My favorite genre of story to read here on GA has always been Romance.  But a particular flavor of Romance I particularly enjoy is that of the College Romance.  Maybe because I wasn’t lucky enough to have a romance of my own in college?  A particular story that caught my interest late in 2022 was one such college romance, Good Guys Don’t Date Bad Boys, by Laura S. Fox. 

In Good Guys Don’t Date Bad Boys, we’re introduced to Jonathan Hamilton, a young college student who has changed schools in his junior year, fleeing undisclosed “drama” that has left him guarded when meeting new people. Apparently , trusting new people previously was partially the cause of his current predicament. It soon becomes apparent that Jonathan comes from money and privilege, and yet he brought none of that with him when he started at his new school.  

Shortly into the new semester Jonathan encounters a seemingly rowdy group who, in his mind, are stereotypical frat boys. One in particular stands out, Maddox Kingsley, a  tight-shirted, perfectly sculpted, perfect specimen, emitting nonchalance. Or, in Jonathan’s first impression,  a douche. 

Maddox is the apparent BMOC, with a reputation of girls throwing themselves at him, and competing in some form of “illegal fighting.” He comes with a requisite nickname “Mad Dawg.” Yet, upon seeing Jonathan, takes an inexplicable interest in him, and determines to get to know him. To which, in what might be one of the funnier introductions of all time, Jonathan simply replies “not interested.” After all, Maddox is an obvious bad boy, and Jonathan has determined good guys don’t date bad boys. 

Thus begins one roller-coaster ride of a romance with twists and turns, and revelations you’ll never see coming. I had a great time reading this, and a great time interacting with the author as she posted. It’s a fun, sweet story and I highly recommend, if you haven’t had the chance, check it out today.
