Goodreads Summary:
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?

Why I Can't Wait:
I don't know if any of you are familiar with Author Simone Elkeles, but if you are, you know that her books are full of swoon worthy boys and amazing romance. I found Simone's books on my recommendation page from Amazon a while back. I read the book description for Perfect Chemistry and I was sold! Oh My God!!! Those Fuentes brothers ..... Caliente!!!!! I read the series back to back. I could not put these books down !!! My house was a mess, I was skipping meals, the laundry was piling up (you get the idea, eh?!) Her writing style is very engaging. It always leaves me wanting more! I can't wait to see what the WILD CARD Series will bring. I'm super excited!!! Is it October yet ? :P
