From New York Times Bestseller Mimi Jean Pamfiloff comes SMART TASS, a new Romantic Comedy.He’s the hot college quarterback all the girls want. She’s the smart girl he loves to pick on.And now that they’re all grown up, things are about to get geekin’ ugly… my parade. When we were little, he’d pull my hair and call me names. When we were teenagers, he’d throw food and tease me for being a flat-chested virgin.
But now that we’ve ended up at the same college, he’s out of his hot head if he thinks he can keep messing with my life. It’s like he’s fixated on me or something. Well, guess what, Mr. Amazefootball? I’m not that geeky little girl anymore and you do not screw with a smart woman.
So what’s my plan?
It’s definitely wild, and he’s about to find out…

after reading the neighbors from hell series, i found this book to be a bit ‘faded’. it was still a nice read, and entertaining, but didnt have the pop, and snap of similar other books
I loved this book! Everything this author writes is going to be good!
Love this book. I read it in a few hours because I could not stop reading it.
It was ok
Fun to read!
Another great book by Mimi Jean Pamfiloff. This NA Rom-Com (new adult is something I rarely read but it’s MJP I make the exception) was so fun to read. It was nice to read a book that wasn’t Geek but Nerd. A first person POV from Tass’ perspective. NA is a new genre for MJP, I think she did brilliantly, the characters are all in college, and it shows the progression of Tass growing up.
Tass and Hunter have known each other since they were little it wasn’t until they started school did they realize how different they were. Tass is genius level brilliant and Hunter is a jock. Tass thought she was finally rid of Hunter after high school and 13 years of Hunter picking on her but he ended up in the same college as she did. Still it’s a big campus she could avoid him but one stupid fraternity prank brings Hunter into her life again only to confuse and upset her plans. Can they work together to get what they both want or will their real feelings get in the way of things.
Overall, great read. Tass and Hunter are quite the pair. And also mild cliffhanger having to do with the side characters Elle and Henry who star in the next book
Smart Tass is book one in the OHellNo series by Mimi Jean Pamfiloff. I’ve been a fan of Mimi Jean’s books forever. She never fails to amaze me with each new book or series. They are all so unique to one another, each one a complete new adventure. Such is the case with this new series. It is fun, yet has a serious side. It’s a little bit sexy and a lotta bit sassy.
Tassie Summerset comes from a family of academic over achievers. Both her parents and her older brother have accomplished great things. Now it’s her turn. She is weighted down with pressure to carry on the family torch. Her entire life Tassie’s family has lived next door to the Johnson family. Their son, Hunter is her age. Before they were school age, they were best friends. Then came the first day of kindergarten and everything changed. For the next thirteen years Hunter made her life a nightmare with teasing and taunting. Tassie looked forward to college and getting away from Hunter, until he chose the same college as she did, Austin U.
Hunter Johnson, aka Hunt, became a football star in high school and is now the starting quarterback for their college team. The man is solid muscle and heads turn when he walks by.
Tassie is expected to follow her mother’s footsteps and get into the Tri Kappa Sorority House. But the most recent prank of Hunter’s has put her acceptance in grave danger. So Tassie has a plan to get him back. Let the games begin.
As Tassie and Hunter circle each other in their never ending battle, truths begin to come out. Tassie has remembered things one way, her way. Her memory has left out some things. Is it possible that the ongoing problems between them are partly her fault as well? And Tassie’s roommate has a theory. That when a boy bothers you, it usually means he likes you. Could it be possible that all along, Hunter was just trying to get her attention. That he was into her?
Lines were definitely crossed in the battle between these two. I actually worried that the damage was too much. But even though Hunter did some despicable things, when the truth came out, I fell in love with him.
I loved this book but if I had one tiny little complaint, it’s that the whole book is told from Tassie’s point of view. Oh how I wanted to hear what Hunter was thinking. As always, though, Mimi Jean has managed to entertain me, make me smile and sigh and swoon and just make my day better. I am so excited to read the next book, Oh Henry, which is Tassie’s roommate Elle’s story, and Henry, Hunters friend and fellow football player. I can’t wait to see what Mimi has in store for these two.
Got to be honest here this wasn’t my favourite of this authors work.
Maybe because this was New Adult which really isn’t usually my thing.
But I think my main issue here may have been that I wasn’t really that keen on either main character.
I just found them not that likeable and because of this, I wasn’t really that invested in their overall outcome together.
This is at its heart enemies to lovers type scenario.
Or in this case, childish juvenile behaviour all through adolescence continuing into adulthood.
Somebody ought to have knocked these two heads together years ago.
And the parents really should have staged an intervention at some point.
So yeh I could have forgiven all misdemeanours here if this had then redeemed itself in college: but the same mistakes were being repeated over and over again by two kids playing at being grown-ups.
They never seemed to learn and they were both as bad as the other.
I also couldn’t understand how Tass was so mad at Hunter over his bet: forgive me for misinterpreting but wasn’t that the original plan?
Why then turn around and act like the wronged party: was it only ok until she decided to do the deed: then the rules are changed.
Look this was amusing and had its moments just not enough for me to turn a blind eye to the characters childish antics.
So yeh this had its good and bad points just a shame the characters were not more likeable: if they had been I probably would have rated this much higher.
Again as I would expect from this author this was a fabulously well-written read: really can’t fault it on that.
I voluntary reviewed an Arc of Smart Tass (OHellNo, #1)

Started off slow but was happy when it finally picked up and got to the good stuff.
Loved it couldn’t put it down can’t wait to read the next one
What could be better and a hot jock and a sassy nerd falling in love? A jock and nerd who make me laugh, smile and in the end leave me with a huge smile and a story with a great moral at the end!
This book was witty and funny couldn’t put it down.
I couldn’t sleep, so I started this book at around 10pm… it was 6am and I was on chapter 20. Entertaining and funny, a page-turner! It’s a sweet romantic comedy with light sprincles of dirty deeds
While the book was easy to read, I loved the original plot.
This is another book I picked up for free. Great deal on this book and it is currently still FREE!.
Tass and Hunter.
Jock and nerd girl.
As if getting picked on by a boy in school isn’t enough she lived next door to Hunter, and they get scholarships to the same college! Hunter deserves all the snark he gets, or does he. Tass might be a smartie pants but shes only got the book smarts going for her, Shes totally dumb when it comes to Hunter. It may turn out that a big, muscly, hunk of a jock doesn’t want a made up beauty queen.. Maybe the nerdy girl in her glasses is exactly what he wants.
The back and forth between these characters entertained me.
“his cocky grin morphs into a flat pair of lips and twitching blue eyes.
He’s pissed. Another point me.
I sigh contentedly, turn, and exit the library.
Brains beat brawn every time.”
I had quite a few LOL moments and had some parts I almost cried. I enjoyed all the characters and cannot wait to get Henry’s book.! All together I really liked this story. Fun, witty, sexy and slightly emotional. This is the first book of Mimi Jean Pamfiloff’s I have read and I will be sure to read more.
I really like lead characters. Very real issues.
I didn’t care for this book too boring to me
This was a cute and entertaining read. I ended up buying the next two books in the series and they just get better!
It was sweet and I liked the characters, but it wasn’t anything amazing. Nice fluff story
This book got me in the feels!
I loved Tass and her witty self.
The twist in this book was SO unexpected I loved it, talking about pulling the rug out from under you. I was so into this book! I can’t wait to read more from this author.
Very well written, and I loved Hunt he was so perfect, yet frustrating! Swoon worthy!
