About this listen
When I agreed to be his roommate, I had no way of knowing that Cole Anderson was one of my father’s star players.
Having transferred to Aldridge University for my junior year, I wasn’t familiar with anyone on campus. If there’s one rule I’ve always been supposed to follow, it’s don’t date a basketball player. Cole is different, though, and I don’t want to stay away. But when he finds out I’m the coach’s daughter, I might not have any say in the matter.

Story
Mascen Wade, star pitcher of the Aldridge University baseball team, is a lot of things. Rich. Hotter than sin. The campus’ reigning bad boy. We knew each other once upon a time, but even if I’m named after a princess, it doesn’t mean my life is a fairy tale. My plan is to keep my head down, get my degree, and leave this town. But the moment Mascen Wade recognizes me, all my carefully laid plans come crumbling down. He’s decided he wants to make my life a living hell, but I’m not so easy to push around.

Story
It’s what we’ve always wanted—what we have always dreamed of—and nothing will stand in the way of achieving success. Except maybe me. As soon as we sign with our new record label, our producer gives us one rule: stay away from his daughter. I thought it would be easy to resist her, but Mia Hayes is under my skin. She is everything I never knew I wanted or needed. But falling for Mia might cost us everything we’ve worked so hard for. Do I sacrifice my band member’s dreams and chase her, or will Mia be the one thing that is more important than any stage I have ever dreamed of?

Zanders: Chicago hockey isn't complete without me—everyone's favorite player to hate. I know my role, and I play it well. In fact, I thoroughly enjoy spending the majority of my game time in the penalty box before leaving the arena with a new girl on my arm each night. What I don't like is the new flight attendant on our team's private plane. She works for me, not the other way around. But I'll be sure to remind her of that, and I can guarantee, by the end of the season, she'll be begging to quit her job.

My future is a big "what if" at the moment and I'm fine with that. For the most part. When Thayer Holmes moves in next door, the grumpy landscaper both fascinates and amuses me. When he asks me to nanny his kid, it's a great way to make some extra money. It's impossible not to fall in love with Thayer and his adorable son. There's a big problem though. I'm eighteen. He's thirty-one. Falling for someone almost fifteen years older than me wasn't part of my plans, but sometimes things happen when you least expect them.

Bennett James has built his career at being the best, on and off the ice, and now it's come back to bite him. The media has turned against him, and with a near career-ending injury, he needs to clean up his act and prove that he's serious about the game. For Bennett, working with his old coach at his alma mater feels like a step back, but it might be just what he needs. Grace Wentworth has always been the good girl, and she's tired of that stigma. She wants to prove that she can get down and dirty with the best of them. The problem? She doesn't know how.

Story
Pine River was supposed to be a new start for me. And it was, especially attending school with my three overprotective cousins, who were the triplets at the top of the social hierarchy. Except they weren’t alone there, and the first day when I came to school, I saw him. Scout Raiden. Tall. Lean. Tattooed. Mesmerizing. He was a golden god with dark and piercing eyes—looking like he wanted to eat me up. The feeling was mutual, and that was a problem.

Hockey with benefits. That was what Mara proposed, and I was down. She said no feelings, and she meant it. Just benefits. No strings attached. Nothing else. Not even friendship. College was her escape, including us. I didn't have time for a girlfriend. I had classes, the team, my family, and the game. It was all working too.... Until somewhere down the line, things got messy. Until somehow we were dealing with threats, secrets, rivals, and so much more. Until I began to want her in ways that weren't part of the deal. Our agreement didn't just get checked into the wall, it got obliterated.

Carter Beckett is the NHL’s resident bad boy, top player both on the ice and in the bedroom, and quite possibly the sexiest man to ever grace my field of vision. But worst of all? He knows it. He’s arrogant, self-centered, and the man doesn’t seem to know what a filter is, let alone how to use one. He’s had everything served to him on a silver platter, including endless strings of women, and apparently, I’m up next. I have the solution to all my sexual frustrations in a drawer at home, and it’s far less complicated than Carter Beckett.

Hughes Farm was the largest racing-horse establishment in the South. The family that owned it was known to be wealthy, powerful, arrogant, and terrifying. My first encounter with them didn’t prepare me for all that was to come. I don’t think anything truly could have. Growing up with only my father and brother hadn’t been easy, but we’d had each other. Losing them was the hardest thing I’d ever faced. It had made the times we went without food, electricity, or even shelter seem insignificant in comparison.

Story
My future is a big "what if" at the moment and I'm fine with that. For the most part. When Thayer Holmes moves in next door, the grumpy landscaper both fascinates and amuses me. When he asks me to nanny his kid, it's a great way to make some extra money. It's impossible not to fall in love with Thayer and his adorable son. There's a big problem though. I'm eighteen. He's thirty-one. Falling for someone almost fifteen years older than me wasn't part of my plans, but sometimes things happen when you least expect them.

I’ve got a list of people I absolutely don’t ever want to be stuck with on a boat, or a plane, or a train, and it starts and ends with the broody, grumpy, too-sexy-for-my-own good Axel Huxley. Also known as this romance novelist’s number one nemesis. The man is legendary for his mighty pen and his even mightier scowl. I tried to work together with the cocky thriller writer once upon a time, but the two of us are like vodka and good decisions. We don’t play well together.

