I’m sleeping with the nerd.
The nice guy.
The science geek who wears periodic table t-shirts around campus.
That’s my dirty little secret, but it began long before he unknowingly transferred to the same college I attend. We met at the summer camp I was mandated to work at, and our hush-hush affair started behind the kayak cabin and in the darkened canteen long after our respective campers went to sleep.
When Mick Barrett, rockstar name a complete red herring, enrolls at Salem Walsh University, we’re both shocked the first time we bump into each other. And he’s … surprisingly cold. With goals and secrets of his own, Mick is closed off and uninterested, something I’ve never encountered from the opposite sex.
My bruised ego has no time to recover, however, when he discovers the real secret I’m keeping, one that’s even more detrimental than our steamy summer fling. Agreeing to become my tutor, and help me save my future, the glasses-wearing swimmer, with the body of an Olympian under that punny math sweatshirt, begins to grow on me. Again.
Except we both have bigger things to focus on than sneaking around. Plus, we’re not made for each other. He’s aiming to be the next doctor of our generation, while I’m just hoping to survive my Saturday morning hangover.
Too bad our bodies, and hearts, start to believe otherwise.
Which has me questioning; can my dirty little secret become a happily ever after?

My Review
I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review.
I love myself a cute nerd. And Mick is the definition of that. Jolie is a bit of a spoiled brat, but recent events have definitely knocked her down a few notches. After meeting each other at camp, where they are both counselors, they never expect to see each other again. So color them BOTH surprised that Mick is now attending the same school as Jolie. Well...kind of.
Mick was definitely the one that made this book for me. He's sweet and thoughtful and will help anyone who needs it. Jolie annoyed me at the beginning, but got better as the book went on. She cared too much about what her friends thought about Mick and she had to learn how to live her life for herself. I found myself annoyed at that, but then I remembered that this book was about college kids who probably did have a lot of growing up to do.
Overall, I did enjoy this book. It's a sweet story that is mostly lighthearted, but it does have a little drama thrown in. If you enjoy NA, then this could be the book for you!
Author of romance novels such as The Tenth Girl and Privileged, Carrie Aarons writes books that are just as swoon-worthy as they are sarcastic. A former journalist, she prefers the love stories of her imagination, and the athleisure dress code, much better.
When she isn't writing, Carrie is busy binging reality TV, having a love/hate relationship with cardio, and trying not to burn dinner. She lives in the suburbs of New Jersey with her husband, daughter and Lab/Great Dane rescue.
