2 Frenemies.1 Disastrous prank.RyderEver since she sat next to me in class and gave me death eyes, Willa Sutter's been on my shit list. Why she hates me, I don't know. What I do know is that Willa is the kind of chaos I don't need in my tidy life.She's the next generation of women's soccer.Wild hair, wilder eyes.Bee-stung lips that should be illegal.And a temper that makes the devil seem friendly.She's a thorn in my side, a menacing, cantankerous, pain-in-the-ass who's turned our Business Mathematics course into a goddamn gladiator arena. I'll leave this war zone unscathed, coming out on top...And if I have my way with that crazy-haired, ball-busting hellion, that will be in more than one sense of the word. WillaRather than give me the lecture notes I missed like every other instructor I've had, my asshole professor tells me to get them from the silent, surly flannel-wearing mountain man sitting next to me in class. Well, I tried. And what did I get from Ryder Bergman? Ignored. What a complete lumbersexual neanderthal.Mangy beard and mangier hair.Frayed ball cap that hides his eyes.And a stubborn refusal to acknowledge my existence.I've battled men before, but with Ryder, it's war. I'll get those notes and crack that Sasquatch nut if it's the last thing I do, then I'll have him at my mercy. Victory will have never tasted so sweet.Only When It's Us is a frenemies-to-lovers, new adult sports romance between a women's soccer star and her surly lumbersexual classmate, complete with a matchmaking professor, juvenile pranks, and a smoking slow burn. This standalone is the first in a series of new novels about five Swedish brothers and their wild adventures, ending in a true happily ever after.

Willa plays soccer, so usually professors would work with her schedule, but not her math professor. He suggests that she get tutored by his grumpy lumberjack-looking TA, Ryder, who also has a hearing deficiency. How will they overcome their negative perceptions of each other?

This one had its cute moments. I felt like the characters didn‘t have enough romantic chemistry. I did like the inclusivity of a character w/ a hearing deficiency.

I really wanted to love this but it just wasn‘t for me. I liked the premise and the writing and Ryder‘s large family (each of whom gets their own book in the series), but there was just too much sex for me. It made me uncomfortable to read after a point. But if you‘re looking for a series that has plenty of sex and good characters, then this might be right up your alley! 🤷🏻‍♀️ I also didn‘t like the disability rep in the second half.

Here‘s my progress so far with my chosen series for #SeriesLove2023! So far I have finished 3 series, and made progress in 2 more.

I‘ve also been tracking all books in series that I‘ve read this year. So far I‘ve read 45 books in series, DNFd 4 series, finished 4,& started 19 new ones.🫣

I have plans to read the whole Man Of The Month Club series next month, as long as finishing off Arizona Vengeance, Boston Classics and Hope Eternal Ranch.

TheSpineView Wow! That's awesome! It feels so good to something marked complete. 1y

Here‘s everything that‘s left on my set TBR for January. I‘m going to challenge myself to see how much I can get through this week.

Hoping to find the audio for Never Trust A Guy With Fangs. ❤️

StayCurious I doubt it‘s on audio - I think just in KU. And I hate to say, it might not be worth searching out 😑 our group‘s first pick of the year was met with “meh” 1y
Clwojick @StayCurious oh no! I don‘t have kindle unlimited! I use my libraries app, and Scribd. 1y

Solid romance, little predictable but the challenges that the main characters had to overcome, the loss of a parent and adult onset healing loss, made the story compelling and their connection worth rooting for. My first book by the author, definitely not my last!

Friends, listen to me when I say this. If you haven‘t read the #BergmanBrothers series yet, ask yourself whyyyy. These books are the comfort food, perfect steamy goodness, Hilarious moments, real life issues, and they are quickly edging my Winston Brothers over. Luckily, my heart is big and I have lots of room, but…just saying. I really love this family. 5 brothers & 2 sisters, plus their significant others. You need these stories in your life!!

LadySadieReads love them!

This book hit me hard! Viking Lumberjack heroes with hearing loss..who knew they‘d be my undoing! Willa aggravated me somewhat, but I grew to understand her. Ryder was and is everything!! He‘s such a dirty lumberjack with a heart that will makes your insides liquify. So sensitive and yet possessive in all ways that count.

I didn‘t expect to cry during this read. Some parts just resonated deeply and a good author just pulls emotions out of you.

katies.library @KorriesKorner I did love this one a lot! 2y
krisreadsromance I absolutely need to start this series, @bookstakatie has been suggesting her books to me for like three years now lol (edited) 2y

Finally, this got me to a bingo on my #bookspinbingo board.

It was sweet. I was looking for a “grumpy/sunshine” romance (send me your recommendations)

I loved their chemistry

TheAromaofBooks Yay bingo!!! 3y

Only when it‘s us
Chloe Liese writes great books with characters you can‘t help but fall in love with. They‘re flawed and so real and often hilarious.

Ryder lost most of his hearing two years ago and it‘s thrown his life off track. Willa is also dealing with a lot- school, division 1 soccer and her mom has cancer. These two are both amazing and I loved the slow burn frenemies relationship that grew through the book.

LiteraryinLawrence I haven‘t heard about this one before. Sounds good! 4y
Lauren_reading @LiteraryinLititz her second book in this series is even better. The author is autistic and her female lead in the next book is also autistic. 4y
