Project Hero

by Briar Prescott

What if you accidentally fell in love with the right guy?



If my life was a movie, I would be the sidekick. Not an especially promising start when my plan is to finally let my best friend know I have a crush on him. I just need a complete makeover. Change everything about myself so that when Falcon returns from his summer vacation, he can finally see I'm the love of his life. If I knew what I was doing, I wouldn't look like every nerd cliché wrapped into one awkward package. In short, I'm screwed. But then Law Anderson enters the picture . . .



I need somebody to tutor my hockey team, and Andy needs somebody to help him with his crush. Only the more time I spend with Andy, the more I like this quirky guy who makes me laugh, and pretty soon I'm the one who's tutoring Andy in way more than we initially agreed upon. But as weeks pass and the chemistry between us turns explosive, I'm starting to think that I might be in way over my head with Andy. If only I could make Andy realize that he doesn't need to change himself for love. If only I could make Andy see that he just needs to be with somebody who has considered him perfect all along . . .

There was a lot to like about this cute and sweet story, but if I'm being 100% honest, it didn't totally blow me away.



While reading a story with the amount of funny banter that I prefer, I'll generally post a lot of out-of-context "snippet" updates when something makes me genuinely laugh or a section of the story is really touching; however, in the reported 251 pages, I only posted 3 updates here, which was super-low for a full-length book.

So while I did like both Andy and Law a whole, whole lot, for me, the volume of the banter, humor, and the feels could've been amped up a few more notches and I would've been an even happier camper.

In regards to both angst and steam, the book had moderate levels of both, with no significant Big Misunderstandings or drama llamas rearing their less-than-welcome heads.

The story did have a very strong finish, so I'd probably rate it slightly higher at around 3.75 stars, rounding up, because it was very enjoyable, even if it didn't quite knock my socks entirely off.

What an adorable story! I just love characters like Andy and Law. Andy is cute, nerdy and adorably awkward and Law is really sweet, caring and incredibly down to earth. I loved those two together, loved the way Law treated Andy. It was perfect.

I was just a tiny bit underwhelmed by the way a certain thing was resolved towards the end, I was hoping for something different. But overall I thoroughly enjoyed reading this. It was sweet and funny and really well-written.

An accurate representation of how I feel right now 👇🏾



With the world mired in chaos and my personal life hanging by a thread before it turns trash, I needed a pick me up quite like this book. This book was such a breath of fresh air considering all the other mm romcoms follow the tired and tested method of boy meets boy, they fuck, they fall in love, the godforsaken fight at the 90% mark, a rushed reconciliation and a derivative epilogue.

This one felt fresh because, while I know this is an idyllic setting and not the reality, there wasn't any homophobia. None at all. Law and the other jock, Falcon are both big stars in their local college sports and not once do their sexualities become some hurdle. And my god did they make me melt.

This book is about physics nerd extraordinaire and ball of adorableness, Andy. He believes he is the sidekick. His best friend and neighbour Falcon has ridden to his rescue plenty of times and even took him under his wing to protect him from people who mocked Andy after an unfortunate vomiting spree during a school debate. Andy has plenty of issues. He has anxiety, a fear of public speaking and low self esteem. He is in love with Falcon. He is also hilarious.

I have glasses that are an absolute must, since otherwise, I'm blind as a bat and walk into a lot of walls. I've tried not wearing them in hopes of walking into a hot guy instead. Didn't happen. I did stumble into an angry janitor once, who sprayed me with a bottle of Windex and yelled at me. It wasn't a love match.

Seriously, Andy should have been the sole narrator of the story.

"Is this the right time to mention that running, and exercise in general is against my religion?" I ask as we drop our things in our lockers.
"And what religion is that?"
"I worship on the altar of Mars Inc. and Hershey Co."

Due to serendipity, Andy and Law meet and become allies. In exchange for Andy's services in knowledge of Physics, Law gets his Pygmalion on and helps Andy become the hero he wants to be so that he can finally get Falcon to notice him.

