Briarwood High #3
The Perfect League
What can Briarwood's resident bad boy teach little miss perfect? A lot, actually, since he's her hot new tutor.
Beloved by her classmates at Briarwood High and newly minted captain of the girls' basketball team, Juliette's life is perfect. Except for the fact that she's one bad grade away from failing. A tutor might help, but that would mean exposing her deep dark secret--she's not perfect. Far from it. But if word gets out, her team will lose their fearless leader and she'll lose her stainless reputation. Luckily there's one name on the list of tutors who has nothing to do with her friends...or anyone else in the school, for that matter. Connor may not have friends, but it turns out there's a lot he can teach her. And not all of it is on her syllabus. Like how amazing a first kiss can be and how hard and fast two people can fall in love, even when they both know that this secret relationship is all sorts of wrong.
The Briarwood High novels are completely standalone romances that can be read in any order.

This is a G-rated, young-adult (YA) contemporary romance between two 16-year-old, high school juniors. There is no on-stage, underage drinking, drugs, smoking, cussing or sex. It is told in first-person point of view (POV), alternating between the POV of the heroine, Juliette, and the hero, Connor, in alternating, clearly labeled chapters.
The "bad boy" (which is how the heroine refers to him) hero Connor is a handsome, brooding, loner type who is very tall, and who has massive muscles, in spite of his never having participated in sports or ever having lifted weights. (I freely admit that unearned male muscles is a pet peeve of mine in any romance novel, not just this one, right up there with heroines who eat with the appetite of a 600-pound sumo wrestler but are only size 2.)
He also has tattoos on his arms that he somehow, somewhere, obtained while very drunk and only age 15, and he miraculously--and not very believably, given that he would have had to go to a legally questionable tattoo parlor to find someone willing to give an intoxicated, underage teenager tattoos--ended up both free of hepatitis and with tattoos that he considers "works of art." This event happened during the previous school year in another town, where he also experienced casual sex with multiple girls. At the start of this story, however, he has been avoiding relationships of all kinds for nearly a year, including friendships as well as romantic or sexual relationships.
Connor's face is frozen in a permanent scowl, and everyone at his high school is intimidated by him. All kinds of sleazy rumors have circulated about him, but in reality, he is nothing like his tough-guy image. He is nurturing to his young sister and a supportive son to his single mother. He is also very intelligent and has good grades, but he needs extracurricular activities to put on his college applications in order to have a chance of earning a scholarship. Without that, he will not be able to afford university tuition. Of the multiple suggestions for potential activities by the school guidance counselor, the only one he can bear to contemplate is serving as a volunteer tutor at his high school, and only because he assumes no one will choose him as a tutor.
In contrast to Connor, Juliette has never dated or been kissed, despite being beautiful, athletically slim, and a bubbly, popular extrovert whom everyone adores. She's much too busy for dating and doesn't want to get distracted by romance until she's in college. She is captain of the varsity basketball team and heavily involved in community service, including assisting the coach of Connor's little sister's basketball team. But she has a deep, dark secret. She struggles with her schoolwork and is in danger of flunking all her classes except English. If she cannot immediately and drastically improve her grades, not only will she have trouble getting into college, but she will be thrown off the basketball team. She tells herself that no one must find out how much she is struggling, because everyone she knows, especially her basketball teammates, considers her to be a Rock of Gibraltar and basically perfect. Preserving her image as a girl without problems is essential to her. She knows she needs a tutor, but she wants it to be someone whom no one within her extensive circle of friends and acquaintances knows, to enable her to keep her secret. She views Connor, as an alienated loner, to be her best option to achieve this goal. He never talks to anyone, so he's not going to blab her humiliating secret all over school.
The main focus of this story is on the internal dialogues of both Juliette and Connor as each, in their own way, struggles to overcome low self-esteem. This is a typical trope for a YA novel, to the point that it is almost expected and demanded. It's also a common trope in any romance novel, so the two genres blend together well in that regard in this book.
It was sadly believable to me, and this is the teacher and therapist in me speaking, that it has not been realized by the school counselor or any of her teachers that Juliette is either an extreme auditory learner, or has attention deficit disorder (ADD), or both, which is obviously why she has been struggling so much in an underfunded and understaffed public school system that intensely focuses on visual learning methodology for teaching students. Also, it is difficult, even for the most intelligent, visual learner, to stay focused in a teaching environment where the curriculum is consistently aimed at the lowest common denominator of human learning, rote memorization, which has little to do with actual intelligence, and very much to do with utilizing memory-enhancing parlor tricks, which are accurately depicted in this book. In such a situation, even the most brilliant, visual learner would frequently find their attention wandering due to boredom. But someone like Juliette would find the struggle to stay engaged in class excruciatingly painful. Which is also accurately depicted in this book.
I noted that this book, like so many other YA novels I have read, never brings up the possibility of someone who struggles with low grades in high school, as Juliette does, planning to attend community college, where there is no entrance requirement other than being over 18 or, if under 18, having graduated early from high school and received a diploma. In addition, for a YA protagonist who is struggling to pay for higher education, community colleges, particularly if attended in one's home state with in-state tuition, are massively less costly for completing the first two years of post-secondary education, and then entering a (hopefully, also in-state) university as a transfer student to obtain a four-year degree. Completing an associate's degree at a state community college allows one to be automatically accepted for transfer at a state university. Since most YA novels are invariably didactic to some degree, that valuable information might be useful for teenagers reading YA novels to encounter from time to time.
Aside from that quibble, it is unusual enough these days to see a YA novel without a promiscuous, male romantic protagonist that this in itself will engage most of the reader's attention. It certainly caught mine.
It is also enjoyable that the author has avoided the all-too-common cliche of echoing John Hughes, 1980s, teen-movie plots, with their bacchanalian underage drinking parties, meaningless underage sex, and Mean Girls bullying a hapless heroine.
Another unique element of this novel is that neither the hero nor the heroine has a Confidante, the best friend subcharacter that is so prevalent in YA novels. The vacuum this leaves in their lives provides room in the story for them to believably become each other's Confidante instead. As a result, they become friends before they develop romantic feelings for each other, which is my favorite kind of romance. In a romance novel that has sex scenes, this would be called a "slow-burn" romance. This story is the G-rated version of that.
Speaking of a G-rated romance, one of the best parts about them, in my view, is that without sex scenes taking up a third to a half of a romance novel, there's a lot more room in the story for tenderness and affection between the romantic protagonists. Far too often in sex-obsessed romances, the only emotions exhibited between romantic protagonists, until virtually the final wrap-up scene, are lust, insecure anxiety, and jealous anger. In other words, it is far too easy to fall into overblown melodrama when lasciviousness is the driving force within a fictional romantic relationship. The author in this book does an excellent job of showing real connection and caring between her romantic protagonists, and even without any sex, there is plenty of sexual chemistry.

