SHE'S GOT ME BY THE FOOTBALLS...
My name is Henry Walton, and though I've been called many things throughout my life--tree trunk, moose, walrus--I am now six foot five, solid muscle, and the hottest defensive end in the NFL college draft.
This is the moment I've been waiting for: fame, women, and glory.
Just one problem: I'm suddenly in a bad slump. And it started the moment I got dumped by Elle, the nerdy goddess with thick glasses, a smokin' hot body, and a genius IQ.
So what gives? We only dated for a few weeks, and it's not like I've missed her. (Much.) Regardless, all the facts point to one conclusion. Elle is my lucky nerd-charm.
Call me superstitious, but I have to get her back before I lose everything. Even if she's the last girl I should want and she now hates my guts.

My Review - 4.5 stars
How can you not love a well written book where the super hot jock lacks confidence and is desperate to get the girl, whilst said girl is a sassy super-nerd who refuses to give him a chance? And whilst on the surface this appears to be a lighthearted beach read, it actually has a lot more depth to the story but without overly battering my emotions.
There was a good mix of angst, love, romance, embarrassment and snarky comments all woven into a fast-paced story with a very different plot, that certainly didn't fit the 'contemporary romance cliche' mould. At first glance the hero and heroine appear to fit the cliche of hot guy, nerdy girl but it soon becomes clear that not only does Elle not mine being a nerd but she actually owns it. On the surface Henry is the 'have-it-all' football star, but he wasn't the arrogant guy you'd expect, thanks (or possibly no thanks) to his parents.
Stupid me hasn't read Smart Tass (OHellNo #1) and whilst Oh Henry alluded to events in this book, they were carefully written so as to avoid/minimise spoilers without leaving you wandering what on earth had happened. It just made me desperate to read Smart Tass!
I enjoyed this book from start to finish ..... apart from the sneaky little almost cliff-hanger ending, but even that isn't enough to lower my rating. Even though it isn't that short a book it was a 'one sitting read' just because I didn't want to put it down.

Smart Tass
Ohellno Series
by Mimi Jean Pamfiloff
Publication Date: April 11, 2017
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romantic Comedy
From New York Times Bestseller Mimi Jean Pamfiloff comes SMART TASS, a new Romantic Comedy.
He’s the hot quarterback all the girls want.
She’s the smart girl he loves to pick on.
And now that they’re all grown up, things are about to get geekin’ ugly…
My name is Tass. I’m smart, I’m driven, and I am determined not to let prankster Hunter Johnson continue raining on my parade. When we were little, he’d pull my hair and call me names. When we were teenagers, he’d throw food and tease me for being a flat-chested virgin.
But now that we’ve ended up at the same college, he’s out of his hot head if he thinks he can keep messing with my life. It’s like he’s fixated on me or something.
Well, guess what, Mr. Amazefootball? I’m not that geeky little girl anymore and you do not screw with a smart woman.
So what’s my plan?
It’s definitely wild, and he’s about to find out…
