The Cheerleader and His Twin’s Best Friend

Lexi

I’ve been in love with Ryder Jackson since my twin sister brought him home and declared him her best friend five years ago. He is funny, smart, gorgeous. The perfect man. Except he’s never shown any romantic interest in me. Ryder only does hookups, but my poor demi heart wants the whole package.
I vow to get over him and focus on my upcoming cheer competition, but suddenly, he’s everywhere, making me fall harder.
When he accidentally walks in on my self-love time, everything changes. One night with Ryder isn’t enough.
I know it’ll hurt when it ends, but if friends with benefits is all Ryder can give, I’ll take it.

Ryder

No boyfriends, no repeats. That’s always been my motto. But when I nearly get my ass handed to me by the disgruntled ex of a former hookup, I realize I need to change things up.
No sex until I learn to avoid the walking red flags.
I can do this.
Except, suddenly, all I can see is Lexi, my best friend’s brother. I’m creating situations to get cuddles from him during nineties movie night and even going to a football game just to watch him cheer.
After one hot night, I want more.
But how do I get Lexi to see me as more than just a hookup?

Clueless is book one in Squad Goals, an MM cheerleader romance. Expect demi rep, witty banter, delicious pining, and cheertastic fun!

Some unexpected jealous has Ryder looking at Lexi in an all new light and what ensues is adorable, steamy fun. Complete with all the 90s movies references and found family/ squad vibes you could want. This is a quick (160pages) and hilarious read that also brings the steam! See tropes and 🔥 tags below.

    This is such a cute story. Ryder is so adorably clueless about how Lexi feels but it is fun to follow them when they finally get together. That's when they both are in the clueless camp for a bit. I really enjoyed reading this and I'm looking forward to Gio & Tucker's story next.

    I received an ARC and this is my unbiased opinion

    Honestly, this was one of the most fun, sexiest--oh my gosh, is it sexy like fire!--stories I've read in a long time. I. Love. This. Something tells me I'll be reading it again, just because I'm so fond of Ryder and Lexi. The transformation of Ryder (and, of course, the subsequent transformation of Lexi) was just really well done. Little moments in conversation, little insights into his thoughts, so there was a definite believable journey from what he started as to what he became, when he threw off his mantle of cluelessness.

    But Buffy?!

    Laugh Out Loud hilarity, there.

    You will definitely enjoy this one. I promise!

    It’s rare that you see books about cheerleading squads. Or at least it’s rare for me. I wasn’t sure what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised by the depth of the storyline and the colorful nature of the characters.

    This is a super cute cast of characters, coming together with witty banter and snark. There are so many ways the series can continue and I can't wait to read them all!

    The story of Lexi and Ryder was so sweet. These 2 men were a bit clueless about how to get what they really wanted, but the many years of friendship and wanting keeps them close until the moment becomes right for them to have their HEA. So worth the wait!!

    Lexi is the favorite of the duo in this one for me. With his pining it was natural for him to brush off many flirty attempts by Ryder in the beginning and I can't say I was a fan of the way it came off as Ryder playing with him before they actually said all the words. But I think it was Lexi's way of being present, being able to see Ryder, and his whole way of being there for his friends, family, their struggles, joys, and confrontations. His whole being drew me in. Even when he was being a little dumb about Ryder.

    I wish Ryder were truly his match. When he was on and good, he was good, but there were a bunch of moments that he both nearly and really did stuff it up that I couldn't love him. I liked him, sure, because he did have times where his utter joy in everything that is Lexi brought him closer to the best version of himself. What I didn't like was how he was so absolutely clueless about everything that he hurt Lexi, seemingly toyed with him, and then continued to almost punish him because he couldn't really open his eyes and get his head out of where the sun doesn't shine.

    The resolution was a bit rushed, but with a shorter, low-angst story I don't think I can fault that too much, it just needed to hold more weight than it did. It definitely felt like a young college kid book with some of its sophmoric humor, but again, with the setting being in college, it's not a true fault, it just made the book seem a little sillier than it could be. None of those things are truly negative things, just observations. Lexi was the star and his group of amazing friends are absolutely the draw to the series that I will most assuredly return to.

    This is a modern queer romance, the first book in a series that should be read in order. This was my first book by this author and it was a great afternoon read. Reading a little bit about the cheer world was interesting and the MC’s are cute together

    Contains: My best friend's twin brother/twin sister's best friend, college, two gay men, one demisexual, cheerleader, mechanic, gender cross-dressing in the bedroom.

    When the noncommittal heartthrob decides not to hook up anymore, he sees only one person. Intrigued by his new feelings towards his best friend's twin, they will soon fall into a complex situation.

    Having the biggest crush on his twin sister's best friend is complicated. Even more so when you're demisexual and he's already taking up all the space in your heart. It is with a broken heart that he sees this one hooking up with different people but never him. Cest dur, it's painful. Until everything changes. The look changes, their feeling changes and let me tell you all the hotness level in the bedroom are skyrocketing high. But he is just another hookup on the already long list. Right?

    Lexi has loved his sisters bff Ryder for 4 years and everybody but Ryder knows he’s absolutely clueless . When Ryder starts to see Lexi in a different light and starts getting jealous when Lexi gets close to his friends Ryder makes his move .

    Whilst I have read quite a few college/uni books, I have never read any featuring cheerleaders. To be honest I know next to nothing about cheerleading. I took to both characters straight a way and too be honest, I even liked Kati, Lexi's twin sister. Lexi was sweet and pining for Ryder. Ryder whilst trying to portray a bad boy really wasn't and whilst he relied on hookups, he was so oblivious to who was looking him in the face. Although I did get a bit confused when Lexi went from best friends brother to love interest and I still do not know what caused Ryder to change
    Regardless it was a fun quick read and I was totally hooked with the cheerleader and Garrett. I want Garrett to have his own story

    A fun book of cheerleaders, college romances, friendships, and seeing someone at the right time.

    Lexi has been in love with Ryder for years but would never say anything as Ryder is not at all interested in relationships. However, one of Ryder's hookups goes sour and leads to some drama which has him deciding to swear off hookups and men forever. This newfound celibacy leads to more time spent with friends, Lexi especially, and finding joy in a relationship beyond just sex. There is some miscommunication and quite a bit of meddling friends, but the story is pretty fun and sweet with a bit of college age drama thrown in for good measure. A fun and easy read!

    Cute and romantic, but the characters were more than a little frustrating at times. They were very immature and there were too many communication mishaps. Just talk! But a lot of that could be their age. Still, good book, I will read more by this author.
