sweet and quirky story

I love this series and I'm glad that Ollie got his own story. We met him briefly in Naughty or Nice and I felt there was more to him. This story starts with a low point for Ollie and he realised that he needs to change and work on himself and that includes hook ups. He starts working at the library and gets increasingly closer to Graham. They both have their battles but can't deny the connection and chemistry between them and its about dealing with the past and taking a chance on each other and love. I loved this story when I read it a while ago and I really enjoyed listening to it.

A sweet college romance

I initially read Ollie's story when it was part of the Winter Wonderland giveaway, and again after the expanded version was released, but there's nothing quite as nice as letting a great narrator bring the characters to life. I loved getting to experience what Graham really thought of Ollie from their first interaction, and listening to scenes from both perspectives added a new depth to their romance. Whether they were bantering back and forth or stumbling around their attraction for each other, Ollie and Graham were just so adorable together. Out of all the college boys in this series, Ollie was the most misunderstood by far, and it warmed my heart to see Graham look beyond his sexy exterior to the guy who wanted to be appreciated and cared for. As the two of them fell for each other over library non-dates and Netflix binges, there was never a doubt in my mind that these two would walk away from each other. I would have loved to see more of the "in-between" stages of their relationship, but even without that extra content I was very satisfied with the way Ollie and Graham's story concluded.

**I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this book. This review expresses my honest thoughts and opinions.

So much sweetness & snark!

Such a sweet (somewhat slow-burn) romance with plenty of chemistry!

I loved the new year "resolutions/promises" and how these two happened to cross each other's paths just as they made these promises to themselves. The meet-cute felt very real and not the best in terms of being romantic but it was very true to character! These two brought out the best in each other and I liked that they fell in love before they connected physically and while one is younger than the other their differences only made them better! So sweet and another great story from DJ!!

Slow burn college romance

I loved Ollie and Graham.
Ollie is just trying to live the typical college experience, doing all the things and men.
He realizes he wants more after seeing his friends find their partners so he self imposes a ban on men.
Fortunately he discovers cute librarian Graham.
The snarky banter between these two was so good.
I appreciated getting to see them slowly work their way from friendship to so much more.
They balanced each other and despite being polar opposites were exactly what the other needed.
Darcy Stark did a wonderful job narrating and bringing these characters to life.

Im in serious love with this book

This was one of the best slow burn books that I have read this year, the lead up the friendship that lead to more everything about this book is just amazing plus it has some of the best banter that I have listened to in so long, and it just made it such an amazing book to listen to. So with that being said this one needs all the stars and dont miss out on it.

Slow burn college romance

DJ Jamison brings us another wonderful college romance, this time between to very different characters, Ollie and Graham.
Ollie puts himself on a self imposed ban on sex and dating, and of course that's when he meets and gets to know Graham, his opposite in every way. They definitely start off at odds, what with Ollie being all loud and sweary in the library where Graham works but there's also a spark there that has a chance to grow when Ollie takes a job at that same library. Graham is a total sweetheart with a bit of anxiety when it comes to talking to groups of people and would love to be left alone to work and research but Ollie makes sure to bring a smile and charms his way into Graham's heart.
These two together make for a sweet, slow burn read. I enjoyed how the relationship progresses between the two of them and there are several supporting characters that bring support and friendship in the form of a best friend, a sister and a grandmother.
Darcy's narration brings these characters to life and it's easy to fall into the story. I didn't think there was that much variation between the MC's voices but the emotions the felt really came through.

College students, opposites attract. Super cute!

When we met Ollie in Naughty and Nice, and then again at the very beginning of this book, he’s a bit of a hot mess; understandably so, since he’s barely out of his teenage years, having just finished his first semester in college.
He shows a great amount of maturity going on a self-imposed, two-months sex ban, during which he wants to change his way. Of course, it’s just then that he meets cute and introverted grad student and librarian Graham.
They start out as co-workers and friends, though they both feel the attraction, and the ban Ollie is on allows the relationship to develop slowly and more deeply.
The book is sweet and low angst and it can absolutely stand alone, though you may appreciate it more if you know what role Jonas (from Naughty and Nice) has in it.

A sweet dream

when he finds the one he realised just what he had been missing. A nice story of two young men falling for each other and finding the patients to wait to prove their love ❤

Cute story

Super cute low angst story with a lot of depth. Ollie and Graham are very much opposites but the draw they feel for each other is pretty intense. I loved the build up, it’s like edging in book form!
Very satisfying HEA.
