Jock Row by Sara Ney
Scarlett is always the sensible one: The sober driver. The planner. The one holding your hair back while you're worshiping the porcelain gods.
Week-after-week, she visits Jock Row with her friends—the universities hottest party scene and breeding ground for student athletes. And if keeping her friends out of trouble, and guys out of their pants, was a sport, she'd be the star athlete.
Being a well known jock-blocker gets her noticed for all the wrong reasons; just like that, she's banned from Jock Row. NO GUY WANTS A GIRL AROUND WHO KEEPS THEIR JOCK FRIENDS FROM GETTING LAID.
"Rowdy" Wade is the hot shot short-stop for the university's baseball team—and the unlucky bastard who drew the short straw: keep little Miss Goody Two-Shoes out of the Baseball House.
But week-after-week Scarlett returns, determined to get inside.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Sara Ney will always be known in my books as the queen of college romances. She has this way of taking a seemingly 'boring' subject of athletes and the girls who like them and makes them amazing. I mean, i was never a fan of college romances mostly because they fit right in the middle of contemporary romances and young adult stories, so i never really could situate myself - do i encourage them to jump in bed, or am i supposed to dig the no physical intimacy part?!?! I never knew where to stand on this. But the first book i read by this author completely changed my mind.
I really fell in love with her Douchebag series, and while i had the chance to read other books by her, they really did stick with me in the long run, i couldn't forget them or their stories. So when i heard that she was coming up with a new series, the Jock series, i was jumping in full steam ahead, because, well, college athletes. Need i say more? I was also curious to find out if she would be developing/introducing more cringe worthy characters who manage to redeem themselves eventually or if we'd see something completely different.
Surprisingly, this was different. In some ways, it was adorable, but not nauseatingly adorable, but the kind that makes you want to keep reading so that you can find out what'll happen to these characters in the long run. But it was also comical - more than once i found myself laughing alongside the antics of these characters and their friends.
I really did enjoy this book - it was a great introduction to a new series that i simply can't wait to hear more from them in the future. I'll be looking forward to reading more from this author in the future to get my college romance fix.