>Book Review – The Perfect League
>I am an independent reviewer. This book is the 3rd in the Briarwood High series and ends in an HEA. Juliette is the girl who seems to have it all. She is pretty, popular, great at basketball and nice. What she isn’t is passing her classes. She hides this fact from everyone due to embarrassment. She asks the school’s new kid, a tattooed bad boy, Connor, to tutor her. Connor signed up to tutor in order to get more activities on his high school resume, but he really doesn’t want to help Juliette.
>Connor’s backstory isn’t sad. He just moves around a lot and helps to care for his little sister. He acts like he was abused his whole life. Watching Connor and Juliette fall for each other is sweet, but the story doesn’t quite fit. Connor’s mom moves around to follow boyfriends and she finds a new boyfriend online. The family stays put for some reason this time. There was a sweet discussion between mother and son about taking a chance on love, but no mention was made of the mom staying to help Connor’s dreams come true.
>This book is appropriate for a young adult (16+) audience. I am giving this book 4 stars. I loved the unique ways Connor thinks up to help Juliette learn and boost her self-esteem. When Connor gets all alpha protective, the romance really comes alive, even though it is very G rated. I just wish the reason the mom stops moving around was addressed.

This wasn't my favorite of Maggie Dallen. It is a clean read due to sexual content, language was more in the medium range compared to other books I have read. Mostly the Lord's name in vain and the H word.

Maybe because they were so very different, or maybe because I loved the part when big bad Connor took her backpack and slung it over his shoulder. That one gesture made the big bad wolf seem so very human. Sweet, even.
Her answering laugh was soft and sweet, and I knew right then and there that I needed to hear it again. Preferably every day.
His gaze met mine and oh holy cow. Fireworks. Dark stormy nights. Ocean waves at midnight. If I was a poet I’d have the right words to describe their dark depths and all the emotions I saw there. It was hot.
“You’re a big brooding ball of mystery.
“So what do I do?” It was an unfair question since my mom didn’t know the whole story, but she still managed to come up with some great advice. She planted her hands on my shoulders and looked me straight in the eyes. “You get your head out of your ass and you go get your girl.”
Neither of us was perfect. But that didn’t mean we weren’t perfect for each other.
This girl had my heart and I wanted her to know it.
I like this book. I didn’t love it as much as the other two books in the series, Out of His League and A Whole New League. I really like Connor and Juliette as an individual and as a couple, but I think I was missing a little bit more of the romance. They had some very cute swoon worthy moments. I love getting both POV. I love that Maggie Dallen mentions Drew and Ronnie, and Brain and Alice who are from the first two books. This was a quick, fluffy and fun read. 4 stars.

Yup, I liked this book it was cute and interesting. I am just going to add well no; I am just going to rate this book a 4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ star.
•••• There’s a possibility of spoilers in my review•••****
https://ladiikeiii.wordpress.com/2019...
So let me get into why I rate it a 4 star instead of a 5 star. I am going to say because it was 100% great; but a good book. I did like Juliette and Conner story I thought they both were made for one another. Not only that they completed each other; even though they were complete opposites.
Opposites do attract, and I do believe with this series there were plenty of those. They both made each other happy, even Conner sister Gina was delighted that he had Juliette in his life. Without her, I believe that Conner would’ve still held on to his fears especially with getting close to others. Thinking that his mother will move to another state in the USA. & not only that his father had an effect on his worries about people up and leaving him. There’s a lot of understanding when it comes to both Jules and Conner situations.

