Synopsis (Goodreads):
Three novellas, including all new Ivy Years fun!
BLONDE DATE: A nervous sorority girl, a mean fraternity prank and an adorkable basketball player with a heart of gold. Blonde Date follows Katie and Andy’s first blind date…

STUDLY PERIOD: One hunky hockey player with a language barrier. Plus one awkward English tutor with a big crush. Equals hot, hilarious trouble! Study Period follows Pepe and his tutor Josie.

YESTERDAY: It’s been seven years since John Rikker left his childhood home in Michigan. Surely that’s long enough to scar over the wounds he received there. Or is it? Can Rikker survive a visit with his parents? And can Graham let him do it alone?
Thoughts on Extra Credit: Okay, guys. I had read both Blonde Date and Studly Period prior to picking up this collection and it was NO hardship to reread them. None. Frankly, Blonde Date is one of the freaking sweetest stories EVER. Both Katie and Andy are perfect together and I just looooove how into her he is. Good guys sometimes absolutely finish first and Andy is the gold standard for this.

As for Studly Period, I have mad, MAD love for Pepe and his adorable man-puppy ways. He flusters Josie just by being and their sweet, slow romance makes me stupid giddy. Plus, watching Josie come out of her shell around the big hockey player is all sorts of awesome. Gotta love the shy girl getting the guy!

Which brings us to Rikker and Graham. Graham's come a long way since he and Rikker got together. He's much, MUCH more comfortable in his own skin and that's pretty darn awesome. As for Rikker...well, he got the short end of the stick where his parents are concerned, but it might not be as terrible as he initially thought. He has his grandma who supports him completely and his dad is trying to reconnect in the best way he knows how. Things definitely aren't easy when it comes to his parents, but there is a tiny twinkle of hope buried in all the bad.

I'm 100% in love with these stories and now I pretty much want to go back and read all the books again.
