First off, I can't believe I have to wait for the next book in this fantastic new series! Bay and Dare have stolen my heart and right now I don't want it back. The Art of Falling For You is the first book in a new series from Maya Hughes and it is perfection! Dare and Bay are in their senior year of high school with only a few months left and from not noticing each other, they start to entwine each other in their lives. Bay moved to town three years ago, but the nickname, The New Girl hasn't gone away. Dare is a star football player, who doesn't care about anyone but himself, with a goal to make it to the pros. Until one day, Dare hears Bay singing, and from that moment on he has to know her. Bay and Dare take us on the emotional journey that will have you on the edge of your seat waiting to see what happens between these two. Now, I have to wait for the second book to see how their story continues! Don't miss out on this whirlwind of a story that will hook you and leave you wanting more of Dare and Bay!
Didn’t realize this was a series & no HEA. It wasn’t bad,but I hate having to read even more to find out what I expected to find out inthe lead book.
First new series by Maya Hughes! Yay! I love her books, and I was really excited to start this series.
And of course, when it comes to NA, I can't miss it.
This is a trilogy, which means that the book ends with a cliffhanger and there is going to be more to come soon. The story starts in the present, and we see how the main protagonists, Bay and Dare, have met and started getting interested in one another.
Bay is your typical neighborhood girl. She loves music, she's a bit of a nerd, and she has a lot of dreams.
Dare is a jock, and his dream is being drafted. He also has a few dreams of his own, aside for economic stability, but the circumstances are not good for him but see that he tries to survive the best he can.
This is a sort of introductory book, because it is mainly focused on Bay and Dare and their last year of high school. I wouldn't define it a slow burn, but the characters take a few chapters to trust each other more and be more interested in each other.
Can't wait to see what happens in the next book!

Get ready for an epic beginning to a trilogy
I feel like I’m always saying this but Hughes has done it again. Initially upon first seeing this book I had no idea this was going to be a trilogy, so I’ll caution those that like to start reading after the whole series is finished. This was so refreshing to read. I had honestly forgotten how much I loved sports romances until this one. I love how this story provides the background for Dare and Bay’s coupling. It genius because you actually have the time to develop connections with the two of them. It wasn’t rushed in that flashback way that can sometimes happen. I don’t want to give away much of the storyline but just know I love this I mean who doesn’t love a good opposites attract story. This is a Hughes book so of course you’re absolutely going to get sucked in until the very end and I mean that ending....When is the next book out?

This book is packed full of emotion. This book took me on one heck of a roller coaster ride of emotion. This is the first book in the trilogy and the beginning of Bay and Dare's journey. There are moments where this book made me smile and my heart happy sigh. There are romantic moments and seeing Dare enjoy some light in his life did my heart good. Then this book had my heart breaking. Not gonna lie there is one part where I could feel my heart rip out of my chest along with Bay's Honestly Dare has his work cut out for him because there is no way I could forgive him. I understand his background of why he is so angry he is, but what he did for me is unforgivable. I'm not a big fan of Dare's at the end of this. He as a lot of redemption to come to win me back. Where this leaves us I'm so glad we don't have too long of await for the next book. Maya Hughes did a bang of job out creating a gripping book.
I loved this book and it was by far my favorite of the series. I loves the dynamics between Dare and Bay and how you got to see into both their worlds. Their chemistry was off the charts and also so sweet!
66% in. I'm getting bored with this. So much in fact I already started and finished two other books. (And barely started another boring one.)
I've already seen some reviews that let me know it's a cliffhanger. It's so slow at this point, do I care? I already feel like this part of their story could have been condensed down. Do I really need to know about EVERY SINGLE DAY??

I did end up finishing this one... only because there was a power outage and there wasn't much else downloaded. It didn't get better.
