Smart, driven, and always in control, Sidney King feels unstoppable. It’s her last semester of college and she isn’t letting anything get in the way of landing her dream job. Especially not the super hot, soon-to-be world famous rockstar she’s been forced to study with….No, definitely not him. No way. Jax Rider is flying high. His chart-topping rock band is about to go off on their first major tour. Only one semester stands between him and the sweet freedom of the stage. The last thing he expects is the feisty brunette who crashes into his life. They both have one rule: no attachments. Not when all their dreams are about to come true. This is strictly business. They’re study partners and nothing more. THE STUDY DATE is book #1 in the GLASSHOUSE SERIES
Caroline's Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟1/2
”Jax might have all the makings of a perfect guy, but he’s not mine. Because my perfect guy wouldn’t leave me.”
Sidney King has goals. She’s driven and focused and will not be distracted by anyone, especially an up-and-coming rockstar. She’s within touching distance of her dream job and there’s no way that she will give up her dream to follow a guy - even if they seem to share a deep connection. Her personal experience and her fears hold her back from making a forever commitment, but their mutual desire is too intense to ignore, so she’ll make the most the time they have left.
”This girl is mine, and it’s time she knows it.”
Jaxton Ryder is on the cusp of a dream career, and he knows that there’s no point in committing to a relationship when he’s leaving soon. There are no shortage of willing girls but Sidney is something else. From the moment they meet, he can’t take his eyes off her. When they become study buddies, she’s a danger he’s well aware of but has no desire to pull away from. He doesn’t want to stop her following her dreams, but she doesn’t even want to wait for him and give them a chance at forever.
”You’re already in…you’re…inside my skin. Inside my chest. Inside my lungs. Deep within my bones, my heart, my soul.”
I was hooked! Sidney and Jax started off as friends but the tension between them was there right from the start - taut, electric and undeniable. After a lifetime of being let down, she’s stubbornly unwilling to put her heart on the line for someone who might never put her first. This novel had banter, steaminess, and anguish as the couple is pulled in opposite directions. I loved Jax and his willingness to commit to Sidney, even though he didn’t have all the answers to their diverging paths. I loved his thoughtfulness and his care of her. I loved that she brought light into his life. Sidney was so hesitant to let him into her heart. Her trust was fragile and I felt that she was constantly waiting for him to let her down. I loved the conclusion and the way the story wound down. They took so much joy in being in each other’s company. This was a fab first novel and I’m really looking forward to reading about the other band members.
