Expected publication: October 1st 2013 by Walker Books for Young Readers
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?

In her spare time she’s the Hockey Mom for her kids hockey teams and is an active Girl Scout leader specially trained in outdoor education.

hmm imi place, dar nu-mi place...e simpatica dar nu cred ca o voi citi, poate am si depasit varsta pentru astfel de romane. Primul volum din Chimie perfecat mi-a placut enorm de mult, dar restul nu m-au mai interesat
Nu cunosc autoarea, sincer, nu mă prea atrage atât de mult

seria chimie perfecta e una dintre preferatele mele iar aceasta noua carte pare una superba :D
Nu am citit nimic de la autoarea asta, dar îmi place coperta mult!
Nu am citit nimic scris de aceasta autoare, insa nici nu ma atrage nimic, Totul este prea tipic din cate am observat, nimic special, cel putin asta este parerea mea.
