SHE'S GOT ME BY THE FOOTBALLS...
My name is Henry Walton, and though I've been called many things throughout my life--tree trunk, moose, walrus--I am now six foot five, solid muscle, and the hottest defensive end in the NFL college draft. This is the moment I've been waiting for: fame, women, and glory.
Just one problem: I'm suddenly in a bad slump. And it started the moment I got dumped by Elle, the nerdy goddess with thick glasses, a smokin' hot body, and a genius IQ.
So what gives? We only dated for a few weeks, and it's not like I've missed her. (Much.) Regardless, all the facts point to one conclusion. Elle is my lucky nerd-charm.
Call me superstitious, but I have to get her back before I lose everything. Even if she's the last girl I should want and she now hates my guts.
Caroline's Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thoroughly enjoyed this second novel in this series.
"Sure she's got a genius IQ and is the likeliest person to build a tele-transporter or some geeky Star Trek sh*t like that, but I'm what the ladies call a bona fide catch."
Henry Walton is fun, gorgeous, rich, and on his way to an NFL contract. So, why on earth would the incredibly brainy, nerdy, albeit sexy, Elle dump him after a few weeks of fun together? Sure, he's not ready for a major commitment but they were really hot together. Whatever! There are plenty of other girls out there who want him. Unfortunately, when his game starts to suffer, he pinpoints the reason back to Elle, and he's determined to win back his talisman - but, she doesn't want anything to do with him.
"I need a man. One who will be there when things get difficult. One who's had to deal with the real world. You only know screwing and football...there is no universe in which your interests and mine could coalesce into a symbiotic relationship outside the bedroom."
Elle has a lot on her plate. She likes to keep her life compartmentalised. She really liked Henry but they are too different, and are on two different paths, to ever be together seriously, so she's cutting her losses.
"She may look like a helpless, lost little nerd begging for social ridicule, but I've yet to meet anyone with bigger balls. Male or female."
I loved this second book. It wasn't as comical as the first one but really good, nonetheless. Henry is fun-loving, focused on his football, whilst trying not to become enmeshed in his family's politics. I loved how much he actually adored Elle and all her quirkiness. Elle was a fab character! She's been something of a misfit all her genius life and, now that she's older, she completely owns her oddness and doesn't really give a damn what other people think of her.
"I'm not normal. I'm so completely different that I might be my own species, but that's my burden and my business."
Henry and Elle seem complete opposites on the surface but, underneath it all, they are really very similar. I enjoyed Henry's efforts in trying to win Elle back and how his feelings for her confused him. It was interesting to see how all of Elle's assumptions about Henry and his life were proved otherwise, as she starts to understand him better. The painful, life-changing sacrifice that Henry makes for her had my heart thumping, but I adored how Elle finally came into her own when Henry's life got turned upside down.
The storyline took a surprising turn and also finished on something of a cliffhanger. Although the next book will actually be about a different couple, we are assured that we will get more of Henry and Elle, too. Can't wait!
