Book 1,005: Out for the Night (Browerton University #4) – A.J. Truman

This book might be my favorite in the series. I’m not sure if it’s because it’s an opposite attract thing or the super nerd and cool-beefy jock-type or something else entirely. It could be that both find confidence outside of what they usually do, but honestly, I’m not sure.

Out for the Night is the story of Coop, the campus rent-a-date who’s never been in love and had a major glow-up from high school, and Matty the quintessential nerd who has a take-no-prisoners attitude when it comes to getting the best grades possible.

Book 1,004: Out of My Mind (Browerton University #3) – A.J. Truman

Like the last book, this one felt only loosely connected to the previous book. We meet the protagonist for one of the follow-ups, Out of This World, and we may see a few others from the series, but only tangentially.

Out of My Mind is the story of Mac, out and proud after a harrowing childhood, who attempts to kiss Gideon, deeply closeted with so much internalized homophobia, on their first night at campus and that doesn’t end well. Three years later, they’re set up as roommates when Gideon’s unceremoniously dumped by his girlfriend.

Book 1,003: Out on a Limb (Browerton University #2) – A.J. Truman

This book took a big turn for the series. I’m not sure if they’ll all be quite this disjointed, but I won’t be surprised. We got a brief interaction with Ethan and Greg from book one and a couple of others from later books I think, but no real connectivity as Cameron is a friend of friends.

Out on a Limb is a May/December romance with Cameron, a “can’t be bothered with relationships” graduating and heading to Hollywood senior, and Walker, a recently divorced father of one (Hodie) who’s tied himself to a boring desk job after graduating from Browerton.

Book 1,002: Out in the Open (Browerton University #1) – A.J. Truman

I have no clue where this Kindle Unlimited book came from. I’m not sure if I saw the author on Instagram or someone else’s blog or (most likely) I randomly scrolled through Kindle Unlimited and saw it and thought oh university/college campus sure why not.

Out in the Open is the story of Ethan and Greg. Ethan is a second-year student with an itch to prove himself taking advanced classes and bee-lining his way to law school. In one of the classes he worked hardest to get into he meets Greg, a frat boy who is only attending the class because his dad is forcing him to. Needless to say, they don’t get along at first.

Book 1,001: Superhero – Eli Easton

I kept going down the Eli Easton rabbit hole after completing the Nerds vs. Jocks series and stumbled across this in the Kindle Unlimited library. The blurb drew me in because childhood best friends to lovers is usually a really good trope, that’s usually with a gap in between after one comes out, but this one was different.

The protagonists of this novel are Jordan, a nerdy kid who loves to draw, and Owen, the big jock who becomes a state-wide wrestling star and has protected Jordan ever since he came out. It wasn’t until after I finished the novel that I realized some of the scenes may have happened when they were under age and that made me feel a little squidgy.
