New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Cora Carmack follows up her trio of hits—Losing It, Faking It, and Finding It—with this thrilling first novel in an explosive series bursting with the Texas flavor, edge, and steamy romance of Friday Night Lights.
In Texas, two things are cherished above all else—football and gossip. My life has always been ruled by both.
Dallas Cole loathes football. That's what happens when you spend your whole childhood coming in second to a sport. College is her time to step out of the bleachers, and put the playing field (and the players) in her past.
But life doesn't always go as planned. As if going to the same college as her football star ex wasn’t bad enough, her father, a Texas high school coaching phenom, has decided to make the jump to college ball… as the new head coach at Rusk University. Dallas finds herself in the shadows of her father and football all over again.
Carson McClain is determined to go from second-string quarterback to the starting line-up. He needs the scholarship and the future that football provides. But when a beautiful redhead literally falls into his life, his focus is more than tested. It's obliterated.
Dallas doesn't know Carson is on the team. Carson doesn't know that Dallas is his new coach's daughter.
And neither of them know how to walk away from the attraction they feel.

This book was oh so sweet, and I felt all kinds of warm and fuzzy while reading. It defiantly was an easy, and relaxing read, and it also complimented my day of lounging in the sun perfectly.
Carson, boy was he cute. I loved his character and just his overall awesome personality. He was the embodiment of a good guy, he was caring, sweet, and never came off lame, or unrealistically nice. The only thing I wish is that I would have gotten to know him more. There was never really a "get to know you" part of the book where the characters discussed their past and I could feel like they really bonded. It was mentioned that Carson and Dallas hung out and talked a lot, but only in passing so we miss out on it.
(Oh ps don't tell Cassi because she is totally crazy for him, but I could only really picture Robbie Amell as Carson. Hello handsome!)
Dallas, I liked her. She didn't stand out for me, like some of Cora's other female leads, but I identified with her, and she never annoyed the crap out of me.
I gave this book 4 Keos, because as sweet and charming as it was, I just felt like something was missing. The characters were awesome, and the storyline was good, but there should have just been more to it. Just like what I said about Carson, what I did get to see of his past and him and Dallas together gave me all kinds of feels, however I just needed more, for their story to really embed itself into my bookish heart.
