Jock Hard #2
Audible audiobook
Author: Sara Ney
Narrators: Chelsea Hatfield and Jacob Morgan
Kip Carmichael is one hairy, bearded giant – to the point that his team calls him Sasquatch. Every week, he watches Theodora ‘Teddy’ Johnson at the parties held at the rugby house. Talk about wallflower – her “jock hungry” friends always ditch her and she even ends up “bartending” for the crowd. Though Kip avoids getting involved with girls completely for reasons, he’s drawn to the beautiful but shy Teddy who’s always overshadowed by her loud friends. He befriends her and proposes a strange “Pygmalion” deal: he’ll teach her how to get a jock. Slight problem: he might want her for himself.
I wanted a sweet, low angsty book after the little swim I took in the dark romance pool and this was just perfect! A short audiobook (around 6 hours long), it just hit the spot. Kip has his (very new adult-y) reasons for hiding under all that incredible amount of hair and I loved how Teddy fell for the Sasquatch anyway, making it a Pygmalion/Beauty and The Beast mash-up and it’s all sorts of adorable.
I specially loved their inner monologues and Kip’s, especially, are sweet and hilarious.
I adored the relationship he has with his sister and their text exchanges are a riot!
Second book in a series that can totally be read as a standalone. Sweet, sexy, fun.
Narration: Confession time – I picked because it was Jacob Morgan. Pfft, you know me by now… lol His Kip is just adorable! Chelsea Hatfield is new to me, I believe (though she sounds familiar…).
