The Campus Diaries #2

Diana Dixon can’t believe that one of the new owners in her condo is Shane Lindley. The puckboy has been making her life hell since his breakup from his longtime girlfriend. Apparently, his new purpose in life is to go through the Briar U cheerleaders roster and get to know them… biblically! They bicker, banter, and fight and Diana just can’t stand him.
When his ex decides to visit and shows up with her new boyfriend, Shane blurts out that he has a girlfriend – Diana. Now, he needs her to go with the charade. On her side, Diana is dealing with an ex who just won’t take the hint and parading the big, burly hockey player as her boyfriend might be the solution to her problem. The only problem is that they are faking it so well it’s feeling like it’s real…
I absolutely loved this one! Though this couple is not a second generation as we expected, they are so fun! The banter, the super hot kitchen and balcony encounters, the dance rehearsals, the fake dating, the friends with benefits application… it all sent me back to Off Campus/Briar U vibes.
Narrated dual style by Erin Mallon and Corvin King, who were the perfect casting choices for Diana and Shane. Erin gives us a spunky, feisty yet vulnerable Diana. Corbin has a voice tailored for the flirty, sexy and unexpectedly soft Shane. It was my first time listening to him and I fell in love with his voice on the spot!
I’m so glad to be back at Briar U, but I loved the condo and its crazy residents! HOA meetings have never been so fun! Or their group chats!
You also get a wonderful big brother, ballroom dancing, sausages, beautiful friendships, a hockey wedding, Dixon’s’ rules and an HEA to melt your heart. LOVED IT!
