See all formats and editions

Enjoy this FREE steamy college second chance romance by USA Today Bestselling dark billionaire romance author Summer Cooper!

Year after year, Avery put on her best fake smile during homecoming week, but this one sucked especially–the anniversary celebration of Alpha Alpha Phi frat house.

Professor Stroh, the usually by-the-book type, hadn't always been this boring. Once upon a time, she was the fiery journalist who exposed the scandal that brought down that notorious frat house, thanks to her infamous article. Since then, she'd sworn off dating jerks who disrespected women.

Yet today, as she comes face to face with her ex, her Alpha, she can't help but wonder how the once most-wanted guy from years ago has become even more irresistible. The blue eyes, long legs, tapered waist, and rock-hard abs of NFL quarterback Keaton Shaw are simply irresistible eye candy.

And guess what? Keaton just wouldn’t give her a break. Was he looking for a simple catch-up, or was it a payback for what she’d done? But, as they say, some things never change, and a scoundrel remains a scoundrel. Despite her heart's desires, her rational mind knows better.

Books in this series, can be read as standalones:
1. One Bet
2. One Vow
3. One Mistake

This book is sizzling hot and not suitable for prudish readers, perfect for readers who relish the sensuous and captivating works of Melanie Harlow, TL Swan, Lauren Blakely, Laurelin Paige and Claire Kingsley.

Great Story

Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2023

This intriguing story had me from page one. All it takes is an irresponsible miss spent situation to ruin young lives. When Avery finds herself in the middle of a sex scandal, relationships are severed, and she will never be the same. Will Keaton and Ryder get redemption and will a second chance become possible for Katon and Avery.

Avery and Keaton have quite the history. They met in college. They haven't seen one another in ten years. Their reunion proves the chemistry is still as intense as ever. There are lingering issues that work against them. I am glad they worked through them and were able to come to resolution. The story is well written and moves easily. The style with the flashbacks is interesting and really works well.

Possible Spoilers:
I am confused about what was really going on between Susie and Alex. What did Susie do for work anyway? I got a little lost about Keaton's mom and think maybe the details about Avery's family were contradictory from mention to mention. The ending before the epilogue could have been more detailed. Why would anyone forgive Ryder? Who was actually working on the screenplay? But neither of these questions took away from the joy of reading the book.

Avery and Keaton met in college and were friends. Avery really wanted to date Keaton’s friend whereas he really wanted to date her. Now ten years later they meet at a reunion. Things have changed especially the way Avery dresses. Keaton is a NFL football player who suffered a concussion and now has terrible headaches. These two once shared some great moments together and although Keaton would love to have some kind of relationship with Avery she has told him she has a boyfriend. It’s a good story with these two reliving their history and finding themselves drawn to each other. The back and forth between the present and the past was a little much for me. But I understood the need, so the reader could understand why things are the way they are. Our couple do achieve a HEA after all their issues.

"Moving beyond their past to create a future"

Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2022

Verified Purchase

Welcome to Glouster University where the Alpha Alpha Phi alumni come home to celebrate their 100th year and face the scandal that they created ten years ago. Professor Avery Stroh wasn't always in professional attire of jeans and sweaters. Ten years ago she traded in her all black outfits, fishnet stockings and combat boots to catch the eye of Ryder Kennedy and the Sigma. Keaton Shaw is home to get his life together after one too many concussions on the pro football field and face the scandal that lost him the love of his life.

Keaton knew Avery was special even though she was different and not from his social class but she was more honest than anyone he'd ever met. What starts out as a deal to turn Avery into the woman Ryder and the Sigma would want in exchange for help with his homework turned into the two best and worst two weeks of their young lives. When did Avery start to fall for Keaton and his sincere ways?? All that is about to change when Avery realizes their most intimate moment was video taped and played at a frat house party...and all for a bet. Not only was it humiliating but soul crushing. Now they are about to come face to face after the fallout and maybe get closure so they can move forward... possibly with each other. The past and the present come crashing together with the unknown possibilities of the future. Will Keaton fight for what he wants this time or loose Avery all over again? What does Avery want?? I love how Summer Cooper takes us back as the events happen with his/her POV. There is no cliffhanger, no cheating, even with the best friends situation, and characters that are real to life.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book and happily added it to my favorites collection. Looking forward to the next Glouster University scandal book.

Second chances

Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2023

Verified Purchase

This is a great second chance romance. The main characters of Avery and Keaton have a history, and it didn't end well. Ten years later, at their college reunion, Keaton has a second chance to get the one who got away - Avery.

Admittedly, while the flashbacks in the story did help explain what happened in the past, they were sometimes a bit confusing.

Overall, really enjoyed the story. I love dual POV, to get insight into both main characters. Characters were likable and relatable. World was well established. This was a really good second chance at love story.

I volunteered to read this ARC for an honest review. I enjoyed this story about Keaton and Avery. They went to college together. He's was the football star and she was the goth chick before goth was cool. Now 10 years later they are together for their class reunion. But there is some unfinished things between them. Ryder messes things up for him and now Keaton wants a second chance.

Story jumps over and back between past and present....alot!

Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2023

Verified Purchase

Not a fan of judgemental opinionated avery and too black and white with no grey areas allowed for. There are misunderstandings and confusion on the past that has caused present day dilemmas.

I can usually keep track of a story, but with the amount of flitting between past and present with this book, it sometimes got lost in translation and really isn't a great story telling method, unfortunately.

It was an OK read.

3.5 stars
I was liking this book, even the drama from 10 years before, right up until thd last two chapters. The story is told between now, the 10 year reunion week and then, senior year & a scandal.
There is still confusion around the scandal, who knew or did what etc and I don't feel this was explained fully but maybe it carries over into the next books, maybe then the epilogue will fit better.
The end was too rushed, we don't see Keaton & Avery as a couple after the reunion week.