Because this book is told from both Andy and Law's perspectives, we know they will end up together. I wish the author had opted to give us a proper love triangle where the whole story was told from Andy's perspective and we got to see him grow and change and be pleasantly surprised when he finally chooses the love of his life.

I don't know what modern day romance authors have against surprising readers but I'm not one so what do I know.

This is the reason why this book gets 4 stars and not 5. That and that infernal infuriating dual first person POV. I don't care if a book makes me feel like I'm part marshmallow. Fuck dual first person POV and everything it stands for.


Thank you to BookSirens for providing me with this copy in exchange for an honest review.

I wasn't quite as enamored with this book as all my friends seemed to me. Don't get me wrong: this is a cute, if predictable, story. I liked Andy's sassy mouth, and I loved the way Andy and Law interacted. Even the way Law "stalked" Andy initially was amusing.

Oh, and kudos for the dual POV!

Falcon turned out to be a good guy in the end, although I was confused about his sexuality.

I wish the steam factor had been ramped up a bit. I was frustrated by how utterly clueless Andy was about his feelings for Law.

My favorite part was the epilogue. Such a great HEA for this adorable couple!

This was like a breath of fresh air: it was light and cute and funny.

Law and Andy have amazing chemistry together filled with lots of banter but also a deeper connection. They can truly and freely be themselves when they’re together, and nobody makes them feel as happy and confident as each other. Especially Law gives Andy a healthy dose of self-love which he was surely missing before they met.
It was just so nice to see them be so supportive and understanding of each other, especially since they seem like they’d be opposites. They were just great together, and I absolutely loved that.

The plot itself is also entertaining.
Andy thinks he has to alter himself to change from a “sidekick” into a “hero” in order for his best-friend and unrequited crush, Falcon, to finally notice him in a different way.
In comes Law, who promises to help Andy with his “make-over” (even though he doesn’t think Andy needs it) in return for some tutoring for half of the hockey team who are currently failing their physics class. A deal is struck between them, and Law and Andy quickly fall into a friendship that develops into more.
It’s a funny yet sweet ride, and although both of them are scared to admit their true feelings for each other, the miscommunication didn’t really annoy me, but rather kept the tension and slight pining going.

The only thing that really bothered me was that Andy took up until the very end of the book to choose Law over Falcon. Hell, he was literally confessing his love to FALCON and kissing him in the final 15 pages. It just didn’t sit right with me that Andy had to try things with Falcon first to fully realise he was truly in love with Law. I feel like his feelings should have just been obvious on its own, especially after so long..

Anyway, all in all, I really enjoyed this book. I had lots of fun with it and I really loved the couple.

[Teal · Rating 3 out of 5]

This appears to be Briar Prescott's debut novel, and it's a solid one. It's a familiar setup, as two college students, in the classic jock and nerd pairing, slowly fall for each other. But this stands out from the crowd by showing me how these two people are right for each other. How they're good for each other.

So many romances are all about the strength of the attraction, the desire, the longing, the I need you yadda yadda, the I can't live without you blah blah blah. And you have to take the author at their word, you have to go along with it because you're reading a romance and that's how it works, right? Yet how often does an author actually show each MC becoming a better, stronger, more balanced, more joyous person as the relationship progresses?

I don't know the answer to that question, but this book made me ask it -- because it did such a lovely job of showing how Andy and Law each brought out the best in the other. It made me aware that many of the romances I've read failed to do that. Not only did they fail to do it, it wasn't even on the author's agenda. And perhaps that's an at least partial explanation for why I rarely care about seeing an HEA.

