She\u2019s the virginal cheerleader, and he\u2019s the tortured bad boy. Their worlds are different, but college life at Dickson University brings them together in a passionate, angsty, fiery collision.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Finn Hayes is what girls my age would call \u201cstupid hot.\u201d He\u2019s handsome, has brown eyes that remind me of warm chocolate chip cookies, and a tall, muscular build that makes marble sculptures jealous.<\/p>\n Green flag, right?<\/p>\n Wrong.<\/span><\/p>\n He\u2019s also broody, closed off, and so complex that it feels like I need a decoder to crack him.<\/p>\n He\u2019s unlike anyone I\u2019ve ever met and fights like he came out of the womb swinging, taking down both my ex-boyfriend and an ex-UFC fighter with ease.<\/p>\n But the underground society at our college known as Double C has nothing on him in the secrets department, and it\u2019s that mysterious edge that keeps me coming back for more.<\/p>\n This is more than the story of how Finn and I fell in love.<\/p>\n This is proof that love has a learning curve. Sometimes you succeed, and sometimes\u2026it destroys you.<\/p>\n *Author Note: Learning Curve is a New Adult Romance standalone that is book one in the Dickson University Series. This highly-addictive series will follow the grown-up Billionaire Bad Boy kids and long-lost Winslow siblings as they navigate college life and relationships. Buckle up for all the college drama, romance, spice, angst, and humor. You do not need to have read the Billionaire Bad Boys Series or the Winslow Brothers Collection to read Learning Curve. It is a complete standalone.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 4 stars!<\/strong><\/p>\n A new college romance series from Max Monroe?! Yes, please! Learning Curve<\/i> is the first book in the Dickson University<\/i> series and I can\u2019t wait for more! It\u2019s an emotional read that will break your heart before piecing it back together, but the heartache is worth it because Finn and Scottie belong together.<\/p>\n Finn comes to Dickson University with one thing on his mind, to meet the brother who doesn\u2019t know he exists and to turn his world upside down. What he didn\u2019t expect was to find true friends and his true love along the way.<\/p>\n Finn and Scottie have their own struggles when it comes to messed up families and these two seem like they are from different worlds but somehow they click. Their chemistry is off the charts and there is an undeniable connection they can\u2019t ignore. There is a push and pull between them and though I wanted them to work their issues out earlier I totally get why they pushed each other away when they did. At different times these two had to deal with situations that made them feel like they were alone but that\u2019s was far far from the truth.<\/p>\n This is a rollercoaster ride with ups and downs and twists all around. I couldn\u2019t wait to see what happens and loved the way most things unfolded. There is definitely some drama but I was along for the ride!<\/p>\n I love this bunch of characters. From Ace and Blake to Julia and Kayla to the whole Kelly\/Brooks\/Winslow clan, Finn and Scottie were never alone even if they felt it at times. There are so many moments with this group and I love that when they say they have your back they mean it.<\/p>\n I loved seeing what all of Max Monroe\u2019s characters were up to. Reacquainting myself with them and their children was wonderful and they always bring on the laughs. They were a huge part of the story but didn\u2019t take away from Finn and Scottie.<\/p>\n *ARC generously provided by the author*<\/i><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Learning Curve (#1)<\/strong> – (Finn & Scottie) Playing Game (#2)\u00a0<\/strong>– (Blake & Lexi) The Fifteen-Minute Rule (#3) <\/strong>– (Ace & Julia) <\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n A duo of romance authors team up under the <\/span>New York Times<\/span><\/i> and <\/span>USA Today<\/span><\/i> Bestselling pseudonym Max Monroe to bring you sexy, laugh-out-loud reads.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Max Monroe is the <\/span>New York Times<\/span><\/i> and <\/span>USA Today<\/span><\/i> Bestselling author of more than ten contemporary romance titles.
