Toward the end of January 2024, I was coming out of an intense January term course and entering my final semester of grad school and I needed a break so I leaned HEAVILY into graphic novels. It started a random evening when I passed the bookshelf in our bedroom where my graphic novels live on the top shelf. I was like “OH I could read all of #Hockey! tonight as a palate cleanser.”

Book 1,000: Betting on his BF (Nerds vs Jocks #4) – Eli Easton & Tara Lain
Similar to the authors, this is the book that I didn’t know I wanted until I was halfway through the book. I thought PJ and Felix were both great characters when they made their appearances throughout the series so far, so was glad to see them get a book.
Betting on His BF continues the trend of the Alpha and Sigma frat brothers falling for each other. This one, however, takes place 100% away from campus and the only time we run into anyone from the other books is during the epilogue.

Book 999: Head to Head (Nerds vs Jocks #3) – Eli Easton & Tara Lain
Of course, if half their frats start falling in love with each other, the presidents of each would too. Head to Head brings us Jax, the hipster president of the Sigma nerds, and Rand, the soccer-playing, pre-MBA president of the jocks.
These two had the most hatred for each other than any of the other members of their frats and that’s just coming from them being background characters. The bulk of that seems to have been from Rand’s point of view, but even Jax loses his cool more often than not.

Book 998: Coaching the Nerd (Nerds vs Jocks #2) – Eli Easton & Tara Lain
It’s a toss-up whether this or Schooling the Jock is my favorite from the series. They were both sooooo good.
Coaching the Nerd happens simultaneously as the first book and features, Sean, the smartest of the Sigma’s who has made a New Year’s Resolution to get in shape and lose his virginity, and Bubba, (Gawain – swoon) a massive third-line defenseman on the school’s football team that’s never met someone who wasn’t a future friend.

Book 997: Schooling the Jock (Nerds vs Jocks #1) – Eli Easton & Tara Lain
After finishing The Hot Cannolis by Eli Easton and Tara Lain and knowing I didn’t want to jump into a more serious novel. I searched on Kindle Unlimited for a nerd/jock MM Romance and this series popped up. When I noticed the authors, there was no question about reading it so I dove right in.
Schooling the Jock is a twist on your classic enemies to lovers crossed with the nerd/jock trope and I am here for it. On the one hand, you’ve got Dobbs, the head of the university’s quiz bowl team who is openly gay and smart as hell, and on the other, you’ve got Jesse, the school’s prized running back (I think) who happens to be smart as hell and closeted.
