This was a quick yet enjoyable read that reminded me of some of my favorite movies, Can't Buy Me Love and She's All That, in its transformation of a zero to a hero.  From start to finish this book left me with a smile on my face courtesy of its delightfully entertaining characters and their realistic banter.  Ryan may start out nerdy but he was always endearingly sweet with flashes of sexiness.  He desperately wanted to make his father and brother proud though so he undertakes a journey, with Emma as his teacher, to become a worthy member of his family's fraternity.  He always had a thing for Emma and being in close quarters with her gives him the chance to finally win her over.  He won me over from the moment he came on the scene and I was sometimes left frustrated by Emma's treatment of him.  She's had back luck with relationships, dating many superficial men, that her hearts now become hardened and she's hesitant to embrace what Ryan offers her.  She's a bit outspoken at times and driven to be in the popular crowd.  She sometimes a bit too abrasive as well but I couldn't help but like her honesty and forthright nature.  Late in the story she does make a poor decision in the heat of a moment of jealousy that really disappointed me, but I couldn't stay angry with her as it ultimately leads to some soul searching that leads her back to where she belongs.This is a sexy story with an engaging storyline that leaves you rooting for the adorkable Ryan.  The secondary characters add to the fun and the banter and emotions expressed are realistic for college students and had me remembering my own time at the University.  Ultimately I was sad to see this story end but found it a great start to the Campus Players series and look forward to the next installment.