Don't get me wrong -- when I read a romance, I definitely want a feel-good ending. But usually I'd be perfectly satisfied with an HFN. In fact, that's normally how I frame an ending in my own mind, even if the author presents it as an ever-after. Like, sure the MCs want each other now, but who knows where they'll be in 10 years? There's more to a relationship than wanting... and the missing piece this story brought to my attention was the being-good-for-each-other bit. That's a marvelous part of relationship-building that I'm going to be wanting to see in every romance I read from now on out.

The book did have a significant flaw, however, one that made me initially give it a pass after reading the sample: excess verbiage. Too many words devoted to the thoughts in the characters' heads, too much reiteration of ground previously covered, too much doubling-up of characters' words with superfluous mention of their facial expression or intent ("sarcastically," e.g.), too many long internal monologues intruding in the middle of action. Usually I have no patience for that particular writing flaw, but here... well, here the bones of the story were good. The writing was, underneath the fat, good. I would have loved to have been turned loose with a red pen -- I estimate I could have cut the text by 35-40%, leaving behind a leaner, sharper, more compelling read. I hope the author finds an editor like that for her next book. She needs someone who would gleefully, yet lovingly, hack away at the bloat.

A thank you to Pablito for recommending this to me, providing me the nudge I needed to give it a second chance. I definitely feel optimistic about this new author, and look forward to seeing more from her.

*4.25 stars

Project Hero is a light, heartwarming romance between a physics-lover and a jock.

Andy has a crush on his best friend Falcon since forever and he’s done waiting for him to realise they are made for each other. Falcon needs to see him like boyfriend material, not like the nerdy brother he has to protect. He’s determined to stop being the sidekick and become the hero of the story. Only that he’s not sure how.

Law needs a physics tutor for his hockey team and Andy is the man for the task. They make a deal: Law will help him with the makeover Andy is sure he needs in exchange of tutoring the team. Everyone wins, right? But when Law gets to know Andy, he starts to fall for him instead. Helping Andy to charm other man is not fun anymore.


I would have read this book only for Andy. It was super easy to connect with him and his humour was HILARIOUS. I totally get why Law was in love with him, Andy made everything so much better.


Usually, I dislike stairs. People have gone through a lot of trouble to come up with the concept of an elevator, so I’m a firm believer that we should honor their work and let ourselves be whisked through the air in metal boxes, where the only physical activity involved is lifting our fingers and pressing a button.


As for Law, the boy deserves a hug for helping Andy by destroying his heart in the process. It was the unrequited love trope at its finest, and I enjoyed every moment of angst. Also, they were so much fun together. Project Hero is the kind of book you can reread over and over again when you need a shot of happiness and laugh in your life.

Overall, if you are in the mood for achill, pure good vibes book that will make you laugh and smile, but also suffer a bit with the unrequited love trope, I truly recommend giving Project Hero a try. I have read almost all the books by this author and this one is hands down my favourite.


Andy: I made that pros and cons list you wanted.
-Sex counts as exercise (5 calories per minute. We could do it instead of the gym sessions if you are worried having sex with me will be hard to fit into your schedule).
-Sex improves sleep (you could be asleep right now if you’d taken me up on my offer before.)
-Sex boosts your immune system (you’ll thank me when you won’t have to skip games because of a common cold).
-Sex lowers heart attack risk (I mean, you’re young, but being proactive about your health is never a bad thing).

Law: What about the cons?

Andy: Sex relieves stress. Let’s do it, and you won’t have to worry about the cons anymore.

“Are you gonna come up?” Law asks, and now his tone is decidedly more serious. I whirl around. “You can see me?” I ask like the moron that I am. “I have windows, you know?” he says, and the smile is back in his voice.

GAHHH THIS WAS SO FUCKING CUTE!

This was my first briar book and it won’t be my last, the banter was great, I laughed alot and kinda swooned over how precious law was with andy. Nerd jock combos are a weakness for me so I ate this up. It was a new twist on unrequited love with andy and his gay bff Falcon and it was so refreshing to read something without homophobia or internal struggles with sexuality! This book just made me feel happy.

