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.

Author Note: Learning Curve is a New Adult Romance standalone that is book one in the Dickson University Series. This highly-addictive series will follow the grown-up Billionaire Bad Boy kids and long-lost Winslow siblings as they navigate college life and relationships. Buckle up for all the college drama, romance, spice, angst, and humor. You do not need to have read the Billionaire Bad Boys Series or the Winslow Brothers Collection to read Learning Curve. It is a complete standalone.

    If anything, each and every book just gets better and better that these two authors release. Learning Curve has everything and everyone that I love from the Billionaire Bad Boys series and the Winslow Brothers series. It’s got the humour that will have you snorting really unattractively, a swoony guy that will become a book boyfriend, a heroine that’s relatable and admirable, and a storyline that grips you. This book tugged on so many of my heartstrings, broke my heart and fixed it a fair few times. It was a rollercoaster of emotions. It is an amazing book that I highly recommend. I loved Scottie, her resilience despite everything that’s been thrown at her, you couldn’t help but feel for and love her. Finn really is book boyfriend material, and he’s just gets better and better throughout. I loved getting to see the kids of the first gen and I’m really hoping they get their stories. I’ve loved seeing the 1st gen couples and seeing that they’re just as brilliant regardless of age and parenthood. Loved seeing Thatch… I’d still Thatch that and Cassie is still my favourite heroine. Loved being back in that world, and it’s made me want to do a reread of them all. Although you don’t have to have read the other series to enjoy it, I’d definitely recommend it because they are brilliant.I loved all the new sides characters and I’m already counting down for the next book in this new series. I hope we get to see more of Scottie and Finn enjoying their lives together.Really loved this book

  2. Heart-Felt Fiction Fan

    I read at night, to relax and sleep. Usually, a couple of pages is enough to send me to sleep. Even when I wake up during the night, I can always read myself back to sleep fairly quickly. Even with my favourite authors. Five hours after starting this book, I was still wide awake. The last time that happened was… go figure; when I read ‘What I Should Have Said’. Be warned – this book is addictive.

  3. Costanza Angeloni

    First and foremost, a huge thank you to Max Monroe and Hambright PR for the ARC—this book was truly a journey.University/college romances with a healthy dose of drama are the very reason I got back into reading about three years ago. However, after a while, I found that many books in this genre started to feel repetitive. Not due to a lack of effort from the authors, but because the genre seemed to take a single direction that everyone followed, readers included. As a result, I quickly grew bored of reading the same dynamics and storylines over and over again.But Learning Curve finally brought this genre back to its former glory for me. The plot is full of twists—some more believable than others—but all undeniably entertaining. I was hooked from the very first chapters, and so much happened that it truly felt like a journey.I especially loved how the authors shifted the focus between Finn and Scottie, making both protagonists equally compelling with their own layers and subplots. They didn’t neglect the secondary characters either—Ace, Julia, Blake, the siblings, the families—each one played a vital role in making the story complete. They added humor, warmth, and the perfect finishing touch.Now, if you’re wondering why I gave it “just” 4 stars despite all the praise, it’s because of the final plot twist involving the FMC. While I loved the drama, I felt this particular twist was a bit too much. I understand what the authors were trying to convey with that storyline, but I believe the themes of unconditional love and ethical dilemmas had already been successfully addressed. That last twist felt a bit overdone to me.That said, I absolutely can’t wait to dive into Blake and Lexi’s story next! Ace and Julia’s will no doubt be my favorite (I already know it), and maybe we’ll even get to see Kayla and Reece’s story too? Fingers crossed! 🤞

  4. Kriti Dalmia {thisreadergirl}

    Learning Curve by Max Monroe is the perfect blend of humor, heart, and heat that will keep you flipping pages late into the night.Finn Hayes is hot, handsome, grumpy and carrying a lot of baggage and no doubt we will be attracted to such broody character like Scottie. She is sweet, adorable and wants to crack him.From the first chapter, Max Monroe hooks you with witty banter and a storyline that feels fresh yet comforting. The characters are vibrant, relatable, and oh-so-charming, all inclusive of our side characters. They are amazing and lovable.Our leading duo, with their undeniable chemistry, brings a fun dynamic that perfectly balances the more tender, emotional moments of the story. It’s the kind of book that makes you laugh out loud, swoon a little, and maybe even tear up when you least expect it.The themes of self-discovery, love, and the ups and downs of life are woven seamlessly into the narrative, making it not just a romance but a story about growth and embracing change. If you’re a fan of rom-coms that leave you with a smile and a full heart, Learning Curve is a must-read!✨Perfect for fans of: witty banter, heartfelt romance, dual pov, grumpy x sunshine, he fights for her, angst and a good laugh.

