Wild Cards

I was intrigued by the idea of this book, but to be honest – I really didn't have high hopes that I would enjoy it. I mean c'mon – a female football player who falls for the bad boy?

But I was oh so wrong.

I couldn't stop reading!

Wild Cards had just the right amount of drama, angst, and swoon-worthy love.

At it's core, this is really a fairy-tale romance told within the context of a Contemporary YA.

You've got a bad-boy who is deeply hurt and needs to be “fixed” by the love of a woman.

You've got the tough girl exterior that's just hiding the fact that she wants to be held and loved and taken care of.

The two butt heads and spend a lot of time fighting their undeniable chemistry.

And in the end – well, it's a fairy tale romance. It ends exactly the way you would expect it to.

It also appears that this is the beginning of a series. I'm not sure if that means we'll get to see more of Derek and Ashtyn in the next book or if it will be more like Katie McGarry's Pushing the Limits series – where each book is about a different couple. I expect it's probably the latter. We might even get a book about asshole Landon! I'd like him to get a chance to redeem himself.
