it was amazing

I adore this book so much—it's the cutest ever! However, I have a problem with the title because it hardly fits them at all. The connection was there from the beginning, and they quickly developed a solid relationship with lots of communication. As a result, there was no playing hard to get.

The tutor/student trope absolutely hit, plus a college sports romance? Even better. Additionally, he is receiving a love narrative similar to his parents because they both met and fell in love similarly. Which is the cutest thing I've ever seen, hands down. Given that nobody in the real world will be as good as Knox, Monica made him in a way that has raised my expectations. What a letdown, to be honest. Do better, men, if you see this.

The well-known tight end in football, Knox Maguire, is most likely to be drafted into the NFL. Knox needs to concentrate because he is so busy in his senior year of college. Particularly now that he must enroll in and pass the class he has avoided since his first semester of college. He, therefore, organizes a pack to swear off women and go celibate. However, if he caves, he will have to pay Derek $1,000.

The intelligent but reserved Joanna Sutton is an English tutor who assists students with learning challenges. She also works at the university's bookshop. She recently ended a three-year relationship but has yet to move past it. In particular, she despises football and dislikes being the center of attention.

The moment Knox enters the campus bookstore to make a purchase, there is a connection between them. It gets to the point where he somehow finds himself having to visit this bookstore and talk with Joanna for the following three days, although he never asked for her name over those three days. Even though she dislikes the name JoJo, she wears a nametag bearing that name.

So, when Knox realizes he needs a tutor to pass his English class, he comes across Joanna Sutton's name. He goes to his tutoring appointment hoping that it is who he believes it to be, and he is thrilled to be with the girl who has been on his thoughts a lot lately. The two of them have been practically inseparable ever since, and they continue to fall in love more and more each day. God, when will it finally be my turn?

They have such incredible chemistry together. Joanna and Knox are genuinely so beautiful and alluring. This book is perfect in every way, so read it!