Story
Once I saw Marnie Long, a sassy, sultry, charismatic older woman in a bar, I couldn’t peel my eyes off her. I wanted her. At least, for one night. I’m way too busy with my career these days for anything more. As it turned out, after recently getting burned, Marnie was on the same page as me—all she wanted was one night of fun. I was happy to be of service. What I didn’t expect during our night together, however, was how deeply we connected. Also, how much I was dying to see her again the next morning.

Everyone says opposites attract. And they must be right, because there’s no logical reason why I’m so drawn to Colin Fitzgerald. I don’t usually go for tattoo-covered, video-gaming, hockey-playing nerd-jocks who think I’m flighty and superficial. His narrow view of me is the first strike against him. It doesn’t help that he’s buddy-buddy with my brother. And that his best friend has a crush on me. And that I just moved in with them. Oh, did I not mention we’re roommates?

Story
Running away from home at 17 wasn't easy. Let's face it, though, nothing before or in the ten years since has ever been easy for me. And I'm doing okay—sorta. I just need to keep scraping by, living under the radar. Staying out of people's way, off people's minds. When a man walks through my open patio door, stepping boldly into my home and my life, I should be scared, frightened, terrified. I must be more broken than I realized because I'm none of those things. I'm intrigued—and I'm wondering if the way to take control of my life is by giving in to him.

Zoey deserved better
Micalea’s books are great, I love her stories and slow burn, and although I prefer my couples’ dynamics a little more adrenaline filled, Cole and Zoey much tamer and more romantic relationship is very refreshing. James Cavenaugh makes a very adequate Cole but Zara Eden has managed to bring Zoey down. I had no idea someone could speak so many words in the same sentence with so much emphasis, and I mean Every! Single! Last! Word!They! All! Sound! Like! This!! Zara made each and every word sound almost angry, very dramatic and theatrical through the entire book. There’s much to unpack even about the too perfect pronunciation, overall she lacked fluidity in her delivery.

Nice Guys DO Win!
I fell in love with Cole Anderson in book 1 and I couldn’t wait to get his story! Micalea Smeltzer did not disappoint!
From beginning to end, I hung on every word that Smeltzer created telling Zoey and Cole’s story. I was captivated and I loved every minute!
However, I wish that Zara Eden didn’t sound so monotone as she brought Zoey to life. That was my only downfall with this listen. James Cavenaugh was perfect for Cole Anderson and I loved all of his parts!
Despite that downfall this was an overall 4.5 star read and I can’t wait for Teddy’s book!

Really good story
I enjoyed this story. The difficulties each character faces are real without being overdone.
Both narrators were new to me. The male narrator was good. I struggled listening to the female narrator because of odd pacing and mispronounced words. Otherwise enjoyable and worth a listen.

Good story, not so great female narrator
This is one of my favorite books in the series but sadly the female narrator ruins it. As others have mentioned it’s a very monotone delivery, over pronouncing some words and others oddly misspoken. Male narrator was good though.

Cute, low angst, friends to lovers!
Nice Guys Don’t Win is the second boy in The Boys series by Micalea Smeltzer. This is a contemporary, new adult (college), sports romance series! And in this one we get forced proximity (roommates), and a bit forbidden (she’s his basketball coach’s daughter).
We saw Cole in the first book in the series and I definitely wanted to see him get his HEA. When his friend Teddy ends up backing out as his roommate for the year, Cole tells Teddy he needs to help him in finding a new roommate to help with the rent. Zoey is a last minute transfer and is finding out she didn’t get a spot in the dorms when she meets Teddy. He overhears and tells her about his friend Cole needing a roommate too. Cole and Zoey easily fall into a friendship and eventually it leads to more!
“I used to think nice guys didn’t win, but I was wrong. When I fell in love with Zoey, I won the greatest game of all.”
This was super cute, low angst, and just fun! Cole and Zoey easily fall into being friends and roommates. When she finds out he plays for her dad’s team, she doesn’t tell Cole at first. Even when he dad does find out, it’s not really a problem either. Teddy was super cute too and I loved his friendship with both of them, can’t wait for his book next. While Cole is a college basketball player, it’s light on the sports action. Zoey has had a complicated past with her dad and she is able to reconnect with him, her stepmom, and half siblings. Cole is definitely a nice guy hero and is just the sweetest of taking care of Zoey (period caretaking and finding her fav snacks). This also made me want a root beer float after Cole’s massive love for them in this book. 😅

Nice Guys Don’t Win by Micalea Smeltzer - 3⭐️
Tropes/Themes:
-MF new adult romance
-Sports romance (basketball)
-Forbidden (coach’s daughter)
-Forced proximity (roommates)
-Friends to lovers
-Hidden identity
-Dual POV
-Book #2 in an interconnected standalone series
I’m not going to lie, I’m starting to think I just don’t vibe with this author and her writing. I get a little annoyed by the sheer amount of pop culture references she tends to include (I’ve noticed this in previous books as well. In this is book alone we got things like Mean Girls quotes, Taylor Switch, quotes from The Hangover, and Harry Potter (in this economy?).
I though Cole and Zoe’s meet cute was super fun and I enjoyed their slow transition from friends/roommates to lovers. The main thing that took me out of the romance was the hidden identity/poor communication aspect of it. I couldn’t understand why Zoe didn’t reveal her identity to Cole sooner. It felt a little immature and unnecessary.
At this point, I only plan on continuing on in the series since Teddy’s book is next and this book made me fall in love with him.
Story: 3/5
Audiobook: 5/5 (narrated by Zara Eden & James Cavenaugh)
