Loved this series.****There is bullying and verbal and physical parental abuse that can be a trigger.****

Gotta love this story of the nerd and the jock. Blair is the first girl who has ever turned Cage down. Now what starts out as a bet turns into something more real for both of them. Blair even gives him the courage to finally stand up to his physically and emotionally abusive dad.

JL Beck and C Hallman are two of my favorite authors. I’ve read them for quite some time now. I adore their books. I find myself repeating praises because, quite honestly, it’s what they deserve. Their stories are fresh, original, interesting and well written. In one of my earlier reviews of one of their books I asked “In how many different ways can you say these two write excellent books?” It gets to be a bit of a dilemma, this trying to write new and original reviews for these two. They are consistent in their quality.And here, in The Jock, are the praises going to sound familiar if you’ve read my reviews of their previous works. They are prolific writers, producing excellent stories, and The Jock sits easily with all of the rest. This story pulled at my heart. I went on a journey with these characters while they grew in spirit and matured into decent adults. I went through their heartaches and their joys. It is an emotional read, rendered very well. Blair and Cage are easy to care for, to root for, to hope for. Their struggles are upsetting. Their story draws you in and holds you close until its sigh worthy conclusion. I loved every page. Highly recommended.

A book about a guy who is a manwore. And the need who throws her beer on him only to make a bet that he could make her fall in love with him. And then he is the one who falls head over heels.

I’m not usually into College age romance but this was a decent read. It’s very insta and had some steamy scenes. I didn’t love that he literally calls her “nerd” and “virgin” as if they were cute nicknames, but I did love that when he knew she was his he went after her and didn’t care what anyone thought.

I've read other books from these authors so when I saw enemies to lovers I expected something different, darker I guess. However, this was a good book that I would recommend.

This was an ok read. Not like the others in the series. I found myself skimming some chapters. Will give the next book a try.

The hard headed fall hard. Love the character Blair I related to her. I am a self proclaimed nerd. Love cage

First off, I'm really hoping this series isn't over yet. I'm not done in this world yet.Second of all, I went into this expecting one thing and got something else. Not that it's a complaint or anything, Cage and Blair hooked me from the start and I was rooting for them.They each have walls way high up, but for different reasons. And I thought this was going to go one way, but luckily it didn't.I really love getting lost in a book by this author duo. They're quickly becoming a pair that when I see they have a new release coming, I get super excited about it.

Loved this entire series.

The jock is a installment in the Northwood series. It's about a football player Cage Wilder and a nerd Blair. It's hot with passion and erotic sex scenes. What surprised me the most with the emotional connection that these two have. Wow i love this lovestory.

This was a great read! I could not put it down!!!I totally recommend this fun college sports romance!Now I want to read the other stories in the North Woods series!

I love this series of books that can be read as standalones. They just keep getting better. All the emotions are there as usual. If you’re looking for a steamy, sexy read that will make you angry, laugh, and cry then pick this one up.
