spend even more time with Daisy. Jordan has decided that he needs a tutor, and Daisy is the perfect person to help him out. This friendship is about to evolve. But can their relationship handle the confession that is about to happen?

I ABSOLUTELY loved this story! From the opposites attract trope, to the shy girl as the main character, I was so intrigued. I see so much of myself in Daisy (and her friends). So I think that is what drew me to this book. Then there was the potential of the love triangle with Daisy, Liam, and Jordan. What started as a crush on one, quickly turned into a crush on the other. I was here for it.

Watching our characters develop, and their feelings intensify was so good. I was rooting them on. The situation with one character had me wondering what was going on. I had a suspicion as to what was going on with them, and I was spot on.

The moment of conflict was interesting. Part of me saw it coming, but at the same time I didn't think it would happen like that. Then there was everything that was going on with Violet, and the conflict between the cousins. That was it's own whole thing.

As much as I loved this book, I am eagerly anticipating the next. The set up is perfect, and I am ready for the hate to love.

If you are someone who enjoys college romances that feature the opposites attract storyline, with a little love triangle mixed in, then you need to go grab Tutoring the Player.

Thank you for taking time to read my thoughts about Tutoring the Player. Please read the book. It truly is wonderful.

I have a type.

I love the good guy.

Responsible and stable. Safe.

So when a beer-drinking, quick-witted, tattooed hockey player asks me to tutor him, I'm suddenly thrust into the world of bad boys and bad decisions.

Jordan is a renowned player on campus.

He doesn’t take anything seriously, except hockey and partying.

But he gives me butterflies.

I’m a wallflower tutoring Valley University’s hottest player.
