Falling for Zeke Sweets, Valley U’s MVP: Not going to happen'

The Tip-Off is the 3^rd book in the Smart Jocks series, written by Rebecca Jenshak.

If you enjoy college romance, competitive sports, and all the drama that comes with it—this book is for you!

I was so excited to finally dive into Gabby’s story after meeting her back at the very beginning of the series. Gabby is in no way a side character, and she never will be. She completely owns her place in this world, and I loved getting to see her shine.

Gabby is Blair’s best friend—first introduced in The Assist.
She came to Valley U dreaming of everything college life should be: excitement, new experiences, and unforgettable firsts.

But dreams don’t always go according to plan.

Then she meets Zeke.
Will he be the one to pull her back into reality and give her the courage to embrace all the thrilling firsts she’s been waiting for?  

‘Being with Gabby is like wearing my headphones except instead of music drowning out the noise, it’s her making everything else fade to the background’

Zeke🏀🏀🏀

How could you not fall in love with Zeke?
Tall, dark, and moody, he’s got his sights set firmly on the NBA. Driven, disciplined, and every inch the star athlete, basketball is his entire world.

Protective and passionate—those are just two words to describe him.

Enter Gabby, who just might be the one to pull him out of his basketball bubble and show him there’s more to life—and love—than the game.

Gabby🚗

No matter what life throws at Gabby, she doesn’t want your pity.
She’s fun-loving, determined, and ready to tackle her college bucket list head-on. From the very first page, Gabby is the girl you’ll be rooting for.🌞

She refuses to let her past define her future—and that’s exactly what makes her story so unforgettable.

Tip-Off is the ultimate slow-burn romance.
Gabby’s journey is one of finding confidence—in herself, in her appearance, and in her scars. And then there’s Zeke: moody, driven, laser-focused on his goals.

Together, they’re the perfect match—the sunshine and light of Gabby balancing the intensity of Zeke in all the best ways.

💭💭💭

This was by far my favourite book in the Smart Jocks series to date!
The relationship between Gabby and Zeke—how they build each other’s confidence and support one another’s passions—is the kind of love we all hope for.

I also found this story incredibly relatable and well written, especially in how it handled Gabby’s RTA, her struggles, and her strength in overcoming them. Those moments made me even more excited to dive into Smart Jocks #3.
