About this listen
He's the hottest hockey player in the nation, and I just agreed to be his fake girlfriend.
Theo Brooks is hard not to notice. With his coy smirk, rock-hard abs, and skilled agility on the ice, he's the cockiest of all the jocks and, unfortunately for me, my new roommate.
When Admissions mixes up my first and last name, and I end up living in the male dorms, I feel my perfectly tied schedule loosening with every string Theo pulls. And he likes to pull every single one.
It isn't until I find out that my long-time boyfriend is sampling other girls that things get interesting. Theo proposes a solution to my problem—he helps me make my ex jealous, and I help him fend off the relentless puck bunnies that are doing nothing but distracting him from sealing his future with the best NHL team there is.
So, we fake date. We kill two birds with one stone. The puck bunnies think he's taken. My ex is regretting his poor choices.
But the more Theo Brooks shows up by my side and places his hand around my waist, the more I realize that the lines we drew are blurring. This may have started as a fake dating scheme, but with each misleading kiss, we may both get more than we bargained for.
Weak Side is a spicy fake dating, forced proximity college sports romance. It is a complete standalone.

The story is well paced and I love that the relationship was as well. Theo was swoony worthy and I loved how protective he was of Claire. Claire was a likable character as well who grew throughout the story. I also thought the friends were great side characters and I look forward to the other books.
Couldn't stop listening

The MMC completely captivated me. He's such a moving character, the way he cares for MFC and is so sensitive to her completely managed to stay in my memory even after I finished reading.
The writing managed to combine a lightness that makes you fly through the pages, with an emotional depth that shakes you.
The characters and conflicts seemed real to me and connected to reality, and I was completely sucked into their world.
This book left me with a desire for more, and I'm counting the days until the next book in the series arrives.
If you're looking for a book that will make you laugh, get excited, and maybe even dream at night – this is the book for you.
Yesss 🏒😻

Spoilers ahead ….
The building of the relationship was very drawn out. It took an age for Clare to find out about Chad (this should have happened in a much earlier chapter). Then it seemed to take an age for Clare and Theo to finally get it together. Then we are expected to believe that Clare’s father had only just discovered where she was despite him being one of the richest men in America (apparently). Then the ending was rushed and thin. Clare’s mum who had been a self absorbed vampire most of her life suddenly finds some care to do the right thing? The reason for Clare not knowing her father wasn’t believable. The whole thing was just blah.
It could have been much better with some tighter plotting, some sacrifice of Clare’s mum at the end as she got some sort of comeuppance, and a better explanation as to why one of the richest men in the world was completely clueless! It dragged for three quarters of the book, then rushed at the end.
The narrators were both great. I loved them both and thought they did a really good job.
