Kip Carmichael is no pretty boy.
He's a rough. Dirty. Giant. Hair so unruly, and a beard so thick, his friends on the team call him Sasquatch.
The first time Sasquatch lays eyes on Theodora "Teddy" Johnson across the keg at a party one night on Jock Row, she'd been relegated to the sidelines by her jock-hungry "friends."
Week-after-week, he watches beautiful but bashful Teddy getting overshadowed, and overlooked. Sasquatch finally broad shoulders his way through the crowd, offering to to be her hairy godmother. But the minute their eyes meet? He's a goner.
Teaching her the RULES for winning a jock will be the easy part. Not falling in love with her is going to be a losing game.
I may not have gone gaga over Jock Rule the way I did with Jock Row, but I was still very entertained. This time we get to party at the rugby house on Jock Row.
Teddy is a kind and faithful friend. She’s often taken advantage of because she’s naïve, shy, and way too eager to please. Good thing she has Kip to look out for her. Unlike Teddy, Kip is extremely jaded and actively antisocial. I wondered why he attends the parties week after week when he so clearly dislikes them, but whatever. I was an instant fan of his.
Kip and Teddy’s unexpected attraction to each other slowly unfolds as they develop a friendship. Her wholesomeness weakens his hardened walls, and I loved their candid conversations and gentle ribbing. Their interactions are humorous and sweet.
Even though the plot is fairly predictable, the characters are so stinking appealing. This was a quick, fun read. I hope there are more books in the series to come.
About the Audiobook:
I listened to the audio book, and oh my gosh! Jacob Morgan is amazing! He totally nails Kip’s gruff nature, and his perfect comic timing sent me into fits of giggles. Chelsea Hatfield is well cast and really sells Teddy’s innocence. I wish she made Kip sound more manly, but it isn’t terribly bothersome. The audio was a hit for me.
