Brandon Mills versus the V-Card

Prescott College, Book 2

By: J.A. Rock, Lisa Henry

Narrated by: Joel Leslie

Smart, shy Prescott sophomore Brandon Mills is working hard to overcome his troubled past and be normal. Life at Prescott and in his fraternity, Phi Sigma Kappa, is good. With the help of his friends Mark and Deacon, Brandon is slowly coming out of his shell. When he accidentally drenches a freshman in orange soda, though, he faces something he’s not ready for: a boy crushing on him.

Alex Kekoa pledges Phi Sig because it has everything he wants - a house full of nerds who won’t tease him for being smart, a dog, and Brandon Mills. Brandon is just the type of guy Alex needs to help fulfill his college ambition: losing his virginity. Except Alex doesn’t know Brandon can’t stand to touch or be touched.

When Alex and Brandon are drafted onto the Phi Sig Academic Challenge team, they start spending time together. If there’s anyone who can help Brandon discover it feels good to touch and kiss, maybe it’s klutzy Alex, with his cute glasses and his dinosaur obsession.

But as the competition - and their relationship - heats up, Alex’s determination not to die a virgin clashes with Brandon’s vow of lifelong celibacy, forcing them to examine what’s truly important to each of them about love.

This is a second edition previously published elsewhere.

Leslie's narration is next level

I loved this book when I read it, but Joel Leslie brought this book to life for me. This may be his best narration of all those I've listened to.

Alex is adorable and sweet and everything you'd expect from a kid who grew up surrounded by love. I believe cinnamon roll definitely applies. Brandon, he breaks my heart, and I spent the whole book wanting to make things better for him. This is a difficult book as Brandon was sexually assaulted by a teacher as a twelve year old and the affects of that have completely and understandably taken over his life. But they find each other and make each other's lives so much better. This is not a "love fixes everything" story though, it is a story that shows how the love of those around you can give you the desire and courage to fight for yourself. I was teary at many points.

Plus all the fun characters from Mark Cooper vs. America are present and they are too loveable to not want to spend more time with them.

An absolute win for me in all the ways.

The perfect balance

A perfect blend of humor while dealing with a serious issue. I want more books like this!!

LOL

Between the Adorkable MCs and the hysterical support characters plus a great story, this one made me laugh and want to cry. The narrator did a great job bringing it all to life!

Soo good

The gang is back and better than ever! If you were a fan of the first book you are going to love Brandon’s story. Hysterical, adorable, Joel Leslie’s perfect narration will make you love this audiobook.

Fun and at times poignant story

I enjoyed this book even though it wasn’t exactly what I expected from the description. Brandon has a traumatic event happen when he was younger that causes a fear of touch. He meets Alex and together work through his fear and fall for each other along the way.
