This book, this book is awesome, it is everything light and beautiful. Sara Ney has a way of writing, and you can just tell it's her voice giving this book life. This book was hysterically funny, loving, unsure, self reflective, embarrassing, and down right amazing. The dialogue is amazing. The interactions between the two main characters are heart wrenching, yet at times hysterically funny. The secondary characters really give this book some extra life that I feel would leave the book lacking if they were not in it. This is a must read of 2017. Story is told in dual pov.

Sara has hit this new one out of the park! By far my favorite story in the series yet!! I loved the role reversal of confident female with self conscious male. I didn't want it to end, as always Sara mixes romance, with emotion, and comedy effortlessly.

I hated both characters lol. He’s not as bad as her, but I got the ick when he was mentioning jerking off to the girls unsolicited pictures & then showed them to people/sent them to a stranger. While I get they were unsolicited & harassing him it just felt so low for him when his whole thing was he was a gentleman. As for the heroine? Self absorbed, vapid and annoying as fuck. I’m all for her confidence but she was straight up like ‘I’m hot people all throw themselves at me’ constantly flipping her hair (even in her head lmao), and genuinely thought she was better than people because she’s pretty. The fact she messaged him as a joke, then harassed him until he talked to her while catfishing him, then had the nerve to talk to him at that party he went to see her at?! Then got huffy and mad when he didn’t want to talk to her? Omg. And she ACTUALLY said to him she could get whoever she wanted & asked if he was gay because he wasn’t fawning over her. Omg. She definitely grew up in the story, she became less annoying, but there was definitely the dumb ‘crazy redhead’ ‘redhead is a spitfire’ trope that’s actually lame. Some of the sex scenes were great some a little cringe, a few little things kept me from hating the book but the ‘douchebags’ definitely make these hard to stomach legit every guy on that team is so fucking annoying (minus this one he’s the only normie but she was a douchebag so there not much winning)
Also confused by the name? The last two fit the books but what the fuck was being ‘learned’ here? No learning was had?? I thought there would be more of the tutoring or something but nope. Actually annoying me lol

Are you the lucky reader who's going to fall head over heels in love with Rhett Rabideaux?
Him: perfect book boyfriend, super super sweet with great body, has awful friends, speaks French.
You: reader in need of an (almost) virgin jock who is going to steal your heart (and your panties).
Rhett Rabideaux is my ultimate book boyfriend, I've read his book for the first time more than a year ago and no other character has ever made me reconsider my choice. He is sweet, unexperienced, but super sexy at the same time. I just love how rough he is and how sentimental he gets. Laurel is the kind of protagonist I don't really like in romance, too pretty, too sure of herself, but she is actually perfect in this book. She sees Rhett as no other girls did before and while the beginning of their relationship was not the best, their love story blew me away. For once, we get a super assertive girl and a guy who is not, she is experienced, he is not, she is gorgeous, he is not the typical handsome jock. Sara Ney created a story so different from what we can read in sports romance novels and she made me fall in love with her books even more.
This is by far the best book in the HTDAD series but it is at the same time every perfect thing the series is: super good and with diversified characters, low drama (this is like the best thing ever), the love stories are always so well made, every book is hilarious and you will get a touch of silliness/awkwardness that only Sara Ney can give to a story.
So, if you haven't already, read this book! I would always recommend reading the entire series, but I think you can very easily read this one on its own. Then, you can join the Rhett Rabideaux obsessed club!

I loved the male in this book. He was one of the best in his sport, yet wasn't cocky. He was a bit of a loner. Didn't party like the rest of the college crowd. He was smart, yet when it came to the opposite sex, he was pretty clueless. He was not an attractive man, according to most people, and women didn't flock to him despite his high athletic status, but one girl took the time to get to know him and see the beauty in him other's didn't, even if she started out being the douchebag. ;) I think these two characters balanced each other out perfectly. He was the nice 'ugly' guy and she was the beautiful bitch. He was the not really shy, but not outgoing guy, and she was the outspoken girl who wasn't afraid to speak her mind (well, until it came to him anyways.) Their personalities meshed well together, making for one fun, honest and refreshing love story.
There were plenty of laughs throughout the book. There weren't any really sad moments, but there were a few awww moments. There were plenty of times I wanted to slap his friends! lol If you've read the other books in the series, you will see a few familiar faces, but this can be read as a complete stand alone. This is about the college scene, so there is some language and sex, as to be expected, so I would recommend this for the 18 and up crowd.

This wasn't especially good. Not bad, but not good. I don't like the female protagonist or the story. It was readable, though. It gets points for that.

I really, really enjoyed this one. Laurel is my favorite heroine in this series. Zeke from book 2 is still my favorite hero in the series, but Rhett is a close second.
I found the dynamics between Laurel and Rhett very refreshing. After a disappointing first book, books 2, 3, and 4 in the series are fantastic!
Full review to come.

3.5 Stars!
So this took me FOREVER to review! I've been busy with school and placements so reading was (sadly!) put on the back burner as well as reviewing!
So this book was good! I realllly loved our guy, Rhett. Laurel...I absolutely hated her so much! But then she changed and I liked her a bit more. But, I'm sorry reading about a shallow two-bit character was so annoying to me. I wish she "grew up" faster.....
I cannot wait to read more of Ney's work!

This may be my favorite of the series. I truly fell in love with Rhett. Laurel on the other hand I truly despised. She may have been beautiful but her constant need to praise herself and be conceited made her ugly in my book. Rhett's douchebag friends sure didn't change from the last two books either and I'm not sure if I expected it since the main two guys are now in loving relationships or disappointed that the love of a good woman hasn't really changed their attitudes much. I just loved that he was such a gentleman at heart, I just wish he had a little more backbone and confidence. I absolutely loved that he had pretty much no experience with girls and was so nervous with Laurel. By the end she grew on me and I think they complemented each others personalities perfectly.
