I loved this book! It was very sweet, low angst and only had little drama. I really love a good sports romance and this one hit the mark for me. I wish it had a little more steam but I really loved this one! Can't wait to read more in this series!

It could be I just wasn't in the right mood, but I just couldn't get into it the way I wanted to.

I have enjoyed the author's work in the past and was excited to read this. I enjoyed it but the characters were younger than the author's previous work and for some reason it kept me from getting as into as I would have liked. The writing was strong and I enjoyed the story, I just think I might be a little older than the intended audience.

Just like the first time I read this I loved it. First time was a physical book this time was an audiobook. I love the dynamic between the FMC and the MMC. There is a lot of growth for them both in very different ways. My only complaint is that it’s not longer.

This was a re read for me because I now have book 2 and 3 and I wanted to get the full experience.
I loved this book more the second time.
Dallas's wit really got to me this time. I think it was her way of showing emotion because it is something she has a hard time expressing.
I love that she wasn't wimp or whiny or like a total valley girl.
She was a strong female character from the first page to the last. That's huge to me. I hate when you have a strong female made wimpy by a male character.
I like that you meet Levi and Silas's before you ever meet Carson so you not sure who her love interest is going to be until you know.
Carson sure does push him self for someone who to me didn't feel like the football guy you know. Until he does. Its one of the things I like most.
Dallas's dad was a bit of a mystery to me. I get the overprotective stuff but come on making her move back home? I didn't get that part. But that's just me.
On too book 2!

The only thing we can do is try to find people whose scars compliment our own.
Well, color me shocked. I went into this book not expecting a lot - considering how I felt about Carmack's Losing It series, I'm actually surprised I continued reading her new adult books. But I'm so glad I did because this was adorable and funny and just what I needed after reading two books about assassins.
Meet Dallas, who, and I quote, "...prefers the company of books to people. Or movies to people." Me too, girl, me too. Starting her freshman year at Rusk University, she should be excited about this new journey in her life, but she isn't. Part due to the fact that her ex-boyfriend, aka star quarterback, goes to Rusk and also her father just accepted a position as head coach of said football team. Joy. Determined to stay away from the team and strictly focus on her dancing, she of course ends up making out with a new team member at a frat party.
*cue Dallas's inner freak out*
New team member is Carson and he is freaking adorable and swoonworthy as all hell. He's instantly taken by Dallas (amazingly not in an instalove way) and wants to get to know more about her. But that's hard when she starts avoiding him like the plague when she finds out he plays football for her father. Undeterred, he enters the friendzone - which is obviously hell for both of them and leads to some funny interactions. But it also made them get to know each other and their connection felt more real.
Like most new adult books, there's drama. But this didn't feel weighed down with it and the drama fit with maturing that comes in college. SO while I wanted to shake Dallas for her ridiculousness, I could also understand where she's coming from. Insecurities are a bitch. And contrary to popular belief, we can't just get over them. So, were they a little over the top at times? Yes. But Dallas was a very high strung character, so it fit.
I'm still so shocked that this is the same author who wrote Losing It, but it's nice to see an author grow and become better (sorry to all the people who liked Losing it, I obviously didn't). I look forward to reading the rest of this series.

4,5 Sterne! :)
Das Buch hat mir wirklich sehr gut gefallen aber irgendwie hat mir noch etwas gefehlt, daher nur 4,5 Sterne.
Carson und Dallas sind wunderbare Charaktere und ihre Handlungen und Denkweisen sind mir nicht einmal auf die Nerven gegangen (und das hat bei solchen Büchern schon was zu heißen :D).
Kann das Buch nur jedem empfehlen :)
