Description
I’ve heard the whispers on campus of what a player Teddy McCallister is. Most girls on campus are vying to be the one, but guys like him don’t settle down. When he overhears that my tuition has been pulled and I’m going to basically be a college reject he makes me an offer I can’t refuse. Be his fake girlfriend until graduation so he can get his inheritance. It seems simple enough. I need the money and he needs someone to make him look committed. If one thing is certain, it’s that I won’t be falling for him. But no one warned me about what happens when my fake boyfriend starts to fall for me. Read more

5 Slow-burn, let’s-watch-90210-and-eat-cookies, swoony stars
Format: Kindle
I love me a reformed manhooooar. The kind that meets the h and realizes “Oh man. She might be the one.” The kind that’s totally into the h before she is- and Teddy’s ALL. OF. THIS. and more 🥰🥺. Teddy plays shortstop on the university’s baseball team. He’s grown up in a very abusive household🥺. His father started putting his hands on him when he was young, and he continues to manipulate and push him around. As he was growing up and getting bigger, his dad eventually stopped physically abusing him as much because Teddy could finally fight back. When his dad comes to see him and tells him that he will lose his money/inheritance if he continues to sleep around, Teddy quickly tells him that he has a girlfriend and he’s not sleeping around anymore. His dad tells him to bring his girlfriend to Saturday dinner and Teddy can only agree. Now Teddy needs to find a girlfriend ASAP 😅😬👀. Vanessa’s struggling financially. She relies on a scholarship in order to continue attending the same university as Teddy. She’s not able to enter her dorm, she goes to the missions office and finds out her scholarship was discontinued. Of course, a letter was mailed out to her house, and Vanessa quickly figures out that her B of a sister 🤬 kept the letter from her so that she could be embarrassed going back. Her sister has taunted and done some unforgivable things to her, things that still haunt her today and prevent her from trusting guys easily😏. Enter Teddy. Teddy needs her to pretend to be his girlfriend and he’ll pay her tuition so that she can graduate this year since they’re both seniors. She accepts. Let the fake relationship begin lol 😈. Gahhhhh! Look. This is slow burn. Their first real kiss is at 32%, and the first full smexxy time at 78%, but. My gosh. I didn’t even mind it 😅. Their “pretend-we’re-having-smexx” scene was 🔥🔥🔥. They took dry h#mp!ng to ANOTHER level 🥵. But here’s the thing. The EMOTIONAL connection was NEXT level. Yeah, yeah, he asks her lots of questions because they have to be pretending to be together, I get that, but their questions allow them to get closer, to see each other deeper than skin level, to connect emotionally like they’ve never connected before, and that’s what I loved the most about it all. They reveal things to each other that other people don’t know, again solidifying their connection and also increasing the tension between them 😉. He becomes jp and I was here for it 👀😅. Once they finally FINALLY cross the line, it was beautiful, visceral, passionate, and raw as f 🥵. He’s been waiting and waiting and WAITING… and he’s gonna worship every-hickey-ridden inch and more… and he’s gonna make sure she loves it all 💦🔥. Gahhhh!!! Side note- I LOOOOOVED that Vanessa was a “normal” girl. This girl is CURVY with cellulite and stretch marks. And he CRAVES IT ALL 🥵💦😅. Gahhhhh!! He’s just so swooooony 🥺. When he lovingly kissed her Ohhhh! And he HAS to HAS TO open the door for her each time she gets in a car. And their banter is on. point 👌🏻. I giggled so many times 😂. Plus. Once Teddy finds out what her ex did to her, he takes care of it 😈💅 along with his friends, which means I need to read their books too LOL👀. To top it all off, they bond over their favorite cookies, snickerdoodle, because he stress-baked AND his new favorite show, 90210. GAHHHH 🥺❤️❤️❤️. I. LOOOOOVED. IT!! ⚠️safety squad⚠️

