Those are Jackson Jennings, Jr’s three mantras . His entire life, he’s been a trained athlete with only one end-game: the Pro’s. No girls. No parties. No alcohol.
EAT. SLEEP. FOOTBALL.
Repeat.
Every Friday night, Triple J cruises the strip on campus, bored, lonely and conditioned not to party. But the night he meets Charlotte Edmonds on the side of the road, he wonders if his three mantras will ever be enough.
BIG. DUMB. JOCK.
Charlie has no time for Jackson’s antics. Not when he’s stealing her food or teases her to no end, making her tingle in all the right places. But if she’s ever going to have a boyfriend, she’d choose one who isn’t a Neanderthal. One with manners and actual time to spend with her. Not a hulking man-child who cruises the strip at night, in his Big. Dumb. Truck.
I liked this book, but I loved the audio.
Jackson is a star college football player and a good ole Southern boy, but he lacks social graces – particularly where women are concerned. Charlie is prickly, and Jackson manages to push all her buttons in record time. I enjoyed their bickering and their slow simmering romance.
In order to fully enjoy the story, you must be willing to believe that Jackson, a 22 year-old college student, is as sheltered and inexperienced as he claims. That may be a tall order for some.
The narration makes this Jock Road 100 times more entertaining. Jacob Morgan is phenomenal in his vocal performance of Jackson. His self-deprecation is sweet and funny. He totally nails the man-child depiction. Ava Erickson does a nice job portraying Charlie, but Morgan is clearly the star.
