***5 Stars***
I loved, or ended up loving, Ash and Georgia from Jock Royal, so finding out that Ash’s baby brother Jack was going to get his HEA? Well, grabby hands happened and I have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed the ride Jack and Eliza took me on. It was fun, sweet, a little geeky and adorkable with a touch of drama that definitely kept things interesting and me turning the pages until the very end.
Jack and Eliza. Jack honestly surprised me, especially considering how Ash is, but it was a good kind of surprise. He’s a little goofy, a little charming and despite doing things that he doesn’t really want to do, he is a really good man. Eliza was a lot of fun. She’s sweet, sassy and totally comfortable with who she is and what she’s into and doesn’t feel the need to do something just because everyone else is.
Their journey to their HEA was a lot of fun to experience. Their first meeting wasn’t a huge collision or anything, but there was interest and a spark. The second meeting, well that was definitely an interesting one, but it showed just how well these two flowed for me. I loved watching their friendship grow, as well as their attraction to each other as they find that they have similar interests. There is a bit of a roadblock to them moving beyond being friends, but once that is taken out of the equation, it doesn’t take long for them to figure out that they both want more.
I will admit that their “ending” felt a bit rushed BUT, I’m not mad about it because I do like that things didn’t get dragged out unnecessarily.
As I said, this was a fun read. There isn’t a lot of angst or OTT crazy drama, there is drama, but nothing too nuts. As for the supporting cast of characters. I loved seeing how much Jack loves his brother and the rugby boys were a lot of fun. Eliza’s friends...I definitely liked one more than the other (we’ll just leave it at that) and as for that epilogue...I’m here for it. Definitely here for it.

IT’S NOT EASY LIVING IN YOUR BROTHERS SHADOW.
Jack Dryden-Jones is easily the worst rugby player on the field—when he moves to The States to follow in his brothers footsteps, he has no idea how he’d hate the game. He’s so horrible he considers faking an injury to take himself out of the game.
Jack is a quick-witted, comic book loving gentleman—not an athlete.
DO NOT DATE YOUR ROOMMATES CRUSH.
When her roommate brings home a random stranger, Eliza is shocked when he makes himself at home; he’s strapping, strong and watching a movie at the end of her couch as if he belongs there.
It makes her uncomfortable in the best way possible.
But if there is one thing she believes in, it’s GIRL CODE: No girl may date her friend's ex, past crush, or guys who have humiliated/used her. And she most certainly may not date any guy her friend currently fancies...
DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Jack and Eliza are two of the good ones—it’s going to take a miracle to keep them apart.