When You Play to Win, You Risk Losing It All
Format: Kindle
When you play to win, you risk losing it all. Teddy McCallister is one of the biggest campus players, and not just on the baseball field. He’s the life of the party, alway light-hearted and would do anything for his friends. But the bright surface hides secrets from everyone. And, backed into a corner, Teddy runs into Vanessa, who’s just had the rug pulled out from under her. Right time, right place, and he realizes how they can solve each other’s problems. He pays off her last semester’s tuition, and Vanessa agrees to be his fake girlfriend until graduation. But it doesn’t take long at all for Teddy to realize Vanessa’s exactly what he’s needed in his life. Vanessa Hughes has been struggling to make ends meet just to get through college. But when her scholarship is pulled, there’s no way she can make that up on her own. Which is why she caves and agrees to Teddy’s unorthodox proposal. But Vanessa has a secret or two of her own, and they make her wary of blurring the lines between their arrangement and their feelings. But when one of them is all-in and the other has one foot out the door, the breaking point is inevitable. I loved this book. When I want a fake relationship romance, this is EXACTLY what I want: for boy to meet girl, for boy and girl to come to an arrangement, for boy to catch feelings, and for their relationship to turn real while girl still feels they’re within the safe boundaries of what they’ve agreed to. The chemistry is potent, Teddy is sweet as pie, romantic, and goes above and beyond for Vanessa even before their relationship evolves. Vanessa is down-to-earth, wary of catching feelings, and the epitome of supportive. They’re each exactly what the other needs, and watching them come around to what’s clear to the reader from the start is so gratifying and wonderful to read. It’s so easy to get absorbed, and the end is satisfying while leaving you wanting more in the best way. Fans of Micalea will love seeing the previous couples in the series—including Mascen, who’s second generation of Willow Creek—lovers of NA, sports, or fake relationship romance will savor this, and this is perfect for fans of JLA’s Wait For You series, or Sara Ney’s How to Date a Douchebag/Jock Row world, or Elle Kennedy’s Off Campus/Briar U world. Looking forward to continuing the series!

Just perfect!
Format: Kindle
I've been avoiding college romances for a while but recently started picking them back up on occasion. I am SO GLAD I picked up this one. This is absolutely a book I would read again. Vanessa is just the best. I loved her and somehow felt like she represented most girls. From her likes, to her drive, to her concerns, slight insecurities, I don't know. I just loved her and how her friendship with Teddy seemed to also help her blossom a bit. I'm inclined to say Teddy is the perfect "book boyfriend". Loyal, protective (without being an alpha hole), sweet, funny, and just all around good guy. Plus, he bakes. I mean come on! I loved the force proximity trope and the hero falling first. Vanessa seemingly tries to protect herself, but she was very clearly doomed from the start. I had so much fun reading their story. I thought the dialogue was great and I loved the side characters as well. I'll have to go back and check out the previous friends stories and I'll definitely be keeping my eyes out for the rest of the boys. Overall, a great book! I think I have a new go to comfort book to add to my list.

Teddy!!! What else do I need to say?
Format: Kindle
I fell in love with Teddy in Nice Guys Don’t Win, ever the puppy, filled with humor and loyalty to his found family I dare you not to fall for him as well. But now in this book we get his story and it’s so much more, he’s so much more. When faced with a chance of losing his inheritance Teddy he finds the solution he wasn’t expecting. This is where Vanessa comes in, and watching these two together is magical. At this point if you follow my reviews you know I am a fan of Micalea. She writes stories that make you laugh, fall in love and maybe even blush a little. 😊. I am halfway done with this series and I’m not going to stop until I get to the end! Read this series, read them in order, don’t miss out on these, just don’t! 1. Bad Boys Break Hearts 2. Nice Guys Don’t Win 3. Real Players Never Lose 4. Good Guys Don’t Lie 5. Broken Boys Can’t Love 6. Rule Breakers Fall Hardest (June ‘24)

