Learning Curve

Written by N. R. Walker

Narrated by Nick J. Russo

Cobey Green

There I was, moving into the dorms at Franklin U and not into the shared party house I’d lived in my freshman year. Last year had been all about football and parties, not schoolwork. Which was why my grades tanked. Why I was one failed class away from being kicked off the team.

Why I needed to live on campus and find myself a tutor.

Funny that my new roommate just happens to be a tutor. Funny that he’s oblivious to how hot he is. For a smart guy, he’s pretty clueless. Maybe I could tutor him in how to be more outgoing in exchange for help with calculus? I could teach him how to talk to people, how to make new friends. Hell, maybe I could even help him punch his V card.

Actually, now that I think about it… that’s a really good idea.

Vincent Brandt

And there I was, happy to be back at college, happy to be where I was most comfortable. Happy to be starting another school year, happy to start tutoring again so I could earn some money.

And yes, there I was equal parts excited and dreading to see who my new roommate would be… until Cobey Green’s smiling face appeared at the door. A huge football player loved by everyone, gorgeous, rich, and out of the closet.

Everything I’m not.

It doesn’t help that he’s genuinely a really nice guy. It doesn’t help that I make him laugh and we can talk so easily. And it certainly doesn’t help that we start having private tutoring sessions, which end up way more private than I’d ever dare imagine.

I’d ranked top of my class in every subject since the first grade, yet there I was falling stupidly in love with him.

This was going to be a hell of a year. And one very steep learning curve for both of us.

Such a cute no angst rom-com. I laughed and squealed for this couples

[Emma Aronsson · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I absolutely adore everything about this book. It’s the perfect jock/geek trope romcom that still somehow manages to feel like something new. The performance by Nick J. Russo was spectacular, he truly outdid himself. It played like a movie in my head, never once losing my attention.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This book!!! Omg!

Cobey and Vincent for-freaking-ever!!

The whole time I was reading this I kept saying if ANYONE came for my sweet baby Vincent I will RIOT! I was so glad when I realized there wasn’t any third act breakup because it really wouldn’t have for their story.

All I can say is I’m forever obsessed and this is is going on my top read of the year for sure. ❤️‍?❤️‍?

Between the beautuful writing style of N.R. Walker and the 5⭐️ narration by Nick J. Russo this sweet low angst listen was just lovely.

Book ★★★★
Audio ★★★★★

This story revolves around the unlikely pairing of a popular football star and a socially anxious genius. Despite their stark differences, they support each other in both academic studies and dating skills, unexpectedly fostering a heartwarming romantic relationship.

The book primarily focuses on the endearing characters and their humorous interactions rather than intense conflicts or dramatic plotlines. As usual, Walker's works always make you warm and laugh out loud. 

萬人迷球星學渣Cobey與社恐學霸Vincent成了室友。兩人發現各自的難處後，發揮互補不足共同進步的精神，學霸指導微積分，萬人迷指導交男友，學有所成之際順便把對象給談了。

雖然劇情稍顯平淡，但有車有梗，雙向暗戀，輕鬆可愛，是一則充滿NRWalker老師風格的睡前小故事。

Nick J. Russo的有聲書真的好好聽。

It was a very cute story and there was no angst between the MCs which I loved. It was an opposites attract type of story. They started off as college roommates helping each other in areas they respectively struggled with and along they way they fell in love. Coby needed help academically and Vincent needed help in gaining social skills.
Vincent had self esteem issues and I think most of it stemmed from growing up alone with no family support or affection. Through Coby and his family and friends like Jada he gradually gained a sense of belonging.
They also both went on to have very successful careers which they desevedd because they both worked very hard to achieve their goals
Lovely story ??

I've heard this story so many times already it's not even funny. Just a soft, lovely and heart warming couple. I adore it.

[Milton Justice · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This is such a heart warming story. The complete fantasy of the star football player and the nerd finding their way to each other.

[Angela White · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Smooth, easy read to remind us to just enjoy and appreciate a good thing. No need for drama, just 2 people smart enough to open their hearts and not get in their own way. Colby & V are random dorm mates, both has something the other needs, which starts an easy friendship and quiet but steady romance. And best kind of HEA.

[Maryellen · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Sweet, comforting, charming, likable characters, great narration … pretty much a typical Franklin U book (I mean that in a good way!).