Cute, low-angst college romance.

Project Hero had some of my favorite tropes, fun characters and great writing.

I found the absence of homophobic scenes and sexuality struggles pretty refreshing, especially for a college romance with a jock protagonist.
I mean, I also love angsty tear-jerkers, but this was such a peaceful story, no hate, no bad emotions. I feel restored, like a nice warm cuddly hug I didn’t know I needed.

This was a very light-hearted read, and even better than all the words written in it or the how was how this book made me feel - just happy.

Was this an objective five star read?
Probably not, but I’m not an objective person.

Tropes and NSFW info (spoilers):
- Nerd vs Jock
- College setting
- “In love w/ best friend” trope
- Sex lessons trope
- Makeover trope
- Friends/friends with benefits to lovers

Very sweet read with no angst

[Marci · Rating 4 out of 5]

Awww, this was super cute! This was my second Briar Prescott book after The Happy List and I really enjoyed it but I still liked The Happy List more. The banter, chemistry and humor were once again out in full force and I found myself genuinely laughing over and over. Sometimes it felt a little cheesy 🧀 but that's okay, it was a lot of fun. I loved that we didn't have that typical long drawn out period where you just wish the characters would talk already, dammit!!!!! The dual first person POV also made this one a win for me. If you're looking for a queer She's All That then look no further!

Yep. I still love it. I will never get tired of this book.

WHAT. A. FANTASTIC. BOOK!
Project Hero basically have everything I want in a book. A sweet love story between two guys that deserves nothing more than happiness and love, a witty and sarcastic nerd and a hot jock that makes me swoon. Really, Andy is such a cute, slightly oblivious character and Law is just... well Law.
It's so funny, I cracked up and highlighted so many passages. It contains about zero angst, which, you know me. I'm not great with angst.

And, finally, finally, finally, finally (I can't say finally enough!), a book with athletes that doesn't hide in the closet!!!! YES!

Briar Prescott wrote an outstanding debut novel and I can't wait to read more from this author.

[Mariam, · Rating 4 out of 5]

"It’s your dream. I will do anything to make it happen for you."

The way my entire existence related to this sentence, if my life was a movie, I would be the sidekick. it's disgustingly hilarious.


I know for some people, Andy's unfiltered and raw sarcastic nature and his bubbly quirks and his sensational comebacks were their favorite part of this story, and I do admit, the banter between Andy and Law was just GODTIER meant to be status, but the way Law treated Andy literally makes me cry in single.

He lifts his head and smiles at me. “Sorry. I’m not laughing at you. I swear. It’s just… Snickers body. You should have your own podcast or something. I’d listen to every episode. I swear.”
“I’ll call it The Dad Bod Pod with Andy. Don’t forget to click subscribe.” I roll my eyes.



“Are you sure?” Law asks.
I nod. “As death.”
Law’s lips twitch. “Well, that’s romantic.”
I push at his shoulder. “I was trying to illustrate my level of commitment.”
“You really are one of a kind.”



It’s intimate as fuck to be so open in front of somebody like this, and it should feel like too much, but it’s Law, and with him, there’s no embarrassment or insecurity. Only need. All-consuming and limitless need.

The way they communicated with each other, their sarcastic nature mixed with a bit of awkwardness and a tenth of sexual tension, but also being able to hold deep and meaningful conversations... I swear that unmanned me.

I rub my hands together excitedly. “It’ll be great,” I announce. “We’ll start tomorrow. I’ll pick you up at six.”
“Six!” he yelps. “My alarm clock didn’t come with the six a.m. option.”
“It’ll be great,” I assure him once more.
Andy opens the front door wordlessly. He steps out and takes another disgusted look at me. “I rue the day I met you,” he announces.
I laugh as I watch him sulkily trudge down the stairs.
My mood is great for the rest of the evening.

Their friendship was the best part of this book. Watching them grow from strangers to owing favors from another and those favors turning into more and more where eventually favors weren't favors anymore.