Decent plot
Format: Kindle
This story is about a college baseball player on and off the field who is born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Teddy has is a goofball, yet has a big secret that he doesn’t openly reveal. He ends up coming to the rescue of a girl who is in desperate need of money to complete her final semester in college. He needs a girlfriend to introduce to his parents and she - Vanessa - needs to complete school. They strike up a deal to help each other out. What I liked about the story is that Teddy liked and chose Vanessa for who she is. She’s an attractive girl who is overweight. How overweight is never said. I love when the hot popular guy chooses his love interest based on more than just clothing size. What I didn’t like is how unhealthy Vanessa eats throughout the book. Like I get it, she’s overweight and all but eating burgers, fries and consuming sugary foods & drinks aren’t good for anyone. And it’s not like she’s a lazy person. She’s driven, works as a waitress and focuses on school. But what about health? At more than one point Teddy eats salad or lighter meals bc he has practice or a game and she’s still eating fries and burgers or sandwiches. I’m overweight myself yet I still crave healthy options. The story is a tad unrealistic, being he falls first and she refuses him over and over. That didn’t make sense. And I wish that the author would tell the readers what happened to the “mean girl” who humiliated Vanessa and also what happened to his parents and her family. Some thins were just left out. So that’s why my rating is only 3 stars. It’s a decent read, predictable and slightly annoying.

Teddy and Van were just so right
Format: Kindle
I thought I loved Cole when I started this series until Teddy made his appearance. He just made me chuckle and I knew his book would be all that. It totally was all that I had hoped for. Clearly there was more to Teddy than the womanizing, life of the party and boisterous persona. His backstory made me love him even more because he still retained love, humor and affection despite his overlord father. I would have loved to have a little bit of interaction with Vanessa’s family, friends or just anyone other than the roommate she didn’t talk to much. It’s as though she had no friends, not even at the burger joint. I did admire how hard Vanessa tried to stick to her agreement with Teddy. The trip to Greece was at least 60% in so this couple had a great foundation before things changed. I hope in the future there are more options for women like Teddy’s mom so they can find safety and happiness. This part was deeply personal and it still an issue in society. Still, I hope Teddy, Macen, Cole and Jude maintain their friendship way past college. This series has been really good for my bookclub!

Absolutely obsessed with Teddy
Format: Kindle
“I didn’t realize it standing in the admin building the first time I saw her, but this girl is the girl. There’s no one else for me.” —————————————————— ⭐️: 5/5 🌶: 3.5/5 —————————————————— Let me start by saying how much I LOVED Teddy. He made his way to one of my top ten book boyfriends within the first 10% of the book. Vanessa is ready to start her last semester of senior year. What she wasn’t ready for was the admin office telling her that he scholarship has been pulled unexpectedly and her deadline to pay a whole semester of tuition is in two days. Teddy is just trying to make it to graduation, so he can finally have his inheritance and be out from under his father’s control. When he heads to the admin office after loosing his student ID again, he doesn’t expect to find the perfect candidate to be his fake girlfriend and help get his father off his back. Vanessa and Teddy enter a fake relationship with three very simple things made clear. One: Vanessa gets her tuition paid for. Two: Teddy shows his father he’s no longer a playboy, so he can get his inheritance when he graduates. Three: there are absolutely, positively no real feelings involved. It should be easy to make sure that third thing remains true…right? Vanessa and Teddy are everything. Their tv marathons were adorable. Their dances were adorable. Teddy’s unwillingness to give up on her? Vanessa’s unending support and protectiveness around his father? They. Were. Everything. If you’re looking for a fake dating romance involving an ex-playboy and a curvy introvert, go ahead and add Real Players Never Lose to your TBR!!

My Favorite so far!!
Format: Kindle
I am obsessed with this book. I did not want to put it down. Teddy is the best Golden retriever boyfriend I have ever read. First of all he is hilarious. I swear half of the quotes I highlighted out of Nice Guys Don’t Win were things Teddy said. He was the perfect mix of hot, smart, cocky, rich, thoughtful and loyal. He says the most off the wall, whatever comes to his mind stuff and it had me thoroughly entertained! The way he fell for Vanessa was honestly the cutest. The thing I love about Micalea is the way she gives her couples so much chemistry. And not just in the bedroom. I love how playful these two were and how they built eachother up. Just writing this review makes me want to read it all over again. This is my favorite so far and I’m telling you, DO NOT sleep on this series!
