Learning Curve (Franklin U Book 6) Kindle Edition
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.

About the author
N.R. Walker is an Australian author, who loves her genre of gay romance. She loves writing and spends far too much time doing it, but wouldn't have it any other way. She is many things; a mother, a wife, a sister, a writer. She has pretty, pretty boys who live in her head, who don't let her sleep at night unless she gives them life with words.
She likes it when they do dirty, dirty things... but likes it even more when they fall in love.
She used to think having people in her head talking to her was weird, until one day she happened across other writers who told her it was normal. She's been writing ever since.
~
N.R. Walker was voted 2019 Goodreads M/M Romance Members' Choice Awards All-Time Favorite Author
and 2020 Goodreads M/M Romance Members' Choice Awards Hall of Fame

Football star Cobey has to move to the dorms his sophomore year, his parents have insisted. He almost lost his scholarship as well as his ability to stay on the football team he's a star player on, when his grades dropped so low he barely passed last year. He had lived in the Athletic Frat house, partying his year away. Almost cost him everything. He finds out at the last second that he's going to have a roommate too, there were no more singles left. Vincent the shy genius is his roommate. Cobey tries to be kind when he meets him, but Vincent kinda freaks when he realizes he's now roommates with one of the most popular guys in the whole place, as well as a star football player. They get along ok initially, but soon Cobey realizes he's totally infatuated with Vincent. Vincent is very shy but for some reason not around Cobey. And Cobey finds Vincent is one of the funniest people he knows, as well as so smart, and so kind. The way their story unfolds is so sweet and realistic, and I couldn't put it down. Till I had to - then picked it back the next day and read till I finished it. I love this story and know it will be in my reread pile. I'll enjoy again and again. 5 big stars.

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。
They form a tutoring partnership in which Vincent helps Cobey with calculus and Cobey helps Vincent with his social and sexual IQ. The use of weight lifting as the euphemism for their private lessons is pretty cute. Cobey is an absolute sweetheart in all his hunky bisexual glory and Vincent is not officially out when they meet, but he’s not opposed to it either. There was no reason to really think about it in the past, but Cobey certainly gives Vincent a reason now.
The only angst is when Vincent recounts his childhood to Cobey, which is sad indeed. There are some really sweet moments between these two and the ending is a fantasy of an HEA in the sports world. There is no homophobia from the teammates or the student body at FU - just a social media storm in the background of “are they.” Vincent is uncomfortable in the limelight but he weathers various social milestones on Cobey’s behalf. There is no gratuitous, annoying drama or misunderstandings. Vincent develops a friendship or two and these two have campus wide acceptance as a couple. Cobey’s parents couldn’t be more lovely.
This was a great confection of a sports fantasy and I really enjoyed it. It will be amazing when reality catches up to fantasy one day.