That makes me do a double take. “What do you mean? I have years’ worth of data. You can’t just dismiss my research like that.”
“No. What you have is comparisons. Unfavorable ones, it seems, which means you, my friend, have done something extremely unscientific and cherry-picked your data.”
I gasp. “Are you questioning my methods?”



I want to wave him off and say it’s nothing, but it’s Law. We’re friends, first and foremost. There isn’t, and never has been, any room for games between us.




He’s the Wayne to my Garth. Wallace to my Gromit. Shrek to my Donkey. Batman to my Robin.

I don't know if it's just because I'm the biggest nerd I know but the way Andy related to the very heart of my being...

Law is quiet for a moment before he sighs and says, “Fine, five times a week.”
“Two,” I counter.
“Four, but we’ll go for a hike one of those days.”
“Two days and a hike. That’s my final offer.”
“Three days and a short hike,” Law says.
“Fine,” I grumble. “You get three mornings, a hike, and my eternal hatred.”
“Deal,”

I do wish like the last ¾ of this book was a bit more extended and what leaded from the ending before the epilogue, I wish there were more chapters from then and on. That's my only complaint from this book.

Also is it just me, but this just reminds me of Briar U, because their university name is "Baril U"

Regardless, I feel like this book now shares a special part from me because when I started this book, I was having a bad bad brain day. My mind was racing and I wanted to vomit every second because it wasn't the good racing kind, but one that had me anxious and figety and constantly turning and tossing about. I will never forget how this book literally silenced my mind and captivated me from the first chapter and kept me hooked until the very last page.


And for that, I will be forever grateful.

“The… the makeover thing?” I ask. Shit, this is going to be embarrassing, but I can’t seem to stop myself. The alien mouth syndrome strikes again. “I call it Project Hero in my mind. You know, turn the sidekick into a hero.”
I refuse to look at Law. I should have just kept my mouth shut.
We’re both quiet for a moment before Law starts speaking again. “I don’t know if my opinion counts, but I love spending time with you. My solo gym sessions are super boring now that I know what it feels like when you’re running next to me and cracking me up with your jokes. Or right now”—he gestures toward the TV—“just hanging out has been more fun than I’ve had in forever. You’re smart and dedicated and nice. Not to mention you’re also doing me this huge favor that might very well be the key to getting my career on track. You’re a good person, Andy Carter, and as far as I’m concerned, that makes you a hero in my book.”

4.5 Stars!

So glad I ended up giving this one a go, it had some mixed reviews among my GRs friends. But I really really liked it.

At first I was worried Andy would be too "woe is me" - I'm too plain, I'm too boring, why would anyone like me? And he was a bit at first but Law really brought out the best in him. I loved their banter and chemistry.

I was worried about the whole Falcon thing. I didn't care for how Falcon treated Andy honestly so I was concerned with how that would all play out. Falcon's character confused me. I just wanted Andy to wake up and see what was right in front of him. Guess that doesn't make for as entertaining of reading. How it all played out is really probably my only reason for rounding down and not up. It just didn't feel right or authentic. Luckily it was nothing overly dramatic. And it didn't ruin anything for me.

Otherwise really loved everything about this one and can't wait for more from this author.

[annob [on hiatus] · Rating 3 out of 5]

Such a pretty cover and the blurb sounded cute too, since I do have a soft spot for underdogs finding love. But I have to say I wasn't immediately won over when I started the story. I struggled a bit with Andy's type of humour, but also with the writing structure.

