Learning Curve

Franklin U, Book 6

By: N.R. Walker

Narrated by: Nick J. Russo

Cobey Green

There I was, moving into the dorms at Franklin U and not into the shared party house I’d lived in my freshman year. Last year had been all about football and parties, not schoolwork. Which was why my grades tanked. Why I was one failed class away from being kicked off the team.

Why I needed to live on campus and find myself a tutor.

Funny that my new roommate just happened to be a tutor. Funny that he was oblivious to how hot he was. For a smart guy, he was pretty clueless. Maybe I could tutor him in how to be more outgoing in exchange for help with calculus. I could teach him how to talk to people, how to make new friends. Hell, maybe I could even help him punch his V card.

Actually, now that I think about it…that’s a really good idea.

Vincent Brandt

And there I was, happy to be back at college, happy to be where I was most comfortable. Happy to be starting another school year, happy to start tutoring again so I could earn some money.

And yes, there I was equal parts excited and dreading to see who my new roommate would be…until Cobey Green’s smiling face appeared at the door. A huge football player loved by everyone, gorgeous, rich, and out of the closet.

Everything I’m not.

It doesn’t help that he’s genuinely a really nice guy. It doesn’t help that I make him laugh and we can talk so easily. And it certainly doesn’t help that we start having private tutoring sessions, which end up way more private than I’d ever dare imagine.

I’d ranked top of my class in every subject since the first grade, yet there I was falling stupidly in love with him.

This was going to be a hell of a year. And one very steep learning curve for both of us.

One of the Best in the series !

I will Leave it simple ..... GET THIS BOOK ! Brilliantly written and told !

The best of this series!

I loved this book so much!! It made me laugh and the spicy parts were perfect!!

Such a sweet story! ❤️

This is such a sweet adorable story! No angst and a great palate cleanser from some of the darker books I read. My cheeks hurt from smiling so much 🥰 def worth a credit! Performance was great!! Nick did a great job with both voices!

This was really sweet!

I really loved Cobey and Vincent and their journey to their HEA. The angst was minimal or barely there so if you just want a nice M/M sports related romance where the heroes are stinking adorable this one fits the bill. This one also had a bit of spice so that was really nice! Nick J. Russo was at the helm so N.R. Walkers' vision came to life. Again, I also enjoyed the cameos from the other books in the series popping up!

4 stars - worthy of a repeat listen

Not as Angsty as the Blurb Sounds

I was a little worried when I read the blurb. The other F. U. books I've read (Football Royalty and Mr. Romance) have been funny and light on drama. When I saw one of the characters here was closeted, I worried it would be a traumatic childhood angst-fest.

But it's not! Yes, Vincent's childhood was horrible, but it's presented as being firmly in the past. No flashbacks, no physical abuse, no parents showing up to thicken the plot.

The book is sweet and well-narrated. It has moments that read like a PSA, but they're things you want to cheer for. I enjoyed it and will listen again.
