IOU Series Book 2: Studious by Leslie McAdam

IOU Book 2

After a disastrous high school game of spin the bottle, I gave up trying to get a boyfriend and spent my time studying instead. Now I’m twenty-four, and I’m not only a virgin, I haven’t even been kissed.

When I meet Danny, a handsome legal hotshot, he catches my eye. Right before I trip on flat ground. Ugh.

He’s got a massive … reputation. He’s the most popular guy in the club, a total playboy with a new conquest every night. There’s no way he’d be interested in me.

But one night after I imbibe too much, he winds up taking care of me. And when I ask for his help with my travesty of a social life, he agrees to teach me how to be less awkward with men … if I let him document my progress so he can win a bet with his best friend.

Even though he’s just my love tutor and I’m just his apprentice, this starts to feel like more.

Too bad it can’t be anything but a high-level seminar in how to seduce someone else.

Studious is a sweet and sexy contemporary opposites-attract m/m romance about a suave attorney who’s scared to love and the shy, nerdy bookkeeper he’s teaching how to be a player. Cue makeover montage and a smoldering first kiss. These heroes most definitely are not falling in love. (Okay, heartwarming HEA guaranteed.)

My Review: 5/5 Stars 

What a fun story! Alden is such a little cinnamon roll and it's no wonder the well known player and afraid to give his heart to anyone, Danny, falls in love with him. How can he resist when you have awkward, shy, genuine, and sweet Alden? Alden hasn't had much luck in the relationship department. He is inexperienced and finds it hard to be himself when going on dates. He's super shy and awkward and lacks the self-confidence he needs. Lucky for him he meets Danny. After Danny saves him from their after work happy hour, Alden finds the courage to ask Danny for help. He may be new at the office, but it's no secret around the office that Danny is a player and has enough confidence to put himself out there. Meanwhile, when Danny experienced his first true heartbreak back in high school, he swore never to put himself out there again. Those you love tend to leave. So he's thrown himself into his job and only having one night stands. But then Alden joins the company and Danny finds himself catching feelings for the first time in a very long time. But he also told Alden he would help him with his confidence. He can't fall for Alden while playing teacher, right? Such a cute story! And I loved that there wasn't anything overly predictable about it. Yes, we know the happily ever after is coming but not the way I would have imagined! There were so many elements and chances for the story to take different directions, but I loved the way this one played out. You can't help but cheer for Alden and Danny. They both deserve to be loved and love in return while being themselves. There were so many cute and sweet moments, I couldn't put the story down! Looking forward to more from this series!