An example:
// MC2 is running late for a meet up with MC1
Book: "On my way", I text Andy.
Book: I park in my space in front of the apartment I rent in Montpelier.
Me: ok
Book: The town is miniscule compared to NY, but I like it.
Me: ok, but kinda irrelevant right now, you're in a hurry
Book: The campus is only 10 miles away.
Me: What? Why are you thinking about this now? You're late, remember?
Book: Most people prefer to live in dorms
Me: I don't care about these details right now. Neither should you!
Book: but I like privacy, so for the last two years I've rented an apartment.
Me: Ok, surely we must be done now, can we pleasepleaseplease get back to the actual scene
Book: I used to rent a house with my teammates blah blah blah (drones on another full paragraph)
Me: ARGH!!!!
// End of example.

Just when I was ready to give up, the book did improve on me and I enjoyed the second half much more than the first. The story was angst free and the pair did have nice chemistry between them. Law was an absolute darling!

[Cyndi (hiatus) · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was just so stinking cute! At first it had a She's All That vibe (without the problematic bet trope, thank goodness), but quickly became less about Andy's self-imposed reinvention and more about Andy becoming comfortable and confident as the person he already was (with a little help from Law, of course). I adored both Andy and Law. They were both so good to and for each other. I love stories like this, especially when I'm looking for some drama-free sweetness. And the epilogue was perfection. This book was lighthearted and funny and I'm disappointed that I let it sit on my tbr for so long.

[Cat the bookworm (semi hiatus ish) · Rating 4 out of 5]

Easy banter, nerd/jock (ish) dynamic, and a not really fake relationship - great ingredients for an entertaining read.

Andy, the nerd, is in love with his best friend, Falcon. Falcon is a jock, but not THE jock in this book - he’s Andy’s childhood friend and college roommate, always looking out for him.

When Law, the assistant hockey coach at the college, approaches Andy because he needs a physics tutor for a few of his hockey players, Andy comes up with the idea of Law “coaching” him to become a more desirable version of himself, hoping to catch Falcon’s attention (hence the title of the book - he wants to turn himself into a „hero“)

You can guess how well this works: both fail in love with each other, even if Andi takes an INSANELY long time to realise that he does, in fact, want Law and not Falcon.

That’s the reason why I can’t rate it higher, I really felt like stepping in and shaking some sense into Andy at times.

Law on the other hand was as perfect as it gets ❤️

Still a highly enjoyable book if you like sarcastic and self-deprecating MCs.

The KU book comes with a free audio narrated by Joel Leslie (Andy) and Iggy Toma (Law). Iggy I’ll always love, and Joel isn’t too bad here, either, so definitely a thumbs up from me for the audio 👍🏻

CUTE.
That sums it up very nicely.
Cute on all levels. And pretty hot, too.

Clueless, nerdy, awkward Andy who’s never seen himself as more than mediocre and wants to be a ‘hero’ rather than a ‘sidekick’ is a fab character who made me chuckle and awww to the same extent, and I loved genuine, caring, kind Law who can’t resist Andy’s charms for long.

While the plot is well known and not exactly unexpected, this is really well written and a total winner in the fluffy and light category. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and none of my niggles really took away from that.

I don’t read a lot of college romance these days, but I might very well return to this one on a day when I need a smile.

⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/5 Rounding Up!

The plot of this book is not a new concept. I’ll just put that out there.

And yet...

I thought it was absolutely adorable! Maybe because I’m a sucker for all the tropes used here. Maybe because I desperately needed something light, fluffy and low angst. (My current Hazard and Somerset book has been heavy!) But I think it’s more than that.

The writing was solid. I couldn’t believe this was a debut novel. It was fun and hard to put down. The characters were likable and lovable. The steam to plot ratio was just right and there was a bit of a slow burn but not sloth or glacier slow.

I’ll be keeping an eye on this author. I hope to see more from her.

I really, really enjoyed this, and thanks to those who read it first so that it showed up on my feed! This is a new-to-me-author, and it's college-aged MCs, which usually isn't my favorite.

And this had the potential to be riddled with cliches. Ugly duckling gets makeover and trades tutoring for sex lessons.

The book was nothing like that though. It was fresh. And funny, without the immature fratboy humor.