  5. Sara de Alb

    Usually I really like Max and Monroe books, but this one was just to much. Everything was exaggerated.In my humble opinion, the romance was lacking, no depthness, just a push-pull relationship. And for most of the book I was annoyed with the way that Finn was dealing with everything.Last but not least, can some explain to me what was the intent behind the last 10% of the book? If they just had done that in the middle of the book…but in the end?Overall, was not the greatest book from them.

    I love this writing duo
    I absolutely love this writing duo, they’ve brought me hours upon hours of joy. I love their characters, their stories, the spice in all their books, this one just wasn’t for me.Finn and Scottie’s story has way too much going on and I really struggled to stick with this book. It just didn’t hold my attention like their books normally do. I think it this book could’ve been wrapped up in 400 pages instead of 600, I might’ve been able to stick with it. Or maybe it’s because I have kids that are the same age as Finn and Scottie and I couldn’t relate to the story. I don’t know, it just isn’t for me. But it won’t deter from picking up their next book (I’m really hoping it’s Blake and Lexi)!I will say that Ace Kelly, yep…Thatch and Cassie’s son, stole the show for me throughout this book. I just love this freaking kid!

    A Max Monroe Unlike Anything I’ve Read!!!
    “When I say I love you, I mean it. When I say you have me, I mean it. Nothing will change for me. We’re kindred. Meant to be. And I refuse to move forward without you. You have me. Period. End of story.”I have read many of Max Monroe’s books but this book here is unlike any book of theirs I’ve read. To say they truly outdid themselves in unimaginable ways doesn’t even begin to describe Learning Curve.I’m use to the belly aching laughs, the ridiculous over the top hilarity, the warm feels that comes with friendships and family bonding and camaraderie that is Max Monroe’s trademark charm…don’t get me wrong, this book had that but so much more.All the emotions that hit had me in a complete tailspin. I in no way was expecting to get in my feelings the way I did. I found myself angry and in tears from secondhand heartache. I mean she put Finn and especially Scottie through it. I found myself literally asking why Max Monroe why!?!The angst, the drama, the secrets, the twists, the falling, the love and again THEE heartache. I just could not and did not want to put this book down. I was riveted, hooked up on every single word. Finn was all broody but a total sweetheart once he fell. Scottie, phew talk about strength personified. They had so much to learn, about life, each other, love and everything in between. They were messy, flawed, vulnerable, perfectly imperfect and I loved it. At times, they were exactly what you’d expect from college teens but at others, they carried a maturity, wisdom and tenacity of those twice their age. Their story was nothing like I expected yet blew any and all expectations out the water.I lost count of how many times I was literally laughing out loud and shaking from laughing tears. There were also so many moments that left my heart so full, overflowing with joy and happiness. The Winslows, Hayes, Klines, Lancasters, Kellys and the new found friends all in one book was pure absolute hilarious chaos and oh how I loved it!This book felt good in all the best ways and it hurt like h3ll in other ways. Max Monroe, you’ve done with your big one with this and I cannot wait for more of this series! Definitely a fave of this year! And is it too early to already declare this one of my favorite second generation series??

    A Wonderful New Generation
    For five years I have loved reading and annually rereading the tales of Max Monroe’s wild, wacky, hilarious and endearing characters including Kline and Georgia, Thatcher and Cassie, Wes and Winnie and their friends and families. Now their offspring are having their day, and offering us a great time watching them facing love and life challenges with all the feels, laughter and tears. Imagine Thatch AND his son Ace in a prank war! That’s just a taste of this wonderful glimpse into the families we have come to love. Thank you Max & Monroe, please keep these coming!

    👍
    Wow! What a way to start a series! I found this story extraordinary. The relationship between Finn and Scottie was so intensely heartfelt. Their Individual story gutted, and inspired me. It was such fun to have the characters who started it all make an appearance. For me it was nostalgic and made me smile.I cried, laughed, and my heart was full of love for this story. This was a beautiful story and I’m looking forward to the series! ❤📖❤

    Heartstrings Tugged
    Finn and Scottie’s story took an unbelievable turn, I feel like I saw it coming but I really wished it didn’t.Finn has so much drama and won’t let anyone in. Scottie comes with her own bag of issues but know one sees it until it’s too late. Great book,long read and some areas I think could’ve been shortened but over all I give it four stars. Anxiously awaiting book 2 in the Dickson Series.

  11. Kindle Customer

    WOW!!!! What an amazing read. Highly recommend it.
    What an amazing book. Every time I start reading one of your books I always think that there is no way you can top it off with something better and every time I am pleasantly surprised with the very next which is beyond betterThis book is one of your best works ever, you don’t know what to expect on every chapter .Turns and twists have you going to a whole different direction than the one you were expecting.Lots of funny moments, lots of moments that will pull your heart strings and most importantly lots of unforgettable moments that you take away with you, way after reading this book. And of course the life lessons that you take with you and make you think.Saying that this book is AMAZING doesn’t do it justice.1000 BRAVO’s on another job well done. Can’t wait for the next one to come out.No pressure 😉
