My Rating - 4 Stars!
Better Have Heart by Andy Gallo and Anyta Sunday, starts off very slow. I almost put it down since I wasn't loving it. But I am happy I kept reading. It's a sweet story, with a whole lot of love in it.
The second book in the Harrison Campus series, it's easily read as a standalone. But the first book, Better Be Sure, is a wonderful book, so don't miss it.
In this college romance, Isiah is struggling to earn a scholarship, as all his energy is spent trying to help his family financially. Darren, meanwhile, is the rich kid who knows nothing about poverty. He's a good guy though, and his struggles prove that having money doesn't equal a care free life.
The two men are competing for the same scholarship. Isiah because he needs the money, and Darren because it's a family legacy. The differences in the two men are many and well done. The way the two characters come together, slowly starting to let one another in, is well done. Their obstacles are real, and yet, they can't help but to fall in love.
The relationship is a slow burn one, with some heat once they connect. I enjoy the way things evolve for the two, despite them being competitors for the scholarship.
Best of all though, is the ending. I had no clue how their conflict could ever be happily resolved, but the author pulls it off wonderfully.
The writing is good, albeit slow. The third person pov, although alternating, is what kept me a little put off from the writing. A first person pov would have pulled me into the characters more.
Overall, Better Have Heart is a nice slow burn romance. It's an entertaining college romance that's definitely worth a read. The characters are wonderful and their story is beautiful.
_______________________________________________________________
Like a king, Darren came to the meeting like he’d rolled out of bed from a good fuck. Cheeks bright, hair damp and teased at the ends, gait relaxed like he was well and truly spent.
It was infuriating on many levels. Like the way President Jenkins didn’t bat an eye and said, “on time.”
Christ.
On time was Isaiah missing his modern jazz performance class, putting on a suit, and walking through the ninety-plus degree heat to get here before the mentors.
On time was turning down a paid yoga session because they had scheduled two hours for this meeting.
On time was ignoring the call from his mom ten minutes before the meeting because Jenkins had delivered him a look.
He glanced at Darren again.
Yeah, Darren coming in like that was infuriating, all right. Especially how Isaiah’s traitorous body responded every time their gazes clashed.
So, Darren might be hot. Okay, insanely hot. But beneath all that, Isaiah was looking at an aristocratic charmer. The type of man who knew all the right names to drop to get his way.
There was a certain amount of jealousy in that assessment, sure, but his frustration stemmed from something deeper than that. It stemmed from the gnawing worry in his gut.
Winning for him meant being that much closer to giving mom a break from two jobs just to keep a roof over her and his siblings’ heads.
For that to happen, he needed a chance. A level playing field. Not Darren waltzing in with a smile to make the judges swoon.

Andy Gallo
Andy does not write about personal experiences and no living or deceased ex-boyfriends appear on the pages of his stories. He might subconsciously infuse his characters with some of their less noble qualities, but that is entirely coincidental even if their names are the same. And while Andy leaves the hard sci-fi/fantasy for his alter ego, Andrew, in his mind a touch of the supernatural never derailed a good relationship.
Married and living his own happy every after, Andy helps others find their happy endings in the pages of his stories. He and his husband of more than twenty years spend their days raising their daughter and rubbing elbows with other parents. Embracing his status as the gay dad, Andy sometimes has to remind others that one does want a hint of color even when chasing after their child.
