This book was so much fun to read. I highly recommend it to all of you in book mourning, wanting to read a romance or who just love romances. A lot of people say this book is cliche, well, I like cliches. The relationships in the story were great and I couldn't help but fall in love with the characters. By the Angel, the witty banter between Ashtyn and Derek was so much fun to read, it was kind of like watching a tennis match, haha. I liked the characterization in this book and the plot was better than perfect. ;) ;) I'm giving this book a 9/10, which, as most of you know, is really high in my rating levels, I mean 7 is really high, so yeah I did actually really enjoy this book. I hear there's a second book coming out in 2015 ? But there's no info about it yet! D: 
This story is about Ashtyn Parker and Derek Fitzpatrick. 
So Derek is that troubled, seriously hot, bad boy. In the beginning of the book he's getting expelled from his boarding school. After being expelled, he then has to move across the country with his step mom to live with his step mom's family. There he meets what I guess is his step aunt, Ashtyn Parker. Ashtyn isn't the typical blonde. She's the only girl on her football team and often acts more like a guy than a girl. So then stuff happens and it's a romance. Go read it, okay? Okay. 
Here's the official synopsis:
After getting kicked out of boarding school, bad boy Derek Fitzpatrick has no choice but to live with his ditzy stepmother while his military dad is deployed. Things quickly go from bad to worse when he finds out she plans to move them back to her childhood home in Illinois. Derek’s counting the days before he can be on his own, and the last thing he needs is to get involved with someone else’s family drama.

Ashtyn Parker knows one thing for certain--people you care about leave without a backward glance. A football scholarship would finally give her the chance to leave. So she pours everything into winning a state championship, until her boyfriend and star quarterback betrays them all by joining their rival team. Ashtyn needs a new game plan, but it requires trusting Derek—someone she barely knows, someone born to break the rules. Is she willing to put her heart on the line to try and win it all?
