The Love Playbook by Jerica MacMillan is live!
Jackson Lancaster is a mystery. At least to me.
He's not your typical jock at all—shy, studious, and apparently not looking to get all the action he can.
I know, I know, stereotypes are bad. But if the shoe fits ...
Except in this case, it doesn't. At all. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen Jackson with anyone, male, female, or otherwise.
When I learn that it's lack of experience holding him back—not lack of interest, and definitely not lack of opportunity—I find myself drawn to the idea of helping him out.
I've been looking for a project. And it seems like teaching Jackson the ways of love and pleasure is just the project I need.
The Love Playbook is a standalone love tutor romance featuring a shy, straight-laced football player and the off beat woman who turns his world upside down. HEA guaranteed!
Caroline's Review
πππ1/2
3.5 stars - Loved the cover and loved the blurb, but I didn’t enjoy this as much as I anticipated.
"I've never been with a guy as inexperienced as him, and the prospect of turning him into the perfect lover is a huge turn on."
Jackson Lancaster is a gorgeous, nerdy jock who blushes as easily as a virgin, and is clueless about dating and flirting. When the very experienced and free-spirited Autumn Mills first offers to be his 'love tutor', he is mortified. However, at 20YO, he knows he needs to do something about his lack of experience. What starts out as lessons of sorts, starts to feel scarily real and has Autumn almost regretting her offer.
"I know she feels something for me. There's no way what we have could be this amazing without a deeper connection."
I don't really know why I struggled with this book. Was it sexy? Yes. Was it somewhat angsty? Yes. Did I like the characters? Adored Jackson and I thought Autumn was fun and unapologetically herself. Both characters had a bit of emotional baggage to deal with before they could really move forward. I found the first half of the book a bit slow, but I enjoyed the second half more. Just an OK read for me.
