The Wallflower's Playbook
(2026)(The second book in the Bats and Badgers series)
A novel by A J Kyler
LINDEN
Farm boy, long-term student, and a virgin.
I’m not exactly Prince Charming material, right?
I’ve spent years trading freedom for family duty, while trying to fit into a life that never felt like mine. But this summer, I’m dead set on making a change. I’m ready to walk my own path and finally have the college experience I’ve missed out on. Losing my V-card is at the very top of my list. Unfortunately, my ‘inexperience’ sends most guys running for the hills.
Then my insanely hot roommate—the charming and confident captain of B-Tech’s football team—needs a crash course in bedroom activities.
I know I’m not the right person to give advice, but he never needs to find out that all my so-called knowledge comes from the spicy romance books I’ve devoured.
Looks like class is officially in session.
MICAH
Reputation is everything; I’ve had to figure that out early. I should be on my way to the NFL, but I’m scared talent alone might not be enough to secure me a good draft spot.
So I’ve built a whole fake persona: B-Tech’s football captain is a lot more fun than I am—and also a lot more experienced in the bedroom.
Too bad my fabricated image starts to crack when I get invited to a real-life threesome. But there’s no game out there that you can’t train for, and luck seems to be on my side when my roommate volunteers as my study partner.
He wants to have some fun, I need to keep my cover.
It’s just a summer filled with extra lessons—until every touch starts to feel a little bit too real.
The Wallflower's Playbook is the second in a four book standalone mm college romance series, each of them featuring different athletes. It is filled with a tentative love blossoming between two unlikely friends, witty banter, spicy scenes, family drama, and wholesome friendships.
Genre: Gay Romance
