Summary
First person in her family to go to college? CHECK.
Straight A's? CHECK.
On track to graduate early? CHECK.
Social life?.....yeah, about that....
With just a few weeks until she graduates, Antonella DeLuca's beginning to worry that maybe she hasn't had the full college experience. (Okay...scratch that. She knows she hasn't had the full college experience.)
So Nell does what a smart, dedicated girl like herself does best. She makes a "to do" list of normal college activities.
Item #1? Hook up with a jock.
Rusk University wide receiver Mateo Torres practically wrote the playbook for normal college living. When he's not on the field, he excels at partying, girls, and more partying. As long as he keeps things light and easy, it's impossible to get hurt...again. But something about the shy, quiet, sexy-as-hell Nell gets under his skin, and when he learns about her list, he makes it his mission to help her complete it.
Torres is the definition of confident (And sexy. And wild.), and he opens up a side of Nell that she's never known. But as they being to check off each crazy, exciting, normal item, Nell finds that her frivolous list leads to something more serious than she bargained for. And while Torres is used to taking risks on the field, he has to decide if he's willing to take the chance when it's more than just a game.
Together they will have to decide if what they have is just part of the experiment or a chance at something real. -Goodreads description
The Rundown
Cora Carmack why are you so great?
I'm always going to be a little biased when I review her books because her Losing It series was my intro to the New Adult genre a few years ago. And it was sweet, hot love at first read! She writes characters you cheer for and fun, flirty, smart stories that you'll have a hard time putting down. To think some of my now favorite authors I may never have discovered if I hadn't picked up Cora's first book...
Anyways I'm getting off track. But that's okay. Reviewing NA should be like gabbing with your besties!
So. Here we are! Back at Rusk University for the third installment in the series! I had hoped for a Torres book ever since I met him in All Lined Up (Dallas & Carson's story). But then Silas unexpectedly and totally stole my little reader heart in All Broke Down and I was like, "Oh my! Can Torres bring it like that?" Trust me, it was brought and then some!
Torres is the kind of guy that is so easy to fall for. Sure of himself. Funny. Life of the party. And hot. Nell is the type of student I wish I had been in college: super focused, beautiful, on track to graduate early with a degree in a cutting edge field. This is definitely a pairing of opposites attracting and testing their limits and shedding their pasts to come together for the real thing.
After the really tough subjects addressed in All Broke Down, All Played Out was like a warm summer breeze. A little cheesy, I know. But seriously, you will laugh as the two set off together to conquer Nell's list and realize they're both capable of great love in the process. This story is equal parts steam, heart, and humor! Perfect for fans of Jay Crownover, Molly McAdams, and Colleen Hoover!
Rating: 4 Stars! A really great & enjoyable read!