Maggie Dallen’s Briarwood High books are a wonderful series that’s totally relatable to what I remember of my High School experience. The prior books in the series had several characters in particular that I could personally identify with. That wasn’t the case this third time around (I’ve never been a hard rocker musician or a basketball player) but the characters still have the same feeling of being totally genuine. I don’t know how she does it but this author captures the High School experience like no other, and does so in a manner that is a total blast of serious enjoyment. I loved Juliette and Connor’s story, loved how the lead and supporting characters (both good and bad) were so well crafted, and loved the feeling of “wow” I had when finishing this book. But for the fact that I’m literally dictating this review to my husband from my hospital bed I could go on and on with praises - this book definitely deserves it. Since I can’t do that I will simply note that the book is most definitely one to read, it is easy to highly recommend.

What can I say? I just love big-guys-that-seems-really-bad-news-but-are-sweet-inside. Connor, you just became the man of my dreams hahaha
The romance was nice and it was good to see a MC that knew what she wanted and didn't go all crazy with being in love for a change.
For the bad things, I would have really liked Connor to talk with his mom about moving places for some random guy. It really consumed him, so it would be nice to have some closure with that. Furthermore, the side characters were not worked here. Almost no friends, a little bit of a sister and that was it. I loved to read about them, but we need to see more of others to really construct the story and give it some deep.
In summary, it was a good and nice read. Even if Connor was the only highlight in all that, I still recommend this book

Juliette is basketball captain, junior who needs a tutor to help her improve her grades to avoid falling all her classes except English. Connor, tattooed bad boy is Juliette only option so her team mates and friends don't find out she's not perfect like her academic brother and unsympathetic parents. Juliette and Connor click unexpectedly with Connor giving Juliette different ways to comprehend her studies and stop her from being her own roadblock instead of seeing herself as dumb. Whereas Juliette helps helps Connor with his relationship outlook since his has learned to protect himself from after frequent moving towns with his younger sister and mother. I enjoyed Connor and Juliette's interactions and how they challenge each other.
Loved Connor's sister Gina, would definitely read her story.

Normally I'm not a big fan of YA but when this author writes it, I will read it! This is a sweet story about Juliette and Connor. High school students who are complete opposites. I loved the characters in this. Juliette is popular and captain of the girl's basketball team. She's an all around great person. Connor doesn't have anything to do with anybody. Keeps to himself and doesn't really talk to anyone. My heart just breaks for him. I want to give him a big hug! This has a great storyline. There is a very good lesson to learn in this. Never judge a book by it's cover! You might get surprised! Looking forward to more in this series!

Short and cute!
Really cute story! I love this type of book mostly because it was opposite attract!
Love both lead characters, I love her spunk and determination and I love how he went from moody and dark to such a romance towards her.
Why I don’t give it a 5 stars because I wish it was a longer book and because of it being short it felt everything was happening just to fast.

Ok, good girl versus bad boy, it's something that we all hear about.
However, the twist is that the not so academically astute good girl, desperately needs a tutor that can help understand her classwork, before she either fails and has to repeat, or she is off the basketball team she Captain's.
On the list of potential tutors, is the new student, with the fiercest bad boy persona, that sends everyone scuttling from his path. For her own reasons, he is the one that she asks for help.

This was a great Y/A novel! Maggie Dallen has written another good book! Juliette and Cameron were a perfect pair that let you know how they felt about a first kiss or cooking for his little sister! They were a couple that could get you to laugh or just perhaps shed some tears! I would definitely recommend this book!

Maggie Dallen is a guarantee of what you’re looking is a nice, romantic, Happy story. She creates characters that are endearing and easy to relate to.
I love the heroine because she’s innocent but very strong whiteout the need to being bossy or rude. She has an amazing emotional intelligence and that makes me admire her.

Another sweet story in the series - this time with an interesting role reversal: For once, the heroine is the popular athlete with the failing grades, and the hero is the loner misfit who gets to tutor her.
I like both Juliette and Connor, and they make a cute couple.

Sweet
It was a little short and they fell for each other a bit too quickly, but I adored them both. All the characters are great. Also, loved the focus on the girl who struggled with academics and treating that struggle well.

Overall I have mixed feelings on this series. They're all cute, fun, clean romance, but every bit cliche and bland as well... As I rated the first: "Quick cute clean cliche". Okay for a lazy day teen romance

Adorably Sweet! 💜
I thoroughly enjoyed this novel from the first page until the very last. It has been very rare that I have been able to read a book in one day, but I was captivated by these characters instantaneously.

Cute!
This was a fun and easy breezy read - I have fallen in love with Maggie Dallen’s young adult books.

The Perfect League was a cute read. Juliette is a sweet and caring character. Connor is everything you could ask for in a classic "bad boy". Together, their story is heart-warming and fun.

I read this like 60 books ago and while my memory sucks I remember both the MC's and the plot which was adorbs. Also Connor is all kinds of hot.
