I've enjoyed quite a few of Stephanie's books, mainly from the Boston Brawler's series. But this new series about college football, this was a great book to a new series.This book follows Jack and Joni, two students at St. Paul University. They're hometown enemies with deep secrets that need to stay hidden and it takes an impromptu run in to spark a path that leads them to surprising revelations. So much happens in this book from heartbreak, to sports drama, college problems, family issues and j...
I normally don't read a lot of stories about football or enjoy reading about bullies either. And this bad boy sure starts out that way at least. But since I've read other books by this author and liked them, I kept reading. And wow, it was full of surprises. It was emotional with good main characters, who were driven each in their own way. Jack at times was his own worst enemy but he also had plenty of others who fell into the enemy category. We also get to see people who are pulling for him, wh...
I really didn't enjoy this book, it felt like a lot was going on but nothing really happened. We learn about Jack and Joni's history in high school and see them bump into eachother in college. I feel like Jack isn't a "bad boy" as the description says, he was a poor, straight A student with a difficult background, he generally wasnt horrible to people or mean just for kicks. I understood the relationship between him and Joni and felt how it developed was sweet, but it definitely felt more like a...
Filled with drama, I really enjoyed Joni and Jack’s story. I really disliked Jack but he finally grows up and man-ups! Joni is a timid girl who turns into a strong woman. I really like that she was stronger in the end. Both have healing they need to do in order to make their relationship work, so that made the book even more interesting. This is my voluntary and honest review.
🥰🥰🥰Really enjoyed this book. Many times I was on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next! This story was totally unpredictable! I absolutely loved it! Highly highly recommend this one!
Joni is an awkward junior in high school student at the beginning of the story. She grows up during the story to become a self-assured young woman who knows her own mind. Jack is a senior in high school and Joni's own personal bully. He grows up during the story to become big man on campus with dreams of getting selected by an NFL team. They never thought they'd see each other again after high school but once they reconnect, they are drawn to each other. Sometimes destiny has plans for you.Joni
A gritty, extremely combustible and raw romance. Jack and Joni are childhood enemies with a complicated past. They each have secrets and when they run into each other on their college campus the attraction between them ignites and they enter into an alliance to ensure their secrets stay secret. While coming to rely on each other, they develop real feelings and become the support system they each need. Jack and Joni’s story has all the angsty emotion and I couldn’t put it down.
Jack and Joni have quite the history, but is it a history that leads to love or is it the kind of history that makes you want to hate him forever. This story was a fun read that made you wonder if things will turn out the way you think. It had me on edge a few times...so take a chance and give this book a read. I don’t think you will regret it! I had the pleasure of receiving an ARC of this book for an honest review.
I enjoyed the story and characters a lot. Can’t wait for the next one.
I just love Jack & Izzy ... can’t wait til the next❤️
“I won’t hurt you, Joni. If you just remember one thing.” “What’s that?”...“I’m not yours and I never will be.”A story of two wounded souls which knows each other's painful secret past. Joni comes from privilege and Jack from the other side of the tracks. It's a heartfelt story that will tug on your emotions. At some point it felt too slow but it picks up speed quickly. It will leave you turning the page to see how it will all unfold. The author also expertly entwined the intimate scenes to add
This book was good. Believable chemistry, a little short on descriptive hot scenes but what was there was yummy. Joni was a solid heroine and jack was adorably tortured and sexy. Wish we could have skipped the break up but I always feel that way.
DNF 15%Reading this book felt like a waste of my time. I hated sooooo many things about this book. The writing was just atrocious and repetitive. I felt like if I had to hear one more time how poor Jack was, I would've thrown my kindle. I get that the author was trying to make the characters unique, but its just unbelievable that Jack is extremely hot, valedictorian, the most popular guy in school and also the kid from the other side of the tracks. Joni, on the other hand, was a limp noodle. She...

Jack is on scholarship and has no money but is surrounded by many wealthy classmates one being Joni. Jack is hooked on Joni and how hard it tries to convince her is a roller coaster ride. While Stephanie writes a awesome sports romance she seems to bring a real life issue into her books, she does it well. Read this book!
What a great start to the series. I have to admit, I was all over the place with my emotions – I was sad, mad, happy, excited and frustrated! There were so many secrets kept throughout this story that you had to wonder if they were ever gonna come to light. This is the story of Joni and Jack. Joni is the rich, shy girl next door who was bullied in high school by the infamous Jack – the star of the football team who also happened to be poor. Jack was dealing with his own demons and took it out on...

I enjoyed Jack & Joni's book. It was an entertaining read. I received a free copy of the book. And am voluntarily leaving my honest opinion.
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. A lot closer.This story kinda dark but it's fun. It's stressful and hostile but will keep you totally hooked on it all. There's a thin line between love and hate and both take the same amount of passion.Joni's merciless high school bully, Jack, gets away with everything because he's the star quarterback. So much so that she can't take it anymore and transfers schools. Four years later Joni is now transfering into a new college. The same college th...
