Best friend to Lovers, Basketball, Sports Romance, College, POV

'I’ve been in love with her for two years.

The first time around, I screwed things up. I hesitated and the moment was gone.

I passed when I shouldn’t have.

Not a total loss. I gained a best friend instead of whatever we might have been.

Sydney is hands down the best thing that’s ever happened to me, and I’ll do anything to keep her in my life. Even bury my feelings deep inside.

But one hot summer together at the lake filled with lots of teeny-tiny bikinis and I’m ready to risk it all for a second chance.

It’s time to take my shot.'

The fake is the 5^th book in the Smart Jocks series, written by Rebecca Jenshak.

If you enjoy college romance, competitive sports and all the drama that goes along with it. Then this book is for you! Returning to Valley U for one final ride in this series has been something I’ve been eagerly anticipating ever since Smart Jock #1. And trust me, it did not disappoint.

We first met Tanner and Sydney in Smart Jocks #4, where it was clear Sydney wanted more than just friendship. After a steamy kiss and some time spent together, it really seemed like we knew exactly where things were heading... or so we thought.

After years of being just friends—and passing up the chance to be more—Tanner and Sydney finally realize that the insane chemistry between them is way more than just BFF status. 🔥

‘I choose Sydney. I’ve chosen her a million times, and I’ll do it a million times more.’

Tanner🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀

We first meet Tanner early in the Smart Jocks series—a talented athlete torn between two sports. Unliked by his teammates for splitting his loyalty between basketball and baseball, Tanner finds himself facing a tough decision: Which path will he choose—basketball or baseball?

Sydney👄

Kind, thoughtful, and caring—that’s our girl, Sydney. Which is exactly how she ended up in the friend zone.

But when she finally decides to be honest with herself, she finds the courage to be honest with Tanner too.

Let’s just hope Tanner’s sister doesn’t undo years of friendship... and cost Sydney the chance at something more—maybe even everything.

After finally admitting how they truly feel, Tanner and Sydney are the perfect blend of silly, goofy best friends mixed with burning, undeniable passion.

But will the pressure of impressing Tanner’s sister shatter the fragile chemistry that’s been building between them?

Sometimes, all it takes is one weekend away. A trip to the lake house—and time away from everyone else’s opinions—might be just what they need to reignite that long-buried flame.

💭💭💭

I really enjoyed reading the final book in the Smart Jocks series. That moment of realizing love has been right under your nose all along—and it’s your BFF—is something we all secretly hope for. The idea of a summer romance that turns into a forever kind of love? Absolute perfection.

I wasn’t a huge fan of the role Tanner’s sister played in the storyline, but that didn’t take away from my overall love for Rebecca Jenshak’s books and her incredible storytelling.

I can’t wait to see what she has in store next!
