Review ~ Learning Curve by Max Monroe

Learning Curve by Max Monroe
My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars

Learning Curve was a longer read than what I usually pick up, but it was so worth it. It begins with Scottie and Finn beginning University, and right from their first meeting they had a connection. They both had personal issues that they were trying to deal with, but had more in common than either of them realised.

Finn, I truly loved his character. He was dealing with his own demons to try to be the protector of his family. He pushed Scottie away multiple times through this process as he felt that he didn’t deserve her. Things turned out differently than how he thought, and I was amazed in what he gained.

Scottie was more reserved than what I expected, and although she tried so hard with Finn, she moved on when needed. Her world exploded multiple times, and she tried so hard to be strong on her own. Her friends and family were there for her, and Finn was always a constant presence for her.

I think that the authors have done a fabulous job with the start of this new series, and I’m looking forward to more. I felt that it was really well written, the characters and storyline were well fleshed out and I found it hard to put this read down.

Title: Learning Curve

Author: Max Monroe

Series: Dickson University #1

Genre: New Adult Romance

Published: August 16, 2024

She’s the virginal cheerleader, and he’s the tortured bad boy. Their worlds are different, but college life at Dickson University brings them together in a passionate, angsty, fiery collision.

Finn Hayes is what girls my age would call “stupid hot.” He’s handsome, has brown eyes that remind me of warm chocolate chip cookies, and a tall, muscular build that makes marble sculptures jealous.

Green flag, right?

Wrong.

He’s also broody, closed off, and so complex that it feels like I need a decoder to crack him.

He’s unlike anyone I’ve ever met and fights like he came out of the womb swinging, taking down both my ex-boyfriend and an ex-UFC fighter with ease.

But the underground society at our college known as Double C has nothing on him in the secrets department, and it’s that mysterious edge that keeps me coming back for more.

This is more than the story of how Finn and I fell in love.

This is proof that love has a learning curve. Sometimes you succeed, and sometimes…it destroys you.
